Marvel vs Capcom 2/Doctor Doom: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 17:23, 9 July 2024

Introduction

Story

Victor von Doom, better known as Doctor Doom, is a character from the Fantastic Four series by Marvel. The archenemy of the Fantastic Four, Doom wears an iron mask and armor to hide his face after an accident scarred him for life. With genius level intellect and unparalleled skills in magic and sorcery, Doctor Doom is unrivaled in ability, ego, and will power.

Gameplay

Doctor Doom is a keepaway and zoning character designed to frustrate and torment your opponent into making rash decisions that will get them killed. His j.HP and his Photon Shot are annoying projectiles to deal with, and his combo damage is extremely good if he has a bar. His normals are excellent and reach very far, while his movement is above average, possessing an 8-way air dash, a fast ground dash, a flight mode, and a few normals and special moves to halt or alter his air momentum. Doom isn't just good on point though. His Anti-Air assist, Molecular Shield, while not functioning as a traditional anti-air assist, is one of the best assists in the game. A massive wall of rocks that go everywhere in front of him, this assist allows nearly any character to have a much easier time making their way in and locking an opponent down with lots of chip damage to boot. His DHCs are also solid and highly damaging, with grounded Photon Array being hard to punish. Overall, Doom is a very very solid character in many regards. If you like to slowly chip your opponents patience away until they're grovelling at your feet, then rule with the iron hand of Doctor Doom.

Gameplay

Doctor Doom is a keepaway and zoning character who can use his variety of projectiles and movement to slowly chip the opponent down from afar. His main strengths are his great movement options and chip damage output, but characters that are able to maneuver around his projectiles are quite annoying to deal with.

Strengths

Weaknesses

Chip Damage: Doom has great chip damage with his Photon Shot and Photon Array on point, and his Molecular Shield has fantastic chip damage as an assist. Doom can certainly kill you while you're blocking, with the right team combination.
Mobility: Doom has a solid dash, an 8 way air dash, flight, and a couple normals in the air that alter his trajectory. Doom can basically go anywhere he wants on the screen.
Godly Assist: Doom rocks (his anti-air assist) is one of the best assists in the entire game, making some teams very strong (i.e. Team Clockwork) and making plenty of other characters go way up in viability.
Infinite: Doom has an infinite, though it's corner only. Still, having one is better than not having one.

Low Meterless Damage: Doom's damage is very good for one bar, but unfortunately without a bar of meter to spend on Air Photon Array, his damage is below average.
Weak to Good Mobility: If a character has enough movement capabilities to dodge his projectile spam, Doom is significantly harder to play.
Long Recovery: Many of his moves take a while to whiff. This can be somewhat remedied with flight, but flight is slow, so it's only a semi-fix at best.
Railroaded Combos: If you want to combo into his 2HP, you need to go through a medium, which can somewhat limit combo options.

Moves List

Variable Assists

Variety Type
A1 // A2

Type α

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
Variable Assist move. Variable Counter is HP Photon Shot. Variable Combination super is Photon Array. Doom's Variety type is fine, it's good to stop jumping and flying characters, but other than that it's not really anything special.

Anti-Air Type
A1 // A2

Type β

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
Variable Assist move. Variable Counter is HK Molecular Shield. Variable Combination super is Sphere Flame. This is THE assist. One of the best assists in the ENTIRE game, Doom's anti-air assist does not function like a regular anti-air assist might. Instead, this assist is EXCELLENT for lockdown, chip damage, pressure, zoning, keepaway, rushdown... anything you need to do, and rocks will help you get it done. Seriously. Almost always pick this assist, it will never steer you wrong.

Projectile Type
A1 // A2

Type γ

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
Variable Assist move. Variable Counter is HP Plasma Beam. Variable Combination super is Electric Cage. This assist is mediocre at best. The other ones are just better for other reasons. If you need a ground covering beam in an air based game, just pick Iron Man instead.

Normal Moves

Ground Normals

Light Punch

You gotta leeeean into it

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
Doctor Doom leans forward for a punch. Has some nice range for a light normal.

Medium Punch

I mean I guess he's gotta have a few bad buttons

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
Doom does an uppercut with glowing energy around his hand. Mostly just combo filler.

Heavy Punch

Plasma Be- aw, just kidding

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
Doom puts his hands together, wrapped in electric energy, and puts them in front of him. Causes the opponent to get sent flying away, but not knocked down. Ok as a chain ender, but you can do better, generally speaking.

Light Kick

Steppin' on ya jays

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
Doom stomps just in front of him. Generally just a very useless normal, as his other lights either have more range, are faster, recover sooner, or have better combo options available.

Medium Kick

Hey, it's Hard Kick!

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
Doom kicks straight upward. This is a launcher, but not one used very often as you have a better one. (which is a bit further down the page)

Heavy Kick

BIG steppies

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
Doom does a big stomp. This move hits twice, and the first hit has enough hitstun to cancel to some of his specials. Not a normal used that often.

Crouching Light Punch

+

Right in the balls, huh?

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
Doom does his 5LP, but crouching. Has much less range, but a smaller hurtbox for the same speed. Could be used for defensive scrambles.

Crouching Medium Punch

+

I know it looks the same trust me it's different ok

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
Doom does another punch like 5LP. The exact same animation, except it's a tiny bit slower and does more damage. Once again more combo filler.

Crouching Heavy Punch

+

Can you tell that Doom used to be a boss character?

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
Doom slams his hand into the ground, sending up a massive shockwave around him. Very important for his combo game, as it launches for a combo and combos of a two hit confirm. Absolutely COLOSSAL hitbox, covering the entirety of his body and plenty more space in front of, above, and behind him. It's a bit slow though, only being able to combo off mediums, but it has incredible coverage. Can be cancelled with flight to somewhat shorten the massive recovery. While it only has 4 active frames, if it had more this would easily be the most broken anti-air normal in the game.

Crouching Light Kick

+

The voiceline plays twice if this hits

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
Doom does a low kick. Very important because it's a low, otherwise it's not really anything special.

Crouching Medium Kick

+

I PROMISE it's a different move again

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
Doom does another low kick. Combo filler, but important combo filler as it combos to his 2HP and is a second low.

Crouching Heavy Kick

+

A sweep... with a dirty little secret

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
Doom sweeps the opponent, knocking them down. Overall a very uninteresting sweep... until you know that you can superjump cancel during the STARTUP of this move. This can allow for sneaky double low into tridash overhead sequences to open up opponents or reset pressure. Blockstringing into a superjump is unheard of in this game, and for Doom, superjumping is pretty useful. Not a bad tool to have.

Air Normals

Air Light Punch
j.

This has like 20 active frames

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
Doom does a little punch in the air. Mostly just used after a launcher to do an air combo, could be used for air-to-airs.

Air Medium Punch
j.

Bet you're glad this isn't Marvel 3 huh

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
Doom points his hands downward with electric energy to hit the opponent. Combo filler, which is a shame considering how huge the hitbox is.

Air Heavy Punch
j.

Budda gun (budda gun) gun wit da budda in it

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
The infamous butter gun. Doom takes out a small blaster and shoots a beam across the screen. Very solid air normal, as it has infinite range and can be cancelled at any time. The beam travels a little slowly, so to get the max range you have to be superjumping or rising with a normal jump. Not a bad tool for trying to snipe superjumping characters.

Air Light Kick
j.

Crouching light kick, in the air!

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
Doom does a downward kick. Your best normal for doing tridash pressure with, though Doom's tridash pressure isn't that great. Still nice to have regardless, as a fast overhead that hits like this is always valuable.

Air Medium Kick
j.

...Hard Kick again?

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
Doom kicks upward in the air. Mostly just combo filler, like j.MP.

Air Heavy Kick
j.

It's familiar... y'know?

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
Doom rockets toward his opponent with his legs extended in front of him at about a 45 degree angle. One of two footdives Doom has for maneuvering. Can be cancelled with specials, supers, and air dashes before it hits the opponent. After it lands, this puts Doom into a normal jump state, meaning you can call assists even if you superjumped. Not a bad move, but it's slow startup and lack of conversions leave a lot to be desired.

Command Normals

Jumping Down Heavy Kick
j.

+

I REALLY bet you're glad this isn't Marvel 3, huh?

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	None	-	-	-
Doom rockets down with his legs extended at about a 75 degree angle. If you've played Marvel 3, you will know how powerful this move is. Unfortunately, this isn't Marvel 3, and in this game it's only ok. Has all the same cancel and frame data properties as j.HK. Mostly used for movement.

Universal Mechanics

Universal Launcher (Punch)

+

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
Launcher (high)	-	-	-	-
Doom does his 2HP. Little to no differences with this one, still a great move.

Universal Launcher (Kick)

+

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
Launcher (away)	-	-	-	-
Doom does his Hard Kick. Considering how high the hitbox goes, this could be used as a surprise anti-air sometimes.

Throw (Punch)

+

He really lasers you in the chest

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
Doom picks the opponent up and fires a laser through them, sending them up and away. If the opponent doesn't tech roll, it's possible to combo off this throw with OTG, so it's not a bad tool to have.

Throw (Kick)

+

Gives you the dunk

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
Doom picks the opponent up and slams them into the ground, sending them upward. Not as useful as his punch throw, but still nice.

Air Throw (Punch)
j.

+

Lasered in the air

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
Basically the same thing as his punch throw, but in the air. Notably though, with good timing and use of airdash it's possible to convert off this throw for a combo in the corner with no OTG needed. Needless to say this makes landing this incredibly rewarding near the corner for Doom.

Air Throw (Kick)
j.

+

To the ground you go

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
Doom throws the opponent to the ground. Sends straight down, could potentially try some weird left-right mixups, but punch throw is just so much better.

Variable Attack (raw tag)

+

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock

A pretty standard tag attack.

Snapback

Weird choice but ok

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
Doom's snapback is painfully average. It's not particularly fast, not particularly big, and not particularly good at anything specific.

Special Moves

Plasma Beam

+

or

(Air OK)

IMMA FIRIN MAH LAZER

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
Doom fires a yellow laser in front of him horizontally, or downward in the air. Doom's Plasma Beam in this game is not anything special. Unlike Marvel 3 where it's an incredibly good long range option for chip and ground control, in this game it's slow, one hit, and doesn't do a whole lot of damage for something so committal. Occasionally finds use as an air combo ender. Avoid using this, for the most part anyway.

Photon Shot

+

or

(Air OK)

Pew

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
Doom fires a row of laser all around him, or down and away from him in the air. Doom's Photon Shot is a core aspect to his gameplay, specifically the air version. The ground version is good, but VERY slow to come out and has a blindspot above him. The air version is much faster, sends five projectiles at a great angle, and recovers pretty quick. You are going to see a LOT of these if you play Doom, so get used to doing this input.

Molecular Shield

+

or

Why are you doing this on point

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
Doom summons a bunch of rocks around him, then fires them out away from him horizontally. Doom's Molecular Shield, as a point character, is a move you should almost never be doing. It's incredibly slow, committal, doesn't do a lot of damage, and isn't particularly big. Seriously, just save it for the assist.

Flight

+

To the skies!

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
Doom's Flight is fine, but not really anything special. It lasts about 6.5 seconds, puts you in normal jump mode, gives you free movement and infinite air dashes, all the stuff that normally happens with flight. The problem is that it's very slow both in terms of startup and movement speed, so it really isn't used all that much. Perform the motion again to cancel flight early.

Hyper Combos

Electric Cage

+

The only super he lost in Marvel 3

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
Doom sends a ball of electricity out, and if it makes contact with the opponent, puts them into a field of energy that hits repeatedly before sending them away. Good for grounded DHC's after, but generally pretty average as far as supers go.

Photon Array

+

(Air OK)

The REALLY GOOD one

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
Doom sends out a volley of lasers in all directions on the ground, or down and away from him in the air, in a set of five shots each. On the ground this super is pretty good for chip and coverage, though it's kinda slow. The air version, though, is easily Doom's best super. If all the hits connect, this can do an INCREDIBLE amount of damage for one bar. It's also very good for meterdumping, stalling or going for chip. In addition, the air version of this move specifically has one other dirty thing going for it. It's frame 4, but if the opponent is not blocking already by the freeze, it is post flash unblockable. What was already a good super becomes very annoying with this in mind. If you have meter to waste with Doom (and you will from all the j.HP and Photon Shots you'll be throwing), use it on this super.

Sphere Flame

+

This one's really bad

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
Doom fires a ball of flame into the air, which travels up a set distance before it disappears. An incredibly underwhelming super, as it doesn't do a lot of damage, is hard to land, it's pretty slow, and has no DHC options afterward for almost all characters. You can basically forget he has this and nothing will change.

-=== Command normals ===
-Eight way air dash (aironly): Direction + {{lp}} + {{hp}}<br><br>
-A bit slower than, say, Magneto's air dash, but still nice to have. Useful for extending combos and for the mobility it provides. If you use one of Doom's air normals while doing one of these, he'll stop dashing immediately.<br><br>
-Laser shot (aironly): {{hp}}<br><br>
-Dr. Doom uses his sidearm to shoot a thin beam at his opponent. It can do multiple hits if you use it to hit an airborne opponent, but it can be tricky. The hitbox on this follows Doom, meaning that you can launch it at the top of the screen and bring the beam down on your opponent's head as you fall. Not very fast coming out- if you use it right after jumping, Doom will barely have time to shoot it before he lands. Pretty handy overall.<br><br>
-Foot Dive (aironly): {{d}} or {{f}} + {{hk}}<br><br>
-Doom uses his boosters to launch himself diagonally down. You can pick one of two angles, depending on which way you're holding the lever. Holding down will send you sharply downwards at about a 75 degree angle, and holding forward will send you at a less steep 45 degree angle. Both of these moves are great for ending air combos, and they can be cancelled into any of Doom's specials, supers, or even his air dash before they hit.<br><br>

It's a bit slow though, only being able to combo off mediums, but it has incredible coverage. Can be cancelled with flight to somewhat shorten the massive recovery. While it only has 4 active frames, if it had more this would easily be the most broken anti-air normal in the game.

+ |description= Basically the same thing as his punch throw, but in the air. Notably though, with good timing and use of airdash it's possible to convert off this throw for a combo in the corner with no OTG needed. Needless to say this makes landing this incredibly rewarding near the corner for Doom.

Unlike Marvel 3 where it's an incredibly good long range option for chip and ground control, in this game it's slow, one hit, and doesn't do a whole lot of damage for something so committal. Occasionally finds use as an air combo ender. Avoid using this, for the most part anyway.

The ground version is good, but VERY slow to come out and has a blindspot above him. The air version is much faster, sends five projectiles at a great angle, and recovers pretty quick. You are going to see a LOT of these if you play Doom, so get used to doing this input.

It lasts about 6.5 seconds, puts you in normal jump mode, gives you free movement and infinite air dashes, all the stuff that normally happens with flight. The problem is that it's very slow both in terms of startup and movement speed, so it really isn't used all that much. Perform the motion again to cancel flight early.

+ |description= Doom sends out a volley of lasers in all directions on the ground, or down and away from him in the air, in a set of five shots each. On the ground this super is pretty good for chip and coverage, though it's kinda slow. The air version, though, is easily Doom's best super. If all the hits connect, this can do an INCREDIBLE amount of damage for one bar. It's also very good for meterdumping, stalling or going for chip. In addition, the air version of this move specifically has one other dirty thing going for it. It's frame 4, but if the opponent is not blocking already by the freeze, it is ''post flash unblockable.'' What was already a good super becomes very annoying with this in mind. If you have meter to waste with Doom (and you will from all the j.HP and Photon Shots you'll be throwing), use it on this super.

+ |description= Doom fires a ball of flame into the air, which travels up a set distance before it disappears. An incredibly underwhelming super, as it doesn't do a lot of damage, is hard to land, it's pretty slow, and has no DHC options afterward for almost all characters. You can basically forget he has this and nothing will change.

-As stated above, Doom is best used on point as a keepaway character because he is too slow to really rushdown. The j.hp is useful to down Storm from a hailstorm and every now and then to take out Sentinel in the air, if you couple a j.hp with Sentinels drone assist, you get a mini trap that builds meter.
-Also, Doom has a very good wavedash that can close the gap on his opponents very quickly. Doom's normal dash covers a lot of space, but his wavedash (df+pp) is leap after leap, covering full screen rather fast.
+== Other ==
-His top priority moves are his standing and crouching hp, and his df RH (launcher). One of Doom's guardbreaks is j.lp, land, df RH ^ AC of choice. Use his df RH on opponents who are jumping in on you due to its high priority, i'm not entirely sure if it has the same priority as Cyclops' df RH but  I can't imagine it having more.
+=== Taunt ===
-As an assist, Doom's rocks cover space and provide good chip, but as an AA it is not really as useful in the AA sense as Clops or Commando, I think of it as a pseudo drones assist. Also, it counters Commando but loses to higher priority assists like Psy AA, Clops AA etc., and beam assists like Cable proj or IM proj.
+[[Image: MvC2 DrDoom Taunt.png]]
+"*evil laugh*"
-Also, his Photon Array Super (HCB PP) has instant start up in the air and does great chip damage. His other supers should be disregarded because they have no practical use and leave Doom open for retaliation.
+=== Colors ===
+First row: {{lp}}, {{hp}}, A1. Second row: {{lk}}, {{hk}}, A2.
-Doom also has an unblockable, two guard breaks, and an infinite but that should be covered in the appropriate section (the advanced section). So curse Richards and enjoy playing Doom!
