To get straight to the point, the surest way to keep Marvel Rivals ultimate combos is to leave a tool running that records the whole match automatically.
The in-game highlight feature is decent too, but because combos end in an instant in a hero shooter, it's hard to time a hotkey press by hand every single time. In this article, we lay out everything step by step, from the game's own feature to auto-recording.
Why Marvel Rivals highlights are tricky
Marvel Rivals is a game where several ultimates overlap within 1 to 2 seconds to end a teamfight. When Invisible Woman's burst, Iron Man's area attack, and a support's ultimate go off at once, the screen gets flashy, but by the time you try to rewatch that moment, you've usually already moved on to the next teamfight.
This flow will feel familiar to anyone who's played Overwatch. The decisive moment lasts a few seconds at most, and whether you capture that brief moment as a clip determines the quality of your content and your review.
Method 1. Use the in-game highlight feature
Marvel Rivals offers its own highlight feature. When an impressive play happens during a match, it automatically captures the recent moment, and you can rewatch it from the menu. Check it in this order.
- Click the profile icon in the top-right of the main menu.
- Go into the Career menu and open the Favorites or Highlights tab.
- Check the auto-saved recent highlights (usually around 5).
- On PC, you can find the video file path under the saved highlights tab.
The save location is usually the Marvel Rivals / Highlights path inside the Videos folder. For example, it's created in the form C:\Users\YourUsername\Videos\Marvel Rivals\Highlights. Find the file here, open it in an editor, and cut out just the segment you need.
Method 2. Record manually with a hotkey
Using the instant-clip hotkey of an external recording tool, you can go back and save a moment that just happened. It usually rewinds and cuts anywhere from the last 15 seconds up to several minutes, so even just one key press right after a combo pops keeps that moment.
The catch is that this method requires your hand every time. When you're focused on a teamfight, it's easy to forget to press the hotkey exactly when a great moment happens. That's why we recommend using it together with a tool that records the whole match automatically.
Method 3. Auto-record with DOR and save ultimate combo clips
Ultimate combos in Marvel Rivals end in an instant, and DOR records the whole match automatically, so pressing F8 saves the last 30 seconds as a clip. Even if you press it after the combo ends, the moment is kept intact, and anything you didn't press for can be cut from the recording after the match.
It's simple to use. Install DOR and launch Marvel Rivals, and DOR auto-recognizes the game and records the whole match in the background. During play, press F8 to keep great moments as clips right away, and when the game ends, just pick out and trim the combo segments from the recording.
- Install DOR and leave it running.
- Boot up and play Marvel Rivals as usual. DOR auto-detects the game.
- Press F8 right after a teamfight or ultimate combo and the last 30 seconds are saved as a clip.
- After the match, pick the moments you like from your saved clips and the recording, then save or share them.
Which method should you choose?
If you only need to keep a scene or two now and then, the in-game highlight feature is plenty. But if you want to keep every ultimate combo in every match, or you steadily collect clips for video content or reviews, DOR's auto-recording and F8 clips save you a lot of time. With the whole match on record, the pressure of hotkey timing goes away.
To sum up, just leave DOR running and play as usual. Press F8 once when a combo pops, cut anything you missed from the recording after the match, and your highlight clips are ready.
