The Helpers - Bugs, etc.

[Airlock]

I've noticed some problems with the Helpers:
1) They arent succeptable to hits from the enemy player
2) Sentinel wont hit Ryu standing on the ground
3) you can call them while being hit with a Super Move
4) you can call them while hitting with a Super Move

[ewalk]

1) would there be a point to having them succeptable to oponent hits?
2)Sentinel is an anti-air dude, not suppose to hits ryu if he's standing
3)i find that the most useful, thats prolly why the helpers exist to cancel be used to kinda counter attack the opponents hyper move..
4)makes way for sweet hard hitting combo's :)

I've noticed some problems with the Helpers:

-We all have...
1) They arent succeptable to hits from the enemy player

-...No, really? they dont have health, they attack and go back..simple as that.
2) Sentinel wont hit Ryu standing on the ground

-Your kidding, right? Ryu-Short, Sentinel-Tall. He is for anti air and larger fighters. Use him when the opponent is doing a hurricane kick, knock em the fuck out, or when they do a dragon punch...
3) you can call them while being hit with a Super Move

-Thats the main point of a helpr. To help.
4) you can call them while hitting with a Super Move


-More help, from our helpers.

I hate the sentinel, hes too slow to catch someone in the air jumping and once he lands and starts to do the attack the other person knows not to jump. You have to hit them in the air before or after he comes, and then its still hard to catch them with it because the attack is short. And I find myself being stuck with him alot.

Guile and Blanka seem to be the best.

If someone is ducking the super hurricane kick you can send in blanka and it might hit them causing them to stand up and get hit with the hyper move and you can use guile nicely with the shin kuu hadouken.

Just my two cents, improve sentinel, hes worthless.

[ewalk]

yup i keep repeating myself over and over on this one SENTINEL IS TOO #### SLOW!!!

(necro i never thought of the sending blanka in while doing the hurricane hyper kick thing... good move, hmm.. might come in handy during the tournament!!!) :)

[Airlock]

In MvC, Helpers are not invincible. If you hit an enemy's helper, it cancels that helpers attack. Guile's Sonic Boom should be cancelable with a Fireball. Blanka should be able to be knocked out of the air. Sentinel is Useless. Venom's attack is too short-ranged and slow to be useful.

[Lordcyris]

i agree with airlock
venom is also a bit slow
and only hits 1once it doesnt cancel the hyper moves it just delays it for a sec
now blanka with his 3 hits and guile also hit enuff to cancel the hyper
im guessing the 3 hits is useful against the lag in the game.. so 1 hit is no use against the lag =)

[ewalk]

good point lord... but im kinda braindead... venom's hit doesnt cross the screen? oh right i remeber now... yea he kinda sucks. I think guile + blanka kinda beat out venom and sentinel by a long shot!!! something;s gotta be done to even them out no?

[Lordcyris]

yes they can be evened out

SENTINEL SUCKS
SENTINEL SUCKS
SENTINEL SUCKS

He is to slow
He is to predictable
He has the worst move

SWITCH SENTINEL WITH SPIDER-MAN

and by the way airlock is right
helpers should be able to be hit

SENTINEL IS NOT A HELPER HE IS A DISABILITY

[ewalk]

heheheh i'de agree with you selvin but i promised to stop bitching about sentinel so... SENTINEL RULEZ *cough*

[Selvin]

ATTACK OF THE CLONES WILL BE THE ULTIMATE STAR WARS MOVIE YET!

"cough" nothing to do with this game "cough"

[CptnAmerica]

what the friggin heck ?!!! do you all have colds? is your house being filled w/ toxic gas?! what's with all the coughing?! jk anyway yea sentinel sux but that's not my beef exactly...heres what i mean:how does the helper work exactly, as far as getting one of the four? what i mean is , is it random?does it cycle through according to how many times you play you get a different one?i'm just wondering cuz i get sentinel all the stinkin time! and i've only had guile maybe 3 times...i played 4 games yesterday and every game i played i got sentinel , after that it switched between blanka and sentinel. i'd like to get guile more often as others are getting major combos on me. plus i dont like how you can stop a super with your helper, and i think that yea your helper should get sent away when attacked but at the same time i like how they dont get affected by attacks.so - there you go , that is caps take on the subject , but something has to be done with the helpers,maybe you can add more, but not spider man!! he needs to be a player!!! not a helper! (spidey freak-catch the movie next year in may 2002!!!)CAP OUT!

[Warmor]

YES that movie is going to rock!! But uh anyway...

Spider Man will be a player for sure! The cool thing with Helpers is he can make them anything he wants, and I kind of vote that they stay not getting attacked, since all they do is help. Like in the first MvC, helpers come and can't get hit, but in the 2nd one your helper is also your partner so yes he can get hit, so it's good to not let them get hit, and if they did they would be useless because they would get hit alot.

I think we need to wait and see how sentinal works out, and if he has any tweeking it will probably be his speed. Right now he may be the worse but to me he looks the coolest ;)

[Lordcyris]

yes the sentinal does look pretty kew1
i agree

[Selvin]

"cough"

[CptnAmerica]
