Guilty. Dropped him before I had a chance to learn real combos with him. My all out scrub team of Wolv/DHC-Glitch/Lame-assist will probably be as far as I go in this game anyway. I was just gonna put Tron last instead of Doom, Sent but I might have to actually go to training mode to learn her…

I’m still more interested in Super than MvC3, and I’m gonna try playing BB seriously again for the first time since CT. Is GA Tech still going to be on Spring Break this Friday? I’d even bring a console on the Marta with me if somebody can bring a TV.

IMO, the nerf was a bit excessive. They needed to nerf his damage & his health. Just obliterating his health might have been counter-productive.

Still, it’ll be nice to see this man chipped to death before he can even move around now :lol:

903

Anyone know if it’s cool to advertise games I want to sell here? I’ve decided to do some house keeping. Of course it would be all private business between me and whomever. If not, I’ll be taking a stack of 360/PSP/DS games to Gamestop.

904

Oh this is just the beginning and I’m sittin back eatin popcorn

905

Have fun. I’m personally out, MvC3 is going to Gamestop today.

906

Man, Wolverine would destroy Sentinel in one slash in the 90’s XMEN cartoons, now he gets to do it in one combo like he should’ve been able to.

Oh and Cardell I’ve seen flyers for B&B around our school so turn out could be a lot higher for next one.

907

I really hate the direction Capcom is going with their games. It seems like now they just listen to scrubs complaints and go ahead and just patch them into the game. The new Capcom is why we have attrocities like AE. I mean Super is the only game that Capcom actually decided to patch correctly. Imagine if they brought Vanilla Sagat down to 800 health. That would make no sense. Yet people still complained about Super. So stupid.

Sentinel has a lot of issues and definitely didn't deserve a nerf of that magnitude.  I'll still use Sentinel because I used him in MVC2 and I in general like the character.   The thing is that Sentinel has a lot of issues, but scrubs didn't want to learn it.  I mean do you know how ineffective Sentinel becomes when you block?  I mean he has a command throw and all, but when you can telegraph it you get a fat combo against him.    Sentinels REAL issue was his DAMAGE.    So now people crafty enough to use him will just still kill you in one combo.  Yeah the jump/flying pan Sentinels will die a horrible death a lot earlier, but real Sentinel players will persist and still be a problem REGARDLESS.

I mean Capcom has shown they know how to balance overpowered characters. SSFIV Sagat was a good balance. His health was dropped to average health, he still kept a lot of his tools. His damage was normalized but not significantly reduced, and he had a powerup which you had to be somewhat crafty to use. He is still a powerful character in the right hands. But they took the time to balance him.

The Sentinel nef is just outright lazy. They should not be doing balance patches this early in the game unless it’s to take out infinites or loops. But health nerfs are somethig that should be done 6 to 8 months down the line.

908

this :coffee:

& this :razz:

im still peeved that the change to spencers M followup to jcc highgrapple ruined my favorite&most awesome lookin combo :bluu:

909

Why would they patch Chun-Li or Phoenix? Capcom loves for people to mash on buttons. Which is why Wesker, a stupid character who can evade AND does stupid damage still has ABOVE average health. Wesker is a button pressing character, and no one complains about them. You may get lucky and mash against wesker then get a yourself. Because real games are totally based on random luck and who mashes the hardest.

Sentinel gets slack because he punishes those tactics. So people just can’t mash freely. Sentinel gets heat because he’s a scrub killing character. Just like Hulk is and Hagger is. You can’t swing against those characters because you’ll get F’ed up.

910

are you kidding bran? wesker edged out taskmaster for biggest asshole in the game :rofl:

srs tho… hate those guys

Ok Flyers are being created as we speak, The Impact Crew has some business we need to finalize in our meeting later this week and you all will be hit with a slew of new updated info to spread across multiple communities. (Yes I am still working on the Rankings lists, I should be done later on today)

At this time I am working on paper flyers myself just to get a buzz,soon the UV double sided flyers will be done and we can go from there. The UV Double sided flyers will have the next 2 upcoming tournaments on them
EXAMPLE: Front April 30th Atlanta Revival, May Atlanta Revival, also a shout out for the next Atlantic South division tournament ala Alabama Crisis, or Raekwon 187’s monthly joints, Chattown Beatdown etc-etc

In regards to Sentinels Nerf:
The fact that Crapcom ran to nerf Sentinel as a character 1st, pretty much lets us all know, we as the hardcore gamers don’t matter or mean much to them and the decision making in regards to the “Noob Era” of gaming.
Sentinel was by far not the #1 Character needed to be nerfed in this game.
I’ve stated before,Sent is a Big,Mutant Killing machine,he is designed to be over powering and impenetrable.
Nerf his damage output NOT HIS HEALTH!!!
I don’t really even agree with a big Damage decrease either, I mean take a look at Branh’s post as an example, so people complain about Sentinels damage yadda yadda,they sit down with the game and realize wait “This dudes offense is pretty lame and if I block,I don’t fear him as much” well if that’s the case, shouldn’t a Sentinel player be rewarded for hitting you if he’s so easy to block,cross up,attack and punish??
If he hits you, it should fucking hurt, to the point where noobs don’t just jump in all the time,or dive kick,or quadruple mash assists while there tapping light attack, jump up air dash constantly or like Zero just gotta do the little cross up attack EVERY TIME he jumps in the air.
It should hurt so much that people have to actual strategy and not just run up tap the fastest attack said character has,tap assist, then attack again and due to his slow attacks, get a free combo and build 1700 meters.

1 Million on his life was fine,nerfing him to the same life as a human (Ryu) or below it for that matter is the ultimate slap in the face, now not only is it hard for him to chase down over half the cast, he will die from chip damage,which makes absolutely no sense because you’ve now made the “Super Dupper Armor” you gave him irrelevant AND HE’s A BIG MACHINE ANYWAY fucking morons!!

912

I heard Gief is going to get an HP nerf in AE-DLC, he’s just too damaging when he gets in close! :stuck_out_tongue:

Playing AE this week, and the twins are just too good. A certain Evil character who may or may not be playable already has one really fun combo of st.FP(pretty sure its st.FP, maybe st.MP)->Axe Kick->cr.MP->tatsu->shoryuken, and I think you can juggle with a second DP in certain corner situations… but I haven’t been able to test a lot, Norcal is ridiculous and the machine went down so I had to bail last night. :frowning: Hope to play some more before I head back.

913

i agree with ice on sent, he is a big killing robot he should be scary. just like hulk is real scary up close in this game as well… he’s hulk! he smash you for god sake.
i think they should have just gave damage buffs to shuma tron and the doorman also make it so im the only one allowed to play them :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

914

Oh great, now I’ve gotta use white-out to update my strategy guide:sweat:

If you can’t beat em, nerf em.

915

^This man knows what’s up :slight_smile:

916

I have to say, only a month in and they are nerfing shit already, it’s really kind of throwing my enthusiasm for this game off. How about let us play one version for a while, let us develop the game, and then introduce the adjustments later. Not force the game in a certain direction. It’s not even the nerf itself, which I think is fair, it’s simply the fact that they are nerfing shit a month in.

With SSF4, I could argue against the noob era of fighting games to an extent. Even though they made it easier, you still had to learn to deal with stuff, but Marvel, oh, well, let’s just complain until they change it. They are not even letting the game develop. They are basically falling to the whims of whiners that don’t want to learn hard matchups.

It’s a real shame that it seems they are going to take what is a really fun game (even though it has a lot of cheap stuff, all of it has solid counters), and just simply nerf when enough people don’t want to learn to deal with good, but beatable shit.

917

@IggyWhite: Your last paragraph is invalidated by Phoenix and X-Factor.

918

Don’t worry, she’s next.

919

Plenty of people beat Phoenix, albeit running away from her. Really boring I will admit though.

You coming to eat food and play video games April 2’nd?

920

Sentinel was pulled out of his bed and thrown onto the street and shit on by capcom much like happened to gen and saggot and it is just as sweet to me this time around as when it happened to them.

Now thor is free to put his flaccid pensi inside any of the cast and then in one lightning flash concentrate it into a full-hard mighty tornado and pop them like a balloon and humble them. MIGHTY MJOLNIR

P.S.
Magneto should take out his dentures when Crapcom comes to shit his mouth too and repo his gravity squeeze that he saved money under his mattress since the great depression for. If he doesn’t take them out then he will look like he has Dragon Ages 1 teeth
