I like this idea, primarily because most of the rushdown-heavy chars that Dorm doesn’t like dealing with just get bopped by spencer.
Dorm on piont with Purfication assist,Morrigan second with Dark Harmonizer and Doom with missles.Need to work on Morrigan and Dorm synergy some more.Any Tips or videos?
The DHC is the primary thing. She can do the same Firebrand/Dormammu DHC that a few other characters can do (Magneto, Akuma, some others)
Also, TAC options never hurt.
Thinkin about picking up Dorm in a B team and I’m playing with my options. I like the Dorm/missile shell but it seems many people build it out as xx/Dorm/Doom and typically I don’t like running doom anchor despite the advantage of a front loaded team. What ideas are there with Dorm/Doom/x? Seems magneto is the only character i can think of and I dont think doom has much use for EM besides using it to cover moving in. How does Dorm fair on point?
Dorm/Doom/Akuma may work if you want to play dorm on point. Dorm needs something to escape from madness at the beginning of the match and Akuma is a great get off me + Dorm has other good synergy with tatsu assist/akuma. Dorm/Doom/Lariat could also work anchor Haggar is just not really a character unlike Akuma.
It may just be me thinking this way, but I feel like for Dorm to be at his highest potential he needs to be paired with either or a combination of these characters; Doom, Magneto, Morrigan, Haggar(maybe Strange?), edit:also Dante. Ive tried the Dorm/Akuma combo and while the dhc synergy between the two is nice, I feel like that is the only thing going for the two. I used to feel like tatsu was so great for Dorm, but after awhile playing them its just ok(good for start of the round if your playing point Dorm as Cheech mentioned however), and dark hole is just ok for akuma and doesnt really add much to his game. Your also stuck with an Akuma anchor which I feel like now a days is outdated and outclassed by some of the other anchors.
I’ve been thinking about this too, even though I haven’t touched the game in a while. Karst brought out some good points about pairing Dormammu with Morrigan since Harmonizer is “safe” to call. Magnetic Shockwave -> Stalking Flare is still godlike. DormDoom craps on a lot of the cast. Dorm x Haggar is underrated as long as people forget how good Lariat still is. I don’t know about Strange, since Bolts is risky to call given Dorm’s slow normals. Eye is interesting, but still hard to protect.
Chrisis was high on Dante being an automatic default partner for Dormammu and I can see why. Jam Session is amazing for Dorm. Akuma is an OK anchor at best IMO.
Karst did list his top assists which includes Doom, Magneto, Morrigan, Haggar, & Dante.
I might try out Morrigan/Dormammu/Dante since the benefits of Harmonizer for Dorm are tempting to pass up.
Trying out Deadpool/Dorm to compliment Taskmaster. I found some good extension with Dark Hole already, but still on day 2.5, looking for some neutral-game synergy. I bet there’s wakeup mixups I could do with this team, still looking around.
Extension wise, though, this team squeezes a lot of damage out of Dormammu and Taskmaster’s combos.
If anyone’s already got something, lemme know. I’ll be posting anything I find, if it’s useful.
Is there a way to dhc from Dorm to Spencer? Only way I was able to do this was with charges already stored or off of a raw Chaotic Flame. Or this there a the combo that can be used with Dorm on point?
I can’t find any videos online (maybe I’m free) but does anyone know some good synergy between Dorm and Storm? I want a team icy hot
Godlike team name.
Also, no clue. I’ll be on the lookout for Storm/Dorms though.

Spitfire is ok for Dorm at best. Use Sentinel. Hulk/Dorm/Sent is basic and brutal.
Any interesting tech involving Dorm/Shuma?
Ive been meaning to try that myself but first I have to buy shuma lol. I want to test out stuff like if dormammus super jump hit confirm works after mystic ray assist has hit them at sj height first. Also the zoning potential with it is interesting.<br>
I got Shuma, so I’ll see what I can do. Apparently, Dorm/Shuma is a good BFF duo a la Dorm/Doom for some strange reason.

Hmm, guess I’ll take the robot for a spin, I haven’t really messed around with drones, I really dislike how easy is to hit sent while he calls them. What can I do with a drone-backed dorm?<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>By the way, finally managed to pull off the spitfire mix up, only twice with a Tron dummy, but it seems so inconsistent to pull off, and probably does not work on all the characters :(</div>
Drones for Dorm, there’s more, but this is the easiest, most noticeable perk. Flame carpet forces them to reset into drones, then they’re at your mercy for a bit. Makes for some good resets, neutral, and zoning. Chaotic Flame can protect it better than most, just not against, like, Akuma. Also, the extensions with drones and big bang look so cool.<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Also, I might have said it earlier in this thread, but no one should underestimate Dorm/Bolts. I’m starting to think top 5 assists for Dormy at least. Strange works well with Dark Hole too, and can set up flames combos from a DHC to flare and a tag, or something…check the Strange forum videos, I can’t do flame loops yet.</div><div><br></div><div>However, big thing is, on incoming and all mixups where they have to block (stalking flare incoming, any incoming when you use meteors, every post-chaotic flame, after they land from getting hit by any of your zoning tools, or when you can throw out a dark matter safely, really almost anytime), it’s basically disruptor with a slightly better damage output. The mixups are powerful. Three jumploops from a dark matter + bolts with a Teleport M. Other assist as extension, it’s good damage. Other HUGE deal in neutral, it creates good pressure on a blocked flame carpet (one example, call strange while laying the carpet, teleport, normal, fishhook/low/throw, two of which don’t even whiff when the previous normal is advancing guarded. Be still my aching heart.)</div><div><br></div><div>Also, flame carpet, bolt, liberation (0 charges) bolt, dark matter, dark hole gets a lot of meter and spaces itself out so they never fall too low, it’s really easy. </div><div><br></div><div>Bolts, in zoning, also gets you two free pillars or two free charges, or a charge and a pillar, unless they’re short. Dorm probably cares the least about it not hitting crouchers, as he’s got a vertical pillar, dark matter to hit lower folks, and fishhook, and they have to jump into the bolts to airthrow him. Bolts also eats drones for some reason, or at least that’s what happens in my matches. </div><div><br></div><div>I’m just now learning braindead doublecrossups and, well, other stuff, with this team, and I’ve been beating people much, much better than me online, and like really one-sided too, and my execution and neutral are REALLY terrible online (offline I’ve only got a few people I play against, but I’m getting many more perfects now).<br></div><div><br></div><div>The assist is bumped to probably top2 if you have something good for up close with Dorm as your other assist, lariat, hulk AA, crescent scythe, shadow blade, most of those would make Dormy a god…more of a god.</div>

Any comments on Viper/Dorm/Doom? I didn’t see a single mention of Viper in this thread, just curious if she’s not too great with them for some reason.<br>
