damn, batting .000~!
L Disc tracks and becomes active fast enough that it could probably be used both as an OTG assist and a mixup tool. basically imagine Dante’s multi-lock if it was a single hit and OTGs.
He hits pretty hard for a character of his archetype /: Pair that with his mixup potential and you have a near dead anything really
This isn’t about wesker though…
If Strange is meant to be a zoning type character, I would only imagine his damage output being decent at most. They didn’t give him an air dash… maybe they thought he would be too good? I dunno :lol:
Strange has everything he needs to be a high tier character. IMO he’s just screaming high tier. He has most of the BS technologies that made other Vanilla characters high tier. He has assist call to teleport 50/50 BS, can throw out projectiles that set up his own 50/50 BS like Phoenix, can flood the screen with crap like Dante/Magneto etc. Without having an air dash he’ll probably a bit reliant on putting shit on the screen first before setting up his offense but it will easily make him like a more aggressive version of Dormammu which IMO is going to be really fucking nasty. Left right mix ups are basically stronger than high/lows IMO since you don’t need to be at close range to set up a left right mix up and Strange is going to be doing that BS all day with what looks like the fastest port in the game.
Pretty much everybody I have in top tier except Magneto has side switching assist call + teleport/command dash BS so with all of Strange’s traits I see him easily becoming high tier being able to do that shit regularly easily. With all of his projectile options he’ll be able to set up these mix ups from just about anywhere on the screen more easily than any of the vanilla top tiers that can currently do it by themselves except for maybe Wolverine (who’s berserker slash is getting toned any way).
Seth said at some point that no way should strange have a air dash , he’s already super mobile n with a air dash he would be too good
(Freaking alerts…)
Well, despite having 3 pages to catch up on, it went amazingly quickly; this means I have to check the Nemesis thread too though…
Anyway, since I didn’t see this mentioned and I just realized it last night myself, I figured I’d just quote myself from the “Ultimate Salt” thread because I find it hilarious:
So, yeah. For all the talk about Strange being a “better version of Phoenix”, it seems at least likely that he should able to rather effortlessly kill Dark Phoenix if he’s the one to turn her into Dark Phoenix & has at least one meter considering how Spell of Vishanti shuts down her (nerfed) runaway and Seven Rings of Raggador shuts down her (brainless) rushdown in that mode.
“You’re a god that can devour suns? Pfft. Get on Doctor Strangefate’s level!”
So. Dirty.
Also, I wouldn’t be surprised if H Mystic Sword looped into itself in the corner with X-Factor considering all the dumbshit other characters have with the same special over and over in X-Factor and Doctor Strange being a new character.
I was going to make some joke about Justin Wong summoning Marn as a special and turning MvC3 Chun-li into SF3 Chun-li, which would make her actually worth using. However, that quickly warped into remembering Jackie Chan dressing up as Chun-li in City Hunter or whatever, which led to me picturing Justin in Chun-li’s dress.
…Just thought I’d share how fucked up I am with all of you.
P.S. Yes, I know the Wong he’s actually talking about.
I wonder how rings would work against Dark Phoenix ad point blank range. Does it read the feather and activate, or does it just get immediately stuffed by the actual punch?
push block the actual hit.seven rings
that’s how you go about it with magneto
I turned out to be right. Impact Palm gives you TWO FREE GRACE while you still get to continue the combo.
ok that’s a pretty great thing to confirm. I bet you could also do grace and Eye then, if you wanted to.
I wonder if the time he’s turned the wrong way when he tries to teleport behind the guy in the corner (in that vid) is the recovery time for teleport.
I don’t know if you get edge and eye though (unless that happened and I didn’t see it). Eye looks like it has hella startup frames, like Hysteric Missiles from Dante bad.
I keep drawing parallels to Dante when I think of this character, whilst others draw to Phoenix. Huh. Love the Idea of Dante/Strange though, not gonna lie. Even a Strange Anchor would be fun for something like Dante/Viper/Strange. FUCK ME EXECUTION IN MAHVEL 3 I DON’T BELIEVE IT… I’m trying too hard.
I should have put I bet in there lol, editing.
Question, could you summon an assist to give you time to set up 3 graces, then continue the combo?
It’d have to being a pretty fucking long assist, like Cold Stars or Jam Session, but I think it is very possible. No way to know 100%, but I will say yes.
Hey guys, I will have a chance to play the game this sunday, want me to test anything? The only other characters I will be playing are Nemesis, Firebrand, Ghost Rider, Zero, Thor and Arthur, so if you want any team or assist specific stuff tested, it will have to be limited to those characters.
If you can, test out if GR’s chains are projectiles.
And see just how annoying illusion is.
can you check if you can cancel his launcher on block,
and can you teleport while flying
also flight in combos
Sure, no problem. I expect to be spamming the hell out of illusion anyway, so that will definitely get tested, haha.
could you take notes on his Grace of Hoggoth stuff? the list is pretty incomplete so far, and it’s still missing stuff like if you mix and match Y and R orbs. the effects of those are still unknown and if Y and R can even interact with each other at all. thanks.
edit: saw Seth do a couple reps of ABC Impact Palm xx H Mystic Swords midscreen. Strange seems to be stationary if the move hits but pushes the opponent away. I’m 100% certain you can loop this in the corner and setup some nasty shit afterwards-- Strange likely has a good deal of frame advantage with H Mystic Swords on hit (which is why S-kill was able to juggle Impact Palm aftewards). this character gets nastier every time I see more vids of his gameplay… I’m getting hyper grav loop vibes from this guy geez.
edit 2: saw XplosionFish’s post above about the two free graces after impact palm. that + possible Mystic Swords loop = By the raging ragequitters of XBL!
It seems to me that yellow Graces upgrade the projectile, and red Graces cause explosions, but I’ll test them more thoroughly. That mystic sword loop is getting done too, this character is so ridiculously interesting. I actually hate MvC3, but Strange is making me interested in Ultimate.
