"By the hoary hosts of Hoggoth!" The Doctor Strange Thread!

at around 3:32, watch the effect on Tron as the first bolt hits. looks like a crumple to me. its not the only example, but it was the first one i re-found.

Posting from fightclub: its crowded as shit in here and easily 35-45 min wait for ONE match (both players get off) i can confirm NO air dash :frowning:

Or massive amount of stun. But yeah, either one…that first hit can lead into anything…

Am I only one who doesn’t care if Strange doesn’t have an airdash? Weird, I know…but that teleport looks like it makes up for the doctor.

If it was a crumple, the second hit would knock them into the air, no?

Thats right, his teleport seemed great and def suffices

You have a point there, but conversely, that does not seem like her normal hitstun animation…but then again, we usually don’t see the animations that long. I’ll try dive kicking her with Wolvie and seeing what happens. Either way, amazing. Cant wait to see combos from that.

So no airdash, but how does his ground(ish) dash function? Can it cancel into stuffs? A Doom-like dash would make Strange really awkward.

good stuff :tup:

What the hell happens after he activates the glyphs after setting up 2 reds and 1 yellow in this video. At first I thought it was a clone attack but then I saw it was an assist.

bad stuff. :frowning:

I guess he doesn’t need it though.

My strat for glyphs is going to be super jump, yellow glyph, discs land teleport then backdash and superjump again yellow glyph then discs. Can’t wait to figure out what his glyphs can do.

“Spell of Vishanti!” BZZZT

Can’t get enough of that hyper.

apologies. I’ve been busy with IRL stuff and I’m currently working on updating the first post with the shit I see on stream + the things you guys are posting. currently watching the archives to get as much info as I can.

Damn thats harsh, is there gonna be like a tournament or something? Cause otherwise it doesn’t seem like we have a very good chance of getting footage.

back home now ~ it was very difficult to really try him out really, because with the limited time I had to play him (2 whooping whole matches) and the fact that there are those that are rushing you down constantly in an effort to win…(it wasnt even winner stays)…so i resorted to simple call assist + teleport shenanigans, and it was too free =P. the 2nd match was when i started to figure out what commands did what, but even those i cannot remember clearly. There should be a moves-list on the capcom page fairly soon anyway. Camera ran out of juice before i even got in, sothere went my ideas for video capture…pretty much fail all around, sorry guys :expressionless: lol.

There were others, however, that got to spend alot of time (those who were 1st in line) on a winner stays basis for about 1 hour. There should be alot of strange information incoming in the next few days. Furthermore, there were *press present that had a whole closed off section, and set-ups all to themselves @_@, so theres that.

edit: nope jak, no tournament, just randoms playing. surprisingly not alot of people were choosing dr. strange. I spent sometime watching other ppl play strange, but there was a lack of competent players…sadly…

i knew he didnt have one when i saw his moveset and no one was airdashing with him. it doesnt make sense with his no range normals and all those crazy multi angle projectiles. his gameplay is probably most similar to phoenix/deadpool dead pool in the stationary keepaway sense… phoenix in the teleport mixups covered by slow projectiles sense. he looks like a good character that will definitely take some work to make the most of… great character especially since they took out them damn scrub ass tridashes that make this game so 123 offense go… but they gave him scrub port to compensate… if i had to choose between the 2 i like teleport simply cause its more scrubby… lets not lie here.

i concur

Gotcha. I just noticed that The Damned seemed very passionate. If you need a thread layout to steal, feel free to take the one in the Dormammu Thread - the UMvC3 one is a skeleton for copy/pasting.

in any case, I have his assists and specials with updated commands+descriptions up in the first post. thanks Karst, I’ll go check out the thread layout now.

edit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbevfScoCS4&feature=related noticed here that Strange put 2Y 1R, then put another red. one of the yellows shattered but 3 orbs were still in play. this means that unlike dormammu, strange can “overwrite” his GoH setups as he pleases without having to use Flames of the Faltine to activate them first.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cr-zJQ5l0A&feature=related I saw here that Doom was directly above Strange when he did his Spell of Vishanti super, so this means that the super, is in fact, tracking.

just played dr. strange at NYC fight club, no air dash made me sad =(

Yea no Air Dash kind of sucks but it seems to be a left/right monster, which is much better than up/down IMO (unless you are Vanila Magneto). So not having a great up/down game from lack of a dash doesn’t seem to be much of an issue.
