[Newbie] Sentinel Thread - Q & A

Fast fly is cancelling the lag off flight activation, usually by putting the stick to nuetral then into any direction.

You can do certain fly combos without using fast fly, but it tends to make things easier since you don’t have to wait for the lag on the flight activation to end before doing your next attack. Some combos won’t link unless you use fast fly, such as Sent’s (sj.LK, FF, f.LK, etc).

So you have to do fastfly DURING comboes? Is it often or just like once or twice?

Yeah, during the combos :slight_smile:

Prefferably you should fast fly every time you enter fly mode-- during combos or otherwise. I mean, you don’t always HAVE to, but it’s better to get used to doing it since alot of combos require you to fast fly during them.

Usually you will only have to do it once per combo if you’re just doing basic fast fly combos like (launch, sj.LK, FF, f.LK + CapCom, f.HP, rocket punch).

So if I do that fast fly combo, I launch, do sj.lk, go into flight mode and THEN let go of it to go to the neutral state? And is the direction afterwards usually forward?

Yep. At least that’s the way I do it.

I don’t let go of the stick… = /

So can give you something a little more complicated? I wanna see the true potential of fly and unfly and fast fly in comboes.

There are alot of combos in thread started by Carnevil… the only thing i really know is after fastfly do lk, fp, cancel flight follow with lk, fastfly and continue with a short or jab…theres alot more creative stuff i bet but thats about all i know

Can someone do this on Cable on Dreamcast and tell me how much it does? I’m aware of the potential of Fast Fly but this seems to be about as good as the competitive player should be targeting.

Just over 50% I beleive

Hey man, hit me up on AIM (BalloonFight1) and I’ll send you a few vids that show some seriously complicated FF combos.

My Sent Sux N I Need Help Fast!!!

hey guys imma newbie to sent and i need help on strats i alrdy have combos no strats and i can never land my air or HSF combos please help guys thx

SOoooo no ones going to help ok thats koo then…

Check out the previous threads.

This game is all patience. Sentinel is one of the best characters. With firepower and range, he comes at #2. Use range to rape the rapist, mag, and stay away from rush downs. Against cable, nearness is your friend.

getting 5 HSF’s in a row is quite simple.

Rocket punchxxHSF…Hook the joystick qfc (quarter circle foward), meaning counter-clockwise on the left side, and clockwise on the right. then right after, hook it again, this time, press the two kicks instead of the hp. you might wanna try a lp rocket punch after 3 HSF’s

yea i can do the HSF combo no problem but can never land it in a match u know? i checkd previous threads i jus find fly unfly combos and other junk i never find strats my sent’s a statue its not even funny i wanna learn sent i actually need to learn him cuz my rushdown sux ass and i jus got 9th in a tourney yesterday so yea can u give me an example? thx in advance

watch match videos with sentinel and see how the pros do it. make notes, study the matches, and you’re good to go. that’s how japan magically got good all of a random sudden

damn japs…

& go over the old threads… even if they’re not even strategyish… theres likely something in the technical ones that’ll add to your game.

i’ve done that b4 all i get is bullshit and combos most likely combos idk mayb i wont even use him…

then stop whining

if you didnt know already www.zachd.com/mvc2 has good vids, and has links at the bottom to even more sites with vids… watch those like mix4h and copy what they do :tup:
