I thought you dropped Strange? lol. good to see you still taking an interest in the character at least. yeah the Flames loop is really tough to get down, but if it’s not really worth the damage, I wouldn’t bother. as it is, I feel it’s too inconsistent to be used as a B&B in the corner.
I stalk the Strange forums in hopes that someone finds something that makes Strange totally broken so I have an excuse to actually play the game again. (Lookin at you, Rogueyoshi)
Until then, have this combo.

good god, Toaster. I just think you found your answer. if there’s a way to set up Graces at the corner after a flying screen knockdown (Missiles?), this could very well lead to an insane amount of damage. almost no need for mixups if all of Strange’s midscreen combos can lead into this. good find. I’ll definitely be trying this out when I get the chance.
I definitely want others to experiment. This is almost possible as a fullscreen combo, but I haven’t gotten it to work out. I’m sure you can get severual reps after a normal midscreen combo though.
However it doesn’t exactly solve the problem of how Strange will land a corner combo. It just means that if he does, you die. Which is more incentive to just block in the corner, which Strange has little answer to.
it’s likely that it will only be possible if certain assists are used. Impact Palm (Missiles assist), launcher, j.H ~ Palm, j.S allows me to get a one free special before the missiles hit OTG, and I’m positive I can put a Grace on screen and go into the loop. my only concern is the spacing requirement, but I suppose that can be tweaked by a quick wavedash back or st.H which has a ton of pushback on airborne opponents.
Strange players are probably going to need to keep opponents midscreen at all costs. one red grace midscreen means you have access to Strange’s corner mixups (as demonstrated by Ryan), not to mention snapback setups. just having one R Grace midscreen at all times is probably going to be a vital aspect of proper Strange play.
Well, some times during matches I get access to a Wesker otg assist and extend my impact loop with that. If instead of it I can set up that grace and start looping this thing, I think every single hit with Strange will lead me into a ToD.
TO THE LAAAAAB
I’m worried about the new patch. booting up the game now and seeing if they changed anything about Strange.
edit: phew. nothing changed.
SJ up-back Impact Palm is giving me a headache. @.@ weirdest motion I’ve ever had to do.
I can’t believe how close I was to the infinite before I gave up. Oh well, good stuff Toaster (and I warned you all :p).
al(rogueyoshi) doesnt play anymore. he already knew about the inf too
Like I comment in Yoshi’s video, good work bros. If we keep this up, we will be able to make him look broken and more people will main Strange.
We are on the merge of breaking the 10-users count for Strange!
What you can do is land a mid screen jump loop, and then if your last loop takes you to corner, do an air loop of j. :h:, j. Impact Palm + Spencer Slant Shot, land, Impact Palm XX Grace as a way to ToD people from mid screen.
I dunno how much hitstun would have decayed by then or how bad the scaling will be, but you’ll still probably be able to land some reps for extra damage + meter. At worst you’ll build meter for a bunch of lvl 3s.
Whoa… I gotta hit that lab, I was still using day 1 and 2 Impact Palm loops. This stuff is insane o_o very nice find!
any strange users on XBL?
I wanna add some strange users since I’m trying to improve him as much as possible, and I want to learn some new tech in battle
Practicing the Flame loop in the corner raw, instead of finding proper spacing you can do one rep of Impact Palm loop into 2H 6H S and it builds meter faster/does slightly more damage/sets you up perfectly so you don’t have to super jump up back everytime. You can just neutral superjump after launcher everytime and it stays in proper spacing.
Add me friend, i play a good Strange (not that good actually). Sometimes drop stuff due to imput lag. Gtag: Serpentaurus
Two things about this new loop (it is not an infinite it drops after 30 hits)
- a glyph is not required
- it can be perfomed mid screen (finding a way to make this useful will be execution heavy)
Videos in a few minutes recording them now.
The midscreen version is hard, if not impossible. Better just do a normal combo and finish with the loops at the end of a combo, however much you can.
All I want to know, is that if I was totally justified in putting Hagen Daaz when I posted this on the front page.
