Who cares.
I do. Plus it’s nice to see a forum post not completely ripping on me.
Drew, the health nerf is just completely ridiculous. Sent is slow bulky character, who now has the health of a fast smaller character. Sent didn’t need 1.3 mil health, it was a tad bit insane, he should have really only had 1.1, 1.2 max. Sent’s S is so incredibly unsafe it’s not even funny, unfortunately rather then take note of this, people just cried really hard about Sentinal rather then learning the ways to beat him. It really makes me wish I started playing fighting games hardcore back in the days of Marvel 2 and ST so I could play the Fighting game elitist card and talk about how in my day we learned to deal with shit and get around it, Iceman’s still top tier right?
Haha, if ripping on you actually bugs you that much, I wouldn’t do it anymore.
Thought I do have my own thoughts on the topic of Sentinel, there are other reasons I would say “who cares”.
Mostly due to the fact that I don’t enjoy seeing or participating in circular logic and petty bickering that might come in eventuality. Though, if it stays chill, whatever.
Two - three weeks after release people use the easiest character in the game? Really? I wonder why.
They played him because results with him are incredibly easy, why do you think these exact top players are saying he was over rated a week after Final Round? Just because you watch one stream and play the game on weekends doesn’t make you a very good candidate to be arguing that Sentinel is balanced.
TL;DR You’re pretty much just like every other scrub online, thinking that Sentinel was good/OP.
man I love that “robots are bad” shirt I wear often 
It’s not about Sentinel, it’s about patching a game immediately without allowing strategies that are crucial for understanding what is powerful in the game to develop. Without allowing games to develop you can’t get a very good sense of what really needs to be changed to balance it.
I hate the fact that it was patched unannounced. I don’t particularly care that Sent is nerfed. I’ve already come up with a cheaper team.
Yeah, Dan… I’m quite surprised by them making unannounced changes like that whereas they made sure everyone knew what changed on SF4 pretty much every time. Maybe they plan to update very often… maybe it was a mistake, who knows. Either way, it sucks for Marvel’s player base.
It just isn’t MVC without the imbalance and bugs.
See, I’m just worried that I’m going to spend a long time perfecting my new team (which relies heavily on Hsien-Ko’s powered up pendulum assist and can also use the DHC trick fairly well) only to see vital portions of it cut out. I like my RTS and MMOs to be balanced regularly, but it feels really wrong to balance fighting games aside from removing glaring bugs.
I have a decent grasp of the basics, so I’m sure I’ll be able to adapt fairly quickly if they change it again, but I am unhappy.
On a more pleasant note: No more Phoenix or Sentinel on my team! I’m no longer a tier whore!
Welcome back.
Hsien-Ko’s pendulum assist is brutal. I hate it.
Dan taking other players teams just because they made a video on it? Tsk tsk.
Getting pendulum armored is a pain and never guaranteed. No worries.
Agreed, any character that can put early pressure on Hsien pretty much makes her useless, and I’m willing to bet Dan doesn’t have much of a Hsien game yet lol.
My Hsien game is as bad as my Spencer game right now, but I plan to be running Ammy/Hsien-ko/Spencer.
So far the team feels like they support each other really, really well, and I feel like I am able to get Hsien ko into third spot powered up fairly easy. The team does kind of fall apart if snapbacks are used, though. I’m really liking the general robust feeling of the team, though.
I miss the days when talking about Hsien-ko meant we were talking about Darkstalkers. Really miss that series.
I would be surprised if a new Darkstalkers game was not announced at the capcom event coming up.
I don’t even know what team I’m running. All I know is that it has Doom on it, because Doom is unparalleled badass.
