MvC3: DHC Trick 02 - Throw Starters!
The DHC Trick - Damage & Hit-Stun Scaling Reset
:: Overview ::
The DHC Trick is a technique that gets you a complete reset of damage scaling and a partial (it seems) reset of hit-stun scaling.
:: The DHC Trick - Execution ::
- Steps -
1) During the round, you must hit the opponent with any physical hit at least once before this trick can become active. This does NOT have to be a part of a combo. Also, this hit can be in the combo that utilizes the DHC trick as long as it comes BEFORE the "captured/grabbed" state (see Step 2).
2) Activate a DHC while the opponent is in a "captured/grabbed" state. This includes most cinematic hyper-combos, Magneto's Hyper Grav, and certain level 1 grab hyper-combos, and some throws/counters.
3) The DHC (from Step 2) graphics/effects must finish without any attack hitting the opponent (there are some exceptions).
This means that power-up DHCs are the most obvious for the trick because you can simply DHC into them and when the graphics/effects, you are in control of your character.
If the DHC Trick is performed properly, the opponent will pop out of the "captured/grabbed" state into an untechable "spin" animation. The next hit will cause damage to be reset (and a partial reset of hit-stun).
- Summary -
So basically... you can hit the opponent (unblocked) with a stand L, wait for 30 seconds, and then do the aforementioned trick and it will work 100% of the time (in my tests... so far this is accurate - there may be a way to reset the state so you must hit them again).
- Notes -
If you reset the training mode state, it clears the "physical hit" and you must strike them again before the trick will work again. If you start a new round, it also clears the "physical hit".
Physical hits count as any strikes, projectiles, and Crossover Attacks (tag ins).
Important Note: If a new opponent comes in (if you've killed the point character or they tag out) you must score a physical hit on that character as well.
Also, this trick can be done with any DHC that can be X-Factor'ed BEFORE it hits (thus making it a DHC that does not "physically" hit). This nets you both the XF damage and the damage reset.

Note: Does not work with Spider-Man's Maximum Spider. I tested every imaginable set-up (with assist OTG, after web-throw, after bounce, after slamdown, cancelling different hits of Maximum Spider... etc).
Extra special thanks to James "jchensor" Chen for being instrumental in helping to hone in on this technique.
