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

“I will draw upon our strength” or something like that afaik.

I’m with a new team. Wolverine/Nova/Strange. It’s far better for online gameplay since Magneto sucks online.
Wolverine is pretty confortable with Centurion Rush and Bolts. He can convert into fatal claw loops (only in the corner though) with both assists, and crossup as well. If Logan dies you still have one of the best shells in the game, Nova/Strange. And since it has been months that I’m playing Strange I’m pretty confortable with him on anchor too. This team is almost a Wolverine/Doom/Vergil with cooler characters!
Just saying, we all thought anchor Strange sucked. While he is not the best anchor, he is still better than anchor Doom, for example. I think that I’ll follow tortonon’s steps and use Magneto/Doom/Strange instead of Magneto/Strange/Doom. We all want to actually play Strange (on point or second) but when you don’t have an anchor like Vergil, or a GTFO assist like Haggar, things get really difficult, specially for me since I suffer with execution and fast reactions (specially for plink dashes and blocking. If I could pull off plink dashes everytime, it would be easier to create space and set up my stuff). I refuse to play Vergil, so I’m into XF3 Strange :smiley:

Nah, the only way I put him to anchor was that his incoming is free, and that he is not available for DHC after the double-assisted BnB ends in the magnetic tempest :/. I’m either trying to bring him in asap if I lose Magneto, or bringing him in after I kill the first character in the opponent’s team to run Strange/Doom/Magnus :smiley:

gdlk n_n

I retire all I said, after some fights I saw that anchor Strange sucks LOLOLOL
Just kidding, but seriously, I really want to use him on the second spot. I got used to it. His incoming is free, but there are some things you can do on reaction like air IP, air S, Flight, SoV and Teleport (ON REACTION, PLEASE DON’T USE THIS EVERYTIME OTHERWISE YOU WILL BE DEAD). Anyway, I’m more confortable with Magneto/Strange/Doom. Magneto has so many resets that damage isn’t that much of a problem, if you really need to kill a character you can still use level 3, TAC into some FoF loops or even into Doom. I’m really thinking about changing my assist into EoA, because that Dr. SnakeTits mixups are sooo nasty and I’m getting used into fighting with Magneto/Missiles, the way Champ does. EoA is that lockdown assist for mixups much like Ammy’s Cold Star or Dante’s Jam Session.
For Wolverine/Strange, man, these two are slept on. Wolverine’s combos does little number of hits which means you can do lots of TAC FoF loops, and with Tornado Claw assist you can do even more (While still maintaining the Fatal Claw in the THC). So it means I need Wolverine on point and Strange on second, and still find a good anchor (besides Vergil). I’m testing the entire cast for possible assists that both allow Fatal Claw loops (for instant kills) and is a good assist for Strange.

I searched youtube for snaketits but couldn’t find much. Where are u guys seeing his tech?

Well, last time I saw snaketits was with Serpentaurus, in the FGTV chat. That was the reason I recorded the first DocNeto, to show him the extensions for the grav-loop with Strange. He told me he saw it here some days after in the same chatroom, but he never posted anything. Maybe he’s been busy or something :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

He’s been on the recent Runbacks. Archive or youtube, he’s easy to find just bolting through the footage, as he’s the only strange I recall. Can’t think of any specific matches, though.

I’m interested in the team Wesker/Magneto/Strange or perhaps Wesker/Strange/Mags. I could not find the list of characters that it is possible to FOF loop with Strange off of either a raw tag or DHC combo so you don’t have to risk the tac. I would be much obliged if someone here could let me know if it’s possible with Albert.

Well assuming that the DHC glitch still works like it did in Vanilla, you could try to do Mustang Kick (command grab) cancel into Rhino Charge DHC into Counter. Dunno if it works cause I never got around to try it out myself.

Maybe with his wallbounce you can… and I’d strongly advise for Wesker/Strange/Magneto :wink:

I think I’ve tried it and it just doesn’t work

Dr. SnakeTits recently played some matches that are on youtube, search for SaveTheTitties (Seriously LOL)
I’m officially changing my Strange assist on Mag/Strange/Doom to Eye. I found a combo that you can use the eye and then TAC directly into Doom:
Magneto combo > HG loop > Call Strange > Gravitation (backwards SRK H) > S > j.H > TAC into Doom
While still keeping the High/Low mixups with Magneto and Eye if needed.

When do you call the EoA during the grav-loop do you call Strange, Gui? This looks hella stylish, I wanna do it!

I’ve been testing the team playing against some other brazilian players, and the results are overwhelming. This team is hella good, and it has means to deal/answer to any kind of team.

I still havent settle for one specific order, since one favors damage and the other focuses on control and punishing. But I can say that using the EoA seems like the best option by now. Mag’s neutral assist will be missiles anyways, so you can use bolts to keep pressuring people up after you got your offense going, not to say it will eat a lot of projectile assists.

ps: I’m touched that you adopted the name DocNeto to our team :smiley:

You call EoA when doing HG > sj > add > j.H > land > call Strange > s.H > HG. It works everytime if you’re not in the max HG loop possible, if you’re in the max it drops sometimes due to hitstun decay (it’s very weird that it does work sometimes).
Ah and yeah Docneto is the official name for this team! :smiley:
Also Dr. Strange + Fast Beams (Magneto’s, Hawkeye’s) confirmed BFFs (as if no one knew it LOL). The amount of mixups you can create with blockstrings are insane. Even if they pushblock. Also i’m using H teleport a lot because it crossup sometimes, making it really unpredictable.
I will really really try to make a video this week showing some Wolverine/Strange synergy I discovered, plus some blockstrings with Disruptor/Triple Arrow with and without pushblock.

If Spider-Man wasn’t so technical I’d give him a try D: (also if Iron Fist didn’t sucked I’d give him a try)

Sorry for the bad quality.

Can Hawkeye set up Faltine loops? I’d think that he’d be able to do it off of a Scatter Shot into Gimlet in the corner.

opinions on Strange / Morrigan / Doom

Morrigan/Strange/Doom

Strange won’t survive point-wars without a GTFO assist :confused:

I’m following the path of Tenboss and picking up Iron Man for Repulsor Blast assist. I think it’s going somewhere.
