== 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.

|pros=
*'''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=
*'''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.

= Advanced Strategy =
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.

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.

Strengths Weaknesses
  • 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.
  • 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.

Written as 'RP' further into this article. Probably Sentinel's single most used special move in the game, due to his bread-and-butter hp>RP. This move can be done with either Qcf.png + Lp.png (which goes down between 45 degrees and 60 degrees. these are approximations, just demonstrating variation) / Hp.png (which punches straight), or with Dp.png + P.png (which goes upwards at an angle and can be used as an anti-air) though it's not very useful outside of air combos.

The rocket punch can be chained from the lp>mp>short/hard RP or from Hp.png (hard RP)

Using Lk.png will summon mini Sentinels that you can control vertically with the joystick; Hk.png summons slow-moving mini Sentinels that will bomb the area just in front of you (hold the button to cause them to bomb across the screen).

Lk.png 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.png Sentinel Force is harder, and is best used with an assist that pins the opponent vertically such as Blackheart. Hk.png also is a good way to stop crossup rushdown if they use superjumps to come in at you.

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.

Mash buttons for more damage. This is a less useful super, though if it connects, it can be very damaging. See Bread-and-Butter Combos.

Air only. This move is one of the more useless of the supers. The best use for this super is as a DHC (such as the hailstorm), or his his launcher xx sj.lp>sj.lk>sj.lp xx HD

Lp.png Rocket Punch. Variable counter is also Lp.png Rocket Punch. Variable Combination super is Hyper Sentinel Force.

This is primarily used for rushdown play and as a combo-starter for many air combos, including some infinites. Recommended for rushdown and high-pressure play UP CLOSE. Don't send this assist out randomly, as it will leave Sent open for massive combos.

Lk.png Sentinel Force. Variable Counter is also Lk.png Sentinel Force. Variable Combination super is Hyper Sentinel Force.

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.
