Dr. Strange seriously reminds me of Mu-12
Except without the traps firing on their own when placed. Though he can detonate and reflect fireballs off them in the trailers. I could see people teleporting randomly trying to get the opponent to block the wrong way so you get a crumple and free combo after. Or just to set up more traps though they have a lot of startup.
For anybody that played BBCS, doesn’t Strange kind of seems like Mu-12?
EDIT: Calcal posted the exact same thing 3 minutes ago, awkward.
So what phrases is Dr. Strange going create during commentary?
“READ A MOTHERFUCKIN BOOK”
“CONNECT THE DOTS NIGGA”
“YO HE JUST TIGHT HE LOST TO STRANGE’S TIGHTS”
“TIM BURTON ALL UP IN THIS BITCH”
I’m curious as to how good of a zoner he’ll be. He looks intimidating but the projectiles look rather weak (durability wise). I’m also going to assume that the more dots / balls that projectile goes through before hitting your opponent, the harder it hits. The amount of crumple on Dante after that one match was rather nuts.
:looney:
Dr. Strange for god tier, those sexy man legs make all potential matchups 9-1 strange.
10-0 if we get a pink/purple alternates.
I think his zoning will rely entirely on momentum. His traps require setting up, the gold rings seem to have more startup than say Liberation, and as you pointed out, his projectile has little durabilty despite it’s speed and utility as a way to mixup with teleports. Other than his projectile counter super and quick teleport, we don’t know anything about his defensive options yet either.
What I’m hoping for is Dr. Strange to be one of those momentum powerhouses where the matchup completely relies on keeping him from getting his game going, and he’s relying on keeping his game going. Wheather he becomes a trap, zoner, or rushdown, this is what I hope he plays like.
This guy looks manageable tbh. Two of his projectiles are quick but Bolts of Ballsack makes him fire two shots which means he’s going to have to be careful when he uses them unless he wants to die. If anyone thinks people are just gonna let him set up satelites like it’s free needs to play some Dorm and try to do the same with Dark Spells. He has a good answer to people trying to random him out with projectile hypers though, so he probably won’t have to worry on that front.
If he doesn’t have an airdash…then, I dunno. He’s not god tier though, hype down.
There was way more silly bullshit that was terrible speculation, remember this…
“Hsien-Ko is going to be OP, Gong assist will be a top 5 assist, like Psylocke or Doom Rocks was in Marvel 2"
“MODOK is broken”
'Phoenix is the new Roll tier.”
People were honestly saying these things, like a lot of people. Am I the only one who remembers?
By far the most interesting character released so far imo.
I’m hoping to run Iron Fist, x (maybe Ryu or Captain), Strange… But that’s just my dream.
At 30 seconds into the video he detonates the trap causing a hit then it fires a projectile after. So maybe the reds one placed detonate then track towards the opponent while the yellow just reflect off each other. I could be mistaken on the whole thing though I am curious could you set up six in total or is it like Dormammu where you can only stock up to three charges at once.
Ok about the Grace of Hoggoth move or satellites as you called them would have the same problem dorm has in vanilla with dark spells if you could not do them in the air or if his teleport wasnt dumb fast. However you can do them in the air and his teleport is pretty dumb fast. Also I cannot wait to do some purifications and dark spells in the air with Dorm seeing as that is the one buff i know he got. It should help his game tremendously. The second part I completely agree with. If he does not have an airdash it wont break him but it will hinder his overall potential.
just to highlight this, in one of his videos, where he does level three to strider, strider gets cumpled before the level 3 without the use of the fireball
some one asked about anti-airs…I noticed in that same video in the beginning, he does a crouching slash that hits directly above his head
edit: in the vs. dante clip, the point that some one was trying to make is that dante turned around after being hit from the beam and crumpled toward the beam instead of toward Strange. HOWEVER, dante was actually dashing, so he wasn’t blocking either way
Well he definitely has flight and well there isn’t anybody in the game who has flight that doesn’t have at least a 2 way air dash like Dante. His strong projectile and teleport options may have considered Capcom to make him the first projectile/flight based character that doesn’t have an air dash but…nothing confirmed yet.
Sentinel.
Actually yeah I forgot about that for some reason, but the thing is you will still be vunerable to air attacks and throws since you’re not actually attacking with anything. It will definitely be safer to set them up in the air though, especially when paired with assists.
Sentinel with air dash…yeah I can see why he doesn’t have one.
I dont get why some of you are saying capcom should unnerf phoenix in order to deal with Strange. Why would you want to deal with the old Phoenix and Dr. Strange on the same team? I dont even want to think about how annoying that would be.
Sentinel does have an air dash, it’s a 3 way air dash.

Just kidding of course.
I am one of the people who picked Phoenix on Day 1 and I genuinely liked the character. I dont ever sit on meter waiting on DP because it severely handicaps your team. The Masses are being punished because of the few. I can not believe every phoenix player just runs and tosses balls at you all. I play a mean ass rush down in your face oops i teleported above you dove down then over head dive kicked that ass to open you up jean. Oh wait thats a combo lets do one and end with phoenix rage… See my point? I do not want her un nerfed because of strange. I want her un nerfed because its not fair to those who play her legit. The easiest way to nerf her fairly would have been leave her air actions alone remove some durability from the salty balls and remove ALL feathers and the damage buff from DP. Seriously the one air action and lower health was a straight slap in the face.
if he dose not have a air dash i’ll eat my hat
Another big problem ATM is that he’s very tall for someone of his health, which potentially means a major defense nightmare for Strange players. He’s strong but I seriously do not see anything at the moment that screams broken.
The good Doctors Defensive nightmares are all an “Illusion”. Sorry I could not resist.
