Jumping S will as well thought it’s a lot harder to time correctly.
Are you sure you linked me to the right thing? Bennett’s Dormammu didn’t do anything in those matches. I decided to add both of F. Champ’s series from this weekend as a start.
1D2C and 2D1C don’t always come out with Stalking Flare. If you push the buttons simultaneously, you won’t lose your charge. It’s pretty easy to mess up, though. Take a look through the OP - there’s lots of stuff. 1D2C can be canceled on frame 1 into Stalking Flare regardless, so there’s no real use to plinking them that I can think of.
Haha. Since messing it up means eating 400K+ in Soul Fists, I can’t see myself risking it.
Yeah, I realized that after watching it again. And I was going to suggest F.Champ’s matches. His match with MarlinPie looked like a Dormammu 101 seminar.
Yeah that match with marlinpie shows how to work the screen with dorm and also shows you what not to do (MarlinPie lol)
The FChamp vs Marlinpie was amazing play by FChamp but youve got to remember, Doom is absoulety free to Dorm. Pillars+Missiles and spells just destroy Dooms movement. Marlins only chance was the DoomAmmy THC but it didnt work out.
Yep , what cheech said . Its very easy to look like a lock down / zoning master playing Dorm v doom , he is free to zoning.
Agreed ^
Super free matchup once space is established.
Since we’re talking about matchups, maybe (with the help of this thread) we could address issues you all think Dorm has with other characters and we can work on coming up with solutions to boost the Dormammu meta game. If nothing else, I’d love to hear some personal experience from Dormammu players and what they think he struggles with.
He gets mauled pretty hard, has a pretty tough time dealing with characters to mash fast high priority buttons in his face. Very momentum based character. Solution is pretty simple, run him behind a fast strong battery like Magneto and DHC him in with Stalking Flare and get his game going, whether it be with Missiles zoning or Disruptor teleport crossups.
As far as the meta goes, it seems imperative that if you’re going to play Dormammu at a high level and want to succeed, you need to play him on 2nd and with Magneto on point. Magnetic Shockwave -> Stalking Flare DHC gives Dormammu so much space to work with. Ahhh, it feels so good to see FChamp use Dorm again.
Yep Magneto/Dorm/Doom may be the best Dorm team in the game as it provides absolutely everything Dorm needs. You also get Magneto with his best assist which is missiles. Definitely a top tier zoning team.
Just building two meters then baiting them towards you for a shockwave>stalker flare DHC that sends them full screen is enough to win the match. If youre trying to make a Dorm 2nd team Its really important to make sure your first character has a screen filling hyper that leaves enough blockstun to guarantee a safe stalker flare. Its what I do with my Doom/Dorm/Sent team too. Photon array is similar to shockwave with the advantages being that you can do it in the air but the disadvantage being that it doesnt push back like shockwave.
So many of Dorm’s best teams have Magneto on them, regardless of where you put Dorm:
Point: Dorm/Dante/Mags
Second: Mags/Dorm/Doom
Anchor: Mags/Sent/Dorm
It’s more than just assist + teleport - it’s one of the most synergistic combinations in the game.
My worst matchups are Dante and Vergil. Teleports mean I can’t zone, and their hitboxes are better than mine so I can’t rush. Very uphill battle.
You just need a hyper that clears the screen. Photon Array -> Stalking Flare would work just as well, as does Firebrand’s Dark Fire (which is what I often use), Okami Shuffle, Hyper Sentinel Force, etc.
It’s pretty much the same as every other beam for him, only Magneto is the best point character of all the beam assist holders.
You know what’s another good “Dorm on 2nd” team: Magneto/Dormammu/Akuma. If you’re not fond of using Doom or Sentinel, then this is a good way to go.
All three can hold their own as anchors if needed. Besides the defensive/offensive capabilities of the Tatsu assist, you can do Chaotic Flame DHC into Messatsu Gouhadou beam anywhere.
That does sound pretty scary actually. Akuma would also help a point Dormammu overcome the start-of-round stuff that holds him back. Definitely an underrated combination.
Everyone knows Dorm/Disruptor is dangerous, but Dorm/Tatsu is just as dangerous once you figure out the proper range and time to do teleport mixups with it.
Akuma is BFF with Dorm for defense in my opinion.
Just got back to playing the game about a week ago after a really long hiatus (graduation! etc.)
I theorized that the best dorm team would be mags/dorm/doom and f champ is definitely proving it.
I would recommend every single dorm player to watch his match against marlinpie…
Personally, I can’t play magneto at all and I still want to maintain my dorm/doom shell.
What would be a good alternative for the point position? Should I learn magneto?
At this point, I’m using Task/dorm/doom to some success and I have a pocket Trish for my Trish/deadpool/doom team.
Basically, what are the best characters to fill the role of x/dorm/doom?
Taskmaster, Deadpool, Hawkeye, Dante, Morrigan are all very good. You could use just about anyone but those are probably the best if you want to zone. Ive seen Hulk/Dorm/Doom and Zero/Dorm/Doom work really well also. Vergil, Wesker and Spencer also probably work really well if you want to rush down.
Wolverine works surprisingly. I would personally run Wolv/Dorm/Doom but I don’t really like Doom and there’s a just a few things which Wolverine can’t get out of Missiles which Iron Fist does provide for him. Wolverine can go nuts with Missiles behind him and Dorm’s Dark Hole gives him full combos off his ground and normal throws and late combo extension, but he can’t ToD properly when he gets hits with Missiles or Dark Hole, so it becomes an issue there.
lol I was going to suggest ask Cheech but I see there’s no need.
Aren’t there other, possibly better choices to make space for Dormammu that don’t require meter that would allow you to play him on point? I definitely agree about full screen super dhc’s being pretty clutch. But personally I’d rather have Dorm + assist for the opening gambit instead of relying on building meter. He’s just so mean when you fill in his gaps with two assists like Missles and Rapid slash.
Then again…maybe I’m just hating because I don’t want to pick up Magneto.
