I won’t even be home to watch Evo unfortunately, much less be there. I’m going to be out of town trying to find a new place to live unfortunately.
Would you be interested in a list of things to test?

If I were there, I would so help out with testing. That reminds me: if his overall speed is faster, then does that mean his tri-jump is faster as well?
Anyone know if you can purification multiple times in the air? That would be amazing!
Played . Umvc3 this weekend at evo.
Dorm felt good.
Cr.l xx flame carpet cr. Flame carpet seems like block string.
Being able.to power up in the air is great, but if you just jump and do a “naked” power up dorm will sink to the ground, and be unable to block. You have to fly, power up, un-fly, to block air attacks. If release his dark dark spells., dorm will do the teleport animation and go straight down to the ground., and then release what every power you have stored.
yeah flames carpet can’t be used in the same way( anti-air) but I like the fact that it pushes people out farther, and he’s dark ports and pillars are faster.

Did you get to give aerial Purification a shot?
In Vanilla, there’s a 3-frame gap between c.L and Flame Carpet loops, but it seems like a blockstring - do you think that has changed?
Can you get 3 charges stocked before you leave Flight?
Any hint on c.M’s hitbox hitting small characters with greater ease?
I wish we could a got together before hand and made a list of things to test. I was playing trying the brows srk. so I could find out what everyone wanted to know but there was only like a 1 min gap between matches, so that didn’t work out so well.
question1: I did try to do the pillar in the air. I couldn’t get it to come out. maybe it’s a different motion? or maybe I just suck
question 2: I got 2 for sure. in theory you could stock 3 but I think your opponent would start to advance/hit you before that. so I would have to do some thing like, fly, dark spell, teleport, dark spell, unfly.
question 3: I really only played 2 people that: A. knew what they were doing B. let me test some things out. So when I did cr.m it hit, but that’s not saying much.
one last thing I did test was the Big D speical hahahaha. Dark dimension can still be followed up by a pillar xx CF OR tag into doc doom st.m
ghost rider’s whip assist is really fast and long reaching it also causes a wall bounce, so you can use it as a “beam” assist while teleporting with Dorm.
oh and just my random some random thoughts.
the systems changes(air xfactor, TAC) may have inadvertently hurt Dorm. air x factor gets rid of his old “death traps”.TAC, Any thing that takes any away meter from a Dorm team is not a good thing.
Air charges = Magneto’s boomerang move in MvC2.
I’m gonna input that by accident in the air sometimes, I know it. Except in UMvC3, it will get me killed.
Seriously, I think Dormammu is better without this in the game for that fact alone. Doing dark holes in the air is almost always a bad idea (unless you’re flying), so I don’t see how this is gonna be any different.
I like that you can release the charges in the air, and I’m pleased with his other improvements and not too mad about his nerfs, but I don’t really understand this one.
The only thing would be if you can somehow now charge one during an air combo or on your way down to get an extra charge in. It’s usually not too hard to get one in while you’re OTGing anyway, but now you might be able to get an extra.
EDIT: Just read the part about doing it while flying, that makes me feel better.
Alright, I added some basic structure to the thread, and added a new “Special Thanks” section - I hope this will encourage people to contribute. I won’t be able to maintain it as intensely as I did with MvC3.
Still amazed by the structure of this guide, excellent work Karst and thanks. It’s only fitting for the Dark Lord to have the best thread lol.
I may get a capture card too so I’ll be able to get some good quality vids up.
I would like to get one as well, but it’ll have to wait for now - too many expenses.
Thanks for the compliment. I’m going to try and make the Table of Contents more organized so people can find what they need easier, since the thread has become so huge.
If anyone has a chance can you please test. 0D3C, that move definitely needs a buff.
It’s definitely still blockable, but I don’t know anything beyond that.
Maybe GomuGomu could make a list of things that need testing in the main UMvC3 thread?
Is anyone else jealous that Dr. Strange gets a better teleport, traps, and assists than us?
/bitter
Nah, only because I’m going to be using him anyway lol. A lot of his tools looks like it’ll be a problem for Dorm, his Phoenix style teleport and counter super (Don’t know the properties) are going to put Dorm on the defensive and force him to attack, and that’s when Strange is going to bust out the traps. That’s my prediction on this matchup.
I wish I could disagree with you. Now that we know how Strange plays, I really think Dormammu deserves a tracking Purification assist, and I think it’s ridiculous that our Flame Carpet got nerfed. It at least needs to last 5 seconds now or be special-cancelable - I added that thought to the wishlist thread.
Oh, and color me offended:
That’s the first and last time Nemesis gets to touch Dormammu on my monitor.
Yeah it does seem like Strange has been designed to counter Dorm and the nerfs have now been put into perspective in regards to this matchup. At least damage is in Dorm’s favour, so if you catch him once, he’s gonna pay for it.
Yeah, but Dormammu’s X-Factor damage is waaaay down. XF1 barely provides a boost, so we can’t burn out an annoying point character anymore, and XF2/3 are significantly less damage as well. I will miss Dark Matter, Dark Hole, Chaotic Flame (XFC), Dark Hole, Chaotic Flame, and dealing like 1 million damage in XF3. That’s how you start a comeback!
I’m reminded of how Seth Killain said they wanted Iron Man to be more than a watered down Magneto with a better assist. I’m worried that Dormammu is now just a watered down Dr. Strange with worse assists. :-/
Though if Dr. Strange doesn’t have an 8-way air dash, my worries will be gone.
I maybe be leaving this dimension soon …
All who betray the lord of the dark dimension shall be crushed.
Edit: I think Strange might not have an 8-way air dash.
