Eternity Captain America One Trick here, and man thank you for the guide as usual. Learned a lot and actually had no idea about the shield bug. Always just thought marvel rivals hitboxes were wonky so never thought much of it Makes a lot of sense now
I enjoy the mind games that Cap creates, people get super paranoid when they spot you if you’ve repeated dived them. Having supports panic and hard focus you is great since they’re not healing whilst they do that.
And my team not understanding Cap always ask where is our tank ? When I 1 v 4 the backline, buying time for them to move up and somehow they still lose a 5 v 2😢
Awesome video and just wanted to say thank you. My team always needed that second vanguard and thanks to you I’ve really become a solid cap over the past two weeks. Not just things in the video but your gameplay has also helped me time things up. My blocking and damage went way up. Ability to create space went way up. Thanks again I am really stoked to be a cap main now
Thank You! This is pretty much what I've been doing which is reassuring - I think I just need to make overall better decisions like not getting greedy and chasing people or rushing back to help my team only to end up staggered in respawns. Basically, I just need more hours on cap to really embody these tips! Great Video! Your videos inspired me to choose Cap as my go to tank and he's been a blast to play so far!
Great guide, thank you! Your gameplay inspired me and I look forward to mastering Cap even more thanks to your tips, especially for the animation cancels.
A funny interaction with Cap and Moon Knight is that blocking as Cap (I'm not sure if this applies to all block/shield abilities, but I do know 100% that it works with Cap) will make MKs ankhs useless. If you dive a MK and he throws an ankh, simply blocking will prevent any projectile thrown at the ankh from targeting you, and it won't drain your shield at all. When he's reloading, destroy the ankh, and you should have an easy kill 9/10 times.
im a moon one trick and the way i deal with it is to position my ankh behind him, or position myself with the cap between me and the ankh, and shoot it if i can, the shots will reflect off the ankh and hit him in the back, forcing him to make a decision to either turn around and destroy the ankh and eat shots to the back from me directly or continue attacking me and eat shots to the back from the ankh. but most of the time the correct play is to just disengage and if he chases you down he's hard trolling
Thanks for the guide man, I had just been trying out all the tanks people play and not really liking them until I played cap and found how much pressure I could put on enemies without dying it's amazing. Now you definitely gave me some amazing ways to improve my gameplay too respect for passing on the tech
As a Cap main. I approve this video. the only thing i didnt know is you can set specific key binding options for hero specific. much appreciated your time doing this video
Oh well i feel pretty good i learned kind of everything you covered by the time i got lord on capt, love the character and i love the games u post. Keep it up!
If you have hold to sprint, you can hold sprint and hold down left click until it registers and let go instead of trying to tap the sprint and left click. Idk if it makes a big difference but it's really helpful to simplify it for me.
Couple things. With the Thor team up I believe you get a "electrified shield" that when using thorforce you get a small electric damage and knock back when sprinting into enemies with shield up. I also use an animation cancel where you just hold sprint and click to punch. Sprinting slightly between each punch
I got Hulk to lord and wanted to pick up a second tank to play so I started playing Cap after watching your videos. Already gotten mvp a few times (in QP.) Thanks for the guide!
thanks for the guide, learned some things i didnt know, also i wanted to share a little tip i dont think i herd you go over it but its been huge for me, but doing super jump into dash lets you shield in air has helped me in some sticky spots for sure, also for the hold to dash turned off you can just hold w down and tap fire seems to be easier to time for me at least
I think Cap should have unlimited shield tosses while in his Ult state. It's honestly the buff he deserves. Also, surprised he doesn't have a team up with Storm to make his shield infused with lighting as well (adding melee damage).
What I’ve learned while playing cap is how much you learn how hesitant your team is to push an objective, especially when I have three people chasing me at once
For cancel animation what works for me when i play with toggle sprint is to hold down the left click until the shield hits (you can rely on the sound) and immediately release it and press it again, so I can cancel the animation both up close and far (all this while you are running with the w)
Bro I've literally been using Captain America this way since launch. I always tell my buddies like once everybody really understands how to use him, he will be top 3 vanguard for sure. Being able to be so mobile and able to get out of danger quick is big and his movement is comparable to what a lot of people like in other competitive games with the constant fast and quick movement.
I just tried this, it works! Tap mouse1 (press and release) while holding W+Shift and it attacks faster for the four throws. From what I can tell, if you hold down the button, Cap will wait the full duration for the shield to go out to full distance and return. If you use any of the cancels, the shield actually has a shorter max travel distance before returning. However if you're at melee hugging range, you don't care about the distance/range anyway, you just want the faster attack speed... bonkbonkbonkbonk
The fact that peni is caps counter yet I as cap am being ordered to kill the mine spawner will never get old, I do it, but it shouldn't Soley be my job 😂
That was a great video you got yourself a new subscriber I been waiting for this guide on my fav hero cap i just have 1 question i play on ps5 and i cant get animation cancel to come out is there any tips you can give me and thank you
at lord cap on play station and i think since i played him i figured the animation cancel thing without realizing it thought i was crazy 😂 thank u for this vid man i don’t see a lot good capp players around 😂
cap is super fun to play the only thing is they gotta fix some of the bugs and interactions with his shield and maybe give him abit lower cooldowns or being able to actually aim your dash to go up aswell no just forward
I think the guide was good on a basic level but disappointing on a player level. I think a lot of us want to know more what goes on in your head when you’re playing. There’s a lot of things you do game to game and strategies that I’m sure you either left out or gate kept to an extent.
10:16 wtf i always wanted the practice range to be able to control the bots to move and whatnot and with ur video i just realized that it actually exists, I just never found it lmao
Well did not know that Cap's ult could give allies shield I thought it would give heals so long as they stay in the Flag trail. Still really helpful on the animation cancel still can't get right especially on moving targets and I prefer using hold to dash so might try toggle dash instead.
Fucking knew that Cap's shield was bugged. Didn't see anyone else talking about it, I thought I was crazy. But have multiple clips where I get like gamma exiled through the shield, or luna froze. Thank you. Will be aware of not backing up till that gets patched.
that dam walking back bug, no wonder ive died when i know i have enough shield wtf, toggle to sprint and having it always on is so much easier than getting carpel tunnel holding down the shift
I felt Drawn to him when Playing. he is really fun, love his combat, diving back-lines harassing . and no one really picked him so i can always grab him.
Ok i have a question. If you get the shield throw buff after the two hits can you do melee? And also can you do damage to tanks when their shield is up?
Sadly, it's no to both. When you have shield charges you can't quick melee to use his regular punches, and shield throws damage enemy shields but don't pass through shields - only his regular fists do.
Amazing guide,I love captain america there was a game were I lost but made the enemy support dm me after the game just to show how angry they were kkkk, i had no idea about the bug with the shield, I died to a inivisible woman because of it and had no idea why, i thoght she hit my feet kkkkk,
there is much more simple way to animation cancel. just set up your sprint to not to hold to sprint. and them you just hold w and dont hold your left click but just click it. animation will cancel in moment you will not hold a mouse. animation then will as long as you hold mouse. With right timing this is much more simple way to animation cancel
@tslayerx6469 it is for me as well. it’s one thing to do it in the range but another to do it in game. but i also don’t have 50 hours on Cap yet so i i know i still need to get the muscle memory down.
Im having trouble running around the enemy while animation canceling, I can do it in a straight line but whenever I used A or D on the keyboard it messes up the animation cancel
50 hours on Cap and I never noticed the team up movement speed buff was permanant and not tied to hitting C. Goes to show how little it gets used sadly :(
In game, do you have any advice on when I should be using my shield to run in? I'm a bit confused if I should just run straight at them with my shield out, but if I do then my shield hp depletes by the time I'm in there. I'm hoping for some clarity on how/when to use my shield while running.
03:00
THANK YOU FOR SHARING THAT! I was always wondering why I kept getting KO'd with my shield up!
same. so cap can’t use his shield while sprint jumping, it has a 1 sec cooldown, and you can’t use it to retreat.
tough being a Cap main. 😂
Spidey pulled me off the map while I was shielding. Glad I know how it works now
Wow I keep Thinking how the hell did my shield break so fast
Huge tip for invisible woman: if she uses her jump to go invis you can ricochet your vibraniun saw off a wall or the ground to hit her and reveal her
I actually learned about this after I made the guide. It also works with loki as well
Yeah, it works with every invisible character
Whoa so you can counter invisibility with the E?
That's super good info, thanks guys.
@@JapaneseCurry2 it also works on psylocke!
@@JapaneseCurry2 I make it a habit that if I'm diving Sue, Loki, Psylocke, or Cloak and Dagger I save my shield throw til after they use their getaway
Now remember, BAN CAPTAIN AMERICA anytime you see "JapaneseCurry" in game! Free win!
Oh cool, I can name myself NotJapaneseCurry in order to bait the enemy team into banning Captain America, while I play something else.
Big win 👍🏻👍🏻
Peak name change
NO BAN STORM!

I hope they fix that bug, it's pretty game breaking actually.
The walking backwards one?
Hope they fix it.

@desgildanphi8825 For Real once on the spiderman map held that back room with 3 on me for like almost 40 seconds ans my team did fuckall
Being a cap main feels good. Just love to see others enjoying the character despite people saying how bad he is
He's a bit better now after the buff, but still needs a few more cool down and damage buffs.
@@Seahawkfan1108his shield cooldown needs to be completely removed
@Seahawkfan1108 he does fine in both. Adding more damage to a tank who's purpose is support and to peel doesnt really make much sense imo
Awesome video and just wanted to say thank you. My team always needed that second vanguard and thanks to you I’ve really become a solid cap over the past two weeks. Not just things in the video but your gameplay has also helped me time things up. My blocking and damage went way up. Ability to create space went way up.

Nice guide! One more tip... cap shield is a hard counter to punishers turret. Shield up in front of his turret to ricochet and destroy it.
The long awaited, tysm for us Capt mains, I had no idea the shield was glitched with projectiles. Love the vids and guide. Lets dance !
what the fuck is a kilometre!!! 🦅🇺🇸
You spelled that like a European lol
It's the metric system, the same thing you measure your ammo with. 🏫
Sixty-two one-hundredths of a mile (I think that's how Americans say it lol)
I still believe Captain America's job is to counter ranged DPS (Punisher, Winter Soldier, Moon Knight, Black Widow, Hela, Hawkeye, etc.)
Thank You! This is pretty much what I've been doing which is reassuring - I think I just need to make overall better decisions like not getting greedy and chasing people or rushing back to help my team only to end up staggered in respawns.

the life of playing cap is being flamed by your stat sheet, but cap aint no stat hero. making plays isnt in the stats! C A P G A N G !
I saw you on Tim stream, I hope I can improve on Cap thanks for the guide man!
Oh well i feel pretty good i learned kind of everything you covered by the time i got lord on capt, love the character and i love the games u post. Keep it up!

This character gameplay just stands out the most to me in this game I love it. Appreciate the lesson🙏🏾
I got Hulk to lord and wanted to pick up a second tank to play so I started playing Cap after watching your videos. Already gotten mvp a few times (in QP.) Thanks for the guide!

That was a great video you got yourself a new subscriber I been waiting for this guide on my fav hero cap i just have 1 question i play on ps5 and i cant get animation cancel to come out is there any tips you can give me and thank you
Thank you. Been a cap lord and have over 60 hours with him but couldn't get passed diamond 1. This should help a lot.
Amazing guide! I love the strategies part especially, and the key matchups! Any tips for controller users for Cap?
Finally! Thank you!
As a captain America main, this is godly. I love the details
Watching your Cap gameplay has been my favorite thing in this game not gonna lie
Just hit diamond 2 as a cap main didnt know about the bug or animation cancel thank you for info! Gonna try to hit GM with it
Thankyou brother!
Thanks man!
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
at lord cap on play station and i think since i played him i figured the animation cancel thing without realizing it thought i was crazy 😂 thank u for this vid man i don’t see a lot good capp players around 😂
The cap goat thanks for the guide!!
Thankgod i needed this, the doing a zero to hero series using cap
Gong from bronze to plat 3❤
Singlehandedly made me become a cap main from your vids (and also because all my friends main strategist/dps)
Let’s go!! I can’t stand playing Vanguard but I actually enjoy Cap and can’t wait to learn the ways.
Wow I thought i was disconnecting didn't know about the walking backwards with shield bug. That makes sense now, I'll to be more aware.
cap is super fun to play the only thing is they gotta fix some of the bugs and interactions with his shield and maybe give him abit lower cooldowns or being able to actually aim your dash to go up aswell no just forward
What about a mirror match?
I choose to ignore cap until he dives my team
Many Thanks for the guide. Hopefully I can climb out of Gold 3 now with my Cap!
Thank you! - Alex

IT'S FINALLY HERE
Dope guide, anything specific to consider when solo tanking with Cap?
Captain America is so fun to main. If Peni Parker wasn’t in this game he’d be way more of a problem that he can be.
love bouncing his shield at the wall or floor, when I hear footsteps to tag invisible woman when she is Invisible.
nice bro, thank you.
As a dr strange player thanks for this captain America guide!!!
I’ve got one about 42 hrs on cap and one thing I’ve seen a lot of caps on the opposite team do is backup when taking damage way too much
10:16 wtf i always wanted the practice range to be able to control the bots to move and whatnot and with ur video i just realized that it actually exists, I just never found it lmao
hey, great guide! could you also address how to solo tank as cap?
Well did not know that Cap's ult could give allies shield I thought it would give heals so long as they stay in the Flag trail. Still really helpful on the animation cancel still can't get right especially on moving targets and I prefer using hold to dash so might try toggle dash instead.

Hi, wonderful guide. Curious if you think Captain America functions well as a solo tank?

@@JapaneseCurry2 😓 let's make a letter
Fun fact: Cap can deflect an enemy Jeff's health bubble and turn it into a health bubble for you or your team!

With right timing this is much more simple way to animation cancel
yup. treat the shield as a semi automatic and not full auto. 😂
idk, i still find it difficult to hit them
@tslayerx6469 it is for me as well. it’s one thing to do it in the range but another to do it in game. but i also don’t have 50 hours on Cap yet so i i know i still need to get the muscle memory down.
W video thank you
Yessir its here! How does the Cap buff feel for you so far?
Great!
Is there another vanguard hero you recommend for a captain america main to help round out our hero pool?
Im having trouble running around the enemy while animation canceling, I can do it in a straight line but whenever I used A or D on the keyboard it messes up the animation cancel
Do you wait for the other tank to engage or do you start the fights? Because sometimes i get CC or focus by the enemy if i start.
Is the animation cancel capable on controller?
Time to take notes people
So like what does cap do if they go 3 supports
Most you can do is bully them away from the fight but its really hard to play against 3 supports
@@JapaneseCurry2 thx
What’s your dps?
Clutch 🔥
our spongebob cap goat
All of Captain America's cooldowns should all reset when he ults do you agree?
In general you should only pick captain if you like getting pulped. Not all characters can be good and captain doesn't need to be.
Is it possible to do the animation cancel on console because I’m really struggling to do it
50 hours on Cap and I never noticed the team up movement speed buff was permanant and not tied to hitting C. Goes to show how little it gets used sadly :(
Ima be the next number 1 Cap.
Does living legend go on a faster cooldown if you tap it again to end instead of letting go?
It will always be 1s unless destroyed
Captain America is like being a might spec’d ice tank in arena PvP on DCUO. I love the playstyle. Just being a nuisance.
In game, do you have any advice on when I should be using my shield to run in? I'm a bit confused if I should just run straight at them with my shield out, but if I do then my shield hp depletes by the time I'm in there. I'm hoping for some clarity on how/when to use my shield while running.
