Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3

Phoenix is a decent character even without Dark Phoenix/X-Factor. Only thing I find hilarious is how Hulk + Sentinel is the go to team whenever people get beat. And nothing's greater than people picking Zero and/or Doom after they get scuffed up by me, only to get scuffed up even worse.
 
How is picking Phoenix hate mail bait? Quite honestly, its way too easy to snap her in and deal with her.
Some reason people like sending me hatemail whenever I use her and say crap like " cheap ass character" or stuff like that.
I just really hate how she can die from one hulk hyper combo.
 
My team is pretty much set with Hulk, Sent, Dorm. I've beaten a lot of people with hulk and I just use sent to keep people trapped in the corner. Keep away characters vs hulk is so dam annoying but once I get them trapped and hit them with some air combo's I feel satisfied because I pretty much destroy them with just one long combo. I honestly don't see the problem with sent, I haven't played a sent that I haven't that was too difficult to beat with hulk.
 
Sentinal just has to much high reward for what he's capable of. He can zone stupidly well, especially with the right assist. One combo is 70% life with 1 meter...your fucked if your in a corner which isn't hard. Up close he has a command grab into combo and super armor insane range. When he's not on point he can be DHC'd in or TAC'd in to make any small combo into a ridiculous one for very little meter. One of the best assists in game period.

His only real cons is he's slow, but makes up for it with zoning and other tactics and he's got a huge hitbox (which is his only real issue).

Sentinal would be fine if his damage out put wasn't so high. He has too many ways to turn any poke into serious damage and doesn't have limitations like hulk who has poor movement and limited zoning capabilities. If you're right in his face with a fast character you can rape him, but the second you get pushed back it's an unfair gamble. Too much reward for too little work and too little meter cost. I really do want to play Sentinal...but I'm kidding myself if I think the character isn't pulling the weight more than my skills.

flow chart sentinal :
  • Is your opponent far? Spam Lasers!
  • Did he jump? j.S!
  • Did they block? j.S again or c.M!
  • Did it hit? click 5 buttons!
  • Are they dead yet? Hyper!
  • Are they dead yet? X factor into Hyper!
Phoenix isn't broke. There's a lot of tactics that destroy her. Dormammu homing fireball hyper is AMAZING against her, especially if you kill normal phoenix with it. I have done so much funny shit with that hyper it's ridiculous. I've had 3 on screen before chasing my enemy down.
