It’ll matter, because you forget they get x factor too. Drones are a nice assist to be sure, but at some point, if the other player is smart you’ll have to face their rush down with sent. If they save their level 3 x factor, people like Chun Li will be nearly impossible for sent to catch and he’ll simply eat it till he dies. Don’t get me wrong if you catch them even once you’ll kill that character for sure, but solid rush down doesn’t hardly give him a chance, especially if the opponent saved their xfactor.
He reminds me a lot of characters like Iron Tager or Raiden. Huge health and damage potential but can get rushed down all day long against a competent player.
Though this could easily change in the future if Sent players figure something out, but as of now, if someone is at least decent with a good rushdown character Sent is almost free. Felecia is my newest annoyance when I play him. It was Wolvie and he is still a bastard but Felicia can do a lot of damn damage and has slightly better mix ups. X-23 can be scary but her damage is too scary unless the person playing her is pretty good.
Sentinel Drones are looking pretty essential to rushdown teams. Sentinel may not be my favorite, but seeing how he is good with a lot of teams, time to jump aboard the Sent-wagon.
No no it does, but certain rush down can be back in your face instantly or simply have moves that continue to move them forward. That is why I was having issues with Wolverine. Felicia also because of her damn cat assist hyper thing. All she has to do is wait till I have to block or get hit by one of her helper cats and she is immediately back in.
Hopefully this guy will be the Spiral of MvC3. Good for a little while until people unlock the potential of other characters. Not that I’m jelly about MvC2 Sent balance, it’s just that I’m tired of seeing him after 10 years. I hope some of the new blood end up in the top 8.
he gets beat by rushdowners, pushblock nerf doesnt send them away full screen. also you cant mash pushblock to negate chip. alot of people can get in on him, you just need to land one hit and he can do the rest
Sent and dante for the fucking win… Im telling you guys people are gonna be crying over sent… Ive had this game a while now and I said in the general discussion thread colonel sent sanders was going to be an issue but did anyone wanna listen… nope… get stomped on… after my friends saw me stomping through there teams with 50sent they all picked him up as well…
This game is going to turn into pick your 2 favourite characters and sentinel if you wanna compete… My predictions havent been wrong thus far
Right, which is all my point was. It’s not like you’re going to be set on death watch from rushdown. One hit from a “skilled” Sentinel and they are dead.
Good. I’m just wondering if Doom or Taskmaster could replace Storm in that team, because I don’t want to give up Dante/Sent, but I want to play other characters as well – just not with them if they don’t really mesh that well. I could actually see Doom being particularly strong on that team, but he just doesn’t have the level 3 X-Factor chip cheese.
That’s pretty much how it is in MvC2 for average players. Nothing new to see here.
Considering how fast Sent’s mobility is with wavedash…they need to either take out his ability to wavedash or nerf his damage. His health is fine considering his size but he’s not that slow thanks to wavedashing so he shouldn’t get the best of both worlds.
He should have to work to get in like other slow characters do.
Hey Smexy I was curious if you had any issues with Rush down as sent or did you find an easy way around this. I have played matches where I can get a hit in and nearly kill their character but rarely am I getting two in. Most of the time when Sent is out unless I have killed their main rusher with one of my other characters they are basically deciding the pace of the match.
My current team is Sent/Morrigan/Phoenix. I win most of my matches too as long as I can avoid having sent in the ring with a few choice characters. Wolverine, X-23, Felecia (especially her), and Zero’s with really good approach assists. But when that does happen, I find that they can dance circle around my Sent and he either dies or takes massive damage in an attempt to get him out. Some times I will blow two Hypers bars just to DHC him out which is a bit counterintuitive with Phoenix on my team. I don’t like to blow that many meters but sometimes have to.
Just got back from playing the guys in EMP. Great gameplay here. Probably the best marvel matches on the web right now. [media=youtube]-3RFnm6bucA[/media]
