Story

Nathaniel Christopher Charles Summers, better known as Cable, is a mutant from the future. He is an incredibly powerful mutant, being telepathic and able to use telekinesis. He was infected with the Techno-Organic virus when he was a baby by Mr. Sinister, and must use his powers to contain the virus, otherwise his whole body will turn into a machine, like his left arm and eye have.

In Marvel Vs. Capcom 2, Cable is one of the four gods. He possesses a decent - if not obnoxious - zoning game, and combined with certain assists allow him to zone effectively. The main star of the show in Cable's moveset, though, is the Air Hyper Viper Beam (AHVB), which almost single-handedly puts him in the top 4. Instant with high damage, hard to counter, and loopable for massive damage on any opening. If you want a character that can slowly chip your opponent down and then punish their mistakes with death, Cable is for you.

Gameplay

Cable is mainly known for zoning and his Air Hyper Viper Beam. Knowing how to use AHVB effectively is a crucial part of this character.

Strengths

Weaknesses

Air Hyper Viper Beam: This move is one of the best supers in the game. 1 frame startup, full screen, massive damage, loopable... the list goes on. This move is the reason to play Cable, and the reason why he's a god. Winning matchup against Sentinel: This is another good reason to play the character, as many characters simply do not have a good matchup. Cable is an exception. Easy to pickup: Cable is probably the easiest of the four gods to learn how to play. Guard breaks: Cable has an easy guard break, and combined with AHVB, can kill a character before they even hit the ground. Grenades: Lingers for a while, denies rushdown attempts, including trijumps. Good move to play defensively.

Bad mobility: Outside of dashing, jumping, and super jumping, Cable has poor mobility. Bad without meter: AHVB is the reason to play Cable... but he needs meter to do it. If you don't have meter, Cable isn't that great. Limited solo defensive options: Outside of Psimitar, which is a DP (though not a great one), Cable has few options for escaping pressure. No mixup: Cable struggles to find an opening, as he has no real mixup.

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
4	4	10	11	H
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	Chain, Special, Super	-	-	-
A quick punch. Not really much to talk about, and you won't see this very often, as Cable very rarely does air combos.

Jumping Medium Punch
Jump+MP // Jump + ,

Another aerial gun hit.

Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
6	17	-	25	H
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	Special, Super	-	-	-
A pretty useful move. Like his other HP buttons, this shoots an invisible projectile across the screen. Used in guard break setups a lot, and generally really good in his zoning game. An invaluable move.

Jumping Light Kick
Jump+LK // Jump +

A knee.

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
4	6	3	19	H
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock

13	12	6	18	H
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	Special, Super	-	-	-
Your main jump-in move. Pretty good hitbox, and lasts for a while. Can sometimes crossup.

Command Normals

Forward Heavy Kick
6HK // +

A grounded leaping kick.

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
13	20	3	31	HL
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	Special, Super	-	-	-
A pretty useless move. You can theoretically kara cancel this into special moves, but it's not even really good for that. Try to avoid this one, unless you're styling.

Universal Mechanics

Launcher
3HP // +

Launcher

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
10	7	2	13	HL
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	Special, Super	-	-	-
Standing medium punch launcher, but it does slightly more damage, and you can do it raw.

Throw (Kick)
4/6HK // or +

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
16	-	-	-	N/A
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock

Gun not present.

Air version.

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
15 (LP), 18 (HP)	19 (LP, ground) 20 (HP, ground) 16 (LP, air) 18 (HP, air)	11 (LP), 31 (HP)	41 (Ground), 29 (Air)	HL
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
Projectile	Special, Super	-	-	-
Cable takes out a beam rifle, and fires it across the screen. Decent for zoning, but unsafe on block, unless you're in the air.

Psimitar
DP+P // + or

Completely invulnerable on startup.

First active frame.

Projectile thrown

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
21 (LP), 24 (HP)	5	10, -	30 (LP), 46 (HP)	HL
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
Projectile	Special, Super	-	-	-
Cable takes out a halberd-like weapon charged with psionic energy and throws it into the sky. A good reversal option, as it is invincible until (but not as) it hits. Kara cancelling this into AHVB is a good way to start learning them, if Tiger Knee motions are too tough.
