He doesn’t have one, but it doesn’t look like he really needs one either.
@ Cyrus
regarding the drones, it probably depends on what button you pressed. Theres 3 strengths now, so one may come out low, the other high, and the 3rd drops bombs.
Unfly state was confirmed to be in the game awhile back, however no refly. You can block out of flying too with other characters, so I assume the same goes for sent. He has no universal super armor from what we’ve seen, but he has some on some normals(Frying Pan, launcher so far).
I really hope drones weren’t nerfed as an assist…
Edit: Drones probably have 3 strengths.
“THANK GAWD FOR THE MACHINE!!” for thread title.
wonder how good HSF as a chip super is in this game.
Just comparing what we’ve seen of sent so far to the rest of the cast, I’m curious, is there anything that prevents him from being top-tier? So far, I haven’t really seen anything that would be consider a big enough nerf to make him worse then the rest of the cast. From what I see, seems like he didn’t get nerfed in the transistion- if he did, it was a minor one, and he gained a few tools like his double jump, multiple attacks in the air, faster walk+laser, etc.
I haven’t seen enough Maggs play yet, but Storm and Sent are already looking to be back up at the top of the cast. Dunno if that’s good or bad, but expect to be fighting the flying 'Bot alot come release.
i wish he had some of his cota moves back but so far i havent seen any.
the buzzsaw, spinning splash and most importantly arm missiles.
ah well, at least the frying pan is still there.
not gonna lie, sentinel IS overpowered in mvc2 but hes still one of the funnest most complex character ever created in any fighting game.
he has very noticable weaknesses, but his strengths completely overshadows his weakness.
hes the biggest target (half the cast has an infinite on him) and slow ground normals (gets locked down really easily).
capcom thought he would be horrible so they compensate him with extra health, power and super armor which turned him into the monster he was in mvc2.
i wonder how hes going to be balanced in mvc3. with his type of character design, he’ll definitely have a bad match or two compared to some other characters like storm.
This is so HYPE YO MANGO SENTINEL ANYONE.
It kind of looked you can just crouching laser into HSF and repeat as many meters you have for chip, blocked crouching laser>HSF seems jumpable out of.
Also awesome unfly combos, now he as a bigger hitbox on his air super, OTG Rocket Punch, double hitting launcher, hitconfirms into launcher. Sent looking pretty good.
this please!
@ Humbler and Ouroboros
Guys, don’t worry about balance. If you’ve noticed from all the vids everywhere, everyone is pretty evenly matched. Wesker, for example, would RAPE Sent due to his ability to both Teleport at him from full screen AND counter his normals and specials pretty much on reaction.
Yes, he got nerfed in the transition, that is a fact. No universal super armor, loss of refly, no chip on normals, HSF loop remains to be seen, flying speed is slower, backdash is slower, rocket punch into HSF outside of corner remains to be seen(might be possible in corner since Rocket Punch OTGs), HSF’s speed looks slower, his normals look slightly slower too, and we don’t know if his lasers can combo into rocket punch too. Whether he will be top again or not remains to be seen though.
Edit: He still looks to be very strong though from the vids. Hope he still ends up very strong.
Super armor in this clip: [media=youtube]RqFid6xqGyE[/media] at 0:41s During Vipers’ Jump-in
Need to see if he can refly, this is crucial for stomp pressure.
For the Fast Flies, it looks more like a simple fight cancel, probably don’t have to cancel flight start up with a movement anymore.(will still be called fast flies to me though lol) First thing I’m going to do is figure out if I can call Dante Corridor during it lol.
YouTube - MvC3 Sentinel & Hsien-Ko gameplay 1
Some uploaders apparently forgot to put up this gameplay vid also.
Also, after watching a lot of the gameplay videos and the reveal trailer, it looks like Sentinel only has armor on his launcher.
I imagine Zero is gonna have infinites on this man for days.
He is still a beast though and a welcome addition to my team as a sub for Wesker when I feel like doing new school Santhrax. Sent/Storm and sub in Dante for CapCom
looks like another ten years of mind fuckage by the original blue bomber…SENTINEL!!! Lol.
Refly is out(confirmed by Jwong on a stream), but you should be able to call out Jam Session though during fast fly since you can call assists during flight mode in this game too…
Ohh god, the delicious tears of butthurt youtube fanboys. I’ve got goosebumps.
is it just me or does it looks a lot like they reverted sentinel back to his CotA Form, with sprikles of MvC2 sent throw in
I know that he got nerfed in several ways. But, as far as I can see, he looks like he’s still much better then a large portion of the cast. Sure, he’s got weaknesses, but it doesn’t seem to effect his capabilities, the heart of Sent play seems untouched and as rape as before. I’m curious if people think he’s actually going to be anything except hovering above, anally penetrating you for another 10 years. Really, list off the characters who you think are better then Sent in MvC3 so far (in your opinion), not in a match against him, but better on the whole.
