Demon Village Redux: Firebrand Video Thread

I just realized that you were talking about Chaotic Flame.
It’s actually height dependent. It doesn’t work if you pillar into Flame. I can only do it when I am able to Dark Hole before hand.

Hey guys, here’s the footage of me from Curleh Mustache 2.

I play casuals at 00:41:16 vs Snaketits.
I play CJ Showstopper at 2:49:50 and Clockwork right after.

Well it’s dead in here.

I won our weekly last Wednesday so here’s the video. I played a little sloppy.

Me vs Havoc in winner semi’s at 1:46:35 (Firebrand/Doom/Amaterasu
Me vs Xaiah in winner finals at 2:20:15 (Akuma/Dormammu/Doom)
Me vs Havoc in grand finals at 2:35:30 (Firebrand/Doom/Amaterasu)

Thanks for the update, Kresent.

Good play from yourself as always.

Absolutely loved the point Akuma play, but it kinda reinforced my view on your Firebrand/Dormammu/Doom team being so strong.

Will Richards was great to watch as always, but playing point Strange is hard in the current meta where everyone is using Nova, Zero, Spencer and Wolverine.

Lastly, Xaiah has a good Thor. Wouldn’t Thor/Doom/Vergil be the preferred choice and cheapest option considering the characters he already plays?

Anyway, I’m looking forward to next weeks videos.

Thanks Skelter!

I like that Akuma/Dormammu/Doom team a lot but it is definitely not one of my main teams. I just love having that great DHC between Dormammu and Akuma. And if Dormammu ever gets on point with Missiles+Tatsu, you lose unless you have a teleport or the right invincible supers. I definitely think I am better with Firebrand/Dormammu/Doom, but Akuma is a lot of fun when I don’t feel like playing Firebrand.

Will actually plays point Strange as his main. I’ve seen him running it for at least a full year now and he really changed my opinions on start of hte round Strange. Option select grab+impact palm+assist is just too good. The problem here is that he just picked up Dante, so he’s not used to having no projectile assist(Hawkeye), and he’s having to learn how to call Jam Session properly.

Xaiah’s problem is that he doesn’t really care much about Marvel. He used to run Thor/Vergil/Dante, and then Magneto/Zero/Doom. Then he switched to this newest variant. I’m not sure what exactly he’s trying to do but out of the people in NC who play Marvel, he has more potential than some of the others.

Kreset! did you switch Dorm for ammy? or was that a team you are just trying out?

It’s my “secondary” main team. My Amaterasu is still really bad but I have some match-up problems with my Firebrand/Dormammu/Doom team that I feel Firebrand/Doom/Amaterasu can handle better. Along with this, my Amaterasu team is forcing me to get better with Doom, which is great.

However, Firebrand/Dormammu/Doom is still my main team and will probably stay that way.

In fact, I’m going to be recording a synergy video for FB/Dorm/Doom soon. Here is a little sample that I just recorded. I’ll record it in much better quality for the synergy video though.

That’s a great combo.

I think that even though a lot of people struggle to use it well. Dorm/Doom with Missiles, Plasma Beam or Rocks is just a pain in the ass to fight.

Anybody have any good Chaos Tide combos?

Hey guys here’s another combo I made.

I guess ill post this here. I played a local tourney match against a friend and even though this is some of our worst play(both of us played like crap here) It shows some good synergy that firebrand has with Iron man. critiques are more than welcome,

That third match was so clean. Delicious.

Hey guys, lots of footage of me at a tournament in Charlotte yesterday. I switched my main Firebrand assist lately so there are a few drops with that extension. Still trying to apply plink dashing in game, so a lot of failed plink dashing too.

Kresent, you are the man for single-handedly keeping this video thread alive.

Will edit the rest of this post later…just wanted to include this here…

@Kresent. Good work as usual. Your Dormammu is your shining character.

@Gamegeezer. I really like your team. Just need to find tighter setups for the opponents incoming.

I’m curious, what makes you think my Dormammu is my best?

On many occasions your Firebrand will die early you neutral game with Dorm/Doom will still net you the match.
You have a really good zoning game (really good) with Dormammu and it helps you keep a lead or momentum even if Firebrand isn’t there. Very good zoning patterns and you don’t teleport like an idiot which is what I do. You just need a Super Jump confirm with him.

I’ve actually learn a lot from watching you play, which is great because Dormammu is my favourite character.
I’m gonna start implementing Dark Hole in my zoning game.

I can see that you’re between a rock and a hard place because you probably want Plasma Beam for Firebrand, but prefer Hidden Missiles for Dormammu. So I would suggest trying Molecular Shield for a bit.

I’m gonna start trying to get my matches recorded. Let’s make this character forum really active.

P.S. Where is Will Richards?

Idk what is up with Will. He seems to be losing interest in the game and it makes me really sad.
