i dont know if this has been answered, but if you do a snap out on an assist, how do you punish the assist?
Sentinel strategy
**Guyz… I need help on how to play my sent… i know all the moves of sent, fast fly/unfly etc… but I suck in using sents, my sents get beaten easily! what are your patterns and techniques?? specially against runaway storm, magneto, and cable!!! TNX!!! really need help!!! i dont need you criticizing me… hehe… **
this is what i do
im a nub, but this is what i recommend…use capcoms anti air assist and knock them outta the air …if you dont have capcom you could knock them down with a rocket punch i guess, and then punish them when they are down on the ground and try to keep them there.
If I’m sentinel and an opponent comes after me, Cacpom does work like afireinside said, and blackheart works as well. Usually though, I’ll pick Dr. Doom with the anti air assist, and I just keep the opponent in the corner by fly stomping, timing my assist at the right time, and calling in Dr. Doom in, and this all keeps him in the corner for a good amount of time and racks up a decent amount of chip damage. 
Re Learning Sentinel, Assistance?
Hey, I’m trying to learn Sentinel again, I started learning him back in the day where about the most advanced shit was the semi infinite.
What is the shit i need to know to be competitive with sent?
I’m also intruiged by team Matrix, i heard it’s a defensive team.
One last quesiton, how do you guys use the rocket punch assist effectively in row , I just stick it out at random and try to hit the assist.
I also think that a DHC combo is a big part in either row or santhrax i think.
So a run down of any of this would be helpful
thx
EDIT: any fast fly/ unfly combos that are common would be helpful
a decent lockdown pattern in the corner if you dont have unfly mode is to fly fk, unfly, fly fk, unfly, fly, fk… etc etc.
varying the use of ur assist during the lockdown helps as well… but be careful if he has an anti-air assist such as commando or cykes… that lockdown wont work well there since you’ll prolly get knocked out… theres lotsa variations/factors to reconsider, but i guess that’ll do for now
learn how to use your assists effectively…ex, magnus’ proj assist…i know what your problem is,its against cable… use lackdown patterns w/ assits…every chip damage counts… be patient and be wise on using your assists… one mistake against cable,your history…
Make sure to have one non-unfly stompdown pattern, EX. Magnus02’s pattern (which I usually use), and an unfly pattern.
Unfly ex: sj.lk, sj.hk, fly, hk, unfly, sj.lk, sj.lk, /, sj.lk, fly, then whatever. As most people have said, focus on strategy and not combos with sent. The latter will come when later.
ok. guyz thaks for the help… i’ll try using sentinel more often now so i could get used to using him… and have my patterns…
unblockable into HSF
low beam, fly, frying pan works really well repetitively surprisingly, until your able to get unfly mode.
if you cant get unblockable, guard break
You dumbasses…
He’s asking how do you punish an assist when you catch the main char + the assist in a snap.
You launch the assist, then you can fly, then lk lk dp rp over and over. You have to hold forward, because they’ll move further and further away from you each rep.
fuk u 
yea, fuck you:lol: our sentinel owns your sentinel 
Psh, my tron > your existence.
:rolleyes:
Any of you guys help out and post some patterns for sent with unfly or without unfly?
I usually do a mixup of a high-low game, but you guys have any crossups or whatnot?
thanks lol
zone wit sent… watch your opponents habits and force him to a spot where you can catch him with a fast fly or rocket punch.
