[Newbie] Sentinel Thread - Q & A

i buff the ffly by double tapping the assist

qcb+kk+assist, lk + assist, hp, dp rp

that’s how i do it with commando…

whats the combo i see in match vids with sentinel and mag-proj assist

i know the first part goes

s. lk + mag-proj, s. lp sj cancel before the second hit comes out, then sj lk, ff lk?

and whats the easiest way to get the unfly combo in the corner

i can do s. fk, sj lk, ff lk, fp, unfly lk sometimes, but the unfly lk is so hard to hit with, is it a timing issue or speed??

A little of both timing and speed-- time it so that you unfly the exact moment that the HP hits, and hit lk immediately afterwards.

Once you get the timing down it’s pretty easy to do in the corner. What I’ll never get is how some people seem to be able to do this reliably from MID SCREEN… or off of a random frying pan…

What is the timing on going thru magneto’s shockwave? i seen chunksta and others do it when they came to our arcade in fresno. I know you have to fly too. curious. plz replay anyone. thanks

You fly “through” one pillar/beam only; you have to call an assist to get hit by that one beam and then you fly through right after they get hit. Though each beam can hit multiple characters simultaneously, they hit only once.

you don’t HAVE to call the assist. i’ve done it without calling it…

put it this way… try to time it so that you’re going to be directly over where a beam is going to come up… look at the beam directly in front of you. as soon as you see that beam go up, hold forwards, and you’ll fly between the beams. you don’t need to call an assist to have it get hit by the beams.

besides… if you’ve seen chunk do it, why not ask him? he’s a nice guy.

yeah. i’ve seen it many times too. m1x4h explained it briefly as i could understand how i do it here in my place. can save yer ass sometimes especially in a crucial match.

Interesting. Gotta try that.

seriously. it’s just one more way that sentinel destroys magneto…

thing is… the hit boxes dont’ hit in succession… so what you have is something like this…

try to remember that sentinel’s flame is invincible, and the his face is invincible, so you can “peep” into the first shockwave to pass through it.

Dude, can i get some strat VS mag & storm? i’m havin’ problems against those guys…

where can i get a move list for sent with a complete detail 'bout it’s basic moves?

who’s the better teammates for sent? here’s my current team: sent(y) ryu(y) doom(b)… and my standings here is, 7 wins 50+ loses… i’m a newbie at mvc2 and i always got whooped by experts here…

on strats. try to locate the magic “search” button just above you. There’s already a lot of discussion regarding those topics against Magneto and Storm.

for a movelist. go to gamefaqs.com , it’s there.

it’s really up to you man. if you want you can try Team Watts [my AV]. do you have any good stomp patterns and zoning strategies with your sent+doom?

sent/doom rocks is good but you can replace ryu with all sorts of characters and have a solid team… cable, storm, strider, cyke, ironman, magneto, ehh loads of other midtiers that work well with doom… and everyone gets happy time with drones

Thanks dude… What’s TEAM WATTS anyway?

i’m new to sent so i don’t have any good stomp patterns and zoning strats yet…

Well, i can replace ryu with blackheart… :wgrin:

watts is blackheart / sentinel / commando… as he said… it’s his avatar.

yes. thank you for that sir m1x4h. i was about to say that…

yes you can replace ryu with some other characters. sent/doom is fine. IMO, you can try to place in storm or strider. they’re both good.

hmm. on blackheart… ermmm… i don’t have any ideas, maybe chip damage. bh+sent is good. but i can’t picture out bh+doom. maybe i just never even tried or seen it.

EDIT: changed my AV already, it’s not my AV anymore FYI. but it’s sill BH/Sent/CC. LOL

All right, i’ve started trying to learn Sentinel’s Unfly combos, but I can never get the lk on the other character after I do fp.

My unfly setup goes like this…

launch, lp, lk, lp, lk, fly, fp, lk, unfly, lk…etc.

Well, after the unfly, I can never get that LK off…any suggestions?

First, maybe you should lessen the number of hits to help you out a bit. Second, you got the f. lk, f. fp backwards. Third, when you hit the f. fp, make sure you unfly, and as soon as you see the flames go back to yellow, hit lk.

Hope that helps.

uh…

after the air throw, you can do lk, lk, u/f rp … right?

so, can i do that after a launch, lp lk lp lk, air throw?
