Doctor Strange's Touch of Death.

[baltobabe222]

Honestly, I cant wait for the next upcoming months, even years, to see all the new technology and teams people will be using. I mean things may seem low tier or OP now, but who knows later down the line. I mean UMvC3 is still young, i mean heck, MvC3 was less than a year old. Neither games are even close to MvC2 standards. I cant wait to see how this game develops along with the scene.

[Chariset]

When you consider that he's a big target and has relatively low health, I think he's balanced enough. He strikes me as a character who will either be no threat at all or very dangerous, with no in-between.

[ZzFactorzZ]

i need more strange technology soon, my dr. strange is so free right now...

[uzumakiii]

not that it matters, i am unable to do the daggers before i do the last spell. i learned the rest of it though.

[YouHaveRROD]

SHUMA CANNOT BE DEFEATED

[dunkin781]

I don't see why this is broken. Everyone can kill a character if you burn an x factor. Play smart and this will never be a problem, that's how fighting games have always been.

[loscakes]

Wow, good shit. I think you're right about his team placement. Put a good battery in front of him and a good assist behind him and all will fall.

[TakeBusFace]

lol @ people comparing Strange to Phoenix.. it takes execution to use him unlike jab jab jab jab jab Die die die die to hot for you im at full power!

[jpwn11]

good stuff

[Crevox]

Are you mashing during hyper?

[diablohellknight]

@Crevox On the second one, yes. Not on the first one naturally because I have to XFC and teleport.

[JackgarPrime]

Wow, that's SERIOUS. I'm glad Strange is a viable tourney character, as I really like him in the comics, but this is just plain nasty. Would you say Spell of Vishanti may be the new top Level 1 for Ultimate? And very amusing about the "not on Shuma" bit. What're the odds? Guess I gotta start working on my Strange reps!

[drzero7]

dang! Another instant X factor killer! Dr Strange is broken.

[StarkMaximum]

ONE-HUNDRED PERCENT WELCOME TO THE DARK DIMENSION NIGGA

[TheArmOS]

thats hilarious that it doesn't work on shuma of all the cast

[sibladeko]

"getting a 'one touch one kill' scenario is going to be rare"

After watching the other tech coming out, I think you're wrong.

[zekiramasterdragon]

Spell of Viscant

[AeonsOfFrost]

So wait, this combo works on every character except the one that Strange is (canonically) supposed to beat? Fucking LOL dude.

[DemiRonin]

Dude...this is why x factor is super gay!! F X-facto should not do more damage !

[Imozart0341I]

and its even faster

[Imozart0341I]

Wait, this was the combo in mission mode just extended a little bit. i Wouldn't waste my x-factor unless its a must kill character I.E Vergil, P. Wright, Wesker Hulk, She Hulk.

[AlexxxPerales]

do u think he make good anker?

[diablohellknight]

@AlexxxPerales I don't know since I haven't played him that much. I think he makes a good second character.

[Dreamking2323]

This is in no way broken man. Tons of characters can kill with level 1 x factor, that's just the way the game works. However, I knew the loop worked out of the corner, but what I didn't know is that X factor allows you to get more loops. That's a great discovery. Good stuff man

[D4Gamers]

@Dreamking2323 lol it's broken in the fact that no one else in the entire cast has an INSTANT LVL 1 PUNISH super that can be just thrown out at any given time and converted into a dead character. NO ONE!

[Imozart0341I]

@D4Gamers Hawk Eye does, he's pretty much anti Phoenix

[ThundaSnake]

I love how the comments are saying "this could be so much better". Folks, this is DAY ONE. THE GAME JUST CAME OUT TODAY. Of course it can be better (and it will get better over time as more people explore it).

That said, an anywhere-on-screen touch of death punish, with only one bar, is sick.

[Slateboard]

I knew Mixing Science with Technology would be bad.

[PurplePyroPirate]

whats up with all the haters? this is good tech that shows strange is a tournament viable character

[BradleyThomas312]

I for one welcome our new pringle overlords.

[NeoArtisan]

this is a lot deadlier than ppl realize imo. A lot of characters might be able to kill a character using XF + 1-2 meters, whats scary about this is it can be done from anywhere on the screen even a full screen punish.

Whether or not he's broken remains to be seen, but he is looking extremely powerful atm.

[hashmalin]

lol@ the haters. That's not a broken mechanic, but surely something to be afraid of about strange, i foresee some "epic" comebacks by this loop in near future. Thanks for showing us sephi :)

[Gimpyfish62]

if there is a character that CANNOT do this then i'd be surprised - spell hits on frame ELEVEN which really isn't fast AT ALL

not to say that the loops aren't tight - i'm just sayin - you can do better than this with strange!

[diablohellknight]

@Gimpyfish62 Fair enough.

[Gimpyfish62]

@diablohellknight just to be clear - not trying to hate or anything - the loop is tight - lets see what more can be done!

[diablohellknight]

@Gimpyfish62 I know you're not hating. I like your CapAm vid.

[pat33able]

You gotta remember you only get ONE xfc a match...

[hazeddon]

Nice find, but this is faaaaar from broken, your using 2 bars and an x-factor to kill one character. Considering wolverine could use x-factor and no bars to kill 2 characters this really isn't that bad.

Still a nice find.

[SmashSpencer]

@hazeddon And considering Magneto could use no xfactor and 1 bar and kill even Wesker in Vanilla it's not that bad either.

[hazeddon]

@SmashSpencer lol glad to see Im not the only one not overreacting over this.

[mrmuffinwaffle]

@SmashSpencer Yes, but this is a fast, full screen punish. Could magneto do that with 1 bar without assists from full screen?

[SmashSpencer]

@mrmuffinwaffle Magneto can airdash between the last shot on Dante and still catch him. He also probably has better overall mixup options. I was of the opinion that after Strange's trailer that he was going to be broken but this doesn't look "broken" as the video title likes to state. Very good? Yes and since Strange came out everyone has said and agreed that Vishanti is definitely one of the best lvl 1 supers in the game. Not BROKEN though.

[diablohellknight]

@hazeddon 1 bar. And you're right about Wolverine, but that was Vanilla. I believe the hitstun adjustment as well as reduction in meter gain hurts both Wolverine and Magneto in different ways. I could be wrong, though.

[DrkVrtx]

O_O More swag than Mags

[Acarinio25]

On one hand, good find there buddy, you did the community a great favor.

On the other hand... %#$^&*$ WHYYYYYYY?!!!!

[PsychoJosh]

So what you're saying is that this game is still retarded? OK then, I already knew that.

[zeroluu]

how the hell is this broken? you are using X-factor...

[diablohellknight]

@zeroluu According to most players, X factor has been toned down this time that you can't really kill off a character with a Touch of Death combo, even in Level 1 X factor. Only some characters can do that this time around, like Wesker, Vergil, and of course heavy hitters like Haggar and Hulk. However, killing off a character in level 1 X factor from anywhere on screen is something only very few characters will be able to do, Strange being one of them.

[mrmuffinwaffle]

lol at the tags



[NostalgiaGoggles]

Doctor Strange = Phoenix, if she were a real character

And surprise surprise, level 3 X-Factor is still really strong.

[bladerah]

This would be broken... if it didn't require x-factor and 2 bars and killing one character because they did a random super at full-screen isn't anything new. Also if strange couldn't do this he would be kinda terrible because his normals suck compared to other characters and are extremely punishable lol.

[Loltehfad]

@bladerah he can punish way more than random full-screen supers with this. that super is fast.

[bl1ndr]

gonna use him now LOL

[benify]

Lol except for Shuma? Coincidence?

[diablohellknight]

@benify Yeah, I noted that too. Pretty nice coincidence.

[D4Gamers]

@benify Coincidence? I THINK NOT!

[Kamukix]

@benify lmao, that's good stuff there

[reeceyfezza]

I was gonna use him from the day he was announced.

He looks hella fun (and broken).

[Weqqz]

Wasn't this game supposed to be 'balanced'? /sigh
