Ah yeah, forgot about the US release.
I only have one setup here with a PS3 which will most likely be Marvel since I don’t play Arcana. If you want Arcana, bring a setup with Arcana.
I get out of class at 2:20, so I’d say anytime after 3 will be fine with me.
Edit: Tiodamus, check yo PMs
This is my love letter to Hyper Sentinel Force.
Generally you can combo from L Rocket Punch xx HSF into M Rocket Punch xx HSF and land all 6 waves against anyone when you’re mid-stage, but when you’re in the corner you run into character specific issues.
L Rocket Punch xx HSF, M Rocket Punch xx HSF hits fully on:
Akuma, Amaterasu, Hsien-Ko, Morrigan, Chris, Ryu, Viewtiful Joe, Felicia, Wolverine, X-23, Iron Man, and Sentinel
Once the last HSF hit lands you can then link into something else like S to whatever or H Rocket Punch xx Plasma Storm(only because you can), but for everyone else they will fall out during the second HSF. However, if you use L Rocket Punch more it changes things.
L Rocket Punch xx HSF, L Rocket Punch xx HSF hits fully on everyone but Zero.
L Rocket Punch xx HSF, L Rocket Punch xx HSF, L Rocket Punch xx HSF hits fully on everyone that takes the L Punch, M Punch version.
Furthermore…
L Rocket Punch xx HSF, L Rocket Punch xx HSF, L Rocket Punch xx HSF, L Rocket Punch xx HSF hits fully on:
Amaterasu, Morrigan, Viewtiful Joe, Wolverine, and Iron Man.
Hitstun scaling makes everyone fall out of a fifth HSF attempt. Also, as far as I can tell, there’s no difference between hitting the initial L Rocket Punch on a standing opponent or OTG.
Is this an optimal use of meter? Not really, but the Sentinel Air Show must go on.
Was that your 252 number? ill see if julian is hosting at uncc im trying to play, need a break from job searching…
Not sure if we’re talking about the exact same thing. I don’t know much about the matchups in Marvel so I’m not disputing who should be where… What I meant was… even though it was the wrong decision to attack (since he lost 2 bars), Amaterasu still had nothing to react to on the screen except his own hit confirm into combo. From what I’m seeing, he would have to intentionally not hit confirm into the 2nd jC (as well as the assist) hoping that Sent was calling an assist so he could avoid getting hit / counter the situation? That’s just my understanding, maybe he could have done something else that would have allowed him to continue his combo?
Like I was saying in the last thread, I’m going to be on Arcana for a good while. If I’m not playing Arcana (in general), it probably means I’m just not playing fighting games.lol.
If people wanna play, I wouldn’t mind doing that.
OLD MAN DOOM
Concerning that video, it’s probably a smarter decision to bait rather than jumping headstrong onto a character with an armored launcher and an invincible assist. That’s just me I guess?
Will! I have the request off in for Final Round, and I’ll know for sure if it’s good tomorrow when I go in and check the schedule for next week. If I got it, I’ll be off Fri/Sat/Sun.
Will! Demo! RIDES to ATL?! Sorry I’ve been so out of the loop when it comes to the boards. You know I’m good for the money, but I’d really rather not drive (tires) if someone has a spot.
Hiddenmissaiyles. Foutedive.
Seriously, Sentinel can’t be the best character in the game; there’s no way. He’s not really even that threatening on offense, he just does a shitload of damage. Try to use him against any fast character with an instant overhead and your defense turns into a flurry of guesses in which Sentinel gets roboraped and dies. Yes he has a command throw, and yes you have up-back. Blocked launcher attempt isn’t too hard to punish either. I’m slightly inclined to agree with Angus on the best character being Dante. I haven’t seen another character that can do as much as he can yet.
Brandino is the beacon of positivity.

I wasn’t defending his decision just trying to explain it without blantly saying scrub and calling it day. MvC3 does seem to have a few more options to start a match though as in MvC2 anytime I’d fight a Magneto there was almost no way to start the match without having to getting into a guessing game with him in your face. It at least seems so far that you can keep some distance from people at the start anyways.
As for Sentinel, don’t discount him yet. Keep in mind the game is still young and not just the Ammy/Wolvie/Chun players will grow and adapt and as long as his simple damage output is still there he’ll be dangerous. If you need proof just look at MvC2, he went from primary the best DHC in the game(Storm/Sent), to getting raped by Cable because of his size, to beating Cables because of his maneuverability and Flight mode. The same will go for every character.
You’re missing the point of my argument once again. He made no mistake by the j.C. The mistake was doing the j.C in the first place because
I agree that there are more ways to start the match than in the past, but if one of those ways has the potential to make you lose two full characters when you’re wrong, then that might be a chance that isn’t worth taking.
I’ll know if I can go to FR as soon as work posts the schedule; I asked off, but not until everyone else did for Spring Break. We shall see.
Don’t sweat it Shiki, Brandon says he’s quitting x game after x major like every time.
Thor’s cool. Roski/Blake, if you guys make it down somehow, you can stay in our room. Might be crowded, but better than you know, not having a room.
Alright I got you
Erikkkkkkkkkkkkk
I’m definitely not discounting him; he is dangerous, but most of that comes into play when you’re going after him. I probably should have prefaced my paragraph with “at this moment.” He’s definitely top now but I don’t think he’ll develop into #1 in the game and stay there. Just a guess though.
Brent: THANKS! I’ll post something as soon as I know.
:sad::sad::sad:
You too, Matt. :lol:
I didn’t see that bit about you requesting off until just now. Actually I think you typed that while I posted! Or vice versa.
Re: That video: It’s just the new MVC3 engine being gay again.
ND Lee’s decision at the start of the round would’ve been okay in MVC2 but not MVC3. Armored attacks used to lose to jumping hard attacks and assists, no matter how invincible they were, would not become active if the point character was hit before the assist came on-screen. If that happened the assist would just taunt and the point and/or assist character would have to eat the combo. Sent and Haggar would’ve taken damage, not the other way around.
'Dunno if he used to played MVC2 and is just not completely used to the new mechanics yet but I think that shit is corny the way it is now in part 3.
'Just gotta deal with the new dumb shit I guess. Not me though. I’ma watch 85% of the players get salty/trolled at FR and then hope the remaining 15% make up an interesting finals like Winter Brawl went She-Hulk came out of nowhere and went all WNBA on Sentinel’s bitchass.
I’ll still enter it at locals for fun though.
I think a little proration would go a long way on Sent. Also, if they made frying pan not ground bounce on any and every hit, his damage output wouldn’t be so brain dead easy. That is the only part of sentinel I don’t like fighting… getting randomly hit by frying pan and losing a character. But as long as your defense is tight, that shouldn’t happen I don’t think.
People complain a lot about assists now but I think they’re going to be punished hard core once the game develops more. A lot of people are doing call assist > block and using them to start their combo / offense. If they do that, beam supers and shit can pretty much melt one of their characters, especially when you’ve got more than one long range super on your team to DHC into. Dorm fire beam into storm hail storm probably kills an assist I imagine.
It is kind of easy to be random and win…
Seems pretty easy to use a gimmick and take wins in MvC3. I miss guilty gear so much. 
- I guess people didn’t read Jimmy’s post on the first page.
- In a game where every character can kill you in 1-2 combos, how long can Sentinel be considered the best for his high damage alone?
Hey Roski/Matt, you guys think you’ll make it down friday?
I won GameStop tournament. Turnout was decent with almost 30 players but it was PURE bullshit. No unlock characters allowed (so no Taskmaster for me). It was double elim (I didnt lose) but after you lost they allowed you to buy back in if you ordered an appetizer from Champp’s. Needless to say I was becoming quite ill with them allowing guys I beat to constantly try again and again and again. I know one guy bought back in at least 4 times. With two setups available this could have been done in under two hours but as is it stretched from 8pm to almost 1am.
FINAL ROUND TRANSPORTATION:
So far its looking like Dale, Brent, Will (who will just be referred to as bitch), and Blake will (see what I didnt there didnt want to say Will will) be in my car.
Bitch: with you coming from Wilmington would it be easier to leave your car here at my place in Wilson or at Brent’s in RDU? Keep me informed.
I will be making out an itinerary of stops and sending a pm to everyone just like I did last year. But so far its looking like Dale will be stop 1, Brent/Will stop 2 and Blake stop 3.
If there is anything you want to listen to PLEASE bring it. I dont care what it is, I want the ride to be enjoyable for everyone. I personally have a Zune loaded with 30 gigs of a little of everything. Im also kinda partial to listening to conservative talk radio (aka the comedy hour). So if you have a preference in tunes/sounds feel welcome to throw it in. Those stand-up cds went a long way in keeping me fresh for the drive last year.
Yeah anybody who’s riding wit me should bring music as well. I don’t have much…
