what?

I asked you what you meant. Why did you say my post was 'bad'?

Sinestro is a top 10 character

He seems to not fit your style and u seriously said u can't MB projectiles in combos which is wrong and u r bitching like scrub about not being able to time shackles and wish it was a link

If u can't time a simple shackle then u have far greater issues that have NOTHING to do w needing to buff sinestro cause it is u that needs a buff

Tell me more. I have watched some streams of you and I learned a lot from you. Which characters are a pain in Sinestro's ass in your opinion?
Click to expand...
IMO so far his only known bad MU again in my opinion is

Aqua man
Possibly black Adam
Possibly shazaam
Possibly batman

Other than that I feel every MU so far is 5-5 or better

a top 10 character...yet it's too early to criticise other characters. Sorry, you can't have it both ways.

I didn't say you can't MB projectiles in combos.

I said you can't MB rock from combo. There is a difference.

I didn't say anything about shackles.

You people need to ease off the sugar.

Sinestro isn't the problem , the way u r using him

Ur post shows evidence of lacking quality fundamentals and understanding

When I make my guide hopefully it'll help u and ill include MU game play to help u

You don't know the way i'm using sinestro since you've never seen me play.

You assume that, which makes your point untenable and ludicrous.

By all means put out a guide.

But don't behave like an asshole.

Hey Pig, I've come to respect you more than most gamers so I wanted to ask you something. I know Sinestro was changed for the worst in a few ways from pre-release, and I don't think he's as bad as a lot of people say, but do you really think he's top 10?? I love using him, but I'd guess he was middle of the pack, around 12th-18th in comparison to the cast but I know I could be wrong as its still too early. So I wanted to ask what do you think it is that makes him better than that many cast members, and how do you find his difficulty to use on your level of play?

Also you said he has possibly 3 or 4 bad matchups at most but the rest may be 5-5 or better. With the 4 you included which I agree with, what would make you say a MU against Raven, Frost, or Doomsday wouldn't be bad MU's. I'd say at a moderately skilled level and up Sinestro has an uphill battle against them.

Coming from Nightwing wanting a zoning alt. I think I might even make Sinestro my main.. I don't know what it is about him but his combos are just fun. AND it's freakin Sinestro.

I'd kind of dig a green lantern Sinestro costume.

First Green Lantern Sinestro is a must! I prefer Sinestro Corps in principle but my favorite colour is green.

Also I think a lot of what makes his strings so nice is that many are more akin to special abilities (especially B2,1,3 and F2,D1,3) rather then just being different kinds of kicks and punches.

That's exactly how I feel. His combos just feel awesome and look pretty. Lol

Made an account just to say that I love this character to death. Hopefully NRS doesn't go nuts with patches, I want to really take some time to get the hang of him.

Some of his timing mid combos throws me off, especially b3 stuff, but it'll work.

Hey guys; just wanted to introduce myself. I've been lurking on here since the game came out and figured I should get on here and try to share whatever I do find considering how much I have taken from you guys already in terms of combos and ideas.

So after picking up the game a few days ago I'm definitely loving this character, he certainly feels very strong. Capitalizing off of projectiles into full combos from full screens feels incredibly cool. I don't know enough about the game to talk about match-ups or tiers, but hopefully I'll get there.

Whats up everyone, this is my first time playing an "MK" style game and Im really eenjoying my experience with it. I have beeen maining sinestro since day 1 and I feel despite his shortcomings he is a solid character that can give the cast a ton of trouble when played right. The only exception ive seen is aqua man, that guy just plain and simple controls the screen better and does more damage. its not unwinnable but its tougher than a 2 dollar steak. Anyway im glad to see there are plenty of other sinestro players out there. If anyone wants to get games in sometime im on PSN and my tag is cra317.

I decided to alt this guy with Lobo so I can have a zoning alt, and my love for Nu-13 in Blazblue kinda forced me to play this character (DAT BACK 213 <3). Some really quick questions, sorry if this was covered in past pages and I'm lazy n stuff but:

Is Stand 3 a decent anti-air? If not, Back 2? Both seem to give me combo options as anti-airs, both sending the opponent full screen, which is juicy n stuff. Would be a shame if it's irrelevant.

I know about the Shackles >> Down 1 reset into Back 2, props to whoever thought of that. But, is that the only option in the reset? Like, is there something besides Back 2 that I can use to mix them up with, besides a sweep or obvious Forward 2 Down 1 xx Shackles? Again, sorry for my laziness >_> Any help is appreciated.

D2 is his best AA. Follow it up with B1-shackles on hit

standing 3 is more of a poke than anything, and can be useful in some unusual situations since it makes you airborn

off of the D1 reset you can also go for an instant air Fear Ax or 1B23 for plus frames and another mix-up
