"Your brainless antics would try the patience of a saint!" - Doctor Strange Combos. BnBs in OP!

So every where I read, I see people saying to end block strings with Mystic Sword M because it’s -16 on block. The guide says Impact Palm is -18 on block - why isn’t it being used over Mystic Sword M?

Impact Palm has little to no pushback on block. Mystic Sword M pushes the opponent far enough at midscreen for most attacks to whiff.

So, I think I’m not the only one around here that thinks Strange also has a TAC infinite right?

No, im thinking the exact same thing. But how are the links? i’m guessing our best bet is on down TACs

I say down tac flame into impact palm loop could be one. But I really want to go into the lab since I run Strange second

Didn’t realize this forum was still active… My thoughts for a possible TAC infinite:

Keeping in mind that we have to do a special before we land, that limits us to Flame and Fly Loops (fly as in IP loop with the IP canceled into Fly, eg J.MMH > IP xx Fly > J.MMHS). I don’t know if we have to special each time or just the first, but we can probably just cancel the initial TAC attack into fly, delay the Unfly, and hit them right before we land for the timing we need. That probably wouldn’t work though considering we need some sort of timing tool. I can’t wait to lab tomorrow if something isn’t already discovered.

We’ve broken this character enough already. Now let’s make him top tier.

I’m (temporarily) coming out of retirement to work on this for you guys. Hope my execution is still up to snuff lol.

I dont think it requires specials, actually.
We know flame-loops wont last forever due to their pushback.
On the infinites, you see an aerial sequence of normals, a big stunning movement and another regular jump.
It takes probably palms or flames, but I doubt both.

When I saw those videos, I couldnt avoid remembering Serpentaurus some weeks ago:

“yo, I think we can go further on TACs for Strange. I feel there is something there.”

Well, there is MvC2 in there now. LOL

actually Strange might need to TAC-teleportL since there is no airdash with him.

Or maybe fly to end going up-momentum from the tac, palm, unfly, and then start an air-juggle near the floor.

Remember that if you don’t jump quickly, the hitstun resets causing infinites to not work. Maybe Ryan Hunter’s Jump Loop is what we should go for.

At last, Maziodyne found the infinite! Waiting for him to post a video.

yo, what?! How? How this fast?!

He’s in the OTT confirming it.

It requires a crapton of tight frame links but it is definitely possible. You need to know how to get j.H and Impact Palm as close as possible to the ground.

I’ve tested it with a down TAC but I think up TAC will work as well. The loop itself is basically just a slightly altered version of a jump loop into one rep of Palm xx Flames. First hit going up MUST be a j.L. It’s harder on Strange than say Magneto because you have you time it right all the time.

So ( j.L, j.M, j.M, j.H, IP xx Flames) xN or are you just going into palm xx flames as an ender?

so you get j.H j.Palm near the floor, imediate jump-back palm-flames-palm or something like that?

Down TAC, Air hit xx Fly, unfly, j.H (close), [j.L, j.M, j.H, Palm (delayed) xx Flame, Palm (close]xN.

Close means you have to connect with the move EXACTLY as you touch the ground. For some retarded reason you can’t chain j.L, j.M, j.M, j.H but that isn’t Strange-specific anyway. You just need to compensate for the height by delaying your Palms. You’ll know if you’re doing it right if Strange looks like he’s stomping on the ground as he’s doing the Palm.

I got two loops but dropped the third, but I’m in there. Glad I’m playing a Strange second.

Whoops, forgot you had to fly-unfly. Sorry about that.

just having breakfast, going to the mail to pick up my eightarc and straight to training mode.

Welcome back, Mazio. :slight_smile:
