If you have not been on @Marvelo 's channel lately, PLEASE check it out. He has some sick sets from Final Round including this Ft10 with Cloud which was really good
Videos from this tournament I got 2nd in this weekend. The Zero/Doom/Dante player that won the whole thing was playing amazing… great Doom. Anyway comments/advice appreciated!
Grand Finals (starts around 2 mins in)
FT10 against said ZDD
FT5 against MODOK/Strider
Whooo! Grats on 2nd man.
Few things I noticed in your set.
You can use double pulse to control neutral vs Zero at least momentarily. It absorbs buster + an assist, which is good since it allows you to fight him without the threat of buster and sets up the pace of the match. More pulses mean him trying to kill the pulses more which means your chance to expose him with boxdash j.H’s and Speed Tackles.
Don’t use cr.M to hitconfirm with Doom. You’ll whiff more often than not. Better to hitconfirm into multiple cr.L’s or from cr.L, go into multiple dash cancel mixups.
If you’re DHCing Nova in from Doom, don’t be afraid. Sphere Flame to Speed Tackle nets you AT LEAST one additional mixup if they block the tackle on the ground.
Besides that, nice extension with Cold Star, good incoming, and solid play.
Thanks Marv! The double pulse advice has got me thinking a lot about how to control neutral in that match and others.
Intentionally taking chip damage vs some characters to get red health is great. I’ve found against people who haven’t played me before, when I sit back to take a hit of chip they already feel like they can go on the offense and then run into a level 2 pulse and die. Then by the next game they don’t want to get as aggressive, throw a seemingly safe projectile and eat a speed tackle or air dash H. It’s a pretty simple gameplan but man does it work.
Got some FT7’s against Sukashi (Zero/RR/Ammy) and Dora (Deadpool/Vergil/Strider and Spidey/Doom/Strider). Enjoy/criticize pls
