In which way Dormammu’s Dark Hole is a better assist than the others? Is it easy to take the opponent for a combo when he’s caught within a Dark Hole?
Can somebody recommend a good team and a good order for it (point/assist/anchor) from these 4 characters: Akuma, Haggar, Hulk, and Dorm ?
Thx in advance
in my opinion
Dorm, Hulk, Hag or Akuma
A lot say Dorm as anchor but Im running Dorm/Hulk/Task and decided Dorm should be first and the reason is because his assists aren’t as good as the others so no reason to put him in the last spot
It depends on the character. Mobility or having a sliding attack makes it a lot easier. Magneto can pretty much combo off of Dark Hole at any screen range, for example.
It leads to combos, and the placement is better than Purification unless you’re playing hardcore keepaway.
I’m not much for telling people what characters to play.
Thanks a lot!! I don’t have any doubt when I’m running with Akuma in my team: I use him on point because he has such good combos and an amazing speed. But, when I pick up Dorm instead of Akuma, it’s another story: Dorm has a hard time to quickly move and react against rushdown characters and spammers/beamers. Using assists is just a question of life for Dorm!! Hulk doesn’t seem to be a great character, all his moves are quite unsafe when guarded.
You can usually cancel them into Gamma Charge, then use the retreating second Gamma Charge to make his attacks safe. This doesn’t always work, though.
Wow, just played 25 games with Thor/Dorm/Doom and man… these guys are some heavy fucking hitters!! Thor + Dark Hole is a MUCH bigger problem that I could’ve imagined. I was playing against some really good guys who love to rush down. But, no matter what they did, if any of of his characters get pinched, they die. Fast, too. Didnt matter who i had out there. Dorm is a killer. Thor is a killer. Doom is a fucking killer and a great anchor. Man more people need to explore Thor more.
Plus these guys have SO MUCH HEALTH. Man they would be all over me hitting the combos and shit, but nothing. That shit tickles lol. Felt like I was playing with Galactus or something. Geeze.
And I call them: Team DDT. How you luv that. Combo vids coming soon… been playing too much lol
I actually would play Thor on my team, but I hate the character personality so much it’s hard…
I think Thor is a good character, but he takes work. I remember when Magneto was first revealed, everyone was like “Wow, they turned Magneto into a shit character”. Magneto fans prevailed though, and found a ton of technology. Thor isn’t bad (or at least proven to be bad), but no one has really given him the respectful consideration that was given to Magneto. Ditto for a lot of other characters we aren’t seeing.
Have you practiced getting tick throws off of Dark Hole yet? Hidden Missiles assist? I look forward to the videos.
Actually, Hulk’s Heavy follow-up to the anti-air Gamma Charge has +5 Frame Advantage on block. Scary, isn’t it? =P
I’m hyped for this.
Yeah, but most people don’t use the anti-air version to get in, you know? At least in my experiences. Seems like a Flame Carpet would take care of that nicely.
Right now my team is Dormammu (Dark Hole), Wesker (Samurai Edge), and either Magneto (Hyper Grav) or Doom (Plasma Beam). What do you guys think? Should I go with Magneto or Doom? Or is there an even better option?
What order have you been playing this team in?
Also is there a reason you are choosing Hyper Grav for Mags other than for OTG? Beam Assists help Dorm and Wesker a ridiculous amount.
In that same order. Also, I have indeed just been trying out Hyper Grav for OTG purposes (such as Wesker low Samurai Edge OTG, Hyper Grav assist, Wesker level 3), but I do think that EMD would perhaps work better, especially for teleport cross-ups for both Dorm and Wesker. I’ve actually yet to test this team out online, and I’ve barely touched Doom. The only reason I was considering him is because of his beam assist and the fact that he’s apparently a really good anchor.
In this particular case I would suggest Magneto/Wesker/Dorm because of the DHC glitch, also 8-way dash plus wesker samurai edge mean easy unblockable.
Maybe when your Mag is dead you could think about not letting your wesker die before your Dorm but it’s no big deal after all.
Assists: Mag (disruptor), Weser (samurai edge), Dorm (Dark hole for wesker’s resets or Purification for vertical screen control with Mag)
Thanks, that’s a good idea. Also, would you mind giving me an example of a reset for Wesker using Dark Hole?
I’m finding Dorm(dark)/Dante(jam)/Taskmaster(horizontal) Very strong. Dante acts as great anti air and pressure while dorm is free to spam or stock up behind it, as well it allows Dorm to extend mid screen and corner combos, which is a huge plus for the meter gain and damage. Taskmaster is a solid anchor and his assist is used like any beam assist and is very easy to hit confirm when you pull teleport cross ups. The characters DHC very well too.
I just need to get my Dante down and I feel this is a REALLY solid team.
Sure, after a long combo with wesker you will find that you have only two option:
Oh, Plasma Beam, definitely.
EM Disruptor can work well, but it’s more difficult to combo off of for Dormammu and Wesker. Largely, it’s personal preference.
I go with Plasma Beam as well.
I just noticed this today, though with the team I put together assist OTGs aren’t really valued. I’m running Storm, Dorm, Sent.
Dorm with drones increases his mixup capabilities thorough teleports, as well as locking the opponent down with an array of moves. He can come in at anytime during a hailstorm for some nice DHC damage, or pressure with flame balls for chip. He rounds out this team rather nicely, and is just as dangerous as ever with LV2 XF options. I always run him at Dark Hole assist, it suits my teams needs better than any of his other assist.
you know that’s is the exact team I use. I use storm whirl wind assit. Using it from day one. I love the team and it’s just so good to me. Nice synergy I think. I am trying to figure out ways to create combos to extend they’re combos. like using black whole mid combo with storm or something? maybe some type of combo OTG black hole or whirl wind. But I am just not seeing it . If you find any combo specific things for out team. that would also great. I added you on MSN. I never see anyone run this team. I also only play on PSN. But have not recently.
