Shut up! - The Sentinel Thread

Ha, in reality a sentinel would lose really badly to just about everyone in the cast. I swear they are just cannon fodder. :stuck_out_tongue:

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.

Guys comon. Don’t you know they’re just trying to make the game more cannon to the comic books? In the comics Wolverine tore the shit out of sentinels for breakfast, now that actually happens in game!

/troll

Ok in all honesty Sent def needed something done and it was. I would have preferred a damage nerf but this works too. This forces Sent players to actually THINK when bringing him out as an assist and also compensates for his moves having armor. I want to see Sent players now because it will take far more skill to utilize him to his full potential. Im also thinking they were trying to make him more along the lines of Phoenix (considering those 2 are compared all the damn time with their Damage output) where to compensate for stupid damage with or without X-factor they give them low HP.

LOL ppl won’t play a game because Sent lost one little thing???

Yes it’s very strange to see a nerf so soon, but it seems like they were thinking about this before the game even dropped. I’m all for this. Tired of seeing him on 90% of the teams I play, and it’s gonna be hilarious watching everyone drop him over 400k health

Dont do good on justin tv or your character is next. Just forcing character variety online is all this will do. Instead of having a slight challenge against shitty players online they’re just going to be free until they find out who else is stupid with a lot of health. The new shit is going to be Haggar piping and Hulk smashing all day.

I don’t use Sentinel but this is fucking stupid beyond belief. It sucks that whiney scrubs actually have an impact in the balance in fighting game these days.

I don’t see them nerfing vanilla Zangief’s health even though he can 50% any character in the game with a one frame command grab ultra in their “blockstring.” Lame. Sent still can’t get in and gets instant overheaded by the entire cast. If he touches you, you’re dead, but he should never touch you to begin with.

lol ammy and zero have less options?!?! what the hell kind of version of MvC3 are you playing bro -_-

Love it or hate it, Sentinel players aren’t going to get much sympathy from the community. Remember, this was the group taunting the rest of the player base after Sentinel’s reveal about just HOW powerful he was, with slogan’s about his 10-more-years of dominance, sodium levels, and so on.

There’s a very real reason this happened, and taking opinion completely out of it, no one can argue with the fact of how many teams online and in competitive play use(d) Sentinel. Either there was a gameplay reason motivating use of him, or it was sheer coincidence, which is a bit ludicrous to suggest. I don’t know if it was too big a hit (I would’ve liked to see his damage reduced to about Tron level and his armored normals changed to normal MvC2 armor instead of the health thing), but it’s done. And people saying it doesn’t make sense for the character are kidding themselves, since Sentinel is literally a throwaway drone that gets trashed by the dozens by average mutants.

Some people will kneejerk-react to the kneejerk nerf. A few people (far less than those saying so) will actually quit. The rest of the community will move on and not give a damn. The truth is that if Sentinel had been introduced in this game this way (with 910k health, big damage, armored normals, etc.), people would have been a bit surprised but overall pretty impressed with how strong he was. It’s only by comparison now that people are inspired to bitch. I’m now actually looking forward to seeing how people will be playing Sentinel in a few months.

I don’t use Sent, but I was just gonna start building my secondary team, Mags/Zero/Sent when this bullshit appeared on my screen. Horrible nerf and it doesn’t even makes sense, if what people are complaining is that Sentinel did too much damage so easily, nerf the damage, but dont nerf his life by 400 points!

That’s ridiculous, Sent gets instant overhead by almost all the cast do now he is eating “easy” 650k combos which now for him is like what, 68% or something. I can rant about this for hours but I will just end it with one point. You take this huge metal robot, in which in most of the fighting games history big characters are supposed to have big health because of how slow they are (even do they do heavy damage to compensate), and remove all of his life, the only factored that balanced Sentinel’s really harsh weakness because of his size. This is just like people complaining about Guile’s Sonic Boom recovery in SSf4, imagine instead of fixing that, they move Guile to the same health as Seth, fair now right? Ridiculous.

My thoughts exactly and the fact that they listen to the casual crowd for a competitive game

fuck it

:clapdos: Well said, I agree with all of it.

Not anymore right ;( Now most of the good characters (or atleast the most used) have below average health. Tron, Spencer, and Doom are probably the only used ones with high health.

Nerf his damage not his hp

Dude is so huge that the low hp makes no sense hit 1 bnb and he is done

Really now that strategy guide is pointless, now sent has new strats

he was easily beatable, now he will be even easier

the problem was not his health, the problem was with the brain dead 50-75% that the entire roster has

a lot of people overreacting ,sentinel is still the beast that can ocv you team, sentinel still have all the options he had, now you guys will just have to think a bit when calling his assist and work on his defensive game
good sentinels will still be good sentinels and sentinel will still be high/top tier material

Ironic how Sentinel scrubs are blaming “scrub” complaints for the nerf. Before you had to catch Sentinel in 2 -3 monster combos to take him out giving him essentially several due overs, unlike the rest of the cast that if you touch once you can take 90-100 percent. You can still mash boot and frying pan to get your one touch kills, stop crying **** you can still use you’re “win button” character it’s just that you wont be able to be a mashing scrub as much.

Wow well said and very good points, unfortunately people are just gonna ignore your post and continue bitching because, well, its so much easier to complain than actually practice.

You’re correct. The damage display in the game is inaccurate for long combos due to a rounding bug, which is what’s leading to the conflicting reports.

Also look on the bright side. Now all the people who like Sentinel as a character can use him without getting as many complaints. All three of you. :rofl:

and now everyone’s laughing and rubbing salt in the sentinel fans wounds
saying “How do you like it now?! let’s see how you like your oh so precious robot now!”

Average is about 950k. So, I’d still say Wesker and others with 1100k+ are the high health-tier now.
