So if strange has a projectile counter super and most of his moves are projectiles, what would happen in a mirror match? A crapton of rushdown?

nothing i’ve seen from strange looks OP enough to balance 800k health (if in fact that’s what he will have)

I don’t want our good Doctor to be OP. I want him to be a hard-to-use beast that’ll take time and skill to work. Perhaps require more precision/placement. This game’s way too easy as-is, so some play-style variance would be nice.

I forgot, but does VJ’s bomb assist hit your own characters too? If it does, I wonder if it would be possible to setup some outlandish combo that has Strange hitting himself with that assist to fire off the beam super…

Obviously this is 100 percent speculation, but he does look like a hard to play character, yes he has a shit ton of tools, but they all look like they will require work to use, from his prisms, to the giant gold orb, to the fact that he seems to do very little damage and most probably has very low health. The closest thing to a brain dead move he has seems to be that blue projectile thingy. While I won’t be surprised if he becomes a popular character, I will be very very surprised if dr strange is easy mode.

@Planche: Yes joes bombs hits your character(at least it did in vanilla), and now that you mention it that would be a pretty cool looking combo.

All the hype will be on the next 2 characters once they come out, then the next 2, then the next two.

Right now everyone is maining Strange, then everyone will be maining Rocket Racoon, then Iron Fist, then Nova blah blah blah. Same with Capcom side.

lol so true, remember last month when firebrand was the new wolverine? Now strange is the new phoenix/magneto and I guess Iron fist will be the next wesker or something.

Viewtiful Joe’s Shocking Pink assist can hit both characters, yes.

:eek: I guess people can’t help it in a way because most naturally seek the comfort of familiarity.

I truly hope Doctor Strange is on that Viper level of ā€œsilly players you have no idea what you’re getting intoā€ playstyle and mechanics. I want to have to choose between lab time with Strange and doing something much more enjoyable and having a hard time making the decision.

Yea its ridiculous how much of a fuss high school level marketing can cause around here.

Here’s to calling RR and Wright will be the last two announced characters; really fuel the hype train before launch.

Only character to overshadow Strange will be Dante’s twin.

Being hard to use doesn’t keep a character from being OP. Most of the OP characters in fighting games are hard to use. It’s just new games make characters baby mode easy to play so you get people as easy as Wolverine being one of the best when realistically in most fighting games that usually never happens. Characters with the most tools and BS shit are the best regardless of how easy/hard they are to use. I feel there’s at least 3 or 4 characters that are better than Wolvie outside of Phoenix but of course Wolverine is just so easy to play that people just figure to stick with Wolvie with only 4 or 5 months into the game.

Being an older fighting gamer I’m not used to this sugar coating of OP or top tier characters with ā€œbeing hard to useā€. Most of the best ones required a lot of work but they fucked you up and you didn’t exactly feel awesome when you got fucked up just because they fucked you up really pretty. You still got fucked up by some shit that was clearly better and had more incentive to win than what you were using.

Does strange have 8way?

As near as I can tell, the Red Glyphs explode when they have a Faltine Flame passes through them, while the Yellow Glyphs build up to a Crumple Beam when it is the last one in the chain. I think?

Fixed because thats how Strange pronounces his level 3 and how it’s pronouce in comics. Has anybody ever wonder if Strange is vulnerable when he whiffs his level 3? In the comics, when Strange uses astral magic his physical body is left vulnerable to physical attacks. So I’d imagine if the Astral projection of Strange is blocked or whiffed, he will be unsafe.

Only seen flight so far. No 8 way. Haven’t seen any air dash at all from him yet.

No air dash is a pretty big deal too

I really wish silver surfer and namor were in this game so we can have the og defenders.

I still demand blade in this game, i mean we can put doom as the alchemist and we get the triad.

I really want a sanctum santorum stage
