Lol, I think it’s less about stuff being broke than being fine with it. Some can take it, some can’t. Different tolerance to different bullshit. From a business standpoint though, all this broke stuff is bad since it turns people off from the game. It’s likely to be toned down later on.
However, what I disagree with in the article is that all this is somehow fine because there’s going to be a counter-strategy. No, just… no. That’s not a 100% guarantee. Vanilla Blazblue was barely half as broke as the stuff going on right now (in fact, only top 3 were broke), but it was still abandoned competitively a couple months down the line.
The only thing MvC3 has going for it is that it’s fun (note: broke does not always = fun, despite popular SRK sentiment). Whether the bullshit gets in the way of the game being fun is what’s to be seen, not whether there’s a counter-strat.
Yeah, Blazblue’s really is awesome. It’s just got a bad knock because it’s a new franchise and capcom ftg players refuse to touch anything with anime overtones (even though street fighter is anime-esque from the beginning), but this is the mvc3 board. The mods kind of decide when and where they want to ban people for the tiniest little things, it seems.
I personally don’t have much problems with Sentinel at all like I used to. Its the beam spam shit from Iron Man, Magneto, Doom and the ilk that annoys me. Then again, thats what super jump is for.
I know man :sad:. I totally wish he could still stomp on bitches. He’s not fun anymore.
It was kind of a joke, kind of not.
30 broken characters is LESS broken than 3 broken characters. “Broken” is relative.
And he gave even less reasoning than you’ve given, lol.
You haven’t made any argument. You’ve made a list.
His zoning loses to every good zoning character, flight sucks in this game, damage output is irrelevent because he has so much trouble landing hits, His health is MORE than made up for by his huge size, his normals that aren’t spit/armor suck. His assist is good, I’ll give you that.
Here, let me explain this. MvC2 Sentinel is better than MvC3 Sentinel. Magneto and Storm can fight and beat Sentinel in MvC2. Magneto and Storm are now the standard for character design.
Getting hit by Sentinel’s slow ass is not a “slight” mistake. A slight mistake is blocking the wrong way once against a Magneto throwing out a dozen highs and lows in a few seconds. Getting hit by Sentinel, who has no mix-up to speak of, requires you to make a big mistake.
WHY would they benefit the game? You haven’t given any sort of argument about Sentinel. You’ve just listed stuff, with no context, and said “broken”. Here, I can do it too:
Dante–Great assist, great normals, awesome rushdown, impossible to zone out, decent keep-away, easy combos. Nerf Dante.
Wesker–High health, high damage, high mobility, builds bar. Nerf Wesker.
Doom–Godlike assist, great zoning, great close range ability, above average health. Nerf Doom.
Hey sentinel whiners, just stopping in here to let you know another tourney passes and another team featuring no sentinel wins! In fact, no sentinel at all in the grand finals, whoops! Pretty awkward for you guys, right?
In Street Fighter, the only disadvantage you suffer for having low health is having low health. In Marvel, 3v1 is basically checkmate because having no assists is such a handicap. So, it makes sense to have a comeback mechanic. Otherwise, why have the third character at all?
Does it have to be x-factor? Of course not, but x-factor is a mechanic that can be used in many ways, all of them effective, none of them free. That sounds like a pretty good mechanic to me. Of course, there’s always a case for tweaking the numbers, but I don’t feel there’s any compelling body of evidence one way or another on that.
I’m sorry, I can’t understand you. Arf arf.
Anyway, you clearly understood his points, so the grammar is sufficient. Suggesting that he’s wrong because of grammatical errors is the definition of the Ad Hominem Fallacy.
It’s not like ending a sentence with a preposition is that big a deal, anyway. I believe Elements of Style contends that it’s not even really wrong, because it doesn’t obfuscate meaning.
I don’t feel like this is reasonable. Iron Man’s bnb requires maybe slightly more effort, but is drastically easier to land and does slightly more damage.
That he’s obviously not king of the game so maybe the whiners should start planting a date on when they’re going to get over it and realize the tiers aren’t going to be balanced around how well they do on XBL/PSN but rather the tournament scene which so far shows that he isn’t top dog.
They don’t care if someone else can beat them, they can’t thus he’s “cheap”. It’s like Blanka balls and lariat happy Geifs online in SSF4, they can’t beat it easily so it should be “fixed” instead of them learning to beat it.
The actual definition of scrub living and breathing in this thread. sniffsniff Smells like weakness…
There are actually a few subjects at work here (before the thread gets closed):
Lvl3 X Factor’s power boost
Sentinel raping kids
Sentinel raping kids with lvl3 XF power boost
Never mind that Sentinel is [for now] overrated and XF is available to both parties, because every possible point has been made. People are only circle jerking or beating a dead horse now.
Think about it college boy, that is what they send you to college for. To develop critical thinking skills, not to learn how to write like an uptight ass.
You are doing just that. You are just barking away like dog right now. You still have not presented your argument to warrant a nerf. What Wong saying that Sentinel is cheap is now the main point of your argument. Wong is good, but he also said this game is crap back to MvC 2 and SSF4. Stop treating him like he is god.
And so on the first day Wong said MvC3 was gay, and so it was and all was good.
On the second day Wong said he played the game, and so it was good.
On the third day Wong said Senitnel is cheap, and it was good.
On the fourth day Wong said he cant wait to go home and play, and it was good.
On the fifth day Wong told his children how to beat Sentinel, and it wasn’t good.
On the sixth day Wong won a tournament and demolished the evil sentinlel and it was good.
On the seventh the day of rest the children still could not see that it was good, and so it was not.
Are you playing the game? Zero has very easy 750K combo with one meter. Oh my gawd nerf the ass hat. He also has two projectiles, multiple ways in. Oh wait everyone in this game does the same shit only packaged in diffrent colors. Where is your wee boo argument, you have yet to provide one to warrant a nerf. You are just coming off as that asshole that refuses to talk to others because they aren’t at your assumed level. you insult another person becaue of the shitty grammar skills and there lack of argument. Yet where is yours? Im still waiting. You are just listing crap everyone has in the game. That doesn’t count.
At this point its not sentinel nor XFC that is the problem its you.
@Sureno
It proves that Sentinel is over rated, or the people the communtiy tries to worship learned to shit on him.
