I was hoping for Ultron too.
Sent does have his super armor. Just like Lei-Lei and hulk, theres no flash or shaking when they get hit in this game.
He has multiple sets of drones, in the videos we’ve seen point Sentinel call the low drones and the standard drones. In the magazine article his assist is the low drones so I doubt they’re controllable, however it’s possible he might have two drone assists (high and low) as it appears they’ve scrapped launcher assists which would mean Sentinel is getting a new one.
The Sent lazers normals still do chip damage.

I lol’d
Also this is me in MvC2:
“FUCK Sentinel, goddamnit he’s so broken. Shit, he aint even fun to play as…”
Me pre reveal upon hearing leaks:
“FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF NOOO Not him, anyone but him!! FUCK”
Sentinel revealed:
“FUCK! Ah well, might aswell check out the trailer.”
Trailer watched
“He…he actually looks FUN to play as! WoW…I’m…actually hyped for him now!”
So yeah, bring on Sentinel!
(Plus, he looks fucking amazing in 3d)
Cause they want it.
The salt mines instantly collapsed, sending many into Rage Quitter Limbo… wait… what do you mean the game’s not out yet? Why are we already over capacity? FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Agreed, that video is fucking priceless. You can’t kill that man’s buzz.
i love sentinel.
and people that dont like the thread name probably dont get the reference.
imo you should get rid of the exclamation points.
Um… does Sent have 8-way airdash? I may just not be paying attention, but I only saw him do one pattern of AD in the reveal videos–that slightly up-forward one.
Maybe they’re specials now. In a way they were in the last game too.
Was it just me or did he look slower?
this this this this
Any chance at that title getting changed to something more tasteful?
Movement-wise, his flight is a little slower but his walking is faster. His dash seems faster than before if you check his backdash-cancel in one of the videos. Attack-wise, slightly slower, but mostly just because his moves have more frames of animation now.
sent seemed slow in mvc2 also… at first. the reveal vid didnt show high level play… just wait for it… =]
ROBAWWWWT!
That throw is a command throw with what looks like pretty significant startup. His normal throw variant doesn’t lead to juggles (w/o assist i assume). I dunno what vids some of you guys are watching, but super armor is present. Double jump? check. Double jump air combos weeeeee. Frying Pan ground bounces grounded opponents and possibly jumping opponents…interesting. Maybe d+C is JCable. Did i just see standing overheads?
Robot looking good. hope he’s not TOO good though, don’t want a mvc2.5…wait a second, maybe i do :xeye:
The no shit he’s gonna get nerfed ideal also applies to Sentinel. You guys don’t think, that the developers are going to look at Sentinel and how strong he was in MvC2 and say, “hm - guys, for some reason I think we should make this mother fucker stronger…YEAH.”!
Like most universally well known top-tier characters in a previous iteration of a franchise, the next sequal / update etc. those top tier characters are likely to get their ass sent back of the bus Sagat SSFIV style.
Ultimately, I used a lot of Sent in the past 10 years, I’ll use him in MvC3. But I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s not as good - and I wouldn’t really care all that much if he wasn’t. Lot of other characters to choose from.
Interestingly, I’m more intrigued by Phoenix in those vids. She got her ass whipped royally. Damn at that low health, jesus fuck bacon.
Can you still call assists while in flight mode?
Nerfed yes, but y’all better pass me whatever it is you’re smoking if you suddenly think he’s gonna be ass tier in MvC3. If we take how they seem to be balancing Storm, all Capcom is doing is making it so that the robot wont be too dominant. Heck, probably wont even be God tier this time, but nothing we’ve seen so far says that he wont be viable.
More reasonable? Am I the only one that thinks base Sent (without ATs) is better this time?
