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

:lol: :lol: :lol:

This has been THE INVNCIBLE SWORDSMAN saying:

And how long do you figure that will last? A couple of hours? An afternoon? People will be pulling out 800k, 1 bar damage combos within an afternoon of prerelease stream leakage.

ITT, people not knowing about sougenmu Zero and his invincible assists 6 months in the life of the game.

Dr. Strange is now one of three characters in the game with an 8-way air dash, teleport, and flight mode, the other two being Phoenix, who it’s acceptable for due to her health, and Dormammu, who it’s acceptable for due to his slow speed. Then again, Dr. Strange never uses an 8-way air dash in any of his videos. I would be very surprised if he could not though.

Dr. Strange seems awesome. Can’t wait to mess around w/ him. Out of all the characters they have shown trailers for, while most seem to have very intimidating combo’s, Strange just seems the best of the best. He looks to have all of Mag’s tools plus more. his orb assist looks OP unless he has tons of vulnerability time while called out. He has a counter, fast projectiles, teleports… Well they nerfed phoenix and gave us Strange (lol).

I could only imagine him having low hp, but it couldn’t be any lower then strider

I like that he can put out orbs during the crumple animation and potentially setup something like it for later, or just make his combo bigger as a result.

I notice he can’t combo off his air or ground throw without using his OTG Column Hyper or an OTG assist. There’s a difference between him and a few others (Magneto) similar to him.

Dr. Strange confirmed gdlk. He needs trijumps though.

Make it happen, Crapcom.

im still not seeing the mag comparisons… strange doesnt have a confirmed airdash as i havent seen one in any of the vids… and yeah i think we would have seen something like that if he had one.

he has flight,stupid projectiiles, otg’s, crumples and “other stuff” airdashes arent one of them.

-dime

Even if he didn’t have tri jump/air dash I would be pretty fine with him because he looks like he moves pretty fast already especially with Phoenix speed teleports. He can put projectiles on the screen like some Rachel/Nu Blazblue shit and that’s totally what I was hoping for. I’m pretty sure he’ll have some type of air dash though. Maybe they’ll make him into a weird variation of Dormammu that has no air dash but a faster teleport but we’ll see.

When Seth said they were trying to make zoning better, he wasn’t kidding at all.

Just don’t leave MODOK in the dust please Capcom :(. That beam of Strange’s that crumples the opponent is what MODOK’s S Psionic Blaster should have done from the beginning.

Is it me but Dr. Strange has low hp or Nemesis’ damage is that high? What would look like his normal bnb almost outright killed Dr. Strange. Dr. Strange looks like he has a lot of tools and will probably be really nasty. I have a feeling that he will be nasty as a point character being able to play rush down with teleports and zone with traps and fireballs. Maybe with a new breed of keepaway teams, like Strange/Doom/Taskmaster or anything similar.

The good doctor Oh my.

is all I can say.

Granted, Strange has to set up other projectiles and then shoot another projectile at those projectiles to get the crumple beam to come out. It’s not like you just do qcf+atk and get a beam that crumples people. Plus you’re most likely going to need an assist to reliably lock the person in a situation long enough to get hit by the crumple beam. Of course some average Joe Shmoe in the trailer is going to sit there and let a beam that requires 3 other projectiles and another one to set it up is going to get hit by that shit. They wanna show you it works after all.

Whoa there. Please? A couple of hours? More like minutes. I’m well-aware that people will do wonderous and magical things with him. I’m just saying that it won’t necessarily be easy-mode and that we’re not likely to see Strange on every team.

It’s just I would have expected Dante to die from that combo, especially with X-factor.

(I’m going to try to make this post as coherent as possible despite the fact that my eyes are dilated and thus I can see even less than usual right now.)

Yeah, I’d be rather surprised if he stayed at low power output throughout the game’s development after it comes out, especially given the nature of the Internet and how many people getting health drops. Even he if somehow does, he probably has resets out the…cape.

No problem on either end; it’s not your fault I’m slug. Like I said, glad to see people reading it; it makes me feel bad that I haven’t kept up with MGK’s blog in the past year, though.

Also glad to see someone start the Doctor Strange (and the Nemesis) thread(s) who will actually stay around and update it until the game’s release. Only reason I even attempted to bother with it because a) I probably more free time than most people presently, b) I actually like & at least somewhat know both characters and c) I literally have no connection to any of “leaked” characters that are left.

Sigh. There’s so much wrong with this post.

Magneto isn’t crippled; if anything, he’s probably even stronger (unless they take away Gravity Squeeze’s OTG and even then…) with his gravitation abilities.

Also, you’re complaining that the Vishanti super that tracks, that hits OTGs, that activates really fast AND can be done in the air doesn’t do enough damage? …What.

By Gilgamesh, this proves that people will just kvetch about anything. It’s like every time I think there’s some nadir of stupidity on the Internet, someone has to go out of their way to show me I’m wrong and demonstrate that humanity is even worse than I previously thought. Thanks for that.

Cool. Thanks for looking up the name. I hate being wrong on names and I figured it probably wasn’t Ragnarok, what with Thor around…

I’m only familiar with like three or four “patrons” of his between Agamotto, Vishanti, Faltine and, uh, Hoggoth, which I spelled with an “a” like an idiot earlier.

I’ll LOL so hard if he has a Level 5 super that activates when he dies ala Phoenix, except he turns into Zom and the game breaks.

Hey, so is Nemesis! What a coincidence. No wonder they were released together.

From the videos he definitely has bad health and bad damage, he did a combo on dante(who has low health) using 2 hypers and 1 x-factor and he still didn’t kill him and nemesis did a basic sesame street combo on him and took him down to about 10 percent.

Good God ill lmao if the game comes out and strange ends up like super skrull where no one plays him.

I think people should just break Dr.Strange now before we say that he is overpowered. I mean he should be fucking amazing right now, but I want to see how strong everybody else is when people get good with the entire cast. It’s not like shit couldn’t change, I mean…remember SSFIV Dudley? Dudley was never as good as he was shown in the trailers…at all. It could happen to Strange when we don’t have our hands on the game.

I mean it would suck balls if Dr.Strange never lived up to hype. Just like Dudley never did in the long run, and so again…I rather wait before we say who is broken or not.

I hope his counter beam is not activated only by projectiles and that it comes out no matter what

Agreed with Nini, especially with the nerfs to Haggar/Tron Sougenmu + ryuenjin will be an actual get off me while sougenmu + Hadangeki controls an awful lot of space.

I don’t know if I’m doing it wrong or what, but it seems like Sougenmu Ryuenjin still can get stuffed if Zero is hit before it starts. The shadow falls over with him. Of course once the uppercut starts, then the shadow follows through regardless.

It’s a great get-off-me-assist, though not on the same level that Haggar offered.

The bolts of ballsack assist looks great. I hope there’s enough time to throw in a command grab with Wesker between the first and second hit.
