But he has space to build up speed.Let me put it this way - if you give me flight and telescopic vision, I'd be able to divebomb people much faster than me at ridiculous speeds. [I'd need some healing or durability to withstand the impact, but you know].
To give you an example, while Wolverine is faster in hand to hand:
Bullrushing with flight nullifies that:
Nope I wouldn't think of it. Just a straight bullrush from where I stand.
I won't be measuring speed or trying to shoot for a specific speed either. Just go as fast I can towards my target. And that's only if I believe I'm not fighting a standard human

But I will be thinking of hitting as hard as I can, from a straight bullrush. Anything other than that will never occur to me, because I would have lost before I could.
I would just use my other powers if bullrush is unsuccessful.
For example, I'll h2h fight and use energy blasts etc. I'm not going to think of another bullrush.
Note: This is OPM and I would get koed or killed after the first fail. So I wouldn't even get a chance to consider that other tactic.

How do you feel about this football player ignoring the starting distance from the ball and going back to build momentum before hitting it?
On a scale of Sentry to me, how creative is he?

Which he won't, unless you are controlling him. This isn't member controlled characters.
Note: flying in a circle doesn't guarantee achieving desired velocity.
Reactions and perceptions plays a role as well (to perceive and alter your motion while at a specify velocity) and able to withstand the centripetal acceleration v^2/r.
Remember that traveling in a circle requires one to continuously change direction on purpose. There is no autopilot here. If Sentry has millisecond perceptions then there is a limit to him controlling the rounded path. Too much speed and not enough perception will result in him being out of the battlefield.

Everything you saying is irrelevant. If I had superspeed and wanted to attack someone quickly then I would go right into them. I wouldn't back up first and then do it. From all Sentry's fights, I don't see him thinking of that, especially when I would never think of that. Being more or less creative doesn't guarantee that one will think of something over someone else. We all think differently.
Sentry would get one shot after the first attack. This argument is really moot.
Originally posted by h1a8You would never think to hit as hard as you can? And if you would think to hit as hard as you can, wouldn't you by deduction try to build up speed to where you can do so?

What level of deduction do you think the footballer has? Below you? Above you?

You're confusing me h1. Are you saying he can't do it or he won't think to do it? You've argued both before, but I'm simply saying that if he can do it he will.

Absolutely not. If I have superspeed and flight then I'm going straight forward. Not backwards.
Going back would be kinda telegraphing. Which is stupid.
Failed initial attacks means Sentry loses. What's to argue about?
