People complaining about Sinestro are noobs. Seriously. Week 2 and people are asking for buffs. Fine, play your retard-o beginner character and die against a GOOD Sinestro player. If you think he's a pure zone character, then you're shortsighted. I see a lot of posts talking about how Sinestro has nothing outstanding going for him. Please. What he has are tools that make him versatile at both long and mid-range. He game is weaker than others at close range but grab-throw + A.Sting and footsies will get you get back to mid range which is where a Sinestro player should want to be. Also people are predictable as shit. Learn opposing strings and use block/push. I know, sounds insane.
Sinestro, IMHO, is only for advanced players who actually have to think instead of mashing out 4 button 30%combos. He's not only about about spitting fireballs and meteors from a distance, which many people who are bitching are relying on and thus getting their asses owned - he's about control. What a shocker!
