If you have doom on point and are fighting iceman of any skill level it is best to try to draw him toward the center of the screen and keep him there. It is rather difficult to cross up somebody who doesnt take block damage from most attacks, but i have seen it done. If you know how to cancel dooms moves correctly you can smother even a little bastard like ice man in the middle of the screen. Remember, You have to be deceptive but not stealthy.
It is very easy to play with doom and make it seem as if you dont know how to use him and then unleash hell, But if you cant draw iceman to make mistakes then you need other charaters whos assists like dooms anit-air that will chip away at iceman. When i know i am playing an iceman regaurdless of who else the other person picks, i make it a priority to take iceman out even if it means wasting supers on snapbacks to bring a crippled iceman back to finish. Most iceman players are used to that anchor of being able to sit back and out chip anybody. If you do have trouble in general facing iceman then start to practice using people who can simply outpower him with chip, like say a spiral, doom { anti-air }, and then ken or war machine. You will learn very quickly that when the pressure is on, ice-man can be smashed easilly with chip damage alone. If you use spiral and doom right you can make it impossible even at a distance for iceman to get out more then a few ice beams before he is dead.
To learn how to pressure iceman up close, use ken on point and call doom anti-air. Even veteren iceman players will not be able to help leaving the corner to avoid being chiped to death by shoryukens, so the moment he leaves the corner, do kens little cross-up roll well... any way it is possible to beat out a good iceman player with doom on point but if you dont have extensive knowledge on iceman weakness then you will always have trouble.

Doom vs. Iceman is all about angles. You want to cut off Iceman's angles, and the best way to do that is to rush him down. Your c.fierce beats all of his physical jump-in attacks. Blocking a s.rh gives you space to run in with a low short and establish pressure. You can still pin him with regular photons to keep him from hurling an icebeam. If you have Cable on your team, practice CAHVB as this is an invaluable tool in this fight.

molecular shield chips iceman. One of the very few moves that does. Thats just enough to get him shaking. I personaly like to pin him down and use MS to open him up.
