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.
  • Good spread of practical special moves.
  • Amazingly good safe combo strings:
  • Can string safely into a stun.
  • Can reliably 2 touch opponents using just his safe strings and launch mixups.
  • 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.
  • Mid-stage juggling ability is limited.
  • Really struggles against crouching players - Faustus' low sweeps trip him when blocked.
