How to Stop Worrying and Love the Hoary Hosts of Hoggoth - The Ultimate Doctor Strange Thread

Been playing around with Strange after I found the SoVx2 combo, really want to know if there any assist that work well with him other than Strider.

Sucks, but makes sense. Strange with Phoenix tactics would be retarded. >_>
Edit: Are you certain you can’t throw M Daggers during flight? Phoenix can still do two L fireballs into teleport if she flies first, iirc. Wondering if Strange has the same type of flight mode as all the other characters.

Any beam/fast, long range assist. Also, assists that help with teleport mix-ups (Ryu/Akuma tatsu) and assists that shield Strange so he can set-up graces/daggers/EoA (Ghost Rider, Sentinel, Wright Paperwork =D) are all good. Lock-down assists are really good too (preferably something that distorts yellow, so you can abuse that bullshit TK Fly trick into instant overhead;somebody run White Strange with Amaterasu Cold Star =P). Just be creative.

I was messing around with strange today and he seems really fun but I dont know where to start with him. He seems really weird and unsafe. So I guess my question is, where do I start if I want to learn this guy?

why do this guy has the best swag combos ever?

@shin mash that low jab.

I barely started playing KOF. I am terrible right now, and I don’t have money for a copy yet ;_;

I’ve been kinda out of the tourney scene due to reasons beyond my control… hopefully I can come back soon.

Check video thread later today.

Not sure if this is out of place but I’ve scoured the tech forum and art threads but anyone found any good arcade stick art with Dr. Strange on it? Besides ones using his stock character art?

Also, anyone exploring Strange reset options? My current bnb reset is

palm loop x3, j.M j.M (call Iron Fist dragon kick) j.H j.fH, (dragon kick hits and causes wall bounce) land, EoA, j.fH, wait j. Throw.

then I carry it into, SoV for ~900k and xfactor palm loop if desire death.

But it only works if I carry them to the corner and really he has no options to start comboing again on his own. Can he even get a combo off a throw with an otg assist?

Off of air throw, yes. Off of ground throw, maybe. In the corner, you can try calling assist, then throwing the opponent into the assist. Strange can always get a combo off of a corner grab if he has a grace set beforehand. See if you can set a grace mid-combo (with assist or EoA holding in place).

I actually have an example w/ red Grace + Iron Fist in my vid. I don’t have time to upload now though x_x

But yeah, you can set a grace during the combo, then use that to combo off airthrow.

palm so hard that shit strange

Hmmm yea, I’ll search for some red grace openings in my combos. There may be some time to get a grace out with that assist or while their riding on top of the EoA. If that works its a dead character. Def be testing that today.

Guys is it me, or since the patch does Dr. Strange’s dash and wavedash seem buffed?
I remember his dash was crap and so was his wavedash, but it seems more viable.

:o

fuck, I need to download H&H and the patch RIGHT NOW. I was on vacation for a couple days. kara Impact Palm is soooooo godlike.

I think i figured out a flight combo guys, no x-factor, doesn’t seem that strong though… but it’s flashy… video coming soon.

How do i move with strange. I am so used to air dashes how do i make strange work like dorm?

stay grounded. wavedash a lot.

Use teleports to evade people when they come after you.

ok l’ll try

is there a consensus on where Dr Strange best fits in team order?

I was running him on point for a while but now I just have him as anchor because I like doing the xfactor loop and I don’t like playing any of my other characters as anchor.

best on point and horrible as anchor, but wherever you feel comfortable playing him really.
