IMO, the best assist for doom is Guile/Nash’s AAA. It just does wonders against sentinel; Doom is all about the angles and Sentinel just takes that all away, Guile just brings that back for some reason.
The best Doom team? I don’t know, Doom has problems with the big four, and they all differ. Doom needs Cyclops to fight Mags/Psy, he needs one to commando/blackheart to deal with storm and sometimes with cable, he needs Guile to prevent the stomping of sentinel etc. So it all depends.
Although, i say the best is Doom/Storm/Clops
Storm[a]: for dhcing and rush aiding
Cyclops**: for the multi-purpose AAA.
I think we’re in a fair agreement though that any strong team with doom on point is usually with cyke AA assist.
Anyway, I still like Doom/BH/cyke. Doom/BH trap just zones like a mother fucker. That team just has problems with Mag, and from time to time cable depending on who is fighting who. Team usually rapes storm or sent though.
Also, quick new question for this thread. When playing team Clockw0rk when do you usually start Strider first. I’ve heard mixed opinions, I usually only start Strider if I need to put him against a cable or sometimes Sent.
i’m pretty sure all three were mentioned. i think omega red is pretty cool, but my skills with him aren’t that great. what assist do you use with him, anyways? i’ve tried his AAA, but it’s not that good. his ground assist seems kind of convenient at times too. i’m just not that experienced with him…
Basically, anytime it’s a bad matchup for sentinel, start strider and vice-versa. For instance, when playing matrix and they start Storm, I start strider because I like to have sentinel to fight sentinel. But i generally just start strider against Cable because that’s all my sentinel really has to worry about.
Cyclops will always be every ones AAA, but i prefer Doom/Guile rather than Doom/Cyclops and almost all the AAA’s. Doom really is all about the angles and Guile just adds to that. The direction and the size of his AAA is almost unavoidable against sentinel, and it really helps allot against Sentinel’s stomping.
it depends who i am up against, if i am up against team scrub or Ironman based teams then i start of with strider but anything else i start with sentinel.
Do you think Strider/Storm-Y/Doom is better than Strider/Storm-A/Doom?
no. Storm will get torn up. it seems like a good idea at first; but you’ll have storm raped by the time she’s supposed to fight. Just keep in mind that the priority of Strider’s jumping fierces is soooo high that if used correctly they can compensate for a lack of an AAA.
Also, if I want something to be an AAA with angles, I go with cammy.
NOT TO PUT DOWN THE S/D TEAM BUT I GET BORED PLAYING THIS TEAM SOMETIMES. TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH WHEN I PLAY THIS TEAM EVEN IF I WIN 20 TIMES IN A ROW, PEOPLE DON’T GIVE THAT MUCH RESPECT. I DONT CARE THOUGH, BUT IM LOOKING INTO A NEW TRAP TEAM, SO SEARCHING FOR NEW CHARACTERS I STUMBLED ON RUBY/DOOM. AND I STARTED PLAYING THIS TEAM IN THE ARCADE AND GETTING EXCELLENT
RESULTS. THE SHIPPING ABILITY IN THIS TEAM IS SIMPLY STUPID,
I MEAN ONCE YOU CATCH THEM IN THE RUBY/DOOM TRAP YOU JUST SEE THEIR LIFE METER GO DOWN FAST AND CONSTANTLY.
YOU JUST DO C.RH (WITH DOOM) INTO SUBLIMATION AND EVEN IF THEY PUSH BLOCK YOU CAN STILL GET BACK AT THE CHARACTER AND CONTINUE THE TRAP, THE REASSON IS THAT RUBY REGAINS MOBILITY BEFORE SUBLIMATION ENDS SO SHE CAN MOVE TOWARDS THE CHARACTER PERFORM ANOTHER COMBO END IT IN SUBLIMATION AND KEEP THEM IN THE TRAP WILE DOOM SHIPS THE HELL OUT OF THEM.
I DON’T KNOW IF YOU GUYS MIGHT AGREE WITH ME OR NOT BUT I THINK THE RUBY/DOOM TRAP SHOULD BE LOOKED AT. SO BEFORE YOU GUYS BEGIN THE TRASHING PLEASE TRY IT OUT, AND DO TELL IF YOU THINK THIS TEAM ITS NOT AS GOOD AS THE STRIDER/DOOM TEAM, AND WHY.
Bison’s teleport has instant invincibility like Spiral’s, so you canuse it to bait AHVB etc like her. Other than that, good space control and some good fundamental stuff…crouching Fierce launcher beats everything, super sets up good DHCs, so good damage potential, etc. I dunno if flight mode is with anything, though. Viscant mentioned most of the stuff, though.
You know what’s really powerful… Viscant’s HiV avatar is powerful…
hey guys, for about 8 mounths all ive been dong is practicing with strider, and its time to do that with sent. ive found to be good with sent, u must USE THE ALL POWERFUL FLIGHT MODE!!!11one
but i dont know ow to use this with sentinal with dooms assist.what r some good things or combos to do in flight mode with doom?
i was jsut watching the clovkw0rk at evo video and i noticed that at one point in time during the frist match, psylock missed a varible counter and she got hit by orbs, is this because clock did a c.hk? or can u do that with any c att with strider? thanks
ok, there are 2 counters to psy in that match. the first one would have ended the match for cl0ck had not messed up and did ragnarok. the second looked as though it was anticipated and pushblocked. The second looked weird though, like she somehow got higher than usual.
i guess i diddent notice the pushblock i did however notice that psy did go really high the secound time. i thought that was weird. anyone able to explain that one? explain the mess up with orbs and ragnarok, how would he have died if he hadent messed up? was doom out while mags was out?i cant remember.
im guessing that if he didnt do Ragnorak on accident instead of Ouro he was Strider would have been finished because he probably would have been caught in psylocks special (dont know what its called ) and he probably would have DHC’d into Storms hailstorm killing Strider. Correct me if im wrong… (wish my mistakes were as lucky as his :lol: )
ooooooooooooooooooo!!! that part of the match. i thought it was in the begining of the match and he messed up on orbs right after he threw the tiger and storm grabed him. wow, im lame.
Im wondering if IM has been mentioned as a 3rd character in this thread? Ive been fooling around wit IM/Strider/Doom,and Strider/IM/Doom and I found that it can be kinda effective.
Actually, I may not be clock, but i wouldn’t be surprised if the Ragnorok was an accident. Even if it was, it’s still dope. If it wasn’t, big props to clock. However, even if Clock canceled into orbs, he would’ve knocked psylocke out of the super. So either way, Clock would’ve had it. Josh’s best bet there would’ve been to DHC to storm ASAP, but then get storm trapped in the process.
Yeah, even if Strider went into Orbs those shits wouldv’e still knocked psy out. Because he was on the ground with some space between him and psy there was a second or two to react. He probably would have just jumped and blocked the psy butterflies while shooting orbs at her. If she DHCed he still would trap storm.Anyone hear or see the ClockW0rk match at evo where the controllers got pulled out. Clock was cheated out of that shit supposedly.
Just keep in mind that the priority of Strider’s jumping fierces is soooo high that if used correctly they can compensate for a lack of an AAA.
