Chaos Breaker/Dorgan

Introduction

Playing as Dorgan is an uphill battle, as his overall range is poor and his offensive options are relatively weak. He lacks the meter-building options of the other characters and it can be difficult for him to score damage. The only reasons you should play as Dorgan are: for fun, for a challenge, or just for the satisfaction of landing his super throw.

The Basics

back to top

Combos

Mid-screen

2A xx 2A xx 2A

• Basic link that can't be dash-clashed and comes out fast enough that it's difficult to punish effectively.

5B/6B>236A(>236236X)

• Basic 2-in-1 to supercancel. 6B has slightly more range but comes out a tick slower. One of Dorgan's primary sources of damage.

j.D, land, 5B>236A

• Anti-clash combo that works pretty well.

j.C, land, 6321463214X

• Jump-in to super throw. Pretty straightforward.

Corner

Mana Counter, 2C > [4]6B, [4]6A

• Needs the right spacing in order to work properly, but a great way to take away damage from a Mana Counter.

Requirements: Rune Ax

2C > Rune Ax IB, 2C > [4]6B, [4]6A

• A nasty corner combo that requires the Rune Ax. Hit them high for the Rune Ax IB, then juggle them after for solid damage.

Requirements: Rune Ax

j.C, 5C > Rune Ax IB (x3), j.C, 5C > 236B

• Basically a 100% combo that requires a full meter to do. Works best on Troll, but will also work to varying degrees on other tall characters like Nsidor, Bernhard, and Curse Head.

• Dorgan picks the opponent up and lifts them over his head and drops them behind him in something resembling a gorilla press drop. Cannot be pursued on knockdown.

Specials

Target Wall: 236A/B

• Fiery axe slash that hits mid.
• A version is faster and will combo from B normals.

• Burst cancellable.

Target Floor: 236C

• C version travels the the furthest, hits up to 5 times, and only knocks down on the last hit. Starts up in 9F.
