Introduction

Blackheart is one of the Marvel characters in Marvel vs Capcom 2. The son of Mephisto and (badly) seen in Ghostrider.

He's top tier and has one great zoning assist and a tricky ground assist. His infinite can kill anybody not paying attention.

Note that the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of MvC2 have a variety of glitches involving Blackheart, such as his super sometimes doing no chip damage.

TO-DO: Add frame data, as well as missing sprites

Gameplay

Blackheart is a Zoner/Trap character who can use hordes of demons and massive projectiles to keep out the opponent. His main strengths is his oppressive projectiles but his weakness is characters that can hit him up in the air or punish him.

Strengths

Weaknesses

Easy Infinite: Blackheart has a very simple infinite, utilizing his capture demons and air-dash to erase opponent's life bars while gaining meter at a fast rate. Good Assist: Blackheart's anti-air assist is good for both zoning and anti-zoning, due to its tracking, huge hitbox, and two hits, though it has slow start-up. Meter Build: Blackheart builds meter at a fairly fast rate while just playing his ordinary zoning strategy. High Health: Blackheart is one of the sturdier characters in the game with an 87% damage modifier.

Big Body: It's easy for certain characters to catch and pick apart Blackheart once they land a hit. Characters with great movement (Storm/Magneto) and great zoning (Cable) can exploit this the best. Unsafe Dash: Blackheart's dash cannot be cancelled, this can get him in trouble after a flying screen forced dash is triggered. Gives opponents meter: Hitting with his demons builds himself and the opponent a lot of meter, particularly with his infinite this must be considered.

Strider kinda just goes flying around. The lp version is good for air combo's seeing how it does pretty solid life. The lk version during orbs can be used to combo into his instant overhead and his fp\rh version can be used to capture assists during funny bounces in order to land assist kill oppurtunites. Each has a unique purpose. Note, the lp version creates OTG properties.

Primarily, you don't want to do this move. However, it happens to every strider from time to time. Its impossible to input that teleport perfectly every time so its good to know how the wall climb works. First off, once you get stuck on the wall there are 4 things you can do. You can hit P to slash at your opponent, hit K to jump off the wall and kick someone, hit d+k to slide down the wall and kick down and lastly, b-f input to sling to wall opposite of strider. useful tip: if you ever get stuck on the wall, you can use the b-f twice. Once you do this, you will be immediately released from the wall and you will be able to attack and call your assist as you're falling. essentially, when wall climbs happen, you have to try your best to out smart your opponent to get down safe. Strider has no advantages while on the wall. Everything has to be done in reaction to your opponents move. Since striders teleport is a staple point of his game play, this is something that every s\d player has learned to deal w\ over time because it happens.

Strider summons an animal that comes running in from behind the screen and the out towards the enemy covering the ground. Pretty decent hit box on this thing. Much taller than it appears and has a wide cancel window. Quick startup.

One of striders least used moves while ironically its his fastest projectile. Strider summons a tiny machine with the first sonic boom. Upon the summon, the machine will hang around w\him until you tag or dhc out, if he dies or he throws it w\ another sonic boom input + p. Can be canceled orbs for practical setups. Also can be used in the air but not really recommended. The air version leaves him in a very vulnerable state since it has bad recovery frames. Bad block stun frames.

Formation C

The bombs. A very useful tool and from my experience, its useful in all of his fights. Some more than others but very useful none the less. Can be canceled into orbs, average\great block stun time, horrible recovery unless canceled into. Strider summons a bomb from off the screen. The lk version lands next to him and the RH version goes 90% screen. When you summon the bomb, it cannot be destroyed. It can only be destroyed when the bomb has the parachute on it as its descending. The best feature of the bomb is its explosion animation which lasts for a quite a while. Even once the animation has totally disappeared, there are still active hit box frames for 2-3 frames estimating after that.

Striders best super. Upon activation, he gets 2 machines that rotate around him. As the punch buttons are pressed, each of the machines will shoot 1 projectile in the form of a ring. Depending where they are in relation to strider as the spin, determines where the rings will be released from.

Strider dashes forward and does a hit grab super. Nothing too much to report. Yes there are some setups but for the most part, you don't want to use this seeing how you need bar for his orbs. This is a fancy finisher but beware of the motion overlap with Ragnarok and Ouroboros. You can lose entire games off of this missed input.

To an extent, striders 2nd best super. Although, most of his supers are supposed to be used for his orbs, this super has very quick activation time. Since strider is often paired with sentinel, you can use it to dhc combo into hsf very easily off a magic series, s.fp
