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

I’ve settled on Zero(ryuenjin)/xx/Doom(hidden missiles) (or Zero/Doom/xx)

What do you guys think the best xx is if my playstyle is keep away/zoning heavy?

Sentinel

Trish- Doom- Sentinel is a great keep–away honesty you get air control with hidden missiles and drone that covers the ground good and help trish to get it. Correct me if I’m wrong.

Run Sent before Doom so he can use missiles. That’s about it; Doom should be able to run anchor himself without too many issues.

Go with Trish/Sent/Doom or Sent/Trish/Doom.

I strongly disagree with that, and I have a feeling many others will as well. Have you tried doom with drones? Sent and ammy is probably the 2 best assist for him. And for anchoring, Sent is good too. I’d rather have doom with drones and sent as anchor any day of the week.

Sent with missiles is pretty disgusting though. I guess it depends on who you personally want as anchor.

Does anyone know any specific setups that they like to use with Doom on point backed up w/ Drones, currently all I’m doing is jump forward h plus drones and calling drones then proton shot.

If i wanted to use doom on point or even second, what are some good characters that go with him?

Right now I’m experimenting with Doom (Plasma Beam) / Dante (Weasel Shot) / Strider (Vajra)

Weasel shot seems very close to ammy’s cold star assist in terms of lock down and having a free combo off vajra is always nice, still not sure about the order (or strider) any suggestions?

Yeah, Doom-a/Dante-y/Strider-y is the best order in my opinion.

In this order (unlike my order of Dante/Doom/Strider), with Doom you can TOD pretty much all of the 950k cast for 2 bars, its pretty much the best team order for Doom. Also if you have 2 or more bars stocked and your opponent likes abusing his assist button, you can really punish him for it with a THC of Doom/Dante. If it doesn’t hit, you can use it for mix-ups kinda of like the THC with Doom/Ammy.

Strider is kinda left out on this team except for his assist, so your left with Ouroburos and X-factor most of the time. He’s still a force in soon-to-be common situations, such as failed snapback attempts from the opponent (good players really have gotten into the habit of snapping in Strider now). You can take advantage of Doom’s and Dante’s assists, since you’ve most likely have been snapped in and looking at the order Strider/Dante/Doom, you should probably get comfortable of THCing for mix-ups or to take out assists, provided if you have meter. Crazy good synergy between these characters.

<---- Need help, how fast do you have to tri-dash to get close enough to be able to OTG with H on a downed opponent after air S?

It depends on how high you hit them with airS. Ideally, you’ll want to be dash cancelling after the airS (if it permits you to do so). You have all the time in the world after the airS hits, wait till doom lands on the ground and do 1 air dash over to your opp and launch. Practice it and you will know how much time you have

I’ve been trying to main Doom/Ghost Rider/Vergil (with Plasma Beam/Heartless Spire/Rapid Slash), but I’m not sure what order I should go in. I’m strong with Vergil, so I want him as a meter-filled anchor, but I’m not sure whether I should throw Doom out immediately or use Ghostie as a meter build point for Doom/Vergil.

If I do use Ghost Rider as point, should I swap Doom’s Plasma Beam for Hidden Missiles/Molecular Shield? Because I feel Rapid Slash gives the same fullscreen cover effect as Doom’s beam, and there’s no point in being redundant.

Gr/doom/vergil, and put missiles on doom.there are easy as hell GR bnb’s with missiles that do over 800k for one bar. that is pretty decent.

missles would be better since you can use the gun assist for dante

I’m running wesker doom & strider for obvious reasons wesker is the cheapest & best character in the game doom because not a-lot of people play him besides his godlike & then strider hes fucking beast i mean level 3 x factor ouroboros godlike i think my team is cheap as shit only problem i’ll have to face is fireballs

Was using Strider, Mags, Skrull. But I started messing with doom for fun, and before you know it.
Doom(HM), Stirder (Vajra), Mags (EMD)
Alot of technology available on this team, and who doesnt love alittle Double Dive spamming (Vajra + Footdi,Footdi, Footdive)

If I’m running Strider, Sentinel, Doom (no, I did not just pick this team because it’s Clockwork’s MvC2 team), what order should I use? I was thinking Strider/Sentinel/Doom or Sentinel/Doom/Strider. Sentinel second lets me do crossover counter xx hard drive (which makes me laugh) and leaves Sentinel with an assist in case Strider dies. All three have great assists and good point games.

Plasma Beam would probably be better than missiles for this team, right? Strider benefits more from a beam than another slow projectile lockdown assist I think.

Strider/Doom/Sentinel would let me do silly TAC combos that end in Doom’s level 3 so Strider could actually do damage. However, Strider doesn’t DHC to Doom well. He only just barely can DHC to Sentinel’s Plasma beam in the corner.

Thanks for any input.

I think Doom/Sentinel/Strider or Doom/Strider/Sentinel would be the best order. Doom with Drones is an absolute rushdown and zoning beast.

I run this team sometimes with Doom/Strider/Sent.

You can CCxxHD with Sent in third position just as easily as second. Kill people and hard tag out.
With Strider you can hard tag combo into Doom s.L f.H into corner combo and end in level 3 to kill people without them countering an exchange. the timing is difficult though.
Strider pretty much needs beam in some matchups. Missiles are good when you can afford them.
Team is super fun cause you can use drones to reset strider combos into very difficult untechable mixups.
