Shut up! - The Sentinel Thread

Well Sentinel users, now’s your chance to prove everyone wrong. Prove that people lost because they sucked not because you use Sentinel. He still has good moves, you just can’t press buttons with reckless abandon anymore or you could lose him in a combo now.

Don’t dump him from your team, as he is a character you enjoy using patch or no… right?

wolvie is gonna own him for free now. it was 5-5 before the nerf, 6-4 wolvie according to some people.

unless wolvie is gonna get nerfed, this is going to be completely uphill.

-wolverine now have more health than sentinel
-hes like 5x faster
-hes a small target
-he dishes out almost as much damage as you.

Sent is done, and so is MVC3. No way I’m playing (I wasn’t playing it anyway, X factor, lol) a game that can just kill characters on a whim, and neither should anyone else. This is seriously boggling me right now. How is anyone supposed to take MVC3 seriously now? I mean, it was clear people were willing to put up with X factor bullshit, DLC characters, but now this?

Lol, which character will Capcom decide they don’t like next?

This is some goofy shit seriously.

Couldn’t have said it any better. Ammy and Zero have super low health and people are still effective with them with even less options that Sent. Prove us wrong Sent players and show us that you can actually use Sent.

lol at all the ppl whinning because their giant robot received a health nerf. so what? he still a beast, get over it.

I know this sucks for you guys as sentinel players, but lets face facts. Something was needed.

I know he has counters, but he is too good. I don’t know if health was the main problem, but its one less bulletpoint to cry about. The main thing is his damage. That’s obviously not the aspect they wanted to take away from him though so they hit something that’s less apparent, his health. He’s still gonna be big poppa pump killing people with half a basic combo with X-factor on so don’t get too worked up over it.

If nothing else, I’m happy at the overreaction this will cause so that we, as a community, will see less Sentinel, the most boring and overused character in the game.

You are completely insane if you think Amaterasu and Zero have less options than Sent.

hopefully, if i complain enough, haggar wont be invincible during lariat or dr doom wont have hidden missiles as an assist…put hard kick as his b assist. plz capcom? kthnxbye

Ammy and Zero aren’t as susceptible to rushdown as the robot is. Ammy and Zero have a ton of tools at their disposal. Ammy vs. Sent was CLEARLY in her favor before the path. Taking away that much health is borderline retarded. 1.1 million would have been acceptable.

thats because ammy and zero have super fast normals. and ammy have less options that sent? are we even playing the same game?

I don’t like playing against Zero, anyone else wanna complain loud enough with me and see if we can get him nerfed?

It would have been better to leave his health and reduce his damage.

Sentinel is “S” tier alright…That is if “S” stands for shit.

What’s less options? Everyone in this game has options to win. Ammy/Zero have stupid easy high-damage BnBs, high mobility, DHC/glitch exploits, infinite loops, can I go on? EVERYONE has this stuff. On that level, outside of bullshit like Phoenix/DP, MVC3 is a well-balanced game on the virtue that everyone is broken in some way. Point is, it was too fucking early to introduce such a huge nerf to any character that is COMPLETELY BEATABLE if you play smart, and lit up for free by 1/3 of the cast at least. I agree with a damage nerf, even to 1-1.1 mil, but 500k was a little ridiculous, and I don’t even play Sentinel unless I’m just being mean to my friends :lol:. As easy mode as MVC3 is right now, the game is still far, far from being complete on a meta level. No other game has such silly balance patches so early in its lifecycle, especially with other glaring gameplay flaws like X-Factor, DHC resets, infinites, 100% BnBs that are all bigger problems than the character design. Sentinel was just able to exploit bad gameplay design better than others. Capcom listens too much to the newbie kids QQing (that more often than not refuse to put time into getting better) instead of going by top-level player/tournament standings and hardcore community’s opinion. We still don’t even have a high-level Skrull player yet to see what that guy is really capable of.

Pretty soon this game is going to be turned into SSBB… meaning arbitrary community bans to make the game competitive (low damage/no XF tourneys, guarantee it) which means it’s a shit game already. It’s not that bad yet, but with all the bitching of tourney/casual players about the gameplay problems and refusal for Capcom to stand by their “final” product by forcing retarded DLC balancing patches well before the game is figured out, how can this be taken seriously?

me
i h8 his air H or down H.
literally every time i see zero in the air, he teleports, and fishes for a caambow with that normal

I don’t play Sent in my main team, but the pixie health is really a slap on the face. 1.1K would have been more sensible. The fact that Wolverine now has more health than him is just completely hilarious.

If you guys seriously think that Capcom nerfed his health that much solely because people complained, you guys are really naive. Sven and Seth both justified Sentinel’s speed an dmg output, and Ono loves hving characaters that are obviously better.

They must’ve found something else that needed fixing, because they also buffed the dmg on Dante’s lvl 3 hyper and Dormmamu’s lvl 3 hyper. Dante’s is up to 518k from 440k amd Dorm’s is up to 480k(?) from 400k.

damn… really?

Now I’m really curious to see what else they changed. There’s gotta be lots more that hasn’t been noticed yet.

i’m already thinking about how I could change my team to take advantage of this Sent nerf. Like starting Dormammu now, so when i see the drones assist being called I can Chaotic Flame -> XF -> Chaotic Flame -> dead Sent

These changes are wrong, they still do the exact same damage.

I really wish people would get their fucking facts straight before opening their mouths.

I’ll post this here as well instead of just general if anyone cares to verify:

Sent has 910k HP. People keep reporting different numbers.

Chun head stomp is 65k damage.

14 head stomp = 910k and kills him.

Hulk cr.M does 85k. cr.L does 58k.

cr.M x 10 + cr.L does 908k and does not kill Sent.

Dante needed a buff?

Sent’s drone assist is very good, but very punishable. With low health, it won’t take much to kill him with one poorly timed assist.
