Lord of the Dark Dimension, the Dormammu thread

The Iceman of MvC3

Kanta-Kun just to reiterate because this is blowing my mind:

You teleported AFTER your friend was already blocking the Floating bomb, putting him in blockstun/lockdown, THEN you teleported and he started getting hit, correct?

block almost never works that way tho’, you have to at least reset to neutral for it to work.

I’m betting that his friend did something to stop blocking… maybe he was pushing it?

You don’t understand. crossups can work that way as long as there is no “absolute guard”. MvC2 and SF4 has it, but 3s does not. Absolute guard means that when you’re in a tight blockstring you don’t have to keep holding back to keep blocking. Absolute Guard will save you from cross ups while you’re in blockstun, so you don’t need to guess which way to block if someone crosses you up while you’re in blockstun. You do need to block high/low attacks correctly, though.

Also, When you pushblock a projectile it pushes the character away, not the projectile itself.

So unless Floating Bomb has a loose blockstring that has holes for the enemy to drop his guard, crossing up during a FB attack should NEVER work unless this game does not have absolute guard. Mashing won’t cause you to get hit until the blockstring is over.

So that’s why it’s VERY important that kanta-kun further explain how the crossup works.

I was saying maybe ag breaks the absolute guard.

but there is absolute gaurd, you can let go of the stick in a proton cannon

ok, I’ll have to re-check then. I’m almost sure he was simply blocking, but I can’t confirm this for you without going back there. we did it 2/3 times to make sure.

From what it looked like, block regularly, as soon as I teleport, it starts hitting. I’ll get back to you guys about this ASAP.

I was actually thinking that too…

Thanks man, i mean that would be crazy if it works normally like that. Not that i would mind :smiley:

would you mind testing it out with lockdown assists as well? such ass doom rocks, ammy ice bullets, Dorm’s dark portal…A friend of mine suggested to me that it might be a special feature for Floating Bomb only.

Also see if you can let go of block during Proton Cannon like the above guy said, in case they changed the block system for the build you played.

I don’t think absolute guard adds much to the game so it would be awesome if it was gone IMO.

I’m talking about absolute guard, not push block. That’s a whole different discussion though…

Oh my bad. Guess I’ll just delete my earlier post to avoid any flame wars…

You know what it would be epic if Dormammu is able to land stigma on an assist.

Holy shit yeah. I wonder if when its on you if you keep it when you switch or if you even can switch(since switching involves leavign the ground.) If you can lock in there assists that would be really cool though.

If tht works then She-Hulk should be able to dizzy assists. :amazed: loophole!!!

Dame where just that good lol.

I hope for the lock in, But from what I understand it should keep em from a switch as well.

— stigma? his lvl3?

EDIT: OOOOH, the lvl3 potc? do you want me to test that next time I get a chance to?

Please if you can. See if it the lvl3 POTC:
A. Locks in assist if you hit them?
B. Locks in the point character?
C. stays if they tag out?
D. hit’s OTG?
E. is still unblockable?

and does it hit while there on the ground?
