Thrill Kill/Dr. Faustus/Introduction

From SuperCombo Wiki

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.
  • Great strings: lots of low-high mixup strings as well as safe counter-hit strings.
  • 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.
  • Getting an opponent into the corner can be tricky: Must rely on individual hits, counters, and long traveling strings to get opponent into the corner.
