    LOL Is that right, Mr. Ryu Sentinel? I don't know who you were referring to with 'everybody,' but I admit I haven't been taking some matches as seriously as, say, SSF2. That and the majority of people I've fought do nothing but spam and use weak, easily punishable patterns.



    ...Or a Strategy Guide/FAQ.



    That's true. The majority of wakeup attacks are either damn near invincible, or they occur so fast you hardly ever expect it (i.e. You with that ? Kung Lao spin you spammed)



    lol The same ? has happened to me--Muthafuckas have zero skill (You're really trying to dash w/Kabal outside of a combo? :lol), then ? when they get beat. Grow the ? up and get your skils up.

    lol I dont know what Ryu Sentinel is supposed to mean, Sentinel was a mid tier character in MVC3 even before he got his health nerfed now he's only used for his assist and as a lvl3 X factor anchor, Ryu is close to low tier in AE and he was mid tier in SSF4.

    And I use Ryu in EVERY SF even 3rd Strike where theres no point in using Ryu over Ken, Ryu hasnt been top tier in a SF game since SF2 Hyper Fighting



    lol I dont care enough or have enough time to study the game in and out, I just play it for fun, Ive never even used training mode. If you didnt notice I dont know any combos at all


    I dont even understand the reasoning behind some of the attacks being invincible on wake up, like I can see why a teleport would be but moves that aint even punishable on block are invincible.

    lol I was spamming that Kung Lao move because its invincible and if you block it it pushes far away so you cant punish. Its ? why a developer would have something like that in a game.

    LOL It was an ironic joke considering your play style with both characters regardless of their tier standings.

    Yeah, I noticed. And the game is fun and accessible as hell, even if you haven't played a MK game since the '90s, so of course people are gonna play it for fun. Like I said before, I was a little surprised by the online, especially compared to any Capcom fighter, Tekken, etc.--Most people I've fought were doing dumb, obvious ? over and over again.

    ...Me neither, especially considering all the talk about how 'balanced' the characters are (Yeah, right).

    lol Yeah. That spin is almost as broken/cheap as it was in Trilogy. I wouldn't be surprised if he, Kitana, Kano, and a few other characters got nerfed in the future. And I ain't even gonna start on comboing into the X-Ray Moves...

    lol I didnt know there was a cheap way to play Ryu, Im assuming youre talking about zoning. one misplaced fireball and you could lose a chunk of your life/ cost you the game. He has match ups where his fireballs are useless and he has to win strictly with his normals.


    Sentinel is a big punching bag/combo ? in MVC3


    Kabal was nerfed already, they said Kung Lao is def getting nerfed


    It hasnt been out that long so I dont know how good or bad most of the characters are, I didnt think Kabal was all that until I saw Online Tony using him at a tournament


    You literally CANT do anything but block he can lock you down the entire fight

    ...I never said anything about 'playing cheap,' I was going by what you said about getting bodied by everyone.

    ...I still haven't even played as everyone. I was referring to those I've played as. And Kabal's whole purpose in MK games is to get nerfed--I remember how he was damn near unstoppable when MK3 first dropped...
