Someone who knows how to use Dormammu was just picking him on the Unity stream, and wow, he’s so much stronger now just with the speed buff. He was all over the place. I’m very pleased.
new dormammu is looking SUPER bananas. they took a lot of limitations off of his abilities, and now he’s close to what he could’ve been in vanilla. this game is gonna be filled to the brim with new cheap tactics (but require skill)and i love it.
so whats the news on dormammu?
anynew buffs surface?
Doctor Strange definitely doesn’t have an airdash, so we still have the tri-jump advantage.
But that matchup looks like hell. Does the counter projectile super counter flame carpet?
Plus the nerfs to ridiculous rushdown; I am very excited about UMvC3 Dormammu.
I’m sure we’d put them up if there were…
Yup, and it’s not like Dr. Strange can superjump and lay traps with ease against us. I’m not terribly worried about the matchup. We can outrush him and make his zoning risky. Especially with my team; I think Dr. Strange will be pretty free to it.
It probably does, but when would that realistically happen?
I like what they’re doing with Dormammu: His carpet is less brain-dead defense because there’s no more dangerous brain-dead offense. His dark spell teleportation could probably be used with Doom Missiles for extended combos midscreen. Dark spells in the air makes his runaway sexy. And Stalking Flare ending frames looked faster to me, so more crazy DHC potential!
I had visions of Strange jumping on a flame carpet and countering, which doesn’t make any sense now that I think about it. Oops.
Meh… Don’t worry so much about the Dr.Strange Match up I think Strange and Dormammu will work wonderfully together. My new main team is going to be Ghostrider/Strange/Dormammu I think it will be the main cause of broken controllers worldwide. Their zoning potential and annoyance factor seems like it will be off the charts.

This thread is AMAZING!!! Good stuff Karsticles
I’m new to this thread but, great stuff here and table of contents great idea for helping out people who wanna learn Dark Dimension Ruler. Hope I can get use to his changes and I heard he is a lot faster with the backdash movements?
Hey karst, so you definitely consider dorm buffed in ultimate, even with the flame carpet nerf?
I don’t see how anyone could regard Dormammu as not being buffed in Ultimate.
snadmonkey thought that losing the lingering flame carpet after hit would make dorm easier to handle regardless of buffs, but that might just be for his specific team, i dunno.
Did any of you watch the norcal 2 stream last night? there were so many dormammus on stream. I was really digging it.
Champ was saying how he prefers vanilla dorm over ultimate dorm just because of the flame carpet. I think he’s overreacting. one big nerf < many really good nerfs. Anyway, who else likes nova as a partner for dorm? I really wanna use his aegis shield to protect dorm along with a flame carpet and just camp my ass off with spells, dark holes, pillars, etc, and wreak havoc.
I AM EXCITE
Quoted for Truth. Dorm looks ridiculously good in Ultimate… watching the stream last night I dont care what anyone says his specials are faster. At one point champ had pillars just bursting through the ground one after the other.
I agree with him on that point. Dorm already had a tough time keeping people off of him and flame carpet trades at least made people respect you somewhat. Any character with long range normals and beam assists are gonna have a field day with this. I’m not saying he’s bad, but he’s not going to be as godlike as everyone thinks.
Imo his best buff is :l: linking into :h: followed by 1 frame liberations. The amount of matches that would of been won by Dormammu players if his shit didn’t whiff all the time would be ridiculous. Can’t wait to abuse that shit on Zero, who I already need some assistance from god to lad a clean hit on.
My fave Dormammu buffs is the cancelable Finger shot, and the Liberation in the air, some players do not under stand how mixing that up with mass changes while Stalking Flare is chasing down an character is going to put so much on the Opp.
The Buff Im looking forward to the most is being able to do the TAC specific combo (flight mode 2 dark holes) as a normal B&B if all is right.
Plus c.M just got so much better against characters like Amaterasu. NO AIR DASHES FOR YOU! No more chicken blocking to extinguish Flame Carpet.
Honestly I rarely use Fire Carpet outside of OTG and resets in corners, I dont see this at all effecting my game.
I completely agree on the priority of the quality of buffs. c.L to c.H is going to save soooooo many matches. the 1 frame 2D1C/2C1D are icing on the cake, giving me ideas of how to punish hypers ( I woudl happily trade a piece of a hyper for my 2D1C as it opens up full combos with assists helping.
To be honest after watching this tournament Dorm improve nicely, now you can dark spells in the air freaking nice. Meteors looking sweet to I heard its was slow little.
