i agree doom is godlike =D
So whats a good and basic strategy against Sentinle when using strider/doom?
sentinel sucks against both of them since they spam a bunch of tiny objects over the screen and sent is too huge and just gets hit lol, i try and stray away from sentinel teams when fighting against strider. sentinel relies on small amount of hits and high damage so you need someone who can stay in control in a match more with like resets and what not. so you’re pretty much set since strider is perfect for that, spam with birds and teleports+doom just like every trap you’d do. if you get ORBS off you can go to striders infinite. with doom, just keep the typical game plan because its especially effective against sentinel
dont ever undestimate the robot. Hes not top 2 in the game for nothing and he seriously wreck s\d. I think the only bad matchup sent has is against cable but that can be side stepped with good sent teams.
the only time sent is easy to beat with s\d is if the opponent doesn’t know shit about fighting s\d.
this match is much easier with drones on your team. If you get a chance to call drones, its a free activation for strider.
best strat is to sandwhich him between doom. That way its an easy pin. Don’t ever fight him in the air unless you have orbs. Strider controls the ground to normal jump height. Thats where you want the fight to take place.
always go for the infinite if you land a hit orbs on a stand sent. If you have sent in the corner during orbs, tag into doom and do his infinite, to photon super, then dhc orbs. doom inf on sent is extremely easy, you can fuck up the timing and still land it. Gotta love that fat hit box.
try not to fuck up any execution sensitive spots like teleport into wall climbs or grab super instead of orbs. Thats basically a dead strider.
pick your spots and play patiently. If you have the trap mastered, that helps quite a bit. Sent can basically spit check strider all day and if you teleport he can get away. Remember that j+rh overheads sent for 9 damage and you can do this 2-3 times during orbs. Cheap
s\d vs sent solo is not easy.
Sentinel shits on doom big time. Don’t even touch that match if you’re doom.
If a sentinel is good enough, he’ll find a way to win… the only guaranteed way to beat a sentinel is to reach across the cabinet to your opponent’s side, and mash their start button… ( I dont condone or encourage this though.) Another really good anti sentinel is… Sentinel.
Quit riding sentinals mechanical dick… j/k 
Please make a list of characters that you want strategies for using against Sentinel. This way we know what to help you with if we wish to help you at all. And for the rest of us, the topic is “How do I beat Sentinel” not who is the best character in the game.
Since we’re off topic so bad here, I’ll say that Storm or Sentinel is the absolute top dog in MvC2. And my vote goes to Sentinel.
IMO every argument for Storm being the best is usually a side effect of SOMETHING Sentinel has riding her coat tails. And that [among other things] just solidifies Sentinel’s presence at the top.
Now, let’s try to get back on topic.
Sentinel killed doom when people learned how to fly.
One of the main problems with Doom is people still play him like it’s 02. Dash Fierice against mags is great, and when sent is flying around safe ground photons piss him off. His sj.u addf is godlike.
He has more tools than sj photons and j.hp.
a good trick to hit a flying sent is to sj and photon super. You want sent to fly over it. You throw out as many as you can before doom can be hit. Then you dhc into a safe super.
since flight mode is dependant upon where the point character is, you just switched max flight mode for sent from sj height to ground height since you just dhc-ed. Doom photons will hit that sent a majority of the time unless the sent player knows how to get around it.
Its an old trick. I land it quite often in tourney play.
either people never really knew about it or forgot about it.
doom inf on sent is redicously easy. You can fuck up the timing and still get it. Gotta love that fat robot.
also dooms overheads aren’t that bad. The ones that aim @ the front are easy to block but the ones where he goes overhead xup are much harder to block. He’s not magnus or anything but people do get hit by them if they’re not paying attention.
GC, TK photon super is beastly. That tk photon super is like 0 frames.
Cable is a good anti-sent i would think. Since sent is so big that most projectiles will hit him, cable’s grenades work well to keep him at bay, and one sent slip-up leads to AHVB.
A single quick flight error on sentinel’s part, and AHVB x3 is gonna chase him down. I will say, Sentinel is good, but if someone knows what to look for in a Sentinel match, and knows what is considered a Sentinel “error” and can punish it, then thats who is going to win the match. Even punishing with something thats NOT AHVB x3 works. As shoultzula said, throw out something safe, and then DHC into something that rapes sentinel hard.
I’ve also learned being patient works well. Just jump around and block for about half a minute until they get impatient, then call psy and ROM into a snapout. I don’t know, sometimes if I call psy at the wrong moment, she’s dead.
What’s a Sentinel error look like?
sentinel doesnt have too many errors unless he’s playing cable.
flying without unfly = AHVB
a blocked RP = AHVB
FF Combo incorrectly timed = AHVB
Pushblocked HSF = AHVB
Incorrectly timed wake up unblockable = pushblock + AAA , AHVB
incorrectly timed COME in unblockable = bullet, AHVB
Crouching during a cables j.hp = AHVB
You can’t unblockable an incoming Cable even if it’s perfectly timed.
really? never knew that. maybe cuz im not a cable person haha. is there any particular reason why?
Mash j.hp xx HVB as soon as you come in. You’ll super before you land on the beam.
Describe the:
<<Incorrectly timed wake up unblockable = pushblock + AAA , AHVB>>
for me? More details about pushblock+AAA, please.
Dr. Doom has an inifinite on Sentinel??? if so what is it plz.
oh, i guess i already knew that.
for the incorrectly timed wake up unblockable if they do it a little late. pushblock + aaa. heres a link to a vid
