Sentinal’s flying bomb is underrated mainly due to Drones being so good. However it does have some advantages.
-bombers have faster startup than drones
-Even if the opponent hits Sentinal before he withdrawls, the flying bombs still deploy
-very few projectiles in the game cover a height that would destroy the bombers
-the bombers themselves are hitboxes and can stuff jump ins and crossups
-explosion effects obscure what’s happening on the screen, so you can get some pressure in if the opponent blocks the bombing
-they will rescue you from getting combo’d, similar to hidden missiles
Another good thing about bombs is thanks to their low hit stun you can use them in evil resets, most notably they also OTG so if you have set ups with that incendiary grenade you can likely reset into some insanity.
@linknights, well the combo I use is 8H or 8S, 2L, 2M, 5H, 236L, (dash if from mid screen), OTG gun, 2M, 5H (2 hits), 236M, (dash if from mid screen), S, neutral sj, M, M, H, Phantom Dance Super. It does around 560k to 640k since phantom dance is so random but I feel its the most reliable combo since his higher damage output combos require a lot of fancy teleporting (which are maybe one or two even then its only about 40-60k extra damage). Use the Gun a lot for stuffing chip supers and telelporting but I think you already know that since you use Chris lol. Umm… lets see make sure you always connect your combos because Ghost Butterfly and Cobra Strike are pretty unsafe on block. I’m sure there’s more stuff that I need to tell you but it hasn’t come to mind just yet. I’ll probably talk more during the next meeting on Wesker.
I do agree with Taozen about the good assist character though I keep telling Aria that but he doesn’t wanna change characters :wasted:
So to sum it all up… with the combination of Chris, I can turn the whole Ground and half screen Vertically into a HalfScreen Bombsite? I should try that now, Thanks! Assist B. Not A no more. Got it! So i should keep Sentinel?
Aria has a good Assist Char. TRON. I mean if he’s comfortable with his team, he just stick with it.
As for me, I switch alot, I like playing lots of chars but im not good with most of them.
@VII if i can remember all that Text… LOL, but i’ll keep using him for now in training. Sentinel’s Flying Carpet Bomb convinced me to stick with him. Uhm any meterless highdamaging combos? Like what Chris can do, bout 500k without meter but builds meter? I’m keeping Phoenix nonetheless. She’s quite fun.
I still dunno really the Chemistry between Phoenix and Chris in my team.
I don’t know I would have thought a beam assist or something along the lines of Ammy’s Cold Star since his Felicia and X-23 have a lot of crossup and reset shenanigans. I mean Tron assist is good yes but I believe his team could benefit more from a beam assist or even a good anti-air assist like Tao has been using with Dante’s Jam Session. I’d like to think that his team could somewhat resemble that of the Zero/Sentinel Drones Combination if it had the better assist.
LOL Tell him that. I just think his team is very Moe. Now we have to ask him, “What’s up with your team… It’s Very Unique” Well actually watching some Clakey D stuff, i think Tron and X-23 work well together. Felicia… I have no idea.
@Chrisis- you guys can come over today if you want. @tao-really? ill pm you then. @link- dood, i dont know the definition of early. if you want to come over, then i say the earlyest you can come over is 8am. nah, make it 830.
Sent bombs are good. taozen covered why. It’s especially important now because of the health nerf and that Sent is very vulnerable during drones release. That assist goes great with my Sent/Doom/Phoenix team if I still played it.
I tried out Morrigan today. For some reason, zakuignited has all the best character choices. The more characters I play off his teams, the more I like them. Once I figure out how to use Tron I may end up maining a mirror of his team. She isn’t that bad as an anchor. People don’t seem to use her command grab enough (as opposed to me, who only command grabs) and you can kill chars off a lvl 3 XF/lvl 3 command grab. Plus her durability is a big plus, considering the fact that she has assist invincibility so she’ll usually come in with close to a full bar of health.
I might see ya’ll tomorrow. I have a dentist appointment today.
I semi-approve of this. From my experience so far, X-23 works best with beam/long range (unibeam, whirlwind, Arrow Kick) or lockdown (drones, cold star, lightning legs, tatsu) assists that push the opponent into her after she crosses over. Storm’s whirlwind is pretty cool when used in tandem with Air Talon B as it pushes the opponent so far back, you can setup ambiguous j2C or j.Bx2 after. However, I can see Tron Candle working as it can protect X as she charges her different lunge attacks. It also bides her time to escape dangerous situations as she can’t even afford to take chip damage her health is so low. So I wouldn’t write off Aria’s team so hastily.
Outside of dirt-nap shenanigans, I’ve been getting diminishing returns on Jam Session assist, fortunately Dante has nothing but good assists to choose from.
You guys are meanies! :razzy:
Morrigan’s awesome, but I can’t stop trying to wavedash with her. Have you heard her english voice call in Viper? Almost as awesome as Dokterr Dewwm! Those Chun/Tron/Phoenix mirrors were too hilarious, we need to run that back!
I may be able to make it out tonight if you guys are having a session.
Don’t get me wrong, I believe that Aria’s X-23 and Felicia are on par with the rest of us. Its just that I don’t feel like there is much of a threat from Tron in general even with lvl3 Xfactor. I suppose just keep alternates in mind and experiment around
That was my first time playing Crazy Taxi 2. Crazy Taxi 1 money matches, anyone?
And lol@Pokemon Capture Game being amazingly addicting.
@VII Yes, a beam assist would be helpful and I completely understand why, but I don’t want to drop anyone for now. I may consider doing so after playing a bit longer though. I still haven’t fully grasped that which makes Marvel Marvel; I’m pretty sure I’m not playing it like a Marvel game.
Why don’t you like Tron assist or anchor? Granted, I mash on Tron assist and my Tron as anchor only knows how to j.C, but that aside, she’s perfectly awesome.
And thanks for that video. I should probably study it a bit more.
@linknights I’m not comfortable with my team. Or any team.
Some general Tron things, your C eats up projectiles with her fists, remember to use it. TK drills can be very effective at getting in in certain situations. The Servebot launch is nice and slow, covering space for a long time. The damage output on her is pretty good especially with X-factor just remember not to do anything too risky since her mobility isn’t her strongest aspect and getting knocked away can be just as bad as losing life. I think she’s an excellent assist and excellent anchor.
I think its mainly because she doesn’t have that one assist that she had in MVC2 where the satellite rings come out and do a crap load of damage. I suppose my fanfactor for her isn’t as high as Felicia or X-23 and if you would want to experiment around with other characters I would suggest switching Tron out that is all.

Edit -As for being anchor, from the matches that I’ve seen where Tron is left by herself and activates xfactor or combos into it, Xfactor always seems to run out when she gets to the final opposing character simply due to her long combos to get the full damage or at least enough to take out a character out (This is not counting the time it takes to get in for a bnb combo). Then Tron is usually put in the situation of facing a lvl 3 Xfactor near full hp opposing character with not that much of a keep away game let alone any time. Tron can charge the opponent anyway but even if she does get in and does her bnb I would suspect there wouldn’t be enough time to make a difference in the outcome of the match. Of course she doesn’t have to Xfactor right at the start or combo into it right at the start and instead activate it when the last opponent appears but I think her combos just take too long and time would just run out anyway. If she did get a tiny bit of a damage boost then I reconsider all of this. Again this is from my experience and what I’ve seen.
I want to go assuming I can get there. ^.^
