== Story ==
[[image:MvC2amingo.png]]
Amingo is a character created uniquely for Marvel vs Capcom 2, there's no real backstory here.  


Created uniquely for Marvel vs Capcom 2, there's no real backstory here. He may be searching for the 'destructive wind sweeping across the land' that's destroying plant life, since that's part of the game's "plot". He is generally considered bottom tier.
Amingo is a member of a race known as the Man-Plants (人植物, hito-shokubutsu?), characterized by their cheerful and gentle personality.
 
Amingo is a big-bellied cactus man wearing Mexican clothes and carrying a guitar with him. Although sentient, he appears to speak exclusively by repeating his own name.
 
When a cursed wind started killing off all plant life on land, Amingo decided to venture on a journey to find its cause. He'd later discover the awakening of the ancient Armor of Erosion is the origin of this wind. During the ending's ride back home on Ruby Heart's ship, he can be seen onboard offering a flower to either Shuma-Gorath (Arcade version) or Rogue (home consoles version).
 
In  [[Marvel vs Capcom 3|Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3]], Amingo (mispelled "Amingos") makes a cameo in the Days of Future Past stage, featured in a giant wanted poster in the background, with a "Slain" bar over his mugshot.
 
He may be searching for the 'destructive wind sweeping across the land' that's destroying plant life, since that's part of the game's "plot".
 
TODO- Update special moves and supers to fit new format, tweak the pro/con table, add images for all moves

'''Amingo''' is generally considered bottom tier, but he still has some great moves in his kit. His overall slow pace and awkward playstyle pales in comparison to the rest of the cast.
{{ProConTable
|pros=
* '''Incredible Normals:''' 5{{hp}} and j.{{hk}} are two of the greatest normals in the game, with great damage and range.
* '''Deadly In The Corner:''' If you can get them into the corner, he has an infinite against Colossus, Sentinel, Megaman, Roll, and Servbot.
* '''Good Range:''' Generally has pretty good range on his normals due to his size.
* '''Good Super Utility:''' Supers have some utility, mainly because they can allow him to get out of harm's way quickly with a DHC.
* '''Cactus Kids:''' Cactus kids can be used to irritate your opponent, though they won't stand up to counter-zoning.
|cons=
* '''Poor Aerial Mobility:''' Air mobility isn't really there, which is a problem in this game. You can Cactus Dash in midair to get past some stuff, but it's kinda laggy and not as useful as an airdash
* '''Big Body:''' He's pretty big. Easy to combo, in other words.
* '''Little Offense/Pressure Potential:''' Amingo's moves are OK for the most part and can get you somewhere, but he's certainly no Sentinel.
* '''Easy To Lock Down:''' Amingo is easy to lock down with strong zoning. If your opponent starts a long-distance beam warfare against him, he's probably gonna die from chip damage if he can't escape.
* '''Relatively Low Damage:''' His normals and specials are OK, but his supers are pretty weak for the cost.
* '''Poor Synergy:''' Hard to build a team around or use him to support another character. It's easier to play him as a point character, but he'll need support of some kind to do this with any reliability.
* '''Just Not Great:''' Probably should have waited til MVC3 to show up rather than this game, as he gets squashed by the higher tiers.

On the plus side, your moves do excellent damage: cFP is the most damaging normal in the game. On the downside, Amingo sucks.  As such, you'll need to work for your damage.

You'll generally want to heartily abuse the jRH and the sFP.  You can cancel sFP into cactus babies and put a little pressue on, but you generally won't have that opportunity against anybody good.  Tiger kneed cactus dash should be fairly bread and butter for you. If you can get them in the air in the corner (such as off of his fierce throw or on a new character coming in), you can try for a vine super crossup—or simply do it if they hit a button.

If your opponent starts distance beam warfare against Amingo, you're going to lose and probably want to pick someone else now.

Story

Amingo is a character created uniquely for Marvel vs Capcom 2, there's no real backstory here.

Amingo is a member of a race known as the Man-Plants (人植物, hito-shokubutsu?), characterized by their cheerful and gentle personality.

Amingo is a big-bellied cactus man wearing Mexican clothes and carrying a guitar with him. Although sentient, he appears to speak exclusively by repeating his own name.

When a cursed wind started killing off all plant life on land, Amingo decided to venture on a journey to find its cause. He'd later discover the awakening of the ancient Armor of Erosion is the origin of this wind. During the ending's ride back home on Ruby Heart's ship, he can be seen onboard offering a flower to either Shuma-Gorath (Arcade version) or Rogue (home consoles version).

In Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Amingo (mispelled "Amingos") makes a cameo in the Days of Future Past stage, featured in a giant wanted poster in the background, with a "Slain" bar over his mugshot.

He may be searching for the 'destructive wind sweeping across the land' that's destroying plant life, since that's part of the game's "plot".

TODO- Update special moves and supers to fit new format, tweak the pro/con table, add images for all moves

Gameplay

Amingo is generally considered bottom tier, but he still has some great moves in his kit. His overall slow pace and awkward playstyle pales in comparison to the rest of the cast.

Strengths Weaknesses
  • Incredible Normals: 5Hp.png and j.Hk.png are two of the greatest normals in the game, with great damage and range.
  • Deadly In The Corner: If you can get them into the corner, he has an infinite against Colossus, Sentinel, Megaman, Roll, and Servbot.
  • Good Range: Generally has pretty good range on his normals due to his size.
  • Good Super Utility: Supers have some utility, mainly because they can allow him to get out of harm's way quickly with a DHC.
  • Cactus Kids: Cactus kids can be used to irritate your opponent, though they won't stand up to counter-zoning.
  • Poor Aerial Mobility: Air mobility isn't really there, which is a problem in this game. You can Cactus Dash in midair to get past some stuff, but it's kinda laggy and not as useful as an airdash
  • Big Body: He's pretty big. Easy to combo, in other words.
  • Little Offense/Pressure Potential: Amingo's moves are OK for the most part and can get you somewhere, but he's certainly no Sentinel.
  • Easy To Lock Down: Amingo is easy to lock down with strong zoning. If your opponent starts a long-distance beam warfare against him, he's probably gonna die from chip damage if he can't escape.
  • Relatively Low Damage: His normals and specials are OK, but his supers are pretty weak for the cost.
  • Poor Synergy: Hard to build a team around or use him to support another character. It's easier to play him as a point character, but he'll need support of some kind to do this with any reliability.
  • Just Not Great: Probably should have waited til MVC3 to show up rather than this game, as he gets squashed by the higher tiers.

Special Moves

Special Properties (glossary)
Cactus Dash (Kaze no Sakebi)
Qcf.png + P.png
4 x 2 + 10 / 3 x 6 + 12
Airok.png Probably Amingo's single most used special move in the game, due to his bread-and-butter combos using it to end combos. This can be done with either Lp.png, which is faster or Hp.png, which has more range and deals more damage but is much slower.
Cactus Bounce (Midori no Kanki)
Qcb.png + P.png
4 x 2 + 12 / 5 x 2 + 12
a short bounce
can be used to end combos for somewhat reliable damage but isn't used much
Child of the Earth (punch: Daichi no Kodomo)
Qcf.png + Lk.png
12
summons a small minion that travels slowly forward and smashes down on contact with an opponent.
you can cross the opponent up and the minion won't change direction, allowing for crossup mixups.
Child of the Earth (kick: Daichi no Kodomo)
Qcf.png + Hk.png
12
Nearly identical to the previous version but does a kick instead
they deal the same damage and appear to have the same speed so this will be updated if we find differences
Child of the Earth (grab: Daicho No Kodomo)
Qcb.png + K.png
12 + 6
Throw.pngsummons a small minion that travels slowly forward and grabs opponents on contact.
this move is unblockable, but the minion can be destroyed easily
you can cross the opponent up and the minion won't change direction, allowing for crossup mixups.
you can use this to extend combos but the window the grab gives you is very very small

You can have two cactus Children on-screen at any time.
They can only go one screen length before becoming dizzy and passing out.
They can be destroyed with any move by your opponent.
The grabbing Child is unblockable.

The Basics

On the plus side, your moves do excellent damage: 2Hp.png is the most damaging normal in the game. On the downside, Amingo sucks. As such, you'll need to work for your damage.

You'll generally want to heartily abuse the jHk.png and 5Hp.png. You can cancel 5Hp.png into cactus babies and put a little pressue on, but you generally won't have that opportunity against anybody good. Tiger kneed cactus dash should be fairly bread and butter for you. If you can get them in the air in the corner (such as off of his fierce throw or on a new character coming in), you can try for a vine super crossup—or simply do it if they hit a button.

If your opponent starts distance beam warfare against Amingo, you're going to lose and probably want to pick someone else now.
