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

dorm is definitely looking to be one of the obvious frontrunners to compliment strange in a synergistic regard.

although neither one of stranges assists looks to be all that great atm imho… his homing balls dont cause much block/hitstun since all 3 hits hit at the same time… best probably for covering holes in traps and hitting jumps, they also have a horrendous startup both before the balls come out and till they go into tracking mode.

his double beam assist seems to hit to high and it seems as if alot of characters might be able to duck it… plus it isnt a true blockstring… though that can do as much good as bad. looks like a good way to control higher space than normal beam assists… probably his go to if the 3rd assist isnt better.

-dime

Lmao, I couldn’t help but laugh at the exact same thing.
And yeah, def gonna pick up Strange even if he gets nerfed before release. His whole concept it beautiful.

His “beam super” is definetly a counter super…it’s his Seven Rings of Raggador which reflect projectiles in the comics. From the marvel wiki:

[LIST]
[*]The Seven Rings of Raggadorr (Seven blue energy rings that surround him and deflect attacks)
[/LIST]

Seems like his crumple fireball only crumples if it goes through 3 of the triangles.

Dr.Strange better say Cloak of Levitation when he flys…

Looking very tricky there Dr. Strange.

Hes going on the team.

Magneto has not been crippled in the slightest if anything hes stronger. His vocabulary is a little different yes but not weaker… Ahem(clears throat) Disruptah disruptah repulsah repulsah disruptah repulsah… this will become the new standard of annoying. You heard it here first.

I like how you think. Especially since I was gonna run a Dorm/Strange team no matter what.

People better get ready. This guy looks like serious business. And we haven’t even seen all of his shit yet. He’ll undoubtedly have a Fly command. His keepaway already looks pretty sick. Guys are complaining about Phoenix. :lol: Well they better get their tissues ready. He’s got low health. But that’s not that big a deal in this game unless you’re Jean. The guy did a crimple, dropped a projectile/bomb, started a combo and had enough time for the projectile to detonate during the combo.

Vishanti hyper OTGs and goes into the top screen.
Counter projectile hyper means he’s gonna fuck up gameplans in the 2nd spot. That’s a REAL projectile counter folks. Not whatever the hell it is that Hsien Ko has. In one of the vids, the Messatsu Hadoken was literally ON Strange before he cancelled into The 7 Rings. I wonder if it triggers Magneto’s Shockwave.

He’s gotta a Phoenix-fast teleport. He can actually do more than one command special in the air. God forbid he has an air dash. And we haven’t even seen all of his normals yet.

This has been THE INVINCIBLE SWORDSMAN saying:

Shit… Capcom may have to nerf him before he’s released.

I agree wholeheartedly with everything save for the boldunderlined part… LEAVE stephen alone capcom…

it looks like you can shoot a fireball at somebodythen bounce it of the things for more hits mid combo aswell I’d that makes sence

I hope his 3rd assist is that fireball that stays in one places an hits a few times

youtube trailer for strange: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=XBuPbb3tNno

Hmmm… does he have some kind of EX Grace of Hoggoth? He had a yellow one and a red one. Maybe the red one when used with the Fires of the Faltine creates the crumple?

Also, his Bolts of Ballsack seem to have a lot of hitstun. Seemed like an eternity before he fired the second bolt.

LMMFAO

not the same combo its still hard to say but I reckon its 800 or 750 anywatd

Maybe it’s the hype talking, but Strange looks to be a more accessible Magneto.

I never liked how they said that Magnus could be used for rushdown and keepaway (I always felt his keepaway needed STRONG assists), but the good Doctor has this balance and more! I hope they’ll post vids of his assists soon so I can tell how he operates. If any of them are effective to help rush down, Doom’s getting kicked off my Hulk team and replaced by the Sorcerer Supreme!

Also, Special Dialogue with Chun-Li about the Defenders…can’t wait to see what he says when facing Banner or Blaze!:smiley:

Holy balls this character has a lot going on.

Strange talking to Hulk.

Strange: "So… this won’t be a repeat of World War Hulk right? Cause, I like having my body intact."
Hulk: “Magic man confuse Hulk, so Hulk smash.”

Well I didn’t want them to nerf Phoenix either so… :frowning:

Wow. In one of the other vids, the Vishanti super is done IN THE AIR! Holy fuck dude. That means you can’t run if he has a bar or you’re gonna get hurt. Dude did air series into Vishanti hyper, air XFC, air:s: for the knockdown, teleport, ground Vishanti hyper.

This guy is SERIOUS BUSINESS.

This has been THE INVINCIBLE SWORDSMAN saying:

Capcom may have to unnerf Phoenix to deal with him. It honestly looks like he was created to deal with Phoenix and Phoenix was created to deal with him…

I was saying about my magneto, which sucks, not about the character in general.
Magneto is amazing and surely he’ll continue being.

By the way, the reason Strange has commentary with Chun-li is cause he is into asians.
