Silver Samurai has been underrated for DECADES in Marvel vs Capcom 2. This "low tier" character has powerful supers, strong mixups, and A TRUE INFINITE!! Today I'll be talking about why this character is actually good, and showing you some combos and online matches to give you an idea of what he can accomplish in-game. Hope you enjoy!

I think my favorite thing about MVC2 is it has a gajillion infinites and they don't even break the game. Like, there aren't even banned characters like you might expect, because like a third of the cast has them so it's just not worth it. I absolutely love it. More bonkers fighters like this please.

MvC2 has probably the best damage scaling system ever implemented. basically nothing does pretty much any damage at all after some hits, and undizzy makes it so pretty much no one can infinite you until you die. at the end of the day, if anyone gets you with an infinitie, they need to go close to undizzy and combo into 2 supers to get a kill making real TODs from 100% life quite unlikely, and that's what makes the infinites and stuff like it to not break the game. get that and add the whole "you really need to hit you opponent in the proper situation to be able to TOD him" and you get a game with very, very low amount of real TODs even at the highest level.

Samurai's instant overhead paired with assists puts in some real work. Dang. Also, can we talk about how amazing Capcom's sprites were in the 90's? They could have just given Samurai a white uniform and called it a day but instead they made this cool shimmer. It's like the guy's wearing a suit made of platinum. One of my favorite things about this MvC2 resurgence (and thanks again to the heroes like Justin Wong and jmcrofts for making it happen) is that all these decades-old sprites are getting a chance to shine again.

Back when the mvc2 community was local and unplugged (early 2000's) I used to wreck house with SS. His sweep into lightning super mashed is incredibly powerful, especially on tall characters. His chip damage on shuriken with his flame powerup is ridiculous, and his ice spike super comes out so fast and absolutely wrecks assists.

Bison, Moon Knight, MVC2 Sentinel, MVC2 Cyclops, MVC2 Ken, MVCI Thanos, STARS Wesker, Jill, and Chris, and a bunch of really cool characters.

unfortunately it is the glitch that makes him an A/B due to his ability to erase assists for you. he plays like a slower version of his msh self which is still faster than the msh version of him but essentially weaker. he's also still super stubby and needs to attack with his face which didnt work at the high level because people know how to quickly bust super armor at that level.

Juggernaut Bitch Loves dem hoes, especially Tronbon and Bulleta- If Tronbon ever Hits you will all of the Radar Array dish, That by itself does 25% health. There is a juggle where you cross over with Tronbon, do the radar dish, while you call powered glitch Juggernaut, some of the dish hits connect, Juggs hits, and remaining hit from Trombon comes out to about 40% health lost with some room for recovery. No super Part two with Bulleta is more complicated cause you need to drop her Missle she jumps up first to fire down on your opponent- usually after a trip or a bad roll, When she lands, summon Juggs instead of following the missle in. If the player tries to hit Bulleta, Juggs will send the player into the missle and bulleta can do her flame thrower and cancel into her big guns. It makes for 60% health gone for a simple mistake anyone can do

SIlver Samurai's super is one of the best in the game even if you include the top tiers. the only super that the god tiers have that's really better than SS's is Cable's AHVB. Neither Hailstorm or HSF are clearly better. Also, the ice powerup is crazy, is in another league when compared do Colossus.... it has a much faster startup, the amount of reduced damage is kinda crazy, and it can be refreshed before it ends. I'd say you probably should use the Ice Powerup at almost every fight with SilSam

Got me theorycrafting some Silver Samurai teams now. I think if you take Jill heal assist, you could justify using the forms other than ice, and I think ice has some interesting use cases in an anchor situation. The infinite just makes a stronger case for building a good team around him. I like the Juggernaut pick to make up for some of his damage and spacing deficiencies.

Basically all of this stuff was known about back in the day, and a few more things that you didn't mention, but I don't think anyone was "wrong" about Silver Samurai. The problem is, he does poorly against every top tier in the game, which may not be as much of a factor in ratio tournaments, but when it was two players who had free choice of the whole roster and were trying to win he really does struggle a lot. You can argue about whether he was underrated when people called him "low tier", but he's never going to rise beyond lower mid without some sort of qualifying conditions like ratios. I tried really hard to make him do work back in the arcades, and while I did occasionally find moderate success, current me realizes that there's no (objective) reason to pick him when you could just pick Cable or Sentinel instead.

These character overviews are good. Keep doing them. Is Hayato any good in any way? What about Ruby Heart?

Ruby heart is actually pretty good hayato however, sucks. His normals, combos, and supers are severely lacking compared to others.

Also wondering about Hayato, I think he’s super fun and his design is sick, but it seems he’s generally considered pretty bad. Maybe he’s got a good assist or a cool glitch or something

​@@CCuppy29 Hayato is complicated. His normals, and specials have strong range, and can easily be comboed into. However his sword slashes are rather laggy so his rushdown is unsafe outside of his light kicks. His expansion/balance assist is alright, and his anti air is not very good. Hayato's plasma field gives him unlimited super meter for 10 seconds which can be used to setup his level 3 for only one bar to get good damage. Hayato excels on the ground but lacks any options when fighting in the air, which obviously is a bad thing when the three gods can fight in the air. If anyone wants to play Hayato I recommend to learn the range of his normals, and plasma combos since they are vital to his gameplan. His sword slashes are unsafe but you can use his light kicks to recover faster if it's blocked. Shiden should be used only to hit confirm into his supers rather than to pressure since it's very unsafe. If you play Hayato on point I would recommend Silver Samurai's ground assist as it works well with Hayato's combos, and pressure. Hayato's Hyper Flash Sword super, and level 3 can also be DHC into Raimeiken for great damage as well. Thano's bubble assist, and Sabretooth projectile assist also works for setting up combos.

Doesn't Silver Samurai Ice Super also give him more hit stun on his attacks too?

He’s able to also stack his supers for more armor He can use all five bars and go through everything!!! You wanna use ice mode with three bars plus he is armored and can run through people

his infinite is just the Wolverine infinite from MvC1 if it was tweaked to work in MvC2's controls MvC1 Wolverine can crouch-cancel the first hit of his standing strong, so the infinite is to land standing strong by any means (cancel or raw, because you can do raw mediums in MvC1), then crouch-cancel the first hit, then 3button dash, then cancel the dash into any standing or crouching jab or short, then chain cancel to standing strong, and loop, but unlike SS, it works anywhere on screen, and in juggles

If anyone is interested, Silver Samurai's mutant power in the comics is that he can use his bio energy to super charge his sword making it unbreakable and sharp enough to cut any thing.

If MVC2 was ever to get a port on new console would you like a balance patch that would adjust characters like Silver Samurai to be a little more useful on his supers or would you keep it the exact same ?

I've been thinking about this a lot with the recent MVC2 resurgence. Watching the same matchups over and over again in competitive play is boring IMO, but would fixing those characters actually make it a better game? I don't know that it would.

Im no good player a mvc2 but i think the idea for using the "Element sword- Fire/Lightning/Ice" is to play the unpredictable game. The different supers could also technically be used for mix up options but they could also do the other supers for comboing with assists. Think of it this way Lightning- Obviously most versatile but good for countering assists Fire- Can be used with anti-air assists like blackheart or wolverine Ice- Stun/capture type can work but can also be used as a free chip/ pressure for your opponent to have to go airborne which could lead into anti airs or assists Thats what i believe the elements are for. Its meant for Silver Sam to be extremely versatile for different teams

His lightning super can kill Abyss third form instantly if you just dash into him and do it. I think damage needs to be set at a certain notch in options though.
