Who thinks his character is viable in the new block?

If someone were to build him how would you go about it and what symbols do you think are his best?

I ask because i tried to build him since in the only one in my store that has him but i dont like the way my build runs and i hate running mono-symbol decks nowadays i tried to run it off of all/chaos but its not working out too well.....any ideas?

I'd suggest either an "Ivy like" build, or multiples. Possibly both if you can manage it.

On Chaos you could use Autumn's Kiss for some crazy shenanigans. Play out 3-5 attacks, then multiple the last one, giving each a damage buff, you might be able to hit +8 on the last attack.

All gives you Ivy Support and Algol's attacks. That is an interesting combo.

I'm going to substitute him in for Cervantes in my Chaos deck, swap the attacks around a bit, and see what happens.

I have a feeling it's gonna be gross. +2 damage the frist time you use it...mmmmmm

for Omar's character, I don't remember the symbols or his F/R but I do remember his E very well.

therefore I would like to see a Throw attack recursion deck with big foundation setup.

Pitch a character.

Pull back Reverse DDT.

Repeat.

shhhhhhhhh. Omar is loopy! He also shares 2 symbols with Algol... hmmm...

In fact, correct me if I'm wrong, Omar is some of the only good recursion that block 4 has atm?

- dut

I call him THROWmar

hes one of the only recursion pieces in the game. That being said he needs foundations to go off early, so im inclined to say his best bet it to tank on earth using standoff, laughable, and undoubatedly whatever king gets for damage redux, and some rashotep blanking, and run him with either multiples (tough, no momentum on earth really), or throws, specifically the king hand size killer.

I heard Omar likes to play with himself.

Just saying.

Omar off Chaos is pretty good...

I would love to go with a earth build that spams foundations and plays throws and damage pumps like a mofo with his E but the problem im having is that my games never go past turn 4 because im gettin spammed with attack and dont have any blocks to defend myself really so i came up with a build that:

plays alot of CC buffing stuff like communing, saliors rest and wild storm to spam out as many attacks as possible and damage bump the ones im sure will hit.....usually the last 2 or 3 or the 6 damage algol throw.

This coupled with ivys genius alchemist and researching the past i can usually play every card in my hand and set up pretty well since i can recure whatever i want

Im thinking of using that cervantes combo attack.....curse of the ancient mariner i believe but momentum gen is very hard to come by nowadays.

If your opponent has more momentum than you, Curse of the Ancient Mariner supplies it's own momentum.

atm i am playing with myself on earth and also on chaos. the all build will definitely wait for tekken.

i favor the choas build due to being able to abuse the 1,2,3 rites combo viciously. if you do the math, i can fling that out for... 48!!!

besides the 3 sets, i run dark geo da ray. FUN. try it

Omar is broke. Ban him now.

Dark Geodude is awesome. I'm a believer.

Omar is also fun with poking setup attacks that just have good numbers - Wheel Kick, Wild Storm, Sail Nautilus, etc.

Ed: Omar just got the entire last format banned =/

i'm really good at that, i hear

Hey, you could use Omar's F to set up Researching the Past pretty good, couldn't ya... toss 2 characters, tutor anything (Knocked Out! YESSSS Wait no symbols NOOOOO), put them on top, pass control checks, make good things happen...

Truth be told.....

JChang said:

wonder how high he could make that old Sagat super... Tiger Destruction... or something where the old Sagat allowed each momentum discarded to count for double...

in my head I constantly hear, "Over nine thousand!"

wish i had more then one 3rd rite.......

Don't worry, I only have one more than you.....

the strength of the E lies in throwing multiple attacks in a turn, not just one. throwing 1 attack only yields a +2.

over the course of the 1/2/3 rites you get +2,3,4,5,6 added to the attacks.

How would one go about getting an Omar? I cannot seem to find you in the trade forums. My friend got one of you from worlds, but seemed to "forget" that I collect the champion promos.

your "friend" (and i do use the term loosely) is selfish

anyone interested in the card can just pm/email me to work something out: [email protected]

I know how!

And yes I know very well that I won't be able to get an Omar until a week late at the most, because of SOMETHING that happened.

And when I find out what did, there will be... well, something. Haven't decided yet.
