You May Be of Some Use to Me: The Dr Doom Team thread

I run Wesker/Deadpool/Doom

I use Doom’s Plasma Beam assist to help keep the opponent grounded either when I super-jump or teleport. Wesker and Doom have GREAT synergy together, since with Wesker’s rushdown and mixup gameplay, Doom can just make him more deadly using his assists. Deadpool’s Katana-Rama assist is a nice OTG for when I finish my air combo with Wesker. Deadpool and Doom have pretty good chemstry too. Sometimes I can hit confirm Doom’s Plasma Beam and hit a Happy Happy Trigger.

I’m using Sentinel A/?/Doom B. Anybody have suggestions for another character? Right now i’m just zoning them out with drones and missiles and it works fairly well but i’m having trouble finding a character to fill the middle spot, somebody suggested Arthur but i’m not really interested in playing Arthur.

What are some good anchors that actually provide useful assists for Doom? I’m really tired of playing anchor Doom so I’m trying to find someone to replace him so that I can actually play him normally and not just BS with xfactor.

Dr Strange is generally my point character but I don’t care if the anchor helps him or not, plasma beam is enough in that regard

Hmm? Usually, I see people use Magneto if they are not using Doom as anchor. Some other projectile character is acceptable too, like Taskmaster. But I guess it all depends on your preference. It should be a character who you know you can make comebacks with if in a tight situation.

I’m using Akuma Tatsu assist for Doom right now. It provides good lockdown for Doom.

ammy sentinel and akuma are all solid

I’m running team of Wesker/Dr.Doom/Strider? any tips for this team. I also running Trish/Dr.Doom/Wesker any tips as well similar to RDK team?

what of those teams looks better, or with more synergy?

wesker/taskmaster/doom
spencer/taskmaster/doom
taskmaster/doom/akuma
taskmaster/doom/wesker

Wesker can be put onto any team, on any spot. So I’m not going to go into that.

Doom honestly isn’t the best character to have as an anchor. I personally believe that he should be played on point or second. That way you can play rushdown as well as a keepaway game. With Doom as anchor you have to rush down your opponent balls to the wall, which isn’t Doom’s greatest trait.

So the question it boils down to is: do you want to play Akuma (who is an excellent anchor and assist) or a broken, herp-derp character, named Wesker.

I have the same opinion about Doom. My problem is to find a 3rd character for my task/doom duo. I like both Akuma and Wesker, but I’m having problems adapting to nerfed tatsu assist. Regarding Wesker, I feel my Doom ends up like a solo character after Task dies, I feel like an assist is missing.

How do you use Wesker assist with Doom? j. foot dive + assist, cancel into air dash to j.M for an unblockable?

I run doom 2nd and wesker anchor. You just play as though you’ve got 1 point and two anchors, except once in a blue moon you have a tricky unblockable and a decent combo extender you can use to land sphere flame. Also, just be lame as hell with doom, and then do DHC sphere flame into wesker so you can catch random opponents.
Wesker with doom assist is tons better. I prefer wesker then doom, but doom dhcs better from my point char so I can TOD and have safe DHCs.
Make sure you do as much as you can to save the point character by DHCing into doom and your team will run a lot smoother with 2 anchors.

Special Tip: fly above opponent, call wesker -> shenanigans

Taskmaster/Wesker/Doom is your best route. Nobody gets left with a shitty assist that way.

Having a little trouble with finding a good point character, im running Weker- Samurai Edge, Doom- Plasma Beam, any suggestions

Don’t know if it was posted here already, but appaently this is what Foot Dive actually looks like:

It all depends on who you are comfortable with. But it should be someone who YOU know can do the most damage possible before switching to your other characters. Just experiment and come up with the best results.

Gotcha i was thinkin dante, and or nova

Dante and Nova are very good point characters. Just make sure you have the right assists and experiment with some new tech and you should be fine.

yea ive doing some work in the lab and ive decided on Iron fist, Frankwest, Doom

i have a question? in vanilla i use to run deadpool/spiderman/ryu team and got me to 6th lord and mainly used my abilties of reading the game and not assists to get me in(so 3 point chars :P). In ultimate it seems the casuals have left and u need assists to get in more now.

now i would like to use doom in the new team im working on deadpool/dante/doom but i feel i dont know the char well enough to put him into a ranked match situation.

i have basically been hammering the mission mode with doom and cant seem to do 8,9,10. are they useful combo to do with doom or should i work on the combos in the brady games guide?
i only ask this because alot of the cast seems to have missions with arkward as hell combos to perform in a actual match

I suggest to use mission mode as a little preview to what you can do with your character. Dr.Doom is a character that takes some practice, but once in the right hands, can be a very strong asset. When you are doing mission mode, consider that it is kind of a guide, telling you what kind of moves can be canceled into each other and even what moves extend your combos. Just be patient and you will get Doom in no time.
