Nope, Weasel Shot it is.
i felt like asking this here: how’s the doom ammy THC when doom is on rocks assist (thus getting sphere flame instead of photon array?)
You get out quite a lot faster faster* for tri-dashes and the “rain” hits high for unblockable on close range (one tri-dash), less damage on assist and such though.
*Start of the Blizzard compared to the end of the Blizzard.
With Doom on point, you need your lock down to do 2 things:
- Pin an opponent long enough to mix them up
- Help with AA since Doom is kind of weak (without meter) in that department
You would have 1) covered with Drones so maybe Dante (Jam) on anchor? Perfect for getting people out of the air, and if you THC with someone on the ground, gives you an eternity to mix them up with Mil $. Also, Dante XF3 can easily run through teams like Wesker. plus, he gives you a nice counter to zoning teams, which Doom/Sent would be a little free when up against. Hit-confirming off of Jam is a little hard with Doom but once you get the hang of it ( basically, always use st.:h: and tri-dashes ) it’s not so bad. Also, Dante loves missiles and drones as well.
I’m also a fan of Dorm (Hole) in the middle in this case if you don’t care about the AA part. Hole is perfect lock down for Doom for Dash-cancel mix-ups and missiles and drones make Dorms zoning god like. Plus, when Doom goes down, if you want you get the nice DHC of Stalking Flare into Hard drive for basically a guaranteed mix-up opportunity.
Hope that helps!
FYI, Sphere flame rain doesn’t hit high
My bad there slaps self for not knowing what projectiles are, I don’t use rocks normally.
Hi 
Im rocking Zero/Doom/Wesker team and I was wondering is there another anchor more fittable as an assist for the rest of the team?
Thx
Strider/Dante.
iam a sf4 player, but trying hard to getting into umvc3 after the movie avengers shit got me hype lol. So with that said my team from vanilla has been trish on point, then doom/task…but later a friend said try the dog, so its not TRISH/DOOM/AMMY ALL B assist, but i was wondering if trish would benefits from the plasma beam better, to get it, i all ready now hidden missled can otg and extended combos/ Anything other advice would be nice…IMO next to butt buddies Wolverine/akuma… id say ammy is Dooms bff lol
I was interested in making a team with Doom on point kinda like Clockworks team. I want to start with the Doom/Strider shell but who else would help Doom control the screen? For some reason I feel like Rocket Raccoon’s Log Trap would help Doom out but for the little while that I tried it I couldn’t seem to get a reliable confirm off of the Log Trap or time the wall bounce correctly.
Log trap is the easiest wall bounce assist to confirm of as Doom in my opinion, at the same moment as the log hits the target you should be able to tridash two times and confirm with a cr.:l: (or something similar) or j.
instead of a second tridash depending on the distance to the corner.
I was thinking about switching the order of my team so that i have doom first nova 2nd and sentinel last. The problem with this is that novas Centurion Rush assist that i usually use doesn’t really benefit doom that much, and i was wondering if the shield assist would be better for my team, or if even the nova strike assist would work better
CR is the overhead right? (haven’t played Nova for a while) It’s really good with Doom, don’t think otherwise! I guess the shield would be a valid choice for keep away and dirty income mixups though.
alright man thx for ur advise
From my briefly brief tinkering with Nova, I would put him in front of Doom and Sentinel. There’s really no point, to me, in taking away an assist from him. As good as Drones is for Nova’s air dash, Plasma Beam will do it even better. Plasma Beam to get in for the opening, finish the combo in the corner, call drones, dash back to catch/mitigate forward roll. And of course, Missiles are useful for Sentinel and probably can be implemented somehow to extend Nova’s combos.
For me, Nova’s overhead really doesn’t add too much more to Doom. Doom+Drones is already capable by itself. The shield thing is nice to have, but again, not necessary. While the DHC damage-wise is relatively weak, having Doom second will open the opponent up for TAC opportunities. On the flip side, having Sentinel second usually guarantees that if your point dies, you still get to play since you’ll have Hard Drive loaded on the incoming mix up.
If you’re who I’m thinking of, quite frankly, I don’t think your Doom is at the point where you’re able to properly implement Nova’s assist into your game plan. No offense, as maybe you’ve improved since then, but that’s from what I’ve seen. BTW, is this your prep work for facing Dean tomorrow? Cause, all you need to do is zone him out and you’ll probably win. Aside from Skrull, Dean’s team has a really tough time dealing with standard photon shot harassment. Play it slow and safe with Doom, and you can win. Oh, and snap Hulk to anchor and wait for the hard tag.
Is there any reason to use Weasel shot over Crystal with Dante in Doom/Dante/Strider-Dante/Doom/Strider the other assists are Plasma Beam and Vajra. I want Dantess assist to sort of have the lockdown role which both Weasel shot and Crystal provides the difference being that Crystal will allow Doom to get some more damage at the end of a combo while Weasel Shot have better range, faster start up although lower active frames.
Most of the other characters work well with Strider don’t provide strong neutral assists. Vergil at least provides strong meter based support but you’re not getting a lot of neutral assist utility out of him.
Your best bet that I could think of is to run something like Doom/Dorm/Strider. I haven’t seen much footage of Dorm/Strider but I’m sure it works especially if Dorm has meter to burn or spells available. Plus both are great with XF.
Hahaha thanks Kevin? i think not 2 sure. The main reasons why i was thinking of using doom first is mostly cause, as it is i cant even kill wolverine in 1 combo and dhc into sphere flame, but i can kill him off a doom combo then dhc into super Nova. The issue with this is just as u said, i have 1 less assist for Nova, and Novas assists arent really all that helpful for doom.
All good hahaha im still learning, i really do think that doom is by far my best character though, and i have been meaning 2 get in touch with u cause i’ve been hearing ur the best doom in Edmonton free.
This isn’t really prep work for Deam but mostly me trying 2 figure out a way to play my team better.
Haha yeah, Kevin is me. Really though, it’s up to you. I don’t think it’s a huge issue whether or not you have Doom behind Nova or not. Give me a shout here or on the Edmonton thread if you’ve ever got questions.
Practice this stuff and you’ll ToD with Nova

Better extension than in the video:a1:(Nova overhead):qcf::uf::l:j.:f::h::s::qcf::h::qcb::atk::atk: for DHC, :a1:(Nova overhead:qcf::uf::l:st.:qcf::h::dp::atk::atk: for a single super. Not sure if you would be able to fit in Rokmode’s Drones extension before the Nova one, it’s :a2::qcb::s::qcf::h::qcf::l::s:…
