Add Drones to Your M.O.D.O.K. Combos in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3

Combo videos are a great for picking up new ways to dole out damage with your favorite characters, but the speed, the cinematic nature (or lack thereof), and the general level of practicality of presented combos play major parts in the amount of information that can be gleaned from these often entertaining bits of footage.

Hitbox|Dustin’s latest M.O.D.O.K. video centers around adding Sentinel’s Drone assist to extend combos in a handful of ways. Since this video aims to teach rather than entertain, viewers will find handcam footage, slow motion replays, and explanations from Dustin himself as to what’s going on on the screen during these practical strings.

You’ll quickly notice that Dustin performs each of these combos on a hitbox (which makes sense), so those M.O.D.O.K. players out there who have chosen to eschew the joystick will be able to see the exact sort of button sequences necessary to add these combos to their game, but the information should still help those who use more traditional input methods as well.

Be sure to hit up the video’s description for time stamps and transcripts.
