"We must get back through the portal and CLOSE IT!" Doctor Strange Team Thread

Yo Nerub, just for you :slight_smile:

There are more ways. But it is definetely viable to combo into 7 rings. That is actually REALLY old tech…

Look how much damage that super does! I wonder if there is a way to time it for after Flame Loops. Something like Joe Combo into Six Cannon, into Flame Loops - finish with that - do the same amount of damage as a level three for one bar.

You think I should use Storm on point then? I love so much the Spell of Vishanti DHC into Hail Storm and whirlwind assist :frowning: But I have some Hail Storm combos into Flame Loops, using missiles. I’ll try!

It’s worth a try. The way I see it is like FChamp’s Dormammu team. Both Strange and Dorm don’t have the greatest start of rounds so you DHC into the character and use your points assist after you’ve killed a character. Storm is hard to block, if you can get the first hit that generates one bar you can DHC into Strange build more bars and then keep him out to use Whirlwind (Disrupter for FChamp) to help your ‘second character’. I’m not 100% sure it’ll work - but if anyone can solve Storm’s damage output its Strange’s Flame Loops. I think the problem is that she doesn’t necessarily build a bar in her BnBs. There’s very few people playing her… So not a lot of tech has been evolved. Either way, worth a shot.

Low tier version of FChamp’s team? That sounds hot! There is also a nasty setup for punishing whiffs, call Dr. Strange for Eye of Agamotto assist then use Storm foul wind (or fair wind). It will pull the oponnent right into the eye! Storm is so fast that she can convert from miles away, if it hits. With the right position it can crossup too. Cool tech for this underused moves.

Thats a misconception people have. Strange on point isnt too shabby at all.
Comes with experience though.
3 Things can happen.

  1. You get mauled from ppls lack of respect
  2. You force respect by XF killing off the first touch everytime
  3. People now respect ya options and give you space

lol Typically how it goes

This is wrong in many levels. If you activate XF Lv1 with strange on reaction when blocking what are your options? ground grab? cr.L? The other player can also use XF and block OR use command grabs or another divekick and kill you at once. Wolverine/Nova/Magneto etc wont give you a chance a get the “first touch”. Playing Strange on point is not good

I think he may be referring to blowing them up with a SoV or getting a confirm, XFC, then killing the character off one touch seeing as how that’s almost impossible to mess up. Not just XFC’ing outright like an idiot.

yeah thats why i said "*Wolverine/Nova/Magneto etc wont give you a chance a get the “first touch” *

Except Cr. M beats all of Wolverine’s options.

cr.M has startup

people saying that Strange beats Wolverine at the start of the round should go play good wolverine players like PR Rog and get their respective 0-10 results, then reevaluate what is wrong in the matchup.

8 frames. Cr. M has a startup of **8 **frames. The fastest version of berzerker slash, doesn’t startup until after 18 frames. His dive-kick? Also 8 frames, Fast, but as long as his leg isn’t inside of your hurtbox when you press M, you’re gonna beat it.

The “Play the Best Representation of a Character” argument is sooooooooooooooooooooooo useless. Everyone knows that Wolverine is top tier at the start of the round. Nothing will ever change that short of something game-breaking. No one is saying that Strange is better than him at the start of the match either. The only point anyone has tried to make about Strange in reference to Wolverine is that, after an analysis of tool sets, Strange is better equipped to handle a rush-down character like Wolverine than a good chunk of the cast, and that Strange’s moveset effectively shut Wolverine down, other than maybe a SJ dive-kick.

so you press cr.M and whiff, what’s next? Strange die; from the opening Wolvie has the matchup won cause all he has to do is make Strange block something, then lots of mixups until Strange gets opened up. Not saying its a 10-0 matchup, it should be something like 7-3 cause sometimes people get lucky, but why should i play a character in a position where he is in obvious disadvantage? And its not just wolverine, its almost every good point character, they beat Strange in the opening.

theoretically, at best the cr.M and divekick will trade (from the opening), which means Wolvie can go and dive kick again cause Strange will be on stager. BTW i made that list of stuff that beat cr.M

i quoted Saga, he says Strange beat wolverine starting the match and that Strange should be played on point…

Lol, i’m done.

St. M - Mystic Sword L + assist… shuts down Wolverines options at the very start unless you stand right next to him. Then ya options become impact palm/os throw or st. L - Mystic Sword L vs his fuzzy guards.

Either way Wolverine doesn’t beat Strange free. Even with Akuma as an assist.

Once eye of agamotto is out the match up is even worse for Wolverine. Its a 7-3 match up in Dr Stranges favor.
I played this match up enough times to know it. I used to get owned free until I learned the match up.

Wolverine is incredibly free to Dr Strange
Strange players will forever remain free unless they learn the damn match ups

Tbh, EoA is the answer to most rushdown options in this game, lol. That hitbox is just ridiculous and perfect against divekicks/tridashers.

Thats stating the obvious. What you do before you get an eye of agamotto is the knowledge people are lacking.
St.M is fucking godlike. It catches alot of characters pre-jump frames ex Wolverine. Its not rocket science, its not hard to space. It propels you forward so its deceptively good vs stubby hitboxes that dont penetrate its range on top of being 6 frames.

s.M is good, but it whiff on small characters next to Strange. If i count the amount of times i have used cr.M in front of Frank and it fails i would get salty now

yeah once Strange put his defense its ok for him in the matchup. In fact, if Strange can make Wolvie block he will do good, cause cr.M, cr.H, EOA is a safe blockstring against Wolverine (If he dont activate XF or his Lv3 hyper of course). But starting the round is another story, thats why Strange should be played second like Dormammu

Uh, yeah, I wasn’t trying to argue or anything with you. I was just saying how good Eye of Agamotto is.
