He looks broken.
How to you guys feel on his health? There’s footage of Nemesis hitting him with a simple magic series into OTG super and he almost dies…I’m guessing 700k at most.
if only that title wasn’t too long, I’d replace the current one in a heartbeat. can’t believe I’ve never made a Strangelove reference when discussing Doc Strange with my buddies. 
and yes, dat anti-akuma technology. snap him in with strange and watch as he becomes free against your counter hyper.
(Hmmm…I hadn’t seen that Cero video.)
Wait…so he has special beams, a counter special move, he can hit the Eye of Agamotto, an OTG super that tracks & is quick AND his counter(-projectile) super does counter beam supers…?
…Damn.
Level 3 is not a grab, it is CLEARLY seen being comboed against both Chris and Strider.
How the fuck is Strange not going to be a decent battery? He built nearly a full meter off of a simple Magneto-esque 15 hit combo that did about half life to Chun-Li, and that was without even calling an OTG assist to keep it going after he bounced her with an Air S.
and add to the fact that his flight and air normals are most likely fast enough to be able to do an easy Magneto/Storm style fly loop, I’d say Strange is going to be a very good battery. he can create mixups on his own with his traps + fast teleport. Trish aint got nothin on dat agamotto.
He wont be a good battery if he turns out needing the meter he builds. And just looking at how he plays, I would want to use his meter. full screen OTG super is reason enough, and a comboable level 3 which would mean full kill to most of the cast.
Projectile heavy character never make good batteries.
new gameplay video added.
ninja edit: air teleport confirmed! and one of his moves causes crumple? this shit just got ridiculous.
Omg his teleport is so fucking fast…
His Spell of Deschant (spelling? Pillar hyper) works from the air as well as the ground, it seems.
His level 3 looks like it works like Iron Man’s Armoured Avenger, he can even do the level 1 OTG hyper in the air :eek:
its hard to tell at this point because it looks like nemesis hits hard VERY hard
He has a fireball and it goes in the direction of the triangle thingies he summons.
And his domino projectile causes crumple stun. ROTFL.
Dr. Strange looks like an unlockable boss.
I was pretty excited to see Stephen Strange make it into the game a month ago…
… then I saw the possibility of DHCing into his full screen counter hyper and I got fucking hot and bothered.
so at this point, what DOESN’T Strange have? trijumps? outside of possibly increasing his combo potential (which from the looks of his tools he can probably do some crazy modok-style juggle combos) he has ridiculously fast air and ground teleports, a counter hyper that can punish fullscreen projectile supers, a super that can be performed in the air AND OTGs, and has a number of traps and projectiles.
so far his two confirmed assists are a trap similar to trish’s peekaboo and two beams that have good reach but appear to have slow startup.
what the fuck. it’s like if Phoenix, Magneto and MODOK had a ridiculously complicated relationship and had a baby.
Off topic, but to the guy who posted that mightygodking.com, thanks man.
Now I’m even more interested in Strange, and gonna put him with Dorm & Shuma on my team.
If you noticed in the Gameplay video 2, when Dante got hit with the trio of orbs, he crumples away from Dr. Strange…meaning you can set the projectile up to hit from behind. Rotfl. Jesus christ.
I mean its funny now…but damn.
Possibilities feel endless right now. I need to go to sleep. Dr. Strange looks ridiculously good.
this is awesome! its very obvious that capcom put a lot of thought and effort into Dr.strange.
he IS looking to be broken… but this is marvel where everything is. morrigan has a super high durability fireball that straight out killed dooms molecular shield… and thusly might blow through everything strange has… nemesis has a super with a TON of projectile invincibility as it went completely through chuns kikosho super.
who knows what capcom has planned, he might be broken or he might simply be very good. its a new game and we dont know how much the mechanics have changed… viper now has an optic beam that seems to go through projectiles as well as already having ex thunderknuckle…
for all we know stranges projectiles might have 1 measly point of durability… maybe thats how they balanced all of them and the crazy things they can do…
all i know is that strange just looks AMAZING!
-dime
I dont think Strange looks broken. He just has a lot to work with.
I still think Rocket Raccoon and Vergil are going to be just plain obnoxious. Seth already said RR was his favorite character.
It was super armor, he walked through kikkosho like a boss
I wonder what can stop it… if it can be stopped.
