Revision History : 4-7 Original FAQ completed
---------================ 1: Introduction =================-----------
I first started playing the VS series w/ the advent of "X-Men vs
Street Fighter"'s release on the Sega Saturn. Good Lord…….Now there
was a game….And none of the followups have really shined as it did
(IMO) up until "Marvel Vs. Capcom 2".
The series of FAQs I'll be putting out will be related to all the
funky, freakish, or 'Darkhorse' characters of the game. Characters
people rarely use….and when they do use, use ineffectively at best.
I'm doing this due to the fact that * every * single character in
this game is very playable…..very…….And knowing this can give you quite
an edge over people that would underestimate them….
---------=================== 2: Legend ===================------------
Here's the legend of keys and terms used in the following FAQ.
Attacks : Jab = Light Punch
Fierce = Hard Punch
Short = Light Kick
Roundhouse = Hard Kick
b = Back
f = Forward
d = Down
u = Up
B = Charge back for 2 seconds
D = Charge Down for 2 seconds
P = Punch
K = Kick
PP = Both punches
KK = Both kicks
HCB = Half Circle Back (Roll controller from forward, to
down, to back.)
HCF = Half Circle Forward (Roll controller from back, to
down, to forward)
QCF = Quarter circle forward (Roll from down to forward)
QCB = Quarter circle back (Roll from down to back )
OTG = Off the ground. Getting your licks in whilest they be
Down for the count.
Launcher = Any move which sends your opponent to the heavens.
NOTE : All percentages given are from damage taken by Cable (a fairly
balanced character). Your mileage may vary.
---------================== Dr. Doom ====================-----------
Now here's a character that I'm quickly finding fun to use. He
has the ability to inflict Hellacious damage with very few hits, has a
wide variety of projectiles, and has very comboable Supers. And he
carries that spiffy sense of style into battle like only a true super
villain could. I'm no 'Doom Master' by any means, but am improving.
Expect another update shortly.
Here are a few of his main strengths.
1 : Powerful Supers : Doom possesses 4 Supers, all of which inflict
more than 40% damage apiece. On top of that, they're fairly versatile.
2 : Variety : With 3 completely different projectiles that are
ground based alone, it'll be a while before you run out of patterns and
traps once you become accustomed to playing with Doom. Factor in a
nice dving kick from the air, and 2 completely different projectiles in
the air, and you've go a fairly well rounded turtling machine. Which
leads us to….
3 : Turtling : You can easily keep an opponent at bay for nearly an
entire round if you wish (wuss). He not only has a bea attack that
takes up a good portion of the screen, but also a nice wind-up
projectile (Molecular Shield) and a great push-back maneuver(Photon
Shot).
4 : Normal strikes : Doom can easily take an average character from
100% to 70% with 4 normal attacks. Many of his attacks shove an
opponent clear across the screen, in preparation for a projectile trap,
and he has one of the best Roundhouse kicks in the entire game.
Of course you must take the good with the bad. =(
1: Combo Magnet : Dr. Doom is extremely easy to combo. He's the
perfect width and weight for nearly anyone to pull of ludicrous juggles
with. Fear corners.
2: Air Inferiority : I have yet to learn to utilize Doom well in the
air. Aside from his diving kick, he's pretty much a sitting duck. Many
of his attacks hit high, and have a long windup, and his projectiles
travel nearly Directly downward once airborne! =(
---------================ Normal Attacks ================-------------
Standing Jab : Decent range. Hits fairly high. Second variation is a
short ranged uppercut that does not launch. Odd.
Standing Short: Shortranged, but hits from just above the waist on
down. Second connection is a nice diagonal launcher.
Standing Fierce : Medium windup. Good range. Knocks opponent clear
across the screen. NICE hit range.
Standing Roundhouse : Insane coverage. The range isn't the greatest,
but the move starts above his head and travels
clear to the ground. Nasty for nailing jumpers,
and it hits twice.
Ducking Jab : Shorter range than his standing Jab, but faster
recovery. No second variation.
Ducking Short : Ok range for a Short. No second variation. Very quick.
Ducking Fierce : Long windup. INCREDIBLE range. Launches upon a clean
hit. Decent damage.
Ducking Roundhouse : Passable range. Single hit knockdown. Good for
starting OTG games.
Jumping Jab : Fair range. Lame hit raidus. Hits high. Second
version is an overhead smash which launches opponent
to the ground.
Jumping short : Good range. Good speed. Second hit is a short range
axe kick. Use as your main Jumpin opener.
Jumping Fierce : UGH. Incredible range, but it's windup is seriously
SHITTY. Only useful in a Super-Jump if your trying to
escape, as it's like a beam….but it takes time for it
to travel. Can hit twice. Near useless. =( But the
sound effect is cool.
Jumping Roundhouse : Fun little move. Decent damage. Good speed. Sends
Doom flying towards his opponent ala Akuma's
diving kick. Good for finishing off 'Aerial
Raves'. Tap Down on the controller to make him
land at a steeper angle.
---------================== Special Moves ====================---------
Plasma Beam : QCF, P (in air): Very quick windup. Very quick recovery.
Nice coverage. The aerial version
travels at a 45 degree angle downwards.
Photon Shot : HCB, P (in air): Fairly slow windup. Spreads across the
ENTIRE screen. Knocks opponents
backwards regardless of if they're
blocking or not. Awesome for annoying
jumpers. Aerial version fires
downwards.
Molecular Shield : HCB, K : Incredibly slow windup. Knocks opponent
back on the final hit. Can OTG with it.
Good for stalling rushers.
Flight : HCB + KK : Doom flies. Fairly slowly I might add.
Air-Dash : Any direction + PP : Mid-air dash. Short range, but works in
a pinch.
---------================ Super Attacks ==================---------
Plasma Bomb: HCF, PP : Good startup. Rivaling some of the faster beam
Supers in the game. Can be easily combo'd into.
Does about 40% damage with a clean/FULL hit.
Photon Field : HCB, PP (in air ) : Slight delay. Lethal in the air, and
only ok on the ground. Ground
version can be OTG'd. Air version
can be combo'd into. 40% on full hit
Rising Flame: HCF, KK : Fast startup, can be combo'd into from his
Roundhouse throw (!). About 30% damage.
Short range, but good for fliers.
--------================Elementary Combos================-----------
I've decided to not put a slew of "True" comboes in this section
due to the fact that there's so damn many……Instead here are some of the
more reliable/simple comboes and pressure tactics…
35% 9-hitter : Ducking Short, Ducking Roundhouse buffered into
Roundhouse 'Molecular Shield'.
40% 12-hitter : Roundhouse throw, into 'Rising Flame' Super. Timing
must be impeccable.
Variable combo : Jump-in Short buffered into aerial "Photon Field". Up
to 55% damage!
30% 15-hitter : (very close) Standing Roundhouse buffered into 'Photon
Bomb' Super.
More to come next revision. =)
---------================= Assist Modes ==================------------
Assist Mode A : Doom executes a 'Photon Shot'. Useful. Very useful.
Assist Mode B : Jumps in with a 'Molecular Shield'. Ok at best.
Assist Mode C : Jumps in with a 'Plasma Beam'. Very quick.

Special thanks to : Derrick and Chris for playing such a whorish keep
away game with Morrigan and Sakura. Without you I would not have to
resort to using people you don't know how to anticipate. >=D
Mtn Dew : For filling my veins with enough
caffeine to kill a small elephant.
Capcom : For advancing the Vs series yet again!
