Well not all of us are into strict high-tournament level stuff. I play for fun in arcades, and while I know how to use high-tiers like sentinel, lately I’ve been trying to not do so as often.
Sentinel takes the fun out of it by making it too easy. If I do pick him, I try to pick some low tiers for my other guys to try and balance things out.
Heh. Then, gotmagic777, if you never want to get better, I wholeheartedly recommend crippling yourself with low-tier characters.
There are 56 characters in MvC2. Just playing the same 4 top tiers gets hella boring after a while.
It is quite refreshing and fun, to branch off and learn other chars even if they are low-tiers.

gotmagic777, don’t be one of “those guys” who only picks the god-tiers and has No clue whatsoever how to play any one else.
I’m not saying don’t play them at all, but it is nice to mix it up a little. Like 1 God tier+2 mid tiers, etc.
damn… this is sad
theres 2 ways to play marvel:
1: tournament teams. The god tiers or even high top tiers like ironman\strider\spiral teams. If your goal is to win, you might as well give yourself the best chance possible which means picking a good team.
2: play for fun. Run who you want who cares
<_Green> if a noob asked you what team they should start with in marvel
<_Green> what would you say
<Viscant> storm/sent/X
<Viscant> but definitely sentinel
<Viscant> you can’t be good at marvel if you don’t understand sentinel
<Viscant> you don’t have to pick him (although 75% of teams will)
<Viscant> but you should know enough about him that if you want to play msp or something, you know what he’s gonna do
<Viscant> if you just want to learn marvel and have only seen people play it
<_Green> http://forums.shoryuken.com/showthread.php?t=126130
<Viscant> you should probably pick storm/sent/cable
<Viscant> so you have the best chance to win
<Viscant> all 3 of those characters can win
<Viscant> when you get better, add in commando instead of cable
<_Green> specifically, this guy’s post: http://forums.shoryuken.com/showpost.php?p=3631850&postcount=8
<Viscant> but start with cable so you know what to do with/against him
<Viscant> and that’s an awful post
To each his own I suppose.
but sent might litterally be too hard to start with (execution wise), once u learn storm or even doom or something then u can learn how to move ur fingers fast enough for fast flys and the likes
Some how I find Storm’s rush down would be harder than stomp paterns… That’s how I started, learned Sentinel so I could actually do something.
Anyone wanting to pick up marvel should know this post is the stupidist thing I’ve ever seen. Anyone that really plays marvel would say the same.
Horrible post, really bad.
EDIT: And sent being hard to start with? Don’t be a fool. There is a reason everyone has him in their teams, even if theirs isn’t as good as others. The fact is, Sent is a beast, even if you don’t know how to Fast Fly combo or do other harder shit, whats so hard about standing or crouch HP? Whats so hard about j.lk being half the screen? Whats so hard about spit, RP, HSF, repeat? Whats so hard to fly around and stomp + call capcom?
Saying Sent is hard to pick up is stupid. He has things that are harder to do you should learn at some point, but having sent in your team even if you are not the BEST with him is still a good thing to have, and this way you force yourself to learn him anyway.
a lot of really bad information in this thread.
People just need to admit the game is broken. Yeah it’s got 54 characters, doesn’t mean all of them are good.
No offense to any casual players either, but I wouldn’t exactly take advice from one unless you’re casual yourself. If you want to win you need to accept the fact that the game is broken and do what you need to do. Don’t like that? Play something else.
top tiers are the better characters because of damage output
but that doesn’t mean that a “low tier” user can’t beat them with perfect control.
That’s dependent on the game. Tiers exist, yes, but how far apart those tiers are really depends on the game. Some characters are just simply flawed to the point where is doesn’t matter how ‘good’ you are with them.
You do know Sentinel has powerful nj and sj combos along with that broken ground combo, right? You don’t need fast fly to win.
I can’t stand Sentinel. Ew.
Edit: But I forgot to mention that it never stopped me from trying to play him. I still am, but I just…have something against him. Still…Sent would probably be a good addition to your team…I dunno, I’m still a scrub. Ask Parry
