Character Discussion: DOCTOR DOOM

DOCTOR DOOM
(Name: Victor Von Doom)
The Fantastic Four's arch enemy and several Marvel teams like the X-Men and the Avengers, Victor Von Doom excels in the use of sorcery and a technopath as well. He is also the current ruler of the European nation of Latveria. When he was young, her mother got killed by a demon named Mephisto while his father, a Latverian doctor, failed to cure the Queen of the nation and eventually got killed in their escape in the forest. 
He was then offered for a scholarship in the Empire State University where he met Reed Richards. Upon their invention to open portals to another dimension, Richards warns Victor about the miscalculation on the device which lead to failure and scarred Victor when it exploded. He then returns to Latveria and got a metal suit from a monk where he dethroned the current Latverian King.

GAMEPLAY
Doom is considered by many as one of the best characters on point and can perform long and huge-damaging combos. He does however excels as a keepaway and zoning character with different projectiles to control space between him and his opponent. His normals are also easy to use and his specials and beam attacks are also some of the best in the game. However, he lacks in the DHC department since almost all of his hyper moves are awkward to be cancelled into.

SPECIAL MOVES AND COMMAND NORMALS
  • Hard Kick - Doom performs an upward kick and is a substitute to his normal launcher 
  • Foot Dive - Similar to Doom's special button move but travels at a slightly different angle
  • Hidden Missiles - Probably one of Doom's best move when he is called as an assist. He summons several missiles which homes to his opponent. This move is also mashable to launch more missiles and can hit OTG
  • Plasma Beam - Doom fires a vertical yellow laser beam coming out of his hands that deals damage to his opponent. This move can also be done in the air and fires downward and also hits OTG
  • Molecular Shield - Doom summons a bunch of rocks which spins around him before it fires across to the opponent. The strength of the button used determines the number of times it hits the opponent
  • Photon Shot - Doom fires a thread of energy coming out of his fingers that covers most of the screen. This move is also available in the air but can only be fired once
  • Flight - Enters Doom in flight mode with the aid of his jet boosters from his metal armor
HYPER COMBOS
PHOTON ARRAY (Level 1 Hyper Combo) - Doom's hyper move version of Photon Shot. Doom shoots even larger and powerful threads of energy that comes out of his fingers. This move can also be done in the and hits OTG. The maximum damage of this hyper varies depending on how close your opponent is.
SPHERE FLAME (Level 1 Hyper Combo) - Doom creates a spherical energy with both hands and then shoots it upward. Your opponent has to be close to Doom for it to deal heavier damage. If the sphere does not hit his opponent upward, the ball splits into several energy threads that goes downward. This move is best comboed after his Molecular Shield special move.
DOOM TIME (Level 3 Hyper Combo) - Doom's most damaging hyper combo and has some start-up invincibility. He summons a cylindrical tube that encases his opponent. He then sits around his robotic chair as he watches his opponent get zap with electricity before the tube explodes. This move is also mashable to gain more hits and does 440,000-479,000 of unscaled damage.

PERSPECTIVE TOWARDS THE CHARACTER
Oh! the Fantastic Four's arch-rival and one of the strongest villains ever produced by Marvel. Well, to tell you guys the truth, I very seldom use this character because he lacks DHC options. His hyper moves are also very awkward and difficult to use in combos. But, I think for those who are familiar and have mastered Doom, my worry won't be a problem for them. I mean I've seen videos of players using Doom and I was like @___@ AWESOME!! Well, I think I won't be as great as them when it comes to Doom since my loyalty and mastery belongs to the girls of the roster. Well guys, is Doom your favorite character? Is he easy to maneuver? Let me know! :)
