Part 6

Dive into Part 6 of our Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes guide, covering advanced character strategies for Anakaris, Blackheart, and Bulleta, including special moves and combos.

This section details advanced techniques and character-specific strategies for several characters in Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes.

Anakaris

• Pharaoh Cobra Blow: Create a 'vacuum' effect by extending the snakes fully to pull opponents in for more hits and damage. This is most effective when the opponent is cornered and you are right next to them, allowing for faster snake extension and retreat, though with slightly less damage. Mashing buttons rapidly in this close-up, cornered situation maximizes damage. Avoid using it with too much space between you and the opponent, as not all snake heads may combo, or if near the corner but not directly adjacent, as snake extension and retreat will be limited, resulting in lower damage.
• Hitsugi no Utage: Generally a weak combo due to being easily blockable and ineffective against opponents in the far corner. However, with precise positioning (opponent in the corner, specific distance away), all coffin hits can combo for 99 damage. An alternative combo is: c. HP, s-jump straight up LP, LK, MP, LP Cobra Blow, Hitsugi no Utage. This combo's effectiveness varies by character; it can result in insane damage, partial combos, or no hits at all. For more details, consult an Anakaris-specific FAQ.

Notes

• LP Dark Thunder hits twice from further away. HP version may also hit twice, but the condition is unknown.
• Blackheart's HP and HK attacks nullify projectiles. HP demons siphon life; HK demons immobilize opponents. The duration of these effects increases with more demons hitting. To escape HK demons, shake the controller and mash buttons.
• Blackheart is invincible during ground dashes and backsteps. Holding b or f during these actions extends movement distance.
• A player once achieved nearly 70 points of damage with Heart of Darkness; a reliable method for this is sought.
