Worst part is, you stick in another magic user and you got yourself a theme team going there with at least some “good” (in theorycrafting land, based off of what we’ve seen) synergy going between Trish and Stephen. Tooooooo tempting.
It is kinda silly how decent the ‘theme’ teams are.
It seems like you could get a lot more damage if you ended a combo with eye of agamotto canceled into spell of vishanti as long as it doesn’t start up too slow.
I also like how strange has a special version of dorms stalking flare and a hyper version of dorms liberation. Will definitely be playing this character unless one of the unannounced characters looks even better. Doctor doom/doctor strange all day, they’re doctors, they have to be good.
Here, here!
That GameSpot preview just made Dr. Strange just that more exciting to me.
Strange’s model looks pretty ass, but my god, my body is so ready for him. His move set looks absolutely rad.
I’m liking Bolts of Ballsack paired with Dante. Lock them down for a free teleport, if the duck the beam they’re hit with instant overhead, if they block they get crossed up, and if they try to react to the teleport the 2nd bolt will catch them anyway.
C. Viper, Dante, and Strange look like they’d have fun together. Assuming my body is ready to learn all that execution after such a long time out of the fighting game scene. Maybe 2 or 3 variations on this team are in order.
I can confirm Mystic Sword is the DP motion.
i foresee alot of this in our future
bolts dont hit standing arthur, make of it what you will.
^Bolts is pretty high off the ground itself so it’s definitely gonna miss on the smaller characters (even while standing) like wolverine, strider and the other midgets like ammy and joe.
Awesome, broheim. Am I right by assuming :l: shoots the blades forward, 
is the upward angled shot and :h: is the close range flurry of slashes?
Am I the only one here that loves all of the names of Doc Strange’s moves?
EYE OF AGAMOTTO! MYSTIC SWORD!, DISCS OF DENAK!, GRACE OF HOGOTH!, FLAMES OF THE FALTINE!, BOLTS OF BOLTHOK! SPELL OF VISHANTI! SEVEN RINGS OF RAGAODOR!
I find myself randomly doing the Dr. Strange pose with his hands and saying his moves, they’ve got such style to them
I’m not seeing how Strange is the new Phoenix. he has delayed projectiles, which could be compared to her traps, I suppose, and a teleport. That’s really it.
He has so many untapped moves too:
SEVEN SUNS OF CINNIBUS!
ICY TENDRILS OF IKTHALON!
WINGS OF NEEDLESS SORROW!!!
(I still can’t get over how troll-worthy that command for Illusion seems.)
Seven Suns of Cinnibus? “Cinnibus”? “Cinnibus”.
…Nope. Even typing that out thrice and repeating it over & over in my head, I still can’t think of anything but Cinnabuns. So perhaps it’s best that they left that particular spell/incantation out.
Because Justin Wong said so, don’t you know? And because Phoenix can’t do anything but put a bunch of projectiles on screen. I mean, it’s not like she’s capable of running you down or anything…
But, yeah, I can get people trying to compare a new character to an old character, but saying they’re the new “So-and-so” just seems dumb unless they’re as similar to each as Ryu and Akuma are (which is still pretty damn far apart), especially since “new Phoenix” makes it sound he’s going to replace her in every instance. Unless he turns into Zom if he dies with five bars, I don’t really see that happening, especially since they haven’t really made Dark Phoenix any less dumb.
I can’t wait to see people calling Virgil the new Dante even when it’s likely that they’ll play completely differently.
strange dose not even have traps
I don’t know why people keep saying that he dose
He has disks of Denak, but those are more similar to Multi-lock.
Well, Strange can make traps out of his Flames of Faltine using well placed Grace of Hoggoth. And he has Discs. That’s probably where they are getting traps from.
Still Hyped, regardless who you would compare him too.
EDIT: Hey maziodyne, here is the ACTUAL Strange Reveal, that isn’t just a clip from the Gamescom thingie.
GoH & FoF are not traps though he’s has to do everything himself , there just a fancy projectile
traps work when you get into there hit zone and activate them
