Speaking of Akuma, what's with the children laughing in the background whenever he does some hyper or wins?

It was in SFIV/SSFIV. Other than that, I haven't the slightest clue.

I don't recall that being in SFIV/SSFIV. But then again, I haven't played either in a long time and I probably didn't pay attention much. Was it during his ultra?

I think so. When I first heard it here, I was immediately reminded of numerous times in SSFIV because I pretty much main Akuma and Ken there.

I lol'ed at this Ranked match. This guy tried to spam Sentinel's assist and I kept hitting him with hard stuff until I killed his lead player and he was forced to come in with Sentinel with half his health. So he tried to use his X Factor but I played keep away with Dante for a bit and then I did a rushdown and Million Dollars -> X Factor cancel -> Million Dollars which killed Sentinel.

Needless to say, I won that match and got all five of my matches with wins.

Jeez, I removed Sentinel from my team and now I'm getting completely destroyed.
I must resist the temptation.

Another comes to realize the truth. There is more to MvC3 than Sentinel. *gasp*

I kid, but at the same time it's so true. Sentinel can be beaten with the proper tactics. He may have sentinel force, but he falls to good zoning. Also, Dante and Deadpool are pretty good against him.

Sentinel's not bad at zoning, really. Especially if you have Dante's "Jam Session" as an assist.

Either way, I did horribly online today. I lost to a bunch of guys who didn't know what the fuck they were doing but hell, I got a good amount of missions in mission mode done today.

Also I want everyone to go into the "Titles" on your card and look for a large chunk of unobtained titles after the ones where you have to win a certain number of times online.

Those "Complete Event # X" ones? Those are probably the story mode... which is most likely going to be DLC. Now... I knew this game wouldn't have much of a story mode when we were going to get it but if it is the story mode then I'm going to be pissed unless it's free, which it probably won't be.

Hmm, what if Sentinel is out spamming beams while Doom-assist spams missiles?
That strategy sounds pretty solid, right?

Ok, I knew Capcom's greedy, but that's just too much.

It's solid if you don't know how to super jump in a timely manner. Not saying this isn't cheap as hell and can certain do some damage, but there are ways around every spam. You like Magneto right? He has an aerial magnetic grab that you could use. And if you zone properly, when Sentinel comes up into the air to meet you, you can pummel him with disruptor. Also, kick his ass when he assists. Even if you get some minor damage tacked on, you can force the player to keep Sentinel out or put him in with low health.

Seriously, the story is probably going to be lackluster anyways but you could at least have the fucking courtesy to add it in the game or at least not leave the fucking titles IN THE GOD DAMNED COLLECTION AS IF THE DAMN THING ALREADY EXISTED!

For fuck's sake, ever since learning that Frank was still on the disc, I have been nothing but constantly pissed with Capcom.

The title of the game actually suggests there's a story mode.

I hope they release Frank West and Doc Ock sometime soon.

Capcom said several times there would be a story mode with cutscenes and everything.

The closest thing to the Fate of the two worlds even really being mentioned is in Galactus' ending.

Jill and Shuma don't come out until March 15th, don't hold your breath.

I know. I never played Dead Rising anyway so I'm not on the Frank West bandwagon. Doc Ock is cool though. Would be hilarious if Alfred Molina voiced him.

You don't have to play Dead Rising to be on the Frank West bandwagon, you just have to see the meme and some of his scenes from Dead Rising to be on the bandwagon... or play TvC.

Really the man is awesome and was in this game from the start.

Capcom can burn in hell if I have to pay for the game's story mode.

But wouldn't the missiles stop you in the air before you reach Sentinel? I think two super jumps are needed and it probably does a lot of chip damage. Sentinel can dash too while you're in the air behind you and you'll have to repeat the whole thing.

Well in this case, I think that the most effective counter-measure would be to use a hyper that reaches Sentinel and Doom and hit them both. I'm pretty sure though that, if I were to use this combination, I'd win almost every match online... and get my mailbox full of hatemails. Of course I'm not going to do this because it's not fun, but I honestly hope that it won't become a popular strategy online anytime soon.

If you want to make Sentinel really hard to stop then do this.

Is the opponent close to you? JAM SESSION!
Are they far from you? SENTINEL FORCE OR HYPER SENTINEL FORCE OR HIGH ATTACK!
Are they far from you or in the air? BUST OUT A HIDDEN MISSILES TOO!

Some guy tried this to me and it worked for a while until I busted out some hypers when the guy summoned Dante.

Yeah, I had thought of creating a team with Sentinel as the first character with Doom's assist and Dante, but then I realised that Phoenix would be better as the last character.

Step 1: Sentinel + Doom ultimate keepaway combo
Step 2: Doom's 600,000 or so meterless combos
Step 3: Bring Sentinel out again until Doom is healed
Step 4: Repeat until Doom and Sentinel are dead
Step 5: Dark Phoenix X-Factor level 3

• It seems everyone now uses Amaterasu, probably because she's Sentinel's worst match-up.
  
  
• ...and now that Sentinel isn't in every team, Tron looks to have "replaced" him for her awesome assist. How disappointing, she's even uglier than Sentinel. Oh well, I expect that sooner or later people will figure out Ammy's weakness and pair it with him.
  
  
• Some people actually used Sentinel with Doom assist!
  
  
• I think Wong only lost a single match... to my former team of Magneto, Wesker and Sentinel. Damn it, I knew that this team had incredible potential. :_:

It's good to see a bunch of characters being used. In MvC2, the only people you'd see were Sentinel, Magneto, Storm, Psylocke and Cable with the occasional Rogue and Cyclops (All Marvel characters, wtf). At least we have Capcom characters up there now and it's more spread out.

I use Amaterasu because I loved Okami. I use Dante because I love DMC. Except for DMC2, obviously. I use Akuma because I've always thought he was awesome. I use Sentinel because if I don't I get stomped.

And I hate playing keepaway. It feels so awkward, and I'm only happy playing agressively, even if I'm losing.

Agreed. Keepaway is a boring strategy, unless there're 10 seconds left and I have the life advantage.

Oh, and I got tired of spamming projectiles, so no more Doom for me and now I'm looking for a new team again. I think that if I were spending as much time practising as I spend trying to compose a team with perfect synergy, I wouldn't suck that much. But the strategic aspect of the game appeals to me more than the actual gameplay. All I know is that I want Wesker as the core of my team.

Yeah, it helps that your Wesker was pretty strong.
