I need some very good advice other than “build meter than DHC into storm” with using msp against a scrub. I know, cable is done once sentinel is gone, but its so hard to do that. Sentinel’s range just cuts out mag’s by a mile. Sentinel can dodge HG’s if not doing a move, and EM diisruptors are a bit narrow. I’ve been trying running away and that pisses the opponent off, but doesnt win the match. Anyone know how to destroy a sentinel, getting that one hit you need?
Very bad on your comment about beating a sentinel. Never try to use a hyper grab because that shit will hardly connect now a day. People can mash out of HG easily. When using EM disruptors you got to called out storm projective assist too. Don’t get to reckless when playing against a sent. Try blocking when mag dashes. Don’t be a fool and get hit by the pan. Remember sent. will always fly low when fighting Mag. Try using more of those sj.lk against a sent. because once connect the first hit them rom that sent.
Some ideas:
Switch glitching s.lp then combo to c.hk+storm-A = very effective. Most mid-lvl sents jump away. That MIGHT become the clean hit you’ll need.
Practice on sent resets, and watch some vids.
Learn to get around sent’s size and how to cross him up. Good tools are to s.lp in close range then chain to (#1)square jumps (SJ,stick to neutral, wait a bit,[quick successions]PP,sj.hp,hold stick towards opponent,sj.hk), (#2)column jumps (SJ.uf HP/HK wait until you crossup XX ADD HP,HK) or even good 'ol trijumps, but w/ a twist, maybe 3hits overhead or trijumping twice in a row.
Watch out for his assists. Bait them, dodge them, get around them, counterassist them with psy. Just avoid getting hit. If you do ANY of the above tools but you still don’t get a hit in, back off and dash out. Build more meter for storm, or maybe go to psy-button-masher mode. That’s what I do. =)
No, don’t be a psy scrub like me, many times sent waits her out and punishes her while rendering you helpless.
But if you do get a hit in, rape him, or if you prefer, snap him out. I prefer raping him, I love romming w/ 5 hits each rep…
Hope that helps.
good shit guys. i’ve improved my mag game and its going pretty well. but i learn that you have to know when to rush and sometimes running away buys good time. some sentinels are impatient :karate: then rape
Just a reminder, most mid-lvl sent players avoid blocking low when fighting rushers esp. mags, fearing more the crossups and overheads you might do to them. You know what to do to ggpo…
Grabs work, Grabs work, also counter assist them and when sentinel tries to protect their assist, example HSF, you rush it down, but keep in mind if he can DHC into storm or not…
this isn’t good to start out with… if blocked, prepare to get smacked by capcom (or which ever AAA they got), followed by hp, rp, hsf combo, which leads to a near dead storm, or if its c.hp unblockable, near dead mags also.
