Most delayed double post I have ever seen
“WHAAAH WHAAAAH MY SENT WIL NOT WORK ON MAHVEL AND I CANT PLAY THS GAME ANYMOAR ALL BECUZ HE GOT NERF WHAAAH WHAAH…”
Seriously… All you Sentinel fanboys stop with the complain… He got screw, he was overpowered, he needed the nerf… The other characters are better if you learn to play with them…
Actually I think a lot of the people who are bitching about this nerf don’t even use Sentinel (myself included). The problem with this nerf is that all of these cries of nerf came from the little whiney bitchy scrubs. Tourney players acknowledged he was very strong and poked fun at some of his tools… but never called for such insane nerf on a immature meta game as someone stated. The only reason Capcom did this was to please most of the cry babies on Capcom-Unity and gamefaqs (who are sadly slowly migrating here).
This doesn’t help competition it dilutes it. It would be one thing if this game had been out for a year or two and serious discussion about a severe nerf were taken place. In this case, however, it is a result of countless Black Ops players trying to jump into the fighting game genre and can’t handle the fact that naturally some shit will just be better than others. They don’t want to put in the time and effort to actually learn a game because everything is gift wrapped to them in these easy mode FPS games online these days.
I don’t play Sentinel and this patch disgusts me as well. If anything, it has lit a small desire to actually play him now.
400 health isn’t actually that much of a difference, it just means he actually dies to level 3 combos and has to actually block (do you know what blocking is?). You retards bitching make it sound like they took away his moves and have him 100 health or something.
Yeah… this.
Naw, it’s just really funny to see, especially considering that the only reason Sent had a chance against my team is because he could tank enough damage to hopefully land a clean hit somewhere down the road. Now he’s free as shit. Seriously, joke character.
mvc2 says hello.
And yes this is an overreaction. Maybe they could have dropped him to 1.1 mil, but average health for the giant robot? Really?
400 health isn’t anything? What the hell? This can’t be a serious post. Chopping practically 1/3 of a characters HP isn’t a big difference? Probably getting trolled but this nonsense has to be addressed.
If things aren’t corrected, people will quit. I play this game cause I love it, but its 2011, people want balance in their games. The fact he was so powerful and overbearing, something had to be done. I personally would rather see his damage go down vs his health, but that’s just me. In order to have a community, it can’t just consist of tourney vets/top players. New people contribute to the pot, remember that
Casual players will drop this game regardless when the next big online Multiplayer game comes out. Unless you take a fighting game somewhat competitively it only has so much replay value for you. A few characters here and there along with a few patches will hardly warrant a much longer lifespan for most of these people crying over Sentinel right now. This game will be collecting dust once the new big shooter or whatever drops in a matter of months.
Capcom has to please new players as well as veterans. I llove and miss mvc2 as much as the next guy, but a mass of new people also contribute to the pot oof tourneys, so they matter as much as I do. Its impossible to make everybody happy and capcom wanted to be sure people didn’t quit in mass quantities over cheap sentinel wins. Like it or not, diversity is great and let’s be real, level 3 xfactor sent is still a monster.
-Its funny because in actual gaming you dont have to wait 2 YEARS for patching a game, theres some rare exceptions, very rare ones. It’s a thing of “you fix it now, or you deal with it”, like MvC2, they got the oportunity to fix the game in the PS2 release and they didnt make it, what happened?.. We got bored with the same bulls**t fight of Magneto, Sentinel, Storm, Cyclops, Strider, Psylocke and some times Doom and Commando for 10 years.
-Yeah it’s real, casual gamers whine, but I know a lot of people that actually play the game in competitions (idk if it’s written fine xd) hated sentinel so much and wanted that nerf.
-And please dont come with the pathetic argument of “Sentinel didnt won any tournament yet…”, it’s not coincidence that 10 sentinels got to TOP 16. And +20 got in TOP 32.
Look at the FR XIV results.

When 10 out of the top 16 Final Round players have a sentinel on their team and “anti sentinel technology” is a term, it narrows competition… This nerf will actually improve competition because instead of everyone having a sent on their team for a easy win, they will actually learn to play all three of their characters (character diversity). also teams that are designed for “anti sentinel” will have the freedom to play other characters
Keep in mind that Sent still has all the tools that made him broken in the first place, just 350,000 less health, that’s about one combo… Not the end of the world, he’s a freakin robot, not a god!
Who cares what level 3 Sent is/isn’t. This nerf is totally unwarranted. Sure the scrubs might be happy now that Sent is nerfed. Like I said though, these players aren’t going to be playing MvC3 for years. Something else will catch their eye along the way and as Jay-Z would say “On to the next one”. This isn’t a tweak where it is 100-200 K damage where that would still be shitty but a lot more reasonable. Chopping 1/3 of a characters life to please the players who will be playing this game for a few months at the expense of people who will be playing it for years is stupid… might be business but it is still stupid.
I think sent nerf makes sense in a developer’s perspective. He was a keep away fighter with more hp and dmg than hulk who isn’t a keep away fighter.
Before the pros have been saying learn sent. If people give out this advice its a failure on the development side. I am not saying he is unbeatable just stronger than the rest of the cast.
sent a keep away character? heh, god i love it when sents try to zone me, talk about free wins.
Character diversity does not automatically make for improved competition. People have way too much emotional attachment to characters these days and wants everyone to have a fighting chance. Competition is about winning and not about how many characters can make top 8/16/whatever. When a oddball character makes a top 8 in a game where a few characters ususally dominate that shit makes it even more hype. Nerfing the Lakers, Heat, Celtics, Thunder and taking some of the good players and putting them on the lower market teams who aren’t as good wouldn’t make shit better in the NBA. The playoffs are exciting because usually one or two of the underdog teams make it in and when they win it makes it even better.
I remember when Golden State as a 8 seed beat Dallas a 1 seed a few years ago… that was one of the sickest series ever and it was because Dallas had always been solid/one of the better teams over the years that people had grown accustomed to see winning all the time and this lower market team took them out.
Probably going to get some response about how this is a fighting game and not the NBA but same theory applies.
here’s my 2 cent:
What this patch does is base on Capcom trying to please the people that either
a) bitch about Sentinel having too OP (I kinda agree with that with power and health side as top tier at once)
b) ppl that only play against Sentinel online and loses, then bitch about shit.
Now I am a Sentinel user, and even I admit a bit of a nerf will be good for Sent (health or power, doesn’t matter), but chopping 1/3 of a character’s life is just a bit too much. I rather have capcom chop his life to about 1.1 Million, and chop his power down maybe 15 to 20% (its a rough estimate).
Now, I can see 2 thing happen, either A) ppl adjust to it and keep using him (come on, his lvl 3 X is still something u dont’ wanna face at any time, and he still have one fo the best assist in game), or B) ppl will ditch him for some other character that is abusable…(hello, Hulk and Ammy…
) For us old timers (I play MvC2 since 03) we probably will adjust fine (hell, I need Sent on my Haggar team), but for the n00bs, they will ditch him probably because they will say something along the line of “Sent sux, he have no life”. But we will see.
What I really want to see through is nerf Wesker’s chip damage on gun, just remove the fucking chip damage on the gun, or at least lower it a little. Its kinda dumb to play online when the other guy just turtle with Wesker gun all day (I can deal with it, its just annoying as hell)
Who got bored? If anything MvC2 was the most exciting shit to watch over this 10 year span despite the character diversity being so low.
The rest of your argument literally doesn’t have anything else to do with what I have been saying so I am not going to even address it.
Disclaimer: I don’t play Sentinel
This kind of nerf actually makes precious little sense regardless of perspective as simply changing a characters durability doesn’t change what was fundamentally problematic about the character (and if it does then something is seriously wrong). You change damage, damage scaling, move properties, etc. You look to change the durability of a character after everything else has been examined. Personally I don’t care one way or another that Sentinel was nerfed but the way in which it was done makes me very concerned as a) taking 1/3 of a characters health off the top as a nerf is taking a sledgehammer to a situation that requires a scalpel AND b) it’s extraordinarily reactionary as the game has only been out a month and hasn’t had time to develop yet.
