lol, indeed. They are common, but the one’s I’ve played fail miserably with him so it’s easy picking.
But, yea, like I’ve been telling most people, just gotta deal with it. Find ways to beat it. Even if you have Sent on your squad you still need to know how to handle lvl 3 X Factor Sent the best way you can. I like the optimism though(which is what alot of people need around here), with a slight hint of sarcasm. It’s all good though
Does anybody honestly think they’ll ban sent at tourneys . I doubt it , but since he appears to be the only broken character maybe they’ll make an exception at Evo
While Sentinel does get ruined by rushdown characters, there honestly isn’t any reason NOT to include him on a team. He simply does too much damage for too little risk, and with an X-factor (as mentioned multiple times), can almost effortlessly eliminate an entire team.
reeeaaallly? I haven’t played vs 1 sent yet! I may however, be one of the ones that your talking bout
haha
With sent(or any other character really) does doing mission mode help? Its obvi to all his combos, but does it limit the gameplay with the person?
I think Im on mission 6 or 7… and the timing is waaay different for every move… Like the C.l >C.m is a quick double tap, while other I have to go by frames
(welcome to fighters huh?)
Sentinel is overpowered but he’s not broken. There’s no reason to ban him from tourney play because he has nothing in his arsenal at the moment where you can’t do anything and it puts you in a situation where he’s guaranteed to kill you. Even then I don’t think he would he be bannable unless a lot of people cried about it. Considering the other BS we let in tourney play for other fighters I think MVC3 Sentinel is hardly an issue.
Surprisingly, not many people online using Sentinel at the moment but the ones that do use him are so incredibly scrubby. A lot of spamming c.M or j.S hoping for a lucky hit. You can really tell when you’re out playing another Sentinel player. I had one Sentinel just mash c.M after my block strings so I just did c.M, fly cancel, then I curb stomped him to launch. Dante’s Jam Session Assist with Sentinel is working really well for me. Not only it’s an AAA that controls a lot of space but it multi-hits so free launch or it keeps people locked down into free mix ups in the corner.
As for fly mix ups I started doing something like assist lock down, wave dash, and force people to guess with the following:
-Instant overhead j.A, j.A, j.C, dj backwards, j.C, fly, j.C, unfly, j.C, land, j.C, fly, etc…
-Fly, Unfly, c.M, Fly, j.C, etc…
-c.M, etc…
Obviously, there’s some variations to what you can do based on whether they push block or not.
I come from a SF background, so I don’t know a ton about this game yet. How OP do you guys think Sentinel is right now? Like Street Fighter 4 Sagat? Worse? Not as bad?
Who would you say are his worst matchups at the moment?
Is there a guaranteed way to combo rocket punch after Hard drive?Like a guaranteed combo without an assist.Also, is there a move that is easier to connect after?
