X-Men: Children of the Atom/Sentinel/Introduction

From SuperCombo Wiki

Introduction

Once thought of as far and away the best character of the game, Sentinel is still very strong but far from unbeatable. Sentinel controls space very well and is a threat from almost anywhere on the screen. With float and fly cancels, he also moves through space pretty well. His downsides are being the biggest/tallest target, an OTG penalty (only if you don't roll), and a blockstun trap in flight. There's also a potential blocking vulnerability (either unblockable or crossup) if an attack (upward striking in particular) hits the far back lower quadrant of hit air guard.

Ground Chain: Weak Start
Normal Jump Chain: Kick to Punch (any)
Super Jump Chain: Zig Zag 2

Strengths Weaknesses

  • Tank Gameplan Best Stamina in the game
  • Easiest Punish Combo Target A good controlled rushing character can counter his gameplan easily with a stun combo
  • Lack of Approaching Tools Jumping Down Fierce had more risks than rewards
