'''Sentinel''' is a beast in MvC2. A high-level Sentinel stomping on the opponent and then hitting the next character coming in with an unblockable renders about 3/4 of the game's characters nearly unplayable. He is God Tier, and one of the best characters in the game. | |||

* | *'''Flight Mode:''' Sentinel flight mode is incredibly fast and evasive in the air while also being able to call assists. He can also cancel in and out of flight, opening up his pressure, mix, and combo game. | ||
*'''Godlike Zoning:''' Heavy Punch lasers combined with drones are enough to make 80% of the cast completely miserable but adding in long limbs and flight allows Sentinel to control much of the screen. Hyper Sentinel Force and Rocket Punch allows conversions into big damage. | |||
*'''Great Endurance:''' He takes 25% less damage from any incoming attacks, which gives him the most health out of any character. | |||
*'''Super Armor:''' Possesses a single hit of super armor constantly on the ground, including during his idle animations. | |||
*'''High Damage:''' His FastFly and ReFly combos allow him to deal a good 60% off a single combo with the right assist, in combination with his guardbreak and chip damage he can wipe teams off the map in seconds. | |||
*'''Hyper Sentinel Force:''' One of the best DHC options for both huge damage and flexibility for both combos into and out of it. Also loops into itself on hit and safe on block. | |||
*'''Chip Potential:''' Normals do chip damage on block, allows for a large amount of damage when combined with multiple flights and assists. | |||
*'''Strong Assists:''' Yes, of course he also has some of the best assists in the game. Drones has strong neutral control and Rocket Punch is a strong combo assist. | |||
|cons= | |cons= | ||
* | *'''Big Boy:''' Being the largest character in the game does have some drawbacks. Sent's big body means he takes extra damage and chip from moves like hailstorm. His large hurtbox also means he can have a hard time navigating around zoning, and he’s also so damn big that near every character has a standing infinite on him. | ||

{{lk}} Sentinel Force is pretty easy to use, although it's tricky to combo afterwards because you can't use Hyper Sentinel Force while mini-Sentinels are on screen. {{hk}} Sentinel Force is harder, and is best used with an assist that pins the opponent vertically such as Blackheart. {{hk}} also is a good way to stop crossup rushdown if they use superjumps to come in at you. | |||

This is a great assist for pressuring and chipping enemy characters. Being a 3-hit assist, it will also neutralize many opposing assists if used earlier. Also something to note, since the drones hit some time apart and keep your enemy stunned for a moment, it creates a great opportunity to rush in and start a combo, also giving you time to decide what to do, since it gives you such a larger window than his projectile assist. Use it if you plan to keep-away, chip, or trap enemies. Widely used in crossups and traps. | This is a great assist for pressuring and chipping enemy characters.

== The Unblockable == | == The Unblockable == | ||
{{d}} + {{hp}} is unblockable under certain conditions. The crouching laser is a 2 hit move and the last few frames of the move are lacking the correct guard triggers. That means the attack will be unblockable if and only if you hit late on those last frames. If you hit the opponent with any earlier parts of the move (ie they are already in block stun) or there is another move on screen for them to block, {{d}} + {{hp}} will be blocked as normal. | |||
Some common situations to land this are incoming opponents from a snap/death, opponents getting up from knockdown, or opponents falling down from either jumping or after getting hit by Captain Commando AAA. The scenario where opponents are getting up is the best way to guarantee the unblockable (if timed right of course). This can then be easily linked into a combo, notably {{d}} + {{hp}} (unblockable), RP, HSF. | |||
Standard setup for unblockable in the corner: Launch, sj.LP, sj.LP, sj.HP Rocket Punch, (delay) sj.HP, sj.HK. If timed right, this should cause a forced roll and set up a chance for the unblockable (HK should just barely hit as you land). | |||

Sentinel
Story
The Sentinel is a character from the X-Men series by Marvel. Created by scientist and anti-mutant bigot Bolivar Trask to protect humanity from the 'mutant threat,' Sentinels are equipped with advanced A.I. and incredibly powerful attacks designed to combat specific mutant abilities.
The Sentinel that appears in the series has the model number COTA-94, debuting as a playable character in X-Men: Children of the Atom. It reappeared in Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes, Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds and Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. It is a secret assist character in Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes.
Gameplay
Sentinel is a beast in MvC2. A high-level Sentinel stomping on the opponent and then hitting the next character coming in with an unblockable renders about 3/4 of the game's characters nearly unplayable. He is God Tier, and one of the best characters in the game.

Repeat to end. You can't block in flight mode, but you are way more mobile and can call assists if they come near. This is your bread and butter. Fly and show them your boots of love or your frying pan of justice. If your Sentinel doesn't fly, you're going to get killed. | |||||

This is a great assist for pressuring and chipping enemy characters. Being a 3-hit assist, it will also neutralize many opposing assists if used earlier. Also something to note, since the drones hit some time apart and keep your enemy stunned for a moment, it creates a great opportunity to rush in and start a combo, also giving you time to decide what to do, since it gives you such a larger window than his projectile assist. Use it if you plan to keep-away, chip, or trap enemies. Widely used in crossups and traps. | |||||
The Unblockable
+ is unblockable under certain conditions. The crouching laser is a 2 hit move and the last few frames of the move are lacking the correct guard triggers. That means the attack will be unblockable if and only if you hit late on those last frames. If you hit the opponent with any earlier parts of the move (ie they are already in block stun) or there is another move on screen for them to block, + will be blocked as normal.
Some common situations to land this are incoming opponents from a snap/death, opponents getting up from knockdown, or opponents falling down from either jumping or after getting hit by Captain Commando AAA. The scenario where opponents are getting up is the best way to guarantee the unblockable (if timed right of course). This can then be easily linked into a combo, notably + (unblockable), RP, HSF.
Standard setup for unblockable in the corner: Launch, sj.LP, sj.LP, sj.HP Rocket Punch, (delay) sj.HP, sj.HK. If timed right, this should cause a forced roll and set up a chance for the unblockable (HK should just barely hit as you land).

Fast Fly
Normally when you enter into Fly mode, there is a (vulnerable) pause for activation. However, you can can cancel this and immediately get the ability to attack, defend, etc. To do this, after you fly return to neutral, then select a direction and press an attack button.
Easy fast fly combo: jump in >, jump up >, fastfly > xx Rocket Punch. (7hits)
Unfly
Normally when you end fly mode you can't attack nor block(!). To get unfly mode you need to get hit in the air by any non-knockdown move. You then enter into unfly mode (until you normal jump or use it 5-7 times). This is extremely useful for fast stomping.
