Iron Fist assist is a good idea idea. You can probably do a Dorm flight combo if you confirm off of it. Which isn’t as good as Dark Matter combo, but hey.
Any thoughts on:
Viper / dorm / ?
Viper / ? / dorm
Doc strange / dorm / ?
? / doc strange / dorm
Also, any thoughts on Morrigan / dorm in any order / place…just those two in general.
I’ve been playing Dorm for quite a while now, he’s actually my most used character. I’ve tried SO many different teams with him, and I had finally came up with the best possible option. Might as well share it now.
It’s Spencer on point with assist being Wire Grapple H.Shot.
Dormammu as second with assist being Purification.
Sentinel as anchor with Sentinel Force (Charge).
Let me explain:
DHC Capabilities:
-Spencer can DHC into every hyper on the team. Bionic arm and bionic maneuvers can both DHC into chaotic flame, stalking flares, AND dark dimension given the correct timing. Spencer’s bionic arm and bionic maneuvers can also DHC into Sentinel’s plasma storm and hyper sentinel force. If Spencer wiffs a bionic arm he can safely DHC into a stalking flare, or hyper sentinel force (unless he’s in the corner.)
-Dormammu can DHC into most hypers on the team. Chaotic flame can DHC into bionic arm ANYWHERE on the screen (the timing may be a tad difficult at first, but once you get it down it becomes 2nd nature). Chaotic flame can also DHC into hyper sentinel force, and plasma storm (If you’re in the corner). Stalking flare can DHC into almost everything on the team (given the right circumstances) aside from hyper sentinel force.
-Sentinel can DHC into almost every hyper on the team. Plasma storm can DHC into bionic arm, bionic maneuvers, and chaotic flame. Hyper sentinel force on the other hand can DHC into everything (given the right circumstances) aside from dark dimension.
Assist Capabilities:
Each assist on this team plays a valuable role.
-Sentinel Force (Charge) speaks for itself. It is arguably the best assist in the game. It’s great for teleport mix-ups with dorm and spencer can use it to carry the opponent to the corner. Once in the corner it can be used to extend combo’s with spencer. (For more details search “UMvC3 Knives” on youtube and watch some of his tournament games).
-Purification is normally outshined by dorm’s superior assist (dark hole). But with spencer, it works amazingly! Once spencer drags the opponent to the corner using sentinels drones or whatever method the player chooses, he can use purification to extend combos.
Here’s an example. watch from 0:41-1:03: [media=youtube]ujD2wYpCw6Q[/media]
Please note: Since purification and sentinel drones can both extend spencer’s corner combos spencer can pull off 1,000,000+ damage in the corner with ease.
-Wire Grapple H.Shot is an amazing combo extender for dorm. Some may argue that dorm needs an OTG assist, well this does the job. Here’s a basic combo that uses the assist:
c.:l:, c.
, c.:h:, s.:s:, j., j., j.:h:, j.:s:, call assist, dash forward, flame carpet, c.:h:, s.:s:, j., j., j.:h:, j.:s:, purification, chaotic flame.
Damage: 698,000 (Non-mashed). Works on every character in the game. Almost always carries dorm to the corner. The chaotic flame can be DHC’d into bionic arm, hyper sentinel force, or plasma storm.
Anyways, that’s been my dorm team for quite a while now. It has godlike synergy and I’m sure there is still tonnes more to discover.
Have you thought about making the team Spencer/Sentinel/Dormammu? How good are you with Sentinel by himself if you’re facing a good player using one of Sent’s many bad matchups?
I’ve honestly considered all the possibilities, including that one.
Pros: Dorm is an amazing anchor, one of the best in the game.
Cons: Dorm misses out on Spencer’s combo extending assist, and Sent’s godlike assist.
I don’t really want to miss out on the amazing and underused Dorm/Spencer synergy. Plus I’d like to have Sentinel’s assist for Dorm as well. As long as you stay in the air with Sent and try to bait your opponent, he’s a decent anchor. If I really start to despise Sentinel, I can always switch him with Akuma. Akuma has good DHC synergy with both Dorm and Spencer, plus he has a very good assist. It’s arguably not as good, or as helpful to the team as drones are; but atleast I have a pretty good anchor who can handle himself. In the end, it’s all personal preference I guess. Through time I believe that I can get pretty good with Sent as anchor.
Dorm/Doom/Dante or Dorm/Dante/Mags?
I can play a decent Doom by whatever standards we play by here, but as for my mags… i can do the fly loop and then drop it after the 4th or 5th :h: lol
Go with Dorm/Dante/Mags.
Hey guys, just wanted some of your guys’ opinions on some team comps. Obviously Dorm/Dante/Mags is a dirty comp that a lot of people here seem to be quite keen on for obvious reasons so I’m obviously going to consider that composition, however for the sake of trying to mix up some of the more frequently used characters in some Dorm compositions I wanted some input on Spencer/Dante/Dorm, or maybe taking Dorm to the point in that comp to make use of Dante’s Jam sesh and trying to hash it out with xf3 spencer if worst comes to worst?
Other characters I’m interested in are X23, Wesker, Deadpool, and Spidey. Any decent comps you guys can come up with based on these guys mixed up with Dorm? Thanks in advance.
Dorm/Wesker for OTG relaunch combos do a helluva lot of damage.
Lemme give you a brief rundown.
Out of all the characters you mentioned Spencer, Deadpool, and X-23 have the best synergy with Dorm. (I tried to include Dante in the these teams as well)
Here’s a few teams that would work well (In some of these cases I suggest using Weasel Shot instead of Jam Session).
X-23/Dorm/Dante: X-23’s ankle slice assist can help Dorm re-launch. Dorm’s dark hole assist can also extend X-23’s combos. This team has pretty good DHC synergy.
Deadpool/Dorm/Dante: Deadpool’s quick work assist can help Dorm re-launch. Simply walk forward and place a flame carpet while calling out Deadpool’s assist and it will hit the enemy towards Dorm. You can also use it for unblockable’s. This team has very good DHC synergy.
Spencer/Dorm/Dante: Spencer’s horizontal shot assist can help Dorm re-launch. Simply walk forward and place a flame carpet while calling out Spencer’s assist and it will carry the enemy back towards you. Dorm’s liberation assist can also extend Spencer’s corner combos. This team has amazing DHC synergy.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
Hey man thanks for the reply.
From the rundown you gave me I got the sense that dorm seems a sensible choice on point because of how much he can benefit from relaunch assists in conjunction with flame carpet. That being said and, correct me if i’m wrong, with spencer’s assist synergy combined with his ability to combo for days on his own, decent meter usage, and obvious power in xf3 he would seem like a solid anchor for a dorm on point with his horizontal assist. That being said, with deadpool and x23 also having nice otg assists would it make sense to run one of them in the 2nd spot? And if so which would you recommend? You mentioned that dorm can really help extend x23’s combos but how does he do in helping deadpool’s combos?
Aside from all of my above assumptions, i also know that many players tend to prefer dorm 2nd or 3rd due to his above average meter use. Would wanting him to be able to make use of spencer assist still therefore putting dorm 2nd spot with x23, deadpool, or even wesker or spidey on point be a viable idea?
My apologies for both the grammar as i’m typing this all out on my android and also if I don’t make any sense or this is mind numbing basics as i’m pretty fresh into the fighting scene. If it helps at all my goal as far as answers to my questions go is to come up with a very solid team for use in future competitive play that can ideally hold it’s own against other popular high tier and competitive teams (as much so as theory can tell us at least and you’re definitely more well versed in theory than myself).
Thanks again in advance for any and all feedback you can provide. Cheers.
Edit: spelling
A new setup I figured out today for my team; Mr. Bubble on GAF was kind enough to make a video of it:
[media=youtube]1G_ybt65Rjk[/media]
Dorm is one of those characters who can really fit anywhere on a team. Most people prefer him in the second or third slot due to the fact that he benefits from meter, and x-factor.
I’d put Spencer on point for a few reasons: He can safely DHC into stalking flare if anything goes wrong, he builds meter for Dorm, he can use Dorm’s assist for combos. I somewhat rely on Spencer to get the first kill, then I usually hard tag into Dorm, or DHC into him. The good thing about Spencer is his high health, if he’s almost dead I can safely DHC into stalking flare; that way I preserve his assist for Dorm as well. I guess it’s up to what your most comfortable with though, he works fine in both first and second place. Plus, Dante is a really good anchor, most people don’t realize it because he is do damn good on point as well; Spencer is an overrated anchor IMO. Also, Spencer and Dorm can both safely DHC into Dante’s devil trigger if anything goes wrong.
Also, here’s a video of Spencer using Dante’s jam session to extend the zipline loop: [media=youtube]Evb79Vy7A7Q[/media]
I guess you could put Spencer on anchor, but then you’re missing out on both Dorm and Dante’s assists.
I personally prefer Deadpool over X-23, for a few reasons. Deadpool’s quick work assist is one of the best assists in the game, can be used for really tricky set-ups, and for re-launching with Dorm. X-23’s assist on the other hand is a dedicated OTG assist that doesn’t provide much other then that for Dorm. Not sure about combo extensions with Deadpool using Dorm’s assists, but there may be something.
My old team actually used to be Spencer/Dorm/Sentinel. The only problem with that team is Sentinel being a very sub-par anchor. Other then that, Spencer and Dorm both highly benefits off of Sentinel’s assist.
If you want to take a look at that team, scroll up the page a tad. I did a quick rundown of that team’s capabilities.
Good luck with your team amigo.
Will a Dorm/Dante(Crystal)/Vergil(Rapid Slash) team work? or will a Wolv/Dorm(DarkHole)/Dante(I don’t know which assist) team work better?
Dormammu definitely does not want Dante on Crystal. Beyond that, both of those teams would work, preferably with Dante on Jam Session.
Who do you guys think are good anchors for Zero/Dorm/xxx?
Dante, Doom, Sent, Strider, Vergil (mainly for herp). There’s gonna be more good picks but those are the ones I’m thinking of right now (Dante with Jam Session in particular).
I’ll second Spartan_Throne and say Dante on Jam … that team is bonkers. Ammy on Cold Star could actually be really good (a la Zak Bennett) now that Ammy’s X-Factor isn’t stupid. Doom and Sentinel are probably the 3rd and 4th best choices. Possibly even Rocket Raccoon on Spitfire Twice.
Excellent avatar, btw. =)
For what it is worth I like Zero/Dorm/HM. Mags has more team synergy but if you can play Zero touch of deaths are nice. Zero can protect missiles and run wild much like Mags.
Honestly I think any good meter-building character like Zero, Mags or Dante in front of Dorm/HM is pretty effective. The only thing that is unfortunate about Zero in this case is his lack of a good assist for Dorm.
