I was wondering why the Sentinel in X-Men: COTA looked so much different from the Sentinels in the comic books. IMHO, the comic book Sentinels look pretty goofy, while _this_ Sentinel looks like he means business. Let's see Colossus and Wolverine try their Fastball Special on _this_ guy! >:)
Something I've never understood about the Sentinel. They were suppose to oppose all mutants, right? So why were they fighting with Magneto, who is a mutant, in the video game?
They're not fighting for Magneto in X-Men COTA. Sentinels have a distinct victory pose of capturing any defeated mutant opponent on the final win. Konami's X-Men arcade is a different story. The Brotherhood could have reprogrammed the Sentinels against the X-Men and humans instead.
Sentinel was top tier in COTA, God tier in Marvel Vs Capcom 2, And god tier in the first version of Marvel vs Capcom 3. Then he got patched alot, and eventually modified through Ultimate MVC3. Now he's low-mid tier. Fuck this.
Lol, no. He was only god tier against people who didn't block (which is basically everyone online.) Even if his health hadn't been nerfed, he still would've been maybe mid-high. Besides, Dark Phoenix made that game a complete mess anyway.
AirLancer Do you even follow competitive Mvc3?.. Justin Wong put Sentinel on S tier (the only one) on vanilla 1.00 Mvc3 (release version). Sentinel was: a 1.3million health assist with the best support assist (Drone) in the game, extremely easy 100% combo, X-factor unblockable anywhere (laser x fly, jD combo) and an overall too efficient mid-range game. He was broken early release and got patched for good reasons. Then later in the game, people found out Phoenix techs making her the new god tier. But without the early nerf, nothing would have stopped MVC3 Sentinel and thats coming from Jwong/Marn.
Xecutionner2K Do you? Maybe right at the beginning of the game it seemed that way, before things got figured out. But with the later discovery of the DHC glitch making doing massive damage a piece of cake, a character like Sentinel who's huge and extremely vulnerable to high/low mix ups and instant overheads is just a giant target. Sentinel Drone assist and easy damage was all he had going for him, but when 90% of the cast has huge damage then why bother. Also, Haggar Lariat and Tron's Flame assists were easily the best in the game. How the hell is laser XFC fly, j.D unblockable? You'd just have to block the j.D high. His neutral game isn't very good because of his slow speed, and with characters like Dante, Magneto, and Wolverine in the game Sentinel was fated to never be that good. The nerf just hurt him worse. Shoot, I remember way back at the beginning of SF4 in 2008 people were saying Zangief might've been top tier. Day/Week 1 tier lists are bullshit, and even the pros have a lot of room to figure things out.
AirLancer You are mostly right on everything. You however forget the most important point: practice is vastly different than theorycrafting. Sentinel's ease of use made him a potential 1 hit killer with close to 0% chance of dropping combo. Sorry for the typo, I meant Laser x XFC cancel which is a 50/50 mixup (dash d.LK OR instant j.D) being so fast on Xfc3 it was humanly impossible to predict. Also, the very easy hitconfirm full screen laser, d. LK x HFC, j D was too easy to abuse This, coupled with his then high priority qcf LP target punch > HSF, invincible air super, among some other things, and you only had to realize the first version of Sentinel was so ridiculous they nerfed him after 1 week if I'm right.
Well in practice Sentinel didn't do so hot either. At Evo only one player in Top 8 had Sentinel, 2 in top 16. Compared to 5 Wolverines, 5 Weskers, and 5 Phoenixes. The thing about "dropping combos" is that the best players generally won't drop their combos, regardless of how difficult they might be. Tiers don't take individual player skill into account, and assume that the characters are being played to their fullest potential. Meanwhile, practically all the better characters had "so-fast-you-have-to-guess" mix ups, often being much better than Sentinel's, and they didn't even need XF to do them. I have almost no doubt that if Vanilla Marvel 3 continued to be played competitively, and even if Sentinel had kept his health, you'd see the use of Sentinel steadily decline. Sure there'd be the odd player here and there who'd try to make it work, but most would write him off as not worth it. The assist, while good, wouldn't make up for all his shortcomings on defense, neutral, and if he was forced to be anchor.
@ChaosBroly From this game to MvC3, Sentinel is in his worst shape yet. This one and MvC2 Sent at least required a bit of effort for their damage and had the tools to be top tier. MvC3 Sent however is just a big punisher with easy as pie combos, but gets zoned out pathetically and NOW can't even take a hit for his big size.
Ninja Warriors Once Again for PS4 (the remake of the Ninja Warriors SNES game) introduces Raiden as a playable character. It's a gigantic ninja robot similar to the Sentinel from X-Men COTA.
You're creepy. As a matter of fact fuck your weak ass fragile pop culture and social media. Anyone who uses the word creepy had a cucumber shoved up their ass as a child. Anyone who uses that term is a pussy.
It really captures the horror and evil of the sentinels.
they are not evil they are just doing their job
Me too
@@TurkishDude570 which is a evil job. Detaining and capturing sentient beings for experimentation and enslavement.
Evil? They are just robots
@@daniellap.stewart6839 robots can be Evil. Ahem..Ultron-
Holy fuck , you can almost feel the terror of the Sentinels as depicted by Claremont
Yup!
Gives off the feel of your sanctuary being destroyed.... surrounded by towering figures with their searchlights beamed at you...
Sentinel model COTA-94. Gotta love it.
WHAT IS THAT OBJECT? IT APPEARS TO BE THE ACE OF SPADES! *KABOOM*
Ghad dayum I remember that from when I was a kid. XD
I got one!
I do believe whereas Capcom used all the rest of the characters' icons scanned from comics, they hand drew the one for Sentinel on this game.

@@BloodyBay The earlier ones, yes. But the later designs do look much better.
no they don't. they were based not scanned from comics. based on Jim Lee's drawings.
@@sparcx86channel42 Jim Lee's Marvel art style is the best, too bad it only suits the 90's gritty era.

Sentinel: Surrender Mutant
Cyclops: Of course.. Not!
An underrated theme.
and character too. impressive animation
0:27 ... Love that part so much.
Sentinel is one of the best robots ever made.
How to play as Sentinel according to me:
1. Rub your hands all over the buttons to jump high
2. Land on your opponent and press punch.
Accurate! Lmao
Actually beat Juggernaut with this. 10/10 strategy
Mid air hard kick, hard punch to smack them down, rocket punch
Spinning body press
COTA Sentinel is the Strongest version of the Series IMO.
"NEUTRALIZE!"
UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT FOUND. ENTERING COMBAT MODE.
Found a Maverick. I'll take care of it.
Surrender mutant, Omega threat detected!
Rocket Punch
MrRiddler6 yes
If they mass produced the COTA sentinels, wouldn’t the X-Men and other mutants have a difficult time against them?
I like the Giant sentinel that rises in the background of this stage!
Master Mold! He's the Sentinel's big daddy.
I love this theme
ROCKET PUNCH.
Mazinger Z: Am I joking to you?
Master Mold
ugh that god forsaken rocket punch there was no escape from it
1) Spiral's Teleport.
2) Spiral's Switch.
But yeah, if you _weren't_ playing Spiral, then you were constantly getting smacked by the Rocket Punch. ;-)

His face in the Marvel vs. games is more reminiscent of Nimrod, which is a much stronger version of the sentinels in the comics.
Ominous theme 💀
in the 90s my thought Sentinel was a boss character.
Reminds me of Darkstalkers.

Konami's X-Men arcade is a different story. The Brotherhood could have reprogrammed the Sentinels against the X-Men and humans instead.
In the arcade game he reprograms the sentinels to oppose all humans (instead of mutants just like he did in ultimate x-men)
that was in the arcade Beat 'em up, where magneto had them reprogrammed, in X-Men COTA, the sentinels oppose ALL mutants, magneto included.
Rest in peace Dan Hennessey…
The walk really sounded like a Gundam's stomp. I liked Capcom's version(along with a long list of what anything modern Japan did and will do).

They should have put Nimrod instead of just a random sentinel.
I think because of that random inclusion in this game, that specific sentinel became it’s own character- appearing in every Vs. game after that
