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

10 hits… ONLY? Compared to what? Your BnB?

…which also decreases the longer it’s out. it’s not like Jam Session which is a constant 10 hits

That’d just be evil considering he can knock it along the screen.

And it tracks.

there ahould no reason why you can’t set up all graces on a incoming character with eoa plus assist

I was planning on using discs assist, because I thought it would control the space in front and above my point char. But from this video it looks like the discs don’t have hitboxes until they start moving. :frowning:

Yeah, if they did then Light Magic M would be fucking ridiculous.

Not really related to Strange’s gameplay, but I did just realize that his Level 3 Hyper qualifies as an Unflinching Walk.

Yeah, real bored right now…

So I played him at PAX and I gotta say he is pretty damn good and really fun to play. Nothing new to report really except that he is incredibly punishable after his pillar of light super and his Light Magic H assist is pretty broken as of right now. Not in damage just that it does 15 hits slowly so it keeps them there whether they are blocking or getting hit and allows for a quick mixup/crossup or two. Even the guy at the Capcom stage at PAX said when I used Zero + Strange “Wow that Magic H keeps you stuck for a while, may need to balance tweak that one”. This was when I used Strange assist then had zero use his dash to cross them up. I was 100% safe on that crossup and they couldn’t do anything to stop me.

Is that the Eye of Agamotto assist?

if so, guess its the new Doom rocks.

only point blank tho’

Yeah point blank, does not move or track, but will sit there for a while. Think like Dorm flame carpet if it was an assist (and didnt push people away like it does now in ultimate)

still can’t wait to play him…wonder what they gonna tweak about him in the final release…

Dorm’s flame carpet as an assist sounds pretty nice to me. Again, time will tell.

Oh yeah, and didn’t anyone see the interview? http://shoryuken.com/2011/08/29/umvc3-seth-killian-talks-ryu-wolverine-strange-and-arthur/

Killian looks adamant about not letting Strange get an air-dash. So we know that much.

for some reason ever since shoryuken.com went down I haven’t been able to watch any of the videos on the front page, it wont even let me access the actual posts.

the frontpage links seem to work from the ‘forums’ page okay, just not from the actual front page. Keep up the good work guys!


And I have to seriously agree with Killian about the airdashes.  Yeah it goes against the internal logic of the game (flight but no airdash), but he's looking really strong already.  If it were me I'd give him a low-speed 2way airdash so at least he has a little more combo juice.

lol guess we’ll blame you if strange is low tier

red Dr. Strange costume is the most bitchin’ thing I’ve ever seen, plus his costume from Marvel 1602.

sexiest man on Earth 616 fo’ sho’

no new Strange news unfortunately, at least until there’s another playable build of Ultimate.

Seth already said that the Eye of Agamotto assist was his favorite of all the assist, so it’s not like nobody in Capcom knew its strength. Yeah, people were hyping the dual beam but I don’t think it will be that good of an assist, considering how easily it is to duck it and how it will be a happy birthday magnet with Strange staying for so long. The flame carpet in ball form is likely to be his best assist but I doubt it would be that easy to hit people with it.

Bolts are gonna be kind of like doom rocks I think.

Everybody insisted before Dr. Doom came out that Rocks would be the thing and missiles would be useless (well excepting a few of us). It seems like the same thing here.
