Yea its seems like people are simultaneously overrating and underrating Doom’s point capabilities. At this point it is pretty much a fact that Doom’s point game is very solid. Top 10. But not top 5. Small list of character’s who I feel are clearly better than Doom on point you say?
No order!
Zero - Fuck this character. Lighting, Buster, massive damage hurr durr etc.
Dorm - Another character capcom thought would be good to give major buffs to for some reason. He was better than Doom in Vanilla and got more buffs than Doom in Ultimate
Viper - Pretty self explanatory she’s broken. Not theory in the least.
Dante - Still a jack of all trades but now with better reset options and slightly lower damage output
Magneto - Still ridiculous just requires work now. He has an easier time getting hits then Doom. Disruptah and Magnetic Blast > Plasma Beam and Photon shot in their neutral games. Still has a great damage output. Attraction, Repulsion and Gravitation are broken but most Mag’s are not abusing it yet. Better grabs and resets.
Wesker - Mortals are so weak. You are nothing to him.
Spencer - This dude fucking hurts. Also he can’t lose because he has a bionic arm.
Now here is were I think the split is. I feel like a person could argue for some characters like…
Hawkeye - Gimlet…oh and he seems to have really good match-ups against a lot of higher characters
Deadpool - Why are people still sleeping on this lunatic is beyond me. He pretty much has all the characteristics of a A+ tier character, except for the massive damage output. My deadpool bnb with my old team did 800k with 1 bar which is very solid.
Vergil - Assist fix his biggest problems and he has some very dirty reset/mixups. A very important fact is that EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER IN THIS GAME HAS TO RESPECT the “GODSLASH” aka s.C. Also with excess meter he can turn on DT and become one of the best characters in the game.
Wolverine - Same old derp and he still does not give any fucks.
Strider - Think Zero without the LOL damage output but with two of the best tracking teleports in the game. The sky is truly the limit for this character imo.
Firebrand - I have only fought a few really good ones but he is very scary. The whole one touch kill your entire team set-up is match practical which is kinda silly.
Trish - A tri-jump, amazing normals, dive-kick, traps that give her combo, frustrating runaway. Oh and she is a DMC character so there is that too.
Taskmaster - Think of Zero without the unblockable mix-ups and Lighting but has more life and better defensive options.
Thor - Buy Odin’s beer.
Jill - Damn those teleport…where the hell is she? Did that cross-up?? Was that an overhead?
Nova - Grown ass man, do the Nova Force etc…
MODOK - I could be overrating him, I will admit that. But he still scares the shit out of me personally.
Character’s I feel Doom’s clearly is better than on point but only by a small margin.
-Viewtiful Joe
-Super Skrull
-Felicia
-Hulk
-She Hulk
-Haggar
-Chris
-Akuma
-Spiderman
- X-23
-Morrigan
-Storm
-Cap
So it should by now be a fact that Doom point potential lies somewhere in between those first two list. Thoughts?
