MvC Anti-Spam advice needed.

[chinangel]

okay so I just got my bum kicked in MvC 3. Not a surprise as everyone on there is really good.

EXCEPT, this was by a Sentinel spammer who knelt on the other side of the screen stun-locking me with lasers from his mouth.

When confronted about it, he said that it was something the creator's intended because it wasn't removed from the game, and that I was being a "keyboard warrior". Now...him using the 'it's a legitimate strategy' defense aside, how should I deal with someone like this? Both in terms of communication AND gameplay?

Because I REALLY don't want to lose to someone like that again.

I'm not very good at this game yet, but I know there are certain characters that can get to the other side of the screen while in the air. Dante has a horizontal air dash, X-23 has an air move that covers a lot of ground fast, etc.

As for communication, there's really nothing you can say to someone like that. They don't mind exploiting an obviously cheap and low-skill tactic to get a win, which they only get against players who aren't yet skilled enough to handle Sentinel Spam and the like. Acting angry about it won't make them feel bad. All they care about is the win.

Put bluntly, spamming is a legit tactic. It's just one that sucks the fun out of the game. Beating spammers is pretty much a big glass ceiling for showing how skilled you are. It does show a rather decent degree of skill, to my eyes, when you can beat a good spammer. I had the Sentinel tactic used on me. Me response? X-Factor Cpt America.

My favorite way to deal with this is to spam back with arthur or phoenix

with arthur just keep jumping back and shooting the crossbow

and with phoenix super jump and seeking fire ball over and over and...ect

but other then that what Catface Meowmers said will work with zeros lightning slash thing but will take timeing,

and i'd give up on any "communication" you can't communicate with lower life forms.
