Sent is still the same on point against people who don’t know how to block.
And if they nerf sentinel, phoenix and x factor at the same time will you complain?
Maybe if the game had been played for 6 months and we found shit was actually OP. As it is its too early for this kind of change. Its stupid
Seems like that’s the way to get the things that you want around here, I guess. I rather they nerf tron assist. Capcom nerf tron assist please.
10 years ago there wasn’t nearly the amount of people playing fgs that there are now. Online changed everything, so capcom on some level has to cater to online players. Real tournament vets should just adjust, plenty of chars to use and nothing wrong with fixing an overpowered char
The problem is that he isn’t overpowered except at the lowest levels of play, and that hasn’t changed at all because he still does the same damage and bad players don’t block.
The scrubs who picked up Sent merely to easy mode dominate will continue to bitch and moan about the changes and drop him while the people that were good with Sent will continue to choose him and dominate while accepting the changes. Nothing to see here folks, evolve to bitching about Dark Phoenix now.

pathetic, sentinel isnt even great on point lol
Im sure a big reason Sent was nerfed, besides being blatently overpowered, is because he is the most used character in the game and capcom wants to see more character diversity online and in tourneys… It looks bad when 90% of the people all use the same character out of a 38 character cast… besides he is a robot, not a god like Thor, no adamantum or healing factor like wolvie, not a demon like akuma, not indestructible like hulk. he should have never had top health to begin with
Dante is far more used than sentinel online.
Character diversity has jack shit to do with competitive play. Do/Use what you can to win. This isn’t a “lets try and give every character a fighting chance! yay!” contest. Some of the most competitive games out there only a smaller portion of the cast is used.
Much as I hate to admit it, because I hate seeing Sentinel. This change was too early, nerfing one character when it’s plain to see you’ve got bigger problems elsewhere is dumb as hell. This is the kinda thing that makes me think loketesting awesome.
For you all is competition, that changed… Adapt…
You forget that MvC3 isn’t just for competitive play. A very large part of the intended audience wants that “lets try and give every character a fighting chance! yay!” contest.
I fail to find the problem with balance… let’s make the better player win, not the better character
Sure. I have said I understand it from a business perspective but THIS FORUM is for the people who are competitive or want to learn to be competitive. So thats why we talk about how it is bullshit here because it is.
There is no problem with balance, anyone that says otherwise doesn’t know what they’re talking about. The problem is failure to balance properly, like having Rachel become horrible after being OP in Blazblue CS1. Overcompensating just leads to more imbalance.
I’m not sure what logic there was behind this sudden nerf outside of a knee-jerk reaction to people complaining on Capcom Unity. I know Capcom wants to appeal to the casual market, but this is not the way to do it. Where were the nerfs to fireball zoning in SFIV within the first month because the lowest level of players cannot get around it? X-Factor is their game mechanic that appeals to low end players, and I suspect it will never, ever be nerfed unless damage becomes so outrageous that even level 1 X-Factor is a threat to an entire team.
My main issue with the nerf is that the game is only a month old. It’s not even crawling yet. It’s practically a newborn baby at this rate, given how much MvC2 evolved over the years. The game has not even come close to being done evolving and we’re already seeing nerfs simply because low end players have a tough time with Sentinel. Yes, Sentinel is very good, but a nerf this early into the metagame is NOT how you balance games.
This isn’t a balance patch. It’s a PR patch.
Wait, isn’t this the dude who was saying that Anti-Sent tech was worthless, he still dominated everyone, he was the best in the game, blah blah blah bitch bitch bitch, and then you are fucking white knight about this shit?
Shut up.
