"Anticipation + Mega taunt stops sherries being able to deny"

It depends on what Anticipation monster Sherry is going up against and what monsters Sherry has with him. Say he goes up against mega taunt + rag and Sherry has an eisul with him, then Sherry can remove mega taunt and still be safe from rag. The only anticipation that can pair with mega taunt that can actually stop Sherry when he has Eisul with him is Hornet I believe.

"Hayman ghost carnival destroys mega taunt - it applies 3 tortures to it, removes mega taint, and then AoE corrupts. Sherezar has no good way of dealing with all dodge area monsters, and struggles against anticipation + mega taunt. Pumpseed is used way more than sherezar by the top 100 players, and, owning both of them, I definitely like pumpseed more"

Also, Sherry may be the worse denier, but Sherry is an amazing mix of support and denier while Pumpseed is just denier. Pumpseed has 0 NER. So, he is completely stuck when negative effects are put on his team. On top of this, Pumpseed has really high cooldowns and stamina costs. Seeing as there are monsters as fast as him that can CDA, this is pretty bad for him then. Also, just look at how high his stamina costs are. Sherezar doesn't really need to deal with Area Dodge monsters because after he CDA the other 2 monsters, then the Area Dodge monster is the only monster that can attack. its basically a 3v1 at that point. As for Mega Taunt + anticipation causing Sherry to struggle, it really doesn't. See my explanation at the start of the comment for why. I also own both Sherezar and Pumpseed, both at lvl 120, and to me Sherezar is better.
