imo that is overall the best support shell you can have, provided your point char doesn’t need specific assists for combo extension. Doom for infinites to solve any damage or meter problems, Dante anchor, or Dante second to double jump out of welcome mixups then safe DHC to Doom.
Doom likes the lockdown and opposite side SJ height control of jam session. He can play sooooo lame with jam session behind him. Dante is making a comeback at the high level (imo) so you’ll start seeing this pop up more often I think. Hopefully with really unusual point chars in front - something like strange/doom/dante or sentinel/doom/dante
My 2 cents for doom/dante. It’s not doom’s best or assist or anything close to it, but if you just really want to play dante it’s not that bad. Gaurantees an incoming mix up, which is strong for doom already, but if they pushblock it’s a free air throw, if not you get the free 33% between low, high or air throw on the ground. If they escape that there’s not much they can do to get out of the corner, since if they super jump you can just call the damned thing again. In the corner it’s might powerful for any character that has an easy time converting off of a hit that high (FOOT DIVE) and Doom is no exception.
Outside of corner it’s pretty lack luster and I don’t call it for fear of it getting sniped by an assist or super. On the flip side, with two bars you can safely snipe any of their assists with THC, and since dante loves to party for much longer then anyone else, you’ll probably get them either in block stun or in the bullets as well. It’s no Doom/Ammy THC, since bullets don’t hit everywhere, but it’s something. I prefer doom/dante over dante/doom. Dante just doesn’t have the damage… RIP in piece.
Yeah, I don’t make a game plan around it. For the most part I keep in dante with missiles for the silliness/combo extensions. And any hit can easily corner carry for spear flame (spirit flame?) which kills pretty much everyone and puts you in the corner, allowing for that set up to be gauranteed. If they get out of the corner I usually try and just DHC dante back in, since my Doom is ass.
Amending my list of characters I don’t like playing against when I use point Vergil:
Hulk
New edition - Wolverine
I must have never played a good Wolvie because I almost lost a monthly here because of that tiny man.
I’m always confident in that first 5-8 second gamble, against him I was honestly like wtf is going on - i need some space and get him away from me.
I also had no idea his cr. L can duck Vergil’s st. L.
I need better wolvie experience.
His c.L ducked under Tron’s assist in Vanilla and can duck under Viper’s EX knuckle and Strange’s L sword. It still makes his hittable box way too small.
Yeah it really surprised me, cause I don’t think st. L has ever whiffed on a char right in front of me lol.
But yeah need to play some more Wolvie, Dorm, Ammy, Viper, and i guess Thor :rolleyes: too, so I can have exp playing everyone.
I don’t think playing more Hulks with ever change with how ham he can go.
As a point vergil, I’ll say this about Hulk. That match up is much easier if you have a good assist behind you and if they don’t have drones. If they have drones I really just start the match with swords, I don’t wanna fuck with it.
Otherwise, wait till they jump, call assist, 5h, teleport. They don’t have super armor when they’re in the air, so that’s when I just go ham with the normals. When they’re on the ground I just block. And if they do gamma charge and do the back one, you can stinger punish. If they do the other one, just block and wait for the super and possible DHC. Hulk is def annoying, but you shouldn’t lose to him.
Wolverine, I agree with you though. The zero match up is also rough, especially if they have Jam session. Having your brother in the back with the guitar evens it a little bit, but not much. The worst part is that zero is on your ass so hard that you can’t get swords out at the start of the round.
Okay, so we got:

Holy shit, that makes a total of 7 trolls I can remember. I’m going to need a MUCH bigger cage for my inevitable “Rage in the Cage” troll fight. 7 posters go in, and only one leaves as a seemingly sane human being. I probably grind the losers into McRibs or something as a sacrifice for Mr.Wizard to make him hurry up and get a better server already. What could possibly go wrong?
Doom/Vergil is very strong, but Dark Vergil is kind of overrated. People will eventually figure him out like the figured out Dark S.Skrull (in other words, not gonna happen)
I don’t play frank, so maybe someone can answer this for me. Why does no one use the frank tac infinite? I would imagine it’s nice for getting a free level 5 and does more than the current tac bnb. I remember wong saying on twitter that it was really easy.
Wolverine has taken Thors leadership in the anti MorriDoom movement. Doom a good #2 over Strange since he has amazing movement and good matchups vs the other good characters (Zero, Morrigan, Magneto) and Texas said so.
