I’m gonna assume you’re new to the whole fighting game thing.
Anyone who thinks Sent didn’t need this is blind. Sent still has all of his offensive options and can kill anyone in 3 hits with XF. It’s just now Sent players have to be smarter and not get hit as much. You can’t just mindlessly rush in and expect your 1.3Mill life to make up for your mistakes.
Yeah, which is why he’s slow as hell. That’s how they usually balance it out.
Now he’s slow, has garbage health, but does big damage. That’s about it.
I was going to write the same exact thing but didn’t because I thought it’d be too mean xD
No problem with Sent players actually having to work for a win, but 500k nerf is crippling no matter what way you look at it. He gets zoned for free by a shitload of characters as it is. Instant overheads are his big problem vs. a competent rushdown and when 1/2 of the characters have tricks like that (on top of his weakness to keep away), you’ll see just how many people are going to drop him overnight when Wolvie/X23/Jill/Ammy/Wesker makes him look free every match. Everyone cries about XF Sent… so save your own XF and body him in one combo like every other character in the game lol
to be fair he’s not really that slow…
Yeah. It’s the same reason why Geif and T.Hawk were so godlike in ST.
I heard his standing C/Crouching C lasers don’t do anymore chip damage.
While I dont have any comment on whether or not this nerf was random, unwarranted, too drastic, or a change for the better, I would like you to explain how this makes the game any less competitive. It’s one character

I agree that the reduction in health is WAY too much. A very drastic balancing decision made only 1 month into the game.

I fucking love it anyway. I finally stopped trying to take this game seriously about a week ago. So stuff like this just makes me smile (even though I use Sentinel from time to time)
XF3+Beserker Rage Wolverine or Feral Jill say he is
Is there any way to make stuff pre-patch? If they are going to nerf something in this game, it should be the “lol damage” aspect of it, no reason why easy hit confirms should deal the amount of damage they do. It just happens that it is more obvious on sentinel than the rest of the cast. At this point taskmaster is going to end up worse since he has easier unblockable setups and his bnb deals over 700,000 points of damage.
People who were still crying over Sentinel a month after release are fucking scrubs. This nerf is ridiculous. Nerf xfc, not 500k health.
You can’t really compare ST to this game at all.
Unless Gief and Hawk had hyper armor, could do chip damage with normals, could fly, could hold their own in a full screen projectile war, etc.
Wow… ninja nerf.
They nerfed my machine ;_:
R.I.P Sent
well damn…that is all i can say.
i really don’t like the precedent that this is setting that if random people complain enough they will nerf shit into the ground, makes me wonder how much time i should be spending on any one character for fear of them being next in the nerf line…
Vader: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
watch taskmaster get destroyed next cuz "hez caambows r to stroaang-uh"
or storm cuz “evary one spamz hail storm”
I support this change. Most of the time if I get beat by Sentinel it is not because I got lamed out, it is because two of my bnb combos would not kill him and I couldn’t make a third happen. Now I won’t have that issue anymore.
