My unworthy opponent. Iceman and Omega Red Guru your so called Cable killers. Posted by tab on 05:19:2001 05:36 PM: iceman will destroy omega red any day in mvc2 Posted by Mr. SmArTy on 05:19:2001 06:11 PM: Omega Red has a chance if played right using coils and strikes. Posted by Kao_ Ryuu on 05:19:2001 07:24 PM: omega red wins this bout. iceboy has to keep an opponent grounded for chip, but Omega Red has an infinite air dash and can stay away from iceboy through out the whole match. Posted by Yang Lee on 05:19:2001 11:14 PM: Omega Red all the way! Posted by Dynamyte2U on 05:19:2001 11:54 PM: Iceman has the advantage in this matchup, but not by much. Posted by TS on 05:20:2001 03:03 AM: OR wins this one. He stays on Iceman's ass and chips him with a Doom assist (while building a crazy amount of meter BTW), or just runs away. Posted by TS on 05:20:2001 03:04 AM: ...or were you not talking about a match with them vs each other? Posted by Naslectronical on 05:20:2001 03:18 AM: Omega Red wins this one pretty easily. He's got so many more tools than Iceman. Omega strikes jumping fierce has so much priority coils infinite airdashes omega strikes XX coils builds up insane meter Iceman can only really play keepaway on Omega. Omega owns him in rush down. The only thing Iceman has going for him is the no block damage thing, and that doesn't matter in this match because Omega red isn't known for dealing out block damage anyways.

Iceman doesn't even have that, really. There's some vid over at Clockw0rk.com that displays Omega/Doom/Somebody vs some other team...I think Clock is the one playing OR.

I'm about to go to realplayer.com to see what the problem is. Posted by Yang Lee on 05:20:2001 04:50 AM: Don't you have to pay for new versions of programs like RealPlayer?

It's $29.99 for the latest version, RealPlayer 8 Plus. Posted by Mirai_Trunks on 05:20:2001 05:11 AM: quote: Originally posted by Dynamyte2U Iceman has the advantage in this matchup, but not by much. I agree to an exstent ... since it depends on the person controlling the characters , the match up can go either way ... Posted by TS on 05:20:2001 08:26 AM: Don't know what to tell you...I use Windows Media Player. There are a few codec sites I found...and even outside of that, I upgraded to WMP7. So all of that ASF/WMV crap plays fine on my PC. Posted by Aoishi2AL on 05:20:2001 03:04 PM: Why has Rahsaan avoided my post? Well anyways get Windows media player, it's the best and not everything runs on quicktime. Posted by jedirobb on 05:20:2001 04:27 PM: hopefully they found a way to permantly ban rass ass.. and thats why he isnt posting - that dam lil #@$)! and omega red can be a badass - more avenues to attack etc.. so id have to say omg takes iceman out - sooo does that mean iceman goes a notch or two down on the tiers ? ha ha ha anyways - robb = ) Posted by Scrub-X on 05:20:2001 06:45 PM: ice man would own omega red Posted by Aoishi2AL on 05:21:2001 12:50 AM: Hmmm...Why doesn't Rahsaan post? Well anyways they both suck and die to Cable. Posted by Jaze on 05:21:2001 01:17 AM: iceman would destroy omega red, no questions asked.

Some of you really need to try stuff out for yourselves instead of having people tell you what characters/strats are good or not. - Clockw0rk Posted by Aoishi2AL on 05:21:2001 01:43 PM: quote: Originally posted by Clockw0rk Bleh.

Iceman vs. my Cable, I jump back shooting fp's, calling Bh assist, throwing grenades, if he throws icebeam I do a normal ahvb and then the world is over. I don't know about Omega though, but I still think the favor of the battle is with Cable and an assist. Posted by Mulliggan on 05:21:2001 03:11 PM: If u gonna post so and so and kick his ass u may wanna add why, anyway 1 on 1 i would think iceman would win due to his standing RH ( this is a theory BTW but seems logical) I have never seen this match up b4 but i would think that standing RH would stop OR's omega strike( not sure if its called that, But im talking bout the move where he flies across the screen feet first) and if u dash backwards and S. RH would stop his J.fp and tack on a icebeam. What do u mean by infinite airdash BTW?? if you add assists to this tho OR will have the advantage Posted by Kuroi Kaze on 05:23:2001 04:04 AM: Ok..well Omega Red does have a lot of mobility, but let's not forget his relative speed loss in the face of iceman. Now let's say we're in some magic world where the call-in's aren't going dramatically impact this battle (which they would in real gameplay). Omega's primary avenue of attack is not rushdown tactics but a calculating landing of the coils in or out of combos. Now something to think about is that his main coil attack angles are also the same ones Iceman uses for his icebeams and the beams beat out the coils anyday. So Omega's work is cut out for him trying to get directly above iceman to do a straight down coil or he's going to have to rush a lot attempting to keep iceman down to stop iceman's massive chipping game. Another things to remember is that Omega's supers are ultra useless 90% of the time since they posses a unbelievable startup time. If iceman does rushdown at least he can link an aircombo right into the artic attack for a large chunk of red's life. Omega's Omega strike is really not going to serve him well in this matchup as Iceman's beam is really going to prove hard to get around. Iceman's main strategy has going to be keeping OR ground-bourne by SJ'ing a lot and making with plenty of horizontal and diagonal Icebeams. Assuming both players are equally skilled Omega Red doesn't really have a great chance of penetrating all of Iceman's defences without catching a launcher or icebeam in return. Add some strong helpers into both people's equations and this wouldn't necessarily be so. Posted by Lord Doom on 05:23:2001 04:23 AM: Omega Red should win this one. His C. RH/Omega Strike should beat him on its own. Throw in Strider/Doom and have Omega Red build level for them and Iceman should die hands down. Posted by GeoG2 on 05:23:2001 04:24 AM: O.R ownz Iceman. Dammit..somebody bump my old "Omega Red's flaws" thread if it's still on a page...that thread more than proved why. Posted by Lord Doom on 05:23:2001 04:26 AM: I think Omega Red has him one-on-one anyways. His J. FP has mega priority, his launcher is fast, he can chip Iceman away, has infinite air dashes, can block during an airdash, and his jab is super fast. Posted by GeoG2 on 05:23:2001 04:29 AM: Nooooooo......it's gone. It should have been archived or something. Every new Omega Red player could have learned a few things. All times are GMT.
