@burrhugh the way that team aerials work is that the next in the bracket will get called, and for the second one is the one in the third slot. so what he did is since ryu is second on his team he was switched out, and because he didn't land the aerial switch, he was able to bounce back up, reseting the aerial team combo, thus making shuma his second slot, thus returning him to battle on the aerial swap.
awesome 8D, i just decided to put shuma in my team and with your video im going to apply some of these combos into my playstyle, thank you for the upload and amazing music your a great artist
this gives new possibilities for the usage of the phrase "tentacle rape". In all seriousness, I love the animation for Shuma-Gorath very smooth. Also that eye is just great.
@Wagjmonosuke he says "your mine! welcome to" but in the PS1 games and MVC2, he said "survive" i beleive course in MVC3 his Chaos Dimension, the grab part has alot more range it seems than the old Shuma form MVSF and MVC2 did
@Natedawg422 well god knows when MVC4 will come out and since Iron Fist, Ghost Rider, and Nightcrawler have appeared in endings it would make sense for them to be DLC
@MrEpikSmileyFace I am actually not sure as to why the bite does that, probably so you can do juggle combos with Mystic smash. Then again, it also gives him a chance to not waste 3 bars if it gets blocked or messes up. Not completely sure.
@LinkWizard91 Shuma has been in the Vs Series since Marvel vs Street Fighter which came out around the same time for PS1 as MVC1, the difference is, Marvel vs Street Fighter only had Capcom characters from Strreet Fighter, but it also had Blackheart :3 bot h HSuma and Blackheart and Venom for that matter form MVC1, all made their first Fighter Vs-series appearance in MSH which basically was the game that STARTED MVC and a bunch of other Vs Series games
He's not as ridiculous as he was in MvC2 (which I miss as I main him), but he is still quite nasty to play with. :D I was so happy to find out he was being added as DLC some months ago. And now I'll work on dominating with him~
@Captnspork - Thanks for the input! I will give her a try in a few matches today. I have been using him with Hsien Ko and Akuma. What would you feel to be a good assist for Shuma? I use Mystic Ray just to push back and catch pesky teleporters and air players. Other than that, I dont feel it has any good use.
@vipergecko03 The best thing about Shuma is the variety of his combo's. You could do a high damage potential combo's in any number of ways so that even if you face the opponent 10 times you're keeping things fresh. I think that's really important as almost every other character on the game has one staple combo that they do over and over again, for instance I play Wolverine + Magneto and all I do is the BnB combo because they don't have many options.
yes, float is one of my favorite CR songs, and the 8 bit is nice. kidna wish you let those chaos dimension enders finish, as his animation blocks the lifebar a bit
Im a late starter to the game and Shuma was easily one of the characters I wanted to learn how to use so bad. I guess I got tired of seeing the staples and wanted someone different and a challenge to use. Ive practiced some of these combos and they help so much in a match. Thanks a lot! If I may ask, who would you pair him with? Currently, I use Shuma/Felicia/Akuma Totally subbing to you right now.
@Captnspork - Chill, pro! Lol. I used Morrigan on and off today along side Shuma. I need more practice with the both of them together as to where when I used Hsien Ko I would just Hyper Armor, switch and rush in with an assist for pressure and confusion to score massive combos and a team aerial to Akuma to end in a hyper.
@burningwolf151 Which one? His stand M is a bite and it's helpful because the hitbox is quite big, so the loops are made easier with it. Stand M to Crouching H is the bread and butter of loop combos.
@lilsed3 actually theres like 4 other characters that were much greater wastes of slots: Sentinel, Magneto, Dr.Doom and especially MODOK we coulda had Blackheart, Venom (considering MVC3 lacks a Spiderman villain), Megaman (though theres a high chance Megaman X will be the 2nd and final Capcom DLC Character) hmmm let me try to think of one more character that deserved it more than those 4 Wasted slots ....aww heck, Amingo for luls >.> theres too many MVC2 characters to choose a total of 4 from
Have you seen any recent play of him? He can do 800k+ in the corner by using one meter and building more than one in the process. He has a super fast overhead if you tiger knee his Mystic Smash and can confirm off of a regular throw and a command grab. Also, if you do a certain combo you can hard tag into Dr. Strange for an Impact Palm loop. Sure, he's still not as good as Vergil or Morrigan, but I honestly think he's way overlooked. If you want to see good Shuma play, look up "Tonosama UMvC3."
@striderm Watch Desk's "Zero Glitch." If you activate Sogenmu, catch the pointman and assist in a combo, and hit the pointman with a snap back (Zero's must whiff, only the shadow's must hit), the enemy pointman will be snapped out and never come back.
also, would any of you advise a Gamepad/Fightpad for MVC3 instead of a PS3 Sixaxis controller? sometimes i have trouble where the game thinks the Shoryuken D-Pad movement (Forward-Down-Down+Forward) is the Hadoken one (Down-Down+Forward-Forward) and it tends to mess up my Hypers a good deal of the time, ive been told that PS3-Compatible Gamepads/Fightpads such as those they sell for Street Fighter 4 are "more accurate" as far as Directional/D-Pad movements, button mapping wouldnt be a problem
@Orlhajoetoe Jill was probably one of the best/most fun low tiers in mvc2. That's why she's there. Shuma I have no idea. There are far more interesting characters either way though, for sure.
That one combo with the mystic ball or whatever its called where he crosses over akuma at :20 is that a character specific cross over is does it hit on crouch too or what?
This was fast! No complaints though, love the Shuma! I have a question, what is the general time to wait for the Mystic Eyes to combo after Devitalisation like in 2:20? Also thanks for letting me know I can combo after Mystic Ray!
This was 10 years ago? Jesus.
Always come back for the music. Thanks, Desk.
Damn, thank you. I have been trying to main Shuma for a while now and this video helps out. Keep up the combo vids. These are great.
Did you main shuma?
@@astolfostrikesback4073 For MvC 3 yeah, still use him even today.
@@shrek187 damn man, nice, so cool to se the community be alive even to this day 👍🏻
music is awesome and so is shuma. sweet combos it's like you have been playing with him longer than hes been out.
I was planning on maining Shuma, so thanks for the ideas!
Everything desk uploads is godlike. Keep up the good work!
Shuma was always my fav :D. Enjoyed the combos! Also the editing Subing now ^_^
I have to say (though not entirely sure why), I feel this music really works for the video
I listen to all your tracks when im in the lab and when i play starcraft 2! good stuff!! keep the tracks(and combo vids) comin!! :)
I know this is going to sound very cliche but by watching all you're vids and practicing them you have made me a great fighter. Thank you very much.
great music, reminds me of that old show "Hill Street Blues" theme song :)
Oh beast vid... as usual!
@burrhugh the way that team aerials work is that the next in the bracket will get called, and for the second one is the one in the third slot. so what he did is since ryu is second on his team he was switched out, and because he didn't land the aerial switch, he was able to bounce back up, reseting the aerial team combo, thus making shuma his second slot, thus returning him to battle on the aerial swap.
all these combos within a day. this is absolutely crazy.
this is amazing, the combos and the music!
I love the music! It fits the character and video perfectly.
Wow the High-Contrast colouring really brings out the texture on Shuma-Gorath man Sepecially on the white/grey one.
Hypoooooo Mystic Rayeeee!!
That's My Boy Shuma Gorath
I can't find this song on sale anymore, any idea where I can find the song
Well i put this video alot just 2 hear shuma's voice combined with the nice tunes...gj man...really good video
awesome 8D, i just decided to put shuma in my team and with your video im going to apply some of these combos into my playstyle, thank you for the upload and amazing music your a great artist
Could anyone please tell me where i can find this music? i love it and hope there's more where this came from.
Oh dear God that Team Aerial Combo trick is beautiful.
That last trish combo made the whole video worth it
Damn I didn't know Mr.Gorath had it like that.
Anywho, You have no Idea how much I love "Float".
And the 8-bit version is killer too.
The very end of the video was nice as well. Congrats!
this gives new possibilities for the usage of the phrase "tentacle rape". In all seriousness, I love the animation for Shuma-Gorath very smooth. Also that eye is just great.
i really like the music to this video.. and nice/impressive video as usual
@CaptCamping You only have to land the button used for grab, merely landing a hit while pushing said button activates Chaos Dimension, no exceptions.
awesome music and awesome combos you just got another subscriber.
At 2:10 The tentacle hits are in sync with the music, awesome
I like how the combo done to Viewtiful Joe was, indeed, Viewtiful.
that is some good ass music. Gj on both the video AND the music
@Wagjmonosuke he says "your mine! welcome to" but in the PS1 games and MVC2, he said "survive" i beleive
course in MVC3 his Chaos Dimension, the grab part has alot more range it seems than the old Shuma form MVSF and MVC2 did
Downloaded the ep, it is fuckin' awesome.
I really like those exchange combo whiffs, good stuff
Great video (and music) as usual.
@Kurt634 yea, its driving me nuts as well
@Natedawg422 well god knows when MVC4 will come out and since Iron Fist, Ghost Rider, and Nightcrawler have appeared in endings it would make sense for them to be DLC
shuma gorath can annilihate groot in 1 second
Why specifically Groot? Shuma-Gorath can single "handedly" wipe out over half the Marvel universe's characters.
Nice! Favorite song off the album too.
@SithLordRagnos I think it says more about the wonders of Desk than the quality of the characters.
wow that music is better than what they have in MVC 3, keep up the good work.
I will buy this music when I get home. Awesome combo video too.
@MrEpikSmileyFace I am actually not sure as to why the bite does that, probably so you can do juggle combos with Mystic smash. Then again, it also gives him a chance to not waste 3 bars if it gets blocked or messes up. Not completely sure.
Holy shit, this is one of the best instrumentals i've ever heard... Fucking GENIUS, hands down.
@Tiamat4 Nope, that's Paul Dobson, who also voices Dr Doom.
@XINKAI That's the new challenger theme from Capcom vs SNK--a remix of the player select theme.
Wasn't interested in Shuma at all before this video. I really want to see your Jill now. :)
@LinkWizard91 Shuma has been in the Vs Series since Marvel vs Street Fighter which came out around the same time for PS1 as MVC1, the difference is, Marvel vs Street Fighter only had Capcom characters from Strreet Fighter, but it also had Blackheart :3
bot h HSuma and Blackheart and Venom for that matter form MVC1, all made their first Fighter Vs-series appearance in MSH which basically was the game that STARTED MVC and a bunch of other Vs Series games
Damn you work fast, great stuff.
@XxkiljoyxX Just one of the most powerful Marvel char.
He's not as ridiculous as he was in MvC2 (which I miss as I main him), but he is still quite nasty to play with. :D I was so happy to find out he was being added as DLC some months ago. And now I'll work on dominating with him~

great combos.really cool music too
@theGravityGunner
In the biography which appears in the game says he is from X-men´s fourth comic
Im a late starter to the game and Shuma was easily one of the characters I wanted to learn how to use so bad. I guess I got tired of seeing the staples and wanted someone different and a challenge to use. Ive practiced some of these combos and they help so much in a match. Thanks a lot!
If I may ask, who would you pair him with? Currently, I use Shuma/Felicia/Akuma
Totally subbing to you right now.
@SHlNOBl3 sometimes they lower the damage output in the settings so the combos dont kill the character too fast
@Captnspork - Chill, pro! Lol. I used Morrigan on and off today along side Shuma. I need more practice with the both of them together as to where when I used Hsien Ko I would just Hyper Armor, switch and rush in with an assist for pressure and confusion to score massive combos and a team aerial to Akuma to end in a hyper.
@biffotasty I don't see where to download it @.@ btw, awesome video and loved the music as well. :D
that's some sick combos
@Wagjmonosuke "Welcome to..."
"You're mine--THE CHAOS DIMENSION!"
Shuma Gorath is just as awesome as I remember
I have been enlightened to the ways of the ancient ones.
you've earned my respect for these awesome combos. mind if i barrow a few?
Most ppl dont know or forgot he was even in Conan the barbarian marvel comics back in the day
stay awesome desk! you and your band
yeaaaaa im deff. seeing some huge loop potential.
@burningwolf151 Which one? His stand M is a bite and it's helpful because the hitbox is quite big, so the loops are made easier with it. Stand M to Crouching H is the bread and butter of loop combos.
@LarenzW Float by Calcius Repton
the music makes it more entertaining and classy. :)
I can't stop watching this video.. It's.. 'Perfect'
Nice combos and music.
May i have the flp. To this soundtrack? great combos
Its pretty hard to do mystic ray in the middle of a combo :/ most of the time i always end up doing the spinning air move :(
@SmashFury Why thank you sir :3
wow those are crazy combos....
subbed btw
@lilsed3 actually theres like 4 other characters that were much greater wastes of slots: Sentinel, Magneto, Dr.Doom and especially MODOK
we coulda had Blackheart, Venom (considering MVC3 lacks a Spiderman villain), Megaman (though theres a high chance Megaman X will be the 2nd and final Capcom DLC Character) hmmm let me try to think of one more character that deserved it more than those 4 Wasted slots ....aww heck, Amingo for luls >.>
theres too many MVC2 characters to choose a total of 4 from
@t4bk3y He is with the old ones if you read the comics.
These videos are the most fun I can have with my clothes on.
anyone know the back ground song? it sounds so fimiliar but i cant put my finger on it. Ugh this is gonna drive me crazy
I like how he turns into a little octopus.
Have you seen any recent play of him? He can do 800k+ in the corner by using one meter and building more than one in the process. He has a super fast overhead if you tiger knee his Mystic Smash and can confirm off of a regular throw and a command grab. Also, if you do a certain combo you can hard tag into Dr. Strange for an Impact Palm loop. Sure, he's still not as good as Vergil or Morrigan, but I honestly think he's way overlooked.
If you want to see good Shuma play, look up "Tonosama UMvC3."
@standdownman
At least from my playtesting the timing for the mystic ray OTG is pretty forgiving.The problem is following it up afterwards.
@striderm
Watch Desk's "Zero Glitch." If you activate Sogenmu, catch the pointman and assist in a combo, and hit the pointman with a snap back (Zero's must whiff, only the shadow's must hit), the enemy pointman will be snapped out and never come back.
what do you mostly use to create your music man? I love it and really would like to get into making music like this. Also Shuma is lookin hot!
also, would any of you advise a Gamepad/Fightpad for MVC3 instead of a PS3 Sixaxis controller? sometimes i have trouble where the game thinks the Shoryuken D-Pad movement (Forward-Down-Down+Forward) is the Hadoken one (Down-Down+Forward-Forward) and it tends to mess up my Hypers a good deal of the time, ive been told that PS3-Compatible Gamepads/Fightpads such as those they sell for Street Fighter 4 are "more accurate" as far as Directional/D-Pad movements, button mapping wouldnt be a problem
@Orlhajoetoe
Jill was probably one of the best/most fun low tiers in mvc2. That's why she's there. Shuma I have no idea. There are far more interesting characters either way though, for sure.
@SithLordRagnos They were released last night >_>
Anyone know if you stull have to download this character and Jill when UMVC3 comes out or will they come with it?
@DoorMattTV sorry, i tend to go by youtube username, but ill keep that in mind for future comments
@biffotasty ah, didnt know you could do that, thanks
im wondering if these combos work in ultimate marvel? since his ground bounce is gone off his j,s
That one combo with the mystic ball or whatever its called where he crosses over akuma at :20 is that a character specific cross over is does it hit on crouch too or what?
@elevate07 Thanks. That makes much more sense now.
awesome stuff dude.. Hey, doesn't this version of Shuma sound like a Dalek from Dr. Who?
This was fast! No complaints though, love the Shuma!
I have a question, what is the general time to wait for the Mystic Eyes to combo after Devitalisation like in 2:20?
Also thanks for letting me know I can combo after Mystic Ray!
What happened at the end of the video? That was a pretty sweet camera angle.
@Suku919 Also he is a bad guy from the comic "Strange Tales" from Dr. Strange
@bs000: Oh, I thought it was just available for the people who preordered at the moment.
