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

Not to be mean or anything, but if you indeed want to follow Ten-san’s path, you should do just like he did, and get rid of both point-Strange and whatever-slot-IronMan. I was the last one of us who insisted in point Strange, even for long then Tenbosu himself, and even I gave up. If you want to keep him on point ok, I just gave the one opinion you asked here for man. Unfortunately, everyone around here will tell you the same.

So whats the word on who should be anchor between Doom and Strange? I plan on messing around with Spencer Strange Doom or Spencer Doom Strange. Which is “best”?

Spencer/Doom/Strange, for sure. Even though Strange is best used 2nd, he is a more capable anchor than Doom, not to say that bolts will be a much more valuable asset for Spencer than missiles, so you’ll be calling him in way more… also, bolts help Doom’s neutral a LOT, maybe second only to drones. :slight_smile:

Hmmm…I’ll have to give that a try.

That being said, I play Strange 2nd [on that team]. Because…

…1.) You get Spencer > Strange DHC > Impact-Flame Loops.
…2.) Strange/Doom is pretty dumb itself.

Anyways, I love this team b/c you literally get 900k, minimum, off of ALL touches.

I could do the DHC to Flame Loops, but I’d have on Hiddle Missiles. Doing the Faltine Loop wouldn’t be necessary I don’t think unless Doom goes down.

Spencer/Doom/Strange imo. Anchor Doom just can do very little full screen when he has to make a comeback against more than one charachter. Also you don’t really need to DHC into FoF loops when you have 2 assists that extend Spencer’s combos well. Plus 100% safe DHCs.

I’ll leave this here for any one more wanting to play Docneto team:

Magneto/Strange/Doom:
-Instant punish anywhere on the screen with Shockwave or Tempest into Spell of Vishanti;
-You can DHC into Seven Rings for countering slower projectile hypers;
-Possible TAC into Doom infinite;
-Strange with missiles;
-Anchor Doom;

Magneto/Doom/Strange:
-More damaging combo ender DHC into Sphere Flame;
-Instant TAC into Doom infinite;
-Doom with bolts;
-Doom has safer incoming options (can air dash away);
-Anchor Strange;

Eye of Agamotto assist: dirty resets and mixups, easy combo into Doom TAC (if using Strange on second) - scales the combo a lot and not too useful on the neutral
Bolts of Balthakk assist: good ground control, similar to drones, confirms from far away - hits too high and leaves Strange very open

For Doom use Hidden Missiles changing for Plasma Beam if you feel it’s better on some matchups.

ive been using strange/dante arthur. and strange/dante /coon
gotta represent strange on point guys

Sorry

Greetings,

I have been lurking on these forums for quite some time and I see how often you all help each other and I was wondering if you guys could help me.

I am a big fan of Strange and have been trying to find a team that could work for him for a while now that doesn’t just consist of Crumple Character/Spencer/Strange.

But here is also another problem of mine. I also love Shuma-Gorath and would love to make a team with both of them together. I was in the lab with them for a while, Shuma backed by bolts or EoA is good, as well as Strange backed by mystic ray. I was even trying Hyper Mystic Ray combos with eyes on into SoV, and theoretically at the end of SoV, they were supposed to fall back down dude to the eyes so I could do a FoF loop, but alas, hitstun turns me into the victim.

Anyway, I was wondering if you guys could help create some suggestions for me, so I can learn what to do from here. I am looking for a character that can use Shuma’s eyes to their advantage, but I know this is a Strange thread so anything that these two can do together I would appreciate the help.

Thanks.

Heeeey, you may be able to accomplish one of my dreams regarding Strange play! I always wanted to team him up with Shuma, but I lack the skill to play charge characters :frowning:

I would say you can have two team-builds to make them great together: Point/Strange/Shuma, or Shuma/Strange/Anchor.

You can abuse zoning and screen-control with Strange and the mystic ray, so there is that. However, you can use Shuma with the bolts, get the mystic stare to hit the enemy, and start flame looping out of a raw-tag to Strange (IIRC it’s possible, someone here has done it).

I’d say you should go to this last option, since their damage output and meter build together can be ridiculous, not to say about crossups or kara-commandgrabs in between the bolts. Good luck, and make my dream come true! :smiley:

Shuma/Strange has potential to be very strong. And yes you can do Mystic Stare > air series > raw tag and start looping. Don’t go for the Mystic Stare into DHC route because hitstun gets racked up by a ton. However the one weakness that is very obvious is that their DHC’s into each other are absolute booty. So you either have to have a middle man to DHC into or level 3 or deal with low damage DHCs lol.

what do u guys think about strange dante and arthur

Dante/arthur might work, but you probably won’t establish any control as daggers fly to low (and jumping is quite popular). Strange will be hard if someone decided to move forward, other than that you are fine.
Dante with jam session is dumb, but i think it can get you only so far…

I saw in final round someone rocking Strange/haggar/hawk team and was kinda owning with it. Even went for midscreen fof and shit. I think he lost to Neo at top 64 and later to PR rog. He played well, but it seems a lot like people didnt know how to handle lariat assist, combining with teleports, hawk eye’s assist and good confirm he prettg much snowballed his way in the tournament. But again, against those too who knew how to handke haggar’s assist he could only run for so long.

Although i would to be wrong if i hear he brought up some good results in mm afterwards.

Thank you for replying! I actually come from a charge character history, that’s why I ran to Shuma-Gorath. Is there anywhere I can be linked to the video of flame looping off of eyes or raw tag? I’m having trouble finding that certain sweet spot. But that is where I am stuck. I don’t know who should be my anchor, someone that can assist both Strange and Shuma, and in regards of what Robawtninja said, where could the damage off of a DHC work with strange on secondary? I was trying a bit with Iron Man just because his angled proton cannon can connect with a full screen Vishanti for some cool looks and decent damage, but I feel like putting Tony on this team of already not so over powered characters would be asking for a death wish. I think TaskMaster is almost a little better than Ironman, but I’m not sure about his anchor potential, I just know his upwards arrows can connect off of Vishanti. My brother insisted Virgil, but I at all costs don’t want to have to go down that route.

Try Orbital Grudge. Skrull is a great anchor. BTW I didn’t see you do it, but its possible to go Fatal Claw loops using BOB. In fact you can do two tornado claws before the fatal claw.

How many bars is that for one or two? And do you mind posting the notation?

That guy was Will Richards. That guy is one of my inspirations for Strange, but lately he is getting really frustrated with his team. He switched to Strange/Vergil/Hawk now he came back to Haggar.

This is old XD My secondary team with Wolvie is Wolverine/Strange/Hawkeye, and I use bolts for the loops. Thanks for pointing out though :smiley:

Back to Magneto/Bolts. My Magneto movement got better and i learned box dash Mag Blast. With Bolts it’s just GDLK. No more Happy Bdays from characters with slides (you, Nova).

I just messed with this team in some casual matches today. It’s pretty good.

It seems to have synergy, like it doesn’t matter who’s first. All characters can start the flames loop,

I thought daggers would be if not one of stranges best horizontal assists.
