Maj: Your name always comes up whenever anyone talks about Strider/Doom. Why hasnt anyone been able to duplicate your success with that duo?
4) Attitude/Heart I feel a lot of Strider players dont put enough into it to win as much as theyd like. I remember a while back, Devil_X of Tekken/Soul Calibur was getting really good with Strider. But I felt he could never win as much as he should because of his outlook on the team (how weak it is, how limited Strider is, how crappy Doom is, etc). If you dont believe you can win, the game is already lost.
I know Strider isnt as strong as some other characters. But I definitely believe Strider has more potential than the other 55 characters in the game, and so thats why Ive played him the past decade. He has the tools to get it done, its just mistakes are unforgiving. I also feel Doom is more than strong enough to hold his own when he comes in on point against top tier, and is better than any of the other assist only characters on point (Cyclops, Commando, Psylocke, Tron). Thats how I feel, so thats how I fucking play it.
Even in situations where the match up is no good (vs Matrix) or if Im clearly losing, if I have at least a little bit of Strider and Doom and at least one meter to work with, I feel fantastic, even though I shouldnt. I feel characters should be afraid of Strider, even if they shouldnt, so I thats how I play it. Your game is a reflection of your own confidence, or lack thereof.
