I think I’ll just use:
Hsien(Pendulum)/Dorm(D. Hole)/Mag(H. Grav)
Start: Hsien DF, then let Mag have point w/ D. Hole and DF Pend.
I know about the Flame Carpet OTG, i.e. j…s then H. Grav assist, 3H, CF xx XFC xx CF =)…
And Hsien can build meter in wierd ways…
Thinking of: Dorm (Dark Hole), Taskmaster (Up Arrows), and Hulk (Gamma Charge Up). Task’s assist get’s them out of the air, and locks down. So does Hulk’s. Dorm’s Dark Hole sets up Tasky’s Unblockable.
whats tm’s unblockable with dorm??
Tasky’s Swordmaster SRK motion plus L has unblockable followups. Dorm’s Dark Hole can lock them down for this move to go through.
Posted this in the Morrigan team thread, too.
This is more of a Dormmamu thing, but if you like the two then here you go. I find that Morrigan’s meter assist is invaluable to Dormmamu; I imagine him as the machine gunner and Morrigan as the solider who holds the ammo belt and feeds it into the gun, haha. She can keep him topped up nicely for his Chaotic Flame punishes and Stalking Flare shenaningans, she goes really well with him.
DHC wise, ground combo, air combo, S, Shadow Servant DHC Chaotic Flame is really nice to beef up her damage output, and it knocks them full screen so you can go for Dorm’s zoning stuff.
Yeah, but against experienced rushdown opponents, I don’t feel as though I have time to call meter assists - I need something to actually help my offense or defense.
How would Trish (Low Voltage)/Dormammu (Dark Hole)/Tron (Gustaff Fire) work? I’ve been thinking about Reordering it to put Tron earlier, so I can get more out of her point abilities while she has assist backing her.
Low Voltage can act like a sort of ghetto beam to help dorm, and tron assist will help people off of him. Dark hole assist will help tron get in, and so will low voltage. Dark hole will help Trish cover more of the screen, and tron assist is tron assist.
I’m pretty good with Trish and Tron, but I’m still ass at Dorm, so I wanted to ask people who knew how to play him. Should I reorder the team? Get rid of Trish or Tron altogether? What do you guys think?
That team should work fine. Consider messing with Dormammu’s Purification assist to help Trish’s zoning.
Trying out this team : Wesker(Samurai Edge)/Dormammu (Dark Hole)/Doom (Hidden missiles)
Any tips about Wesker assist that would help dorm ? Samurai edge isn’t really useful. Also is molecular shield better than hidden missiles for dorm ? I don’t really like Doom’s beam assist with dorm.
Samurai Edge should be good with dorm because he can do a crap load of damage off of a relaunch. There isn’t really any way for him to OTG and continue without XFC… and Samurai Edge is a great OTG assist. It can also help when doing semi instant fly S overheads to create unblockable scenarios are difficult or impossible to guard against.
With that being said, I don’t like Wesker very much as a character. He is lacking in some departments. A lot of his moves get stuffed stuffed stuffed by anything and everything. His teleport is great but you have to ask yourself, what is missing from your team? If you keep Dormammu and Doom, what else could you use? I don’t know your play style, but I use a 70/30 rush to Zone ratio with Dorm. I win a lot of matches now because I think people don’t expect that. They think that all he can do is sit in the cut throwing dark holes and purifications. Not my Dorm… My dorm is coming for that ass lol. Also, I use liberation as an assist because if I ever land a super, i charge Liberation 3D and tag him out so I can use the Liberation as an OTG assist during a combo.
The truth of the matter is, IMO, Wesker doesn’t help Dorm on that team if you are creating a Dormammu focused team. I run Dorm on point, Mag (EM Disruptor) and Doom (Missles). Missles help Dorm a lot. I use Mag’s EM disruptor to stuff anyone trying to zone me out (AHEM Deadpool). Wesker on the other hand, can’t really zone. And when properly zoned (say against another Dormammu) how is he supposed to get in? Your team then focuses more on Wesker than Dormammu, and Dark hole doesn’t help Wesker much if he’s being zoned. Its slow and can be easily stuffed. Maybe purification will help but I think that for wesker, liberation is the best bet, but you’d have to put Dorm on point, and the wesker assist wont’ help stop a zoning/rush down character like Deadpool or Magneto.
Finally, in respect to Doom, the fact still remains that the rocks aren’t as good as they were in the last game. The missles on the other hand… they are all purpose. Even if only one comes out and doom gets stuffed, they will eat a rocket if they air combo or do a stationary super (like Dante’s Million Dollars) and it will interrupt the super. If they all come out, you can rush down with triangle jumps shenanigans and try to combo off of the missles. If they jump and hold forward they eat 6 missles. Really if they do anything besides super jump back, the missles will mess up their game. Rocks are really only for dooms combos now. If they OTG’d it would be better but no… Rocks got nerfed…
I mean maybe wesker works for you. Or maybe I havent’ played any outstanding weskers… Everyone on the game is viable though (just did MODOK’s missions… wow even he is awesome), so I’d love to, and plan to be, proven wrong. Got videos? Show what you got…
I’m not really good at all at this game but I choose Wesker as my first character because I have a hard time finding a good point character for my Dorm/Doom team that I would use correctly and have a decent DHC(I use Spencer too but he seemed even less useful for Dorm than Wesker :/) but also build hyper quickly(i’ve thought about Zero too). I have a hard time playing Magneto,sadly i’m still a noob at this game. I don’t have any playstyle right now,sometimes I just zone like mad or I rush or I mix both.
Ah, yes. Purification works nicely. Thanks.
I am just decided to switch to dormammu with Trish (peekaboo) and Tasky (up or parabola arrow) (since he feels a lot like Blackheart from MVC2), now I try to play a balance team that can both be offensive or defensive. Should I use Dark Hole or Purification as my Dormammu assist? Also, should I start off with Trish or Dormammu, because I heard that both of them are good as point…
I’ve been playing STD (Sent/Trish/Dorm) for a few days now and I can safely say that they mesh really well together, great DHCs, great characters by themselves, anti-air and ground is covered by spit/pillar, great keepaway game with all three, flows pretttty nice.
In MvC2, I used BlackHeart (point)/ Shuma Goarth / Doom (anchor) and the team was good. That was my team “Syn”. Tomorrow I am using syn 2.0 with Dormammu / Shuma / Doom. Hopefully the team has a better synergy then the MvC2 version.
As for the STD team that Papa rhino is using. he is right, that team is good.
As for shuma’s assist. I think Mystic Ray will be good if Dormammu is on point. It covers the whole screen and with dark hole, zoning will be beautiful.
I’m currently thinking of running Ironman / Dorm (Dark Hole) / Doom (Hidden Missiles). I’m wondering what assist you guys think I could use for Ironman. Unibeam would be the obvious choice, but I’m thinking that perhaps repulsar blast could benefit Dorm. Any thoughts?
Use repulsar blast, it’s a free mixup into launcher every time a character comes in and it also holds them longer if they block it.
ive been using magneto(em disrup) dorm (liberation) doom (missiles) for a bit now, kinda wanna trade out magneto for sentinel assist A or wesker assist B. the team works great as a zone or lock down mix. with magneto building tons of meter, its easy to tag him out and let dormammu wreck. dooms can be great as AA cause they have to block, or to keep good pressure on. i want sentinel assist A because i lke triangle jumping over the missles for big combo’s. what do ya’ll think?
The Shuma assist seems to have some slow start up and not cover that much of the screen. Unless I am thinking of the wrong one. I think they showed it in the Seth video. The Mystic Ray covers the front, but doesn’t go much further than that, which might not help much in lock down. I guess we have to wait and see.
Shuma Goraths Mystic Ray is the best for Dormammu imo.
