Overview

 Dr. Faustus is one of the most dangerous characters in the game. He has high speed, safe high and mid strings, and has the best combo ender in the game in 1000 Stabs at his disposal. He's also one of the few characters in the game who can reliably 2 touch opponents: one touch to get his opponent against a wall with a grab or string that deals around 20 damage, and one touch to mixup into a launcher ending with 1000 Stabs for 80 damage.

At a glance:
Pros Cons
  • Fastest base speed in the game.
  • Great strings: lots of low-high mixup strings as well as safe counter-hit strings.
  • 1000 Stabs deals a disgusting amount of damage against a wall and makes any launcher deadly.
  • Turn Around Slap is one of the best stun grabs in the game.
  • One-trick-pony: Faustus doesn't have a viable win-condition outside of ending a juggle with 1000 Stabs.
  • Getting an opponent into the corner can be tricky: Must rely on individual hits, counters, and long traveling strings to get opponent into the corner.

Not very good. Can be high blocked, has a very finicky range, and does noting against crouching players.

Even shorter range than Low Incision has, but has fast frames. Used in juggle strings since its recovery time is drastically reduced (7f) when it strikes an airborne opponent.

The move, and what you'll be ending all of your juggle strings with. Lightning fast startup, and deals insane damage when strung into.
You can press Triangle to cancel the move early, which takes 22f.

A free-for-all favourite. Great startup, has normal invincibility, and can be canceled in three different ways. Can sometimes be tricky for your opponent to attack into if they have bad low attacks.

A very rare bird: a low hitting launcher with good range. Although it has really bad startup and low damage, this is one of Faustus' few good tools to use against crouching opponents parrying high.

Not to be confused with his other stance move Crane Stance, Chambered Stance is a very silly and impractical addition to Faustus' toolkit. If you get hit or don't input a move, Dr. Faustus will fall over.

One of the worst grabs in the game. While its damage is fine, being -8 on hit means that most of the cast's wakeup attacks will hit you for free. That 18 damage better win you the round.

A much better grab. You have a 2 frame window to get a rear grab on an opponent who isn't holding crouch after the stun frames. Note that on some smaller characters having their animation backwards in the air will cause 1000 Stabs to whiff some hits.

With all that stabbing you’re doing, it’s a good idea to keep your equipment in order. There’s a couple of fun things you can cancel the taunt into, as well.
