The Ultimate Dormammu Thread

It’s cool, zero sux anyways, use firebrand lol

So anyone having success with good assist for Dorm? Right now Hawkeye arrows are a must for extending combos and keeping pressure on. But what works best for the other slot? keep away assist like Peekabo (Trish) or something to try and lock them down like Striders TP kick?

Yeah, I’m in a similar boat I’d say. Just magic series into Purification>ChaoticFlame, I’m actually tinkering with alittle Firebrand too atm, think of kicking X23 off my team in favor of him. How’s that Morrigan battery for Stalking Flare abuse tactic coming along so far?

i have to agree firebrand/dorm is a nice combo, anyone know if its still possible to link two dark holes with flight cancelling?

Ended up figuring out a VERY insulting combo with Dormammu and Frank today that makes some interesting use of having a flame carpet just off-screen.

This combo is corner specific and does not work on every character (tested with Tron, Rocket Raccoon, and Chun-Li so far, and only did not work for Chun):

(j:h:), j:s:, :d::m: :d::h: :s:, super-jump, j:m: j:m: j:h: j:s:, land, :a1:(Shopping Cart) :df::h:, :s:, super-jump, j:h: j:s:, land (*), :s:, super-jump, j:h: j:s:, land, :df::h: (*), :qcf::atk::atk:, (*) :qcf::atk::atk:

Total damage: A little over 1,000,000

(*) - All parts marked like this have the enemy “bouncing” oddly off of the flame carpet in the corner. Characters this does not work on get hit normally by the flame carpet rather than spending a long time bouncing off of it.

EDIT: Decided to do some more thorough testing to see who it does and does not work on. Other than Tron, it seems to only work on smaller characters. After it failed on many different average sized characters, I stuck to trying it out on those of extreme size or odd stature, and got the following results:

Works On:

Amaterasu
Arthur
Firebrand
Rocket Raccoon
Tron
Wolverine
Viewtiful Joe

Doesn’t Work On:

Chun-Li, Chris, Dark Phoenix, Deadpool, Doctor Strange, Frank West, Ghost Rider, Hawkeye, Hsien-ko, Hulk, MODOK, Nemesis, Nova, Phoenix, Phoenix Wright, Sentinel, She-Hulk, Spider-Man, Strider Hiryu, Super Skrull, Taskmaster, Vergil, X-23, Zero

Probably does not work on anyone not listed. Thus, basically just a stylish way to kill off any of the mentioned characters if you feel like slapping em around.

Firebrand’s parabolic swoop attack (aka the :h: Demon Missile) can be charged up, and when it’s fully charged it’s unblockable, like C. Viper’s Focus Attack.

so how would you go about setting up this un-blockable with dorm?

Well, I imagine you would call Black Hole assist on an incoming character to cover some of the charge time, similar to what you saw in Vanilla with C. Viper and Amaterasu’s ice shot assist.

You got a video? I want to see this. Is the flame carpet there throughout the whole combo to keep them bouncing for the relaunch?

Can you follow up with a combo after the swoop?

just do mission 9, has the same thing with offscreen carpet.

Firebrand’s Demon Missile H is unblockable when charged. As long as you can get Dark Hole on someone, you can charge it up most of the way while they’re in blockstun.

I’ve yet to regret Dark Harmonizer.

Oh, it works marvelously. Even better in Ultimate.

I would love a video of this.

Yup! Charged swoop causes a spinning knockdown on aerial characters and a stagger against grounded ones. Tons of time for followup.

I can make one in about a week’s time! I ordered one of the AverMedia Game Capture HD devices shown on a Wednesday Night Fights stream a couple weeks ago, has not arrived just yet.

Planning to compile a combo video of sorts for the team I have been working on anyways, so may as well include all of them together.

I do love how Wolverine is classified as small enough for the combo to work though… revenge for all those days of Berserker Slash on poor Dormammu in vanilla!

Ha nice, take it with ur phone or something for now just so we get an idea. unless u want to wait till u get the full hd set up thing haha

Hey i was messing around with dorm and i was experimentin with his liberation in the air and i came up with a few other uses for it

Tac combos- similar to how noel brown tacs into wesker and teleports down this could be used the same way with charged liberation spells
Instant teleporting downward-Quick change of direction to dodge things like ryu’s shinku if he’s in the air in ur face and punish at the same time
Possible mixups-teleporting down and crossing under someone attempting to super jump at you also to add with the ability for liberation 2c1d and 2d1c to come out no matter what this could be a way to punish someone who thinks they are about to punish you
Loops- there may be some way to make a loop out of it depending on charecters xfactor and other variables

This is just a few ideas but it also depends on what spells you have stored because you cant act instantly when your doin thi

How the hell do you fly around so fast? I keep seeing Dorms zipping around during flight like theyre mageneto but when i try to air dash out of fly it is no where near as agile. I see a lot of dorms zig zagging forward. What might I be doing wrong?

Well, here it is via my ancient TV Tuner… XD Better than a phone, but it is interlaced to all heck and the sound usually desyncs or start crackling.

The timing seems a little tighter for Wolverine on the second Chaotic Flame than the others this works on, so if you do the first after the flame carpet only hits him three times this gives you much longer to use the second one. Also I did not mash hard enough to get over 1,000,000, but you get the idea. XD

Very nice. I was trying it out earlier and got it to work on wolverine and I manged to get one self relaunch on ghost rider! That’s pretty awesome tho.

-You know if this works with any assist that picks them up off the carpet or only certain ones?
-ALSO, have you tried this using Dorms new flight combo with a dark hole? I wonder if maybe getting 2 of those in there instead of the regular 123 combo would add more damage or if the if the dark holes would scale too much. Maybe try taking out the dark holes but using the flight combo to get in 2 additional fierces in there. Let us know if you get to try it out, i’ll try it later, just been kind of busy this week.

and do you know how to fly faster? i see all these dorms zipping around the screen and air dashing during flight doesnt seem to give the same mobility

:uf:+:atk::atk: xx :df:+:atk::atk:

You can cancel a forward moving air dash during flight with another as long as it’s not the same direction.

That combo is disgusting.

Guess i gotta practice more, Maybe I did it too sow or too fast. Thanks

Amazing thread. I’ll do what I can to contribute. I’ve got quite a bit on my hands in terms of compiling info for another community (Tekken), but once I’m done with that, I’m all in on this one. :tup:

The new Dormammu is a threat! His flight combos do very good damage and he’s very mobile and less limited in Ultimate. While i was experimenting in the lab with air liberation i found that i could immediately cancel into a hyper combo, allowing him to keep all of his charges. I’ve even been able to do this with 2R1B and 1R2B. I don;t know if anyone found this out yet so i thought i’d let you guys know.

The only thing i don’t like is that they nerfed his ending. Bcuz honestly, Dormammu can poop out a demon stronger than Akuma.
