Yea he had that, not sure why doom dropped out of the lvl 3 combo but that really sucked for him. I don’t get why he runs trish/doom/wesker since he always hard tags wesker in whenever he gets down to doom/wesker.

Because it’s ultimate. But really because he went for a combo that doesn’t work ever, aka throw into everything into level 3. That will never hit. Runs that order for the level 3 wesker, and probably for the random situations where you can get a free unblockable with doom/wesker.

But why then does he almost always tag in wesker and run doom on anchor? It just seems odd, I’ve thought about it from a bunch of perspectives and it really doesn’t compute. You run doom on anchor right?

I run doom on anchor because wesker is just an assist to me. Also because I always have

He runs Trish Doom Wesker because Wesker is the insurance policy, obviously.
Doom is good but he isn’t LVL3 Wesker… cmon meow.
He tags in Wesker sometimes because he wants wesker + the beam = free command throws all day + death combos on every char.
If Trish gets bopped and Wesker is coming in and gets factored, his team has Victor left.
Level 3 Vic is not the powerhouse Alberto has proven to be in every tourn. we’ve seen so far.
That’s the gist AFAI can see it.

I don’t know why he doesn’t just run trish/wesker/magneto, I mean lvl 3 eric is pretty boss and the initial scare surrounding his nerfs has pretty much subsided at this point. But w/e works for him, the hell do I know?

Btw have you guys seen this http://www.twitch.tv/frieda0914/b/313785976?t=37m13s just saw it this morning, turns out magneto can use his attraction move to cancel out of blockstun.

Brazzers: Putting DP back into fighting games.

Here are some reasons not to run Magneto.

  • ASSIST: Magneto’s Disruptor Assist was changed to the Jab Disruptor assist. It does not hold people in the air for as long and therefore makes hit confirms harder with Trish as well as Wesker.
  • Doom’s beam has the high durability needed to knock out drones, and it holds people in the air forever.
    This is particularly amazing for Wesker as it leads to inescapable air throws and meaty command throws upon landing (the throw will scoop someone during the startup frames of their jump should they choose to upback)
  • Doom’s beam can more easily be used in combo enders than the Magnetic Disruptor (this is a moot point, you should never be doing gunshot beam -> ender combos in Ultimate, it has been well established that these are not effective in the way they were in Vanilla.
  • POINT: Doom’s combos off the RDK Special do more damage and build more meter with less of an execution threshhold than the appropriate Magneto combos.
  • Doom has strong mixup potential with Peakaboo and more damaging DHCs (DHC into tempest causes flipout too often for it to be viable)
  • Doom can very easily safely DHC Wesker in via finger lasers or sphere flame. Magneto’s Tempest does not provide Wesker adequate cover, and if someone blocks Shockwave in the air at normal jump height that’s an automatic punish on the incoming Wesker regardless of what super Wesker uses to tag in.
  • Doom + peakaboo assist = life regain for Trish or Wesker in ways that Magneto is not. If Doom is full screen, calls peakaboo and starts running beams, you can effectively punch through anything that is coming at you and regain life.
  • Neither Doom nor Magneto are the best go-to LVL3 characters. Doom can get in that ass to an extent but he can’t do shit like kill you for blocking a jab no questions asked.
    Don’t believe me? input stand jab and forward, then towards, then half circle back Jab while you’re in level 4 XFC with Albert.
    See what happens :wink:

Because doom is better suited for that team. not to mention better combos off the unblockable

Im not telling Joker about this… and neither should anyone else.
