Marvel VS Capcom: Infinite/Doctor Strange

Dr. Strange

The Doctor is in!

In a nutshell
Dr. Strange is a strong zoner with high mix up potential. With a large variety of tracking projectiles, he can keep the opponent guessing with his teleports. Bolts of Balthakk is possibly the best beam projectile in the game as it hit confirms, locks down and can't be reflected. Spell of Vishanti is a tracking hyper that can hit an opponent at any height and Strange also has access to Seven Rings of Raggadorr which is a projectile counter. Pick Dr. Strange if you want a character that can lock you down with tracking projectiles and create mix up opportunities from them.

Unique Trait

Spacial Magic: Dr. Strange has the ability chain Grace of Hoggoths together and place them in locations around the screen at a distance. He can mix and match the different graces together as well as space them out in unique ways. Using a Flame of the Faltine, he can create a projectile that tracks the Graces around the screen before eventually tracking down the opponent.
