      @@coreypatterson5827Not just glitches, but pure oversight and disparity.
      Some characters were nerfed purposely, like Strider and Wolverine, although Strider got re-purposed into a viable choice by people like Clockwork by making him a tandem with Doom.
      Others got nerfed simply because they were just dropped into the engine with no work done to make them compatible with the engine ie Chun Li. These types of characters have moves that just don't work as well as they did previously, such as Chun's legs super not being able to combo without an assist due to the start-up being longer or the screen freeze being shorter. We know they really didn't care about the ramifications of dumping sprites into the game without proper tooling because of how much time they spent on the new characters, specifically Cable, and his 1 frame AHVB.
      They even took out her air super, meaning they ACTUALLY HAD TO LOOK AT HER FILES, but just didn't want to do any real work. Same case with most of the non Marvel cast and Sabertooth.

      @@RandoBox The way I understand it is that if your opponent blocks only the very last frame or two of the mouth beam, it's unblockable. So basically you can set up situations where you knock the opponent down and throw out a mouth beam while they're in recovery frames so they only get hit by the last couple frames of the move. Not easy, but the best players know how to do it pretty reliably.

    We used to play like this to add depth so it wasn't always an MSS mirror match:
    2 bans each. No one picks those characters. P1 bans once. P2 bans twice. Then P1 does second ban.
    No dupes in character select, so once a character is picked they can't be on the other team (or same team if you were on Dreamcast).
    P1 picks 1
    P2 picks 1 and 2
    P1 picks 2 and 3
    P2 picks 3
    You got some really varied teams that way and needed a deep roster. The last person to win was P1, not always the P1 slot.
    You could skip the ban phase if you wanted top tiers, since it was pretty much always MSSC that got banned in my town.

    You also forgot about Sentinel's Unblockable. The ducking hp if you can make the thick outer portion miss but the inner portion hit, the inner portion will not be unblock able. There's a way to defeat it with some characters, like blocking 1 frame before the beam touches you. This allows you to conserve your guaranteed guard frames allowing you to block it, but some characters [Psylocke for example] can't use this defense at all. This can be done when a character falls in from the side of the screen, after falling from a super-jump, and after a hard knockdown in a combo allowing you to reset the damage possibly killing the character.

      it's one of those games that has a bunch of layers you have to learn in succession to get to the level of "passable". and all the layers aren't spelled out explicitly somewhere. dreamcancel has a good guide on the basics but you have to learn the layers of exploits that were not intended by the devs that exist beyond that and those layers go from somewhat obscure to "only justin wong knows". if you want to be good. sounds like it's not worth the trouble but it's not as hard to learn when you just start doing it and when you start actually being able to do terrible versions of the stuff good players can do it becomes really addicting. it also helps you to be good at a bunch of other fighting games. if youre good at mvc2 your good at fighing games in general.

    If there was a modern re-release of MvC2, and unintended glitches like this were fixed, would that be considered a good thing or a bad thing? Personally, I'd want awkward glitches to be fixed, but I can imagine that there would be at least some people who consider glitches that are consistent to be a good thing that shouldn't be fixed.

    Even with all of Sentinel's BS, I always found him a lot more fair than Cable, Magneto or Storm.
    At least Sentinel can't infinite you into another infinite while building meter or AHVB 5 times in a row with a brainlessly easy motion. Also Sentinel is very easy to infinite himself. Just saying.

    All you have to do to get unfly is get hit during a normal jump (or after cancelling flight).
    Also I think the unblockable c.hp on the incoming character is OD but maybe that's just me

  • @skychaos87
    @skychaos87 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Did you not mentioned unblockable and DHC of death? These are relatively easier things to do than all the fly options and are actually more deadly. Also, the super armor makes it harder for rush down characters to successfully connect. Its also easy to do guard breaks using fast fly. And the biggest strength with sentinel is the fly speed where when just flying up and backwards, 90% of the cast cannot catch sentinel. With long range and highest damage normals in the game, sentinel can play air footsie with assist support, making him extremely dangerous in the air than on the ground.

    doesn't he have and unblockable normal attack in this game (i think it was the second hit of one of his crouch attacks), this attack is what causes most of the cast to be worthless from what I remember.

  • @seilaoquemvc2
    @seilaoquemvc2 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    none of those glitches are exclusive to Sentinel, though.
    Iron Man also abuses those with crazy efficiency.... with unfly mode activated, Iron Man is BY FAR the most menacing (not the best...) character in this game (even if he's not really the best one opening people up), basically, he's the only one that can kill anyone from any hit anywhere because of those very same glitches you pointed with Sentinel.
    also, I really thought you'd speak about Sentinel's unblockable... that thing is very important as well.

  • @fastest1321
    @fastest1321 ปีที่แล้ว

    You missed a ton of points on why he’s the best character in the game.
    He’s faster than more than half the cast in flight which means most characters cannot catch him if he holds backward in flight mode. His normals not only chip but have incredible range and angles that are insanely difficult to deal with. Rocket punch (rp) being one of the highest damaging moves in the game; other characters have to work for 50% combos while Sentinel super into air combo rp is easy to hit AND other characters combos might be hard to hit on specific characters like Roll, sent’s work on everybody. He has the highest health, has super armour. His beam is unblockable if timed correctly. DHC into HSF super resets the damage scaling. All 3 of his assist are viable. Sentinel is great on point, he’s great 2nd to DHC into hsf for the damage scaling reset and he works 3rd as an assist. He’s literally always good in every position

    For those of you weren't around when MvC2, 3rd Strike and CVS2 were popular, these games to us boomers is kinda like Melee to the Smash community. Sure it's old af, but it's also some of the most difficult fighting games to play at a high level. Keeping your skills on point requires sooo much practice and even then there's still so much left to be explored... even 20 years after release! Check out Bretth123's channel if you want to see Gods south of the boarder make Low/Mid tier's look like demigod. I'm still amazed how some people make "shit" characters look so good and create really hype team chemistry

  • @LostChildOfTime
    @LostChildOfTime 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Never mind the fact that sentinel has armor and he can be hard to launch when he tags in because he’s freaking airborne when he lands. Like his original vanilla MvC3 iteration, he has a ton of health. He just does a ton of damage with his normals. Sentinel is the most overturned character in the game… and maybe Capcom did that because Marvel wasn’t a fan of the design from in COTA… nothing bothers me more about Sentinel than the fact that he does chip damage with normals (and those normals have like almost NO hurtbox). Sentinel is probably the only character in Capcom fighting games history that does that. Like why lol.

    • @thefrankiepalmeri
      @thefrankiepalmeri 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Son Son is actually more broken than Sentinel. There are so many little things about the game that even though Sentinel is a incredibly strong character, what the rest of the cast is capable of does inevitably balance things out. He's vulnerable in flight mode, his launch is like 4 frames, his supers are punishable, easy to lock down in frame traps because of his size, he's an infinite crash dummy...ETC.

    Isn't commando better with sent as an AA, they get hit with captain corrodior and you get to hit them with a rocket punch and follow with some more pressure string while dishing out more chipping damage. Haven't played the game in a decade but back then the mall we used to go to had that arcade and many players that's competitive will swing by as well. Unless your opponent is locked in with doom assist, and youre using cyclops to break through doom's rocks.

  • @dbycrash
    @dbycrash 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Sentinel and Storm should be somewhere above god tier even though they get lumped in with the “big 5”. Magneto based teams actually require technical ability and forcing the hit where Sentinel especially can sit back and spam commando or cyke any time you try and get close to make a giant wall of “fuck you”
