2 questions:
-1. How does Sentinel feel about Tatsu? Is it a particularly good assist for him or are there much better options?
-2. What are Sentinel’s favorite assists/assist types?

187

Tatsu is arguably his best assist.

Jam Session, Missiles, and Lariat are probably his other preferred assists.

All of them give him space he needs to work.

188

something happened between me and a friend in some sets of marvel where i used jam session to guard break his wesker on incoming using jam session.

here it is:

Interesting. Is the throw not techable after an advancing guard? Seems easily replicated by most of the cast with quite a few assists.

190

you can get a guard break with most–if not all–the cast without assists. sentinel, for example, can do a late j.S on someone blocking(doesn’t matter if the opponent is airborne or not), land, and then dash to negate the pushblock, into a throw. if you do it right, in training against a dummy set to break throws and advance guard, it won’t be able to tech the throw.

the only problem with practicing it this way is, the dummy(unlike a human) will never do a late pushblock.

191

I thought the throw was techable even if you guard break them, it’s just a little difficult.

192

well, i know that the training dummy, with “throw escape” on, will not be able to tech it if done correctly. i also know that when i record the guard break, and then play it back on myself, i’m not able to tech it. however, i do remember reading somewhere that it might be a training room, CPU glitch. so i don’t know…

check out that guard break video by eviltoaster, if you haven’t already.

193

Will do, thanks.

194

Supposedly, it’s techable. I believe RayRay said it’s techable, but yes, the CPU will never tech it if you do it on that 1 or 2 frames post pushblock.

195

Apparently, it is techable, but my guess is that it is fairly difficult to tech properly, unless you know the setup.

196

Gonna run a side team of assist tier characters (Dante/Sent/Strider)

I know it isn’t his favourite assist but it’s still a strong neutral assist behind a character that can protect it well enough, So, anybody have anything interesting with Sent + Vajra?

197

Perhaps you can get 2 Rocket punches at the end of a combo.

I believe that you can do: some combo, call vajra, Rocket Punch :l:, assist hits, Rocket Punch :l:, Plasma Storm.

I think it’s way better for resets since 1 reset will guarantee a dead character.

198

I’ll try and test out what I can get with Vajra assist.

199

Yeah you can get a double Rocket Punch combo which works exactly the same as it would with Spencer’s Horizontal Grapple assist, though it’s only slightly more damage

I figured someone might’ve had something interesting in training, but yeah have a go screwing around with some stuff in training if you can

Also, not just looking at Sent/Vajra for combos but for like general neutral, maybe some lockdown strings, something to keep the opposition grounded or similar. I only came up with the team idea about an hour before I had to go work yesterday so I haven’t had a chance to play with it properly

soo I have been having alot of trouble with Keeping pressure with Sent? Any tips?

Solo or with Assists?

If you got assists, please list them.

As for solo play, if they turtle and stay cornered, then doing some delayed j.:h:, j. :s: does the trick to open them up, otherwise it’s better to bait out a pushblock and then dash up and get a free grab.

Dash up cr.:l: into command grab can work, but you want to buffer a super and/or a dhc in case it fails miserably. If they think that a command grab is coming, then a cr.:m: will open them up for a free combo.

There’s other stuff, but this is what comes up to mind at the moment.

203

So I’m looking to try Sentinel
Just wondering if the combos in the guide are updated?
Also how can Sent apply the unfly glitch? I know that good air pressure from him is j.m fly j.m unfly but would j.m fly unfly glitch with j.m be better?
Finally where can I find some swag with sent?
