Edit: Hsien Ko, Sentinel and Galactus all confirmed, expect reveal trailers monday.
 
  

The glare on the right side bothers me to no end. 
 It's probably legit, but if it was a really well done fake, that wouldn't surprise me either.

Well... I hope its real!

FUCK THE KNICKS?

Neat, but I would still rather have Frank West, regardless of technical problems.

If they don't have that Mango Sentinel then that's a copy un-SOLD! "

THANK GOD FOR THE MACHINE

Mango.

The powers that be are championing this picture, so it looks like it's valid. 
 
Which means Hsien-ko later this week, and THAT'S all I care about.

If thats a fake, then its a damn good one. 

that's sooooo sentinel.

If it does turn out to be true then it's such a waste of a character slot. I understand it's a classic MvC character but there are plenty other classic MvC characters that have suffered the cut also, all of which would be more interesting than a generic Sentinel unit.

That is so fuckin Pringles.

So, here's the thing.  Sentinel sucks.  
 
No one's favorite character is Sentinel.  If you polled the entire world on who their favorite Marvel character is, no one would say the sentinels from X-men.  Hell, why not just put in The Kingpin's Henchman?  Yeah, that's right.  The Kingpin's Henchman.  Capitalized to denote a single solitary henchman.  That is exactly what Sentinel is.  A generic robot henchman.  Also, I don't care how good he was in Marvel 2.  If they're going for that logic, where the hell is Strider?

How are people still talking about that fucking fool from years ago. They already threw a curly mustache thing in there, that's more than they should have done. Sentinal's a big character and the game could use more, also I'd take it over Juggernaut knowing they would feel compelled to work in an even stupider meme for that.

I hope he's at least vaguely balanced. I know he's just here because of his lineage in MVC2. But I don't want to go online with this game and just get constantly rushed down with him like I experience playing MVC2 online. Well.. I can take confort in the fact that MVC3 is slower (which is actually a good thing).

@Hansolol: While Sentinel isn't a single, unique character, he's one of the more iconic X-Men villains besides Magneto and Apocalypse. X-Men is my favorite Marvel franchise so I'm excited to see him return. Plus it shows me that they are catering to people who really care, and not casuals. Appealing solely to casuals is how you make a bad fighting game.

Also, with all of the bitching about him being in the game, I might have to play MSS on the side to troll whiny scrubs.

Is there anyone who honestly didn't expect him to return? I mean honestly. Deep down in the pit of your soul, did you truly believe he would not make a comeback.
 
And in a game with C. Viper, Shuma Gorath, Jill, and a few other questionable choices; is Sentinel, of all people, truly a wasted character slot? Really?
 
He's never been a character I'd ever use outside of messing around with some friends, but I certainly don't mind him being i this game.

Kinda thought he'd be a non-playable midboss type deal.

Considering that C. Viper, Gorath and Jill are actual characters with personalities... then yeah, a giant, generic robot is a complete waste. "

Get what your saying, and when you look at it like that maybe Bastion or Onslaught would have been better choices but Sentinel was pretty much the personality of MvC2, and it adds variety to the roster so I'm cool with it. "

Personality is the last thing you should be looking for in a fighting game.  By that logic 90% of fighting game characters are a complete waste.

Man, I really hated playing against  Sentinels in MvC 2, but I can't say I'm surprised that he's back.

If you work that out at 90% then the only fighting games you've obviously played are Dead or Alive and War Gods. "

MANGO SENTINEL!!!!!!!!

I play Street Fighter, Tekken, Soul Calibur, Marvel vs Capcom, King of Fighters and BlazBlue primarily.  Almost all of the characters in these games are gross caricatures with no real depth.  Maybe we just have different definitions for the word, but a giant Native American falls out of the sky, sits on you, then raises his palm and says, "How," I see the antithesis of "personality". "

Sentinel is weird.  The game would not have been affected badly if Sent wasn't in, but the game only gets cooler if Sent is in.  Funny how that goes.
 
Capcom said new characters would be announced next week/this weekend, HD Sent with remixed Genosha stage will be amazing.  Same thing for Lei-Lei's trailer, I'm like going to watch that fifty times to make sure that it's actually happening after this wait, lol :p
 
 
as for the whole "characters with personality" thing, look at it this way:  They put in the RE 5 versions of Chris, Wesker, and Jill.  That is all.

A much clearer image here. Haters go ahead and hate.

Also, the final character select screen:

It's true, it's daaaaaamn true.
    

HYYYYYYPE!!!!!!

Hell yesssss. 
 
Also, if Deadpool's going to refer to "curleh mustache" then they better have the goddamn Mango Sentinel.

Confirmed for best game ever?
 
@RecSpec: If they put in Yipes' personal colour edit for Magneto, they have the Mango Sentinel.
 
The Republic of Black Sentinel for a stage!

All aboard the hype train. SRK is broke (again) because of a couple of leaks, fuck is going to happen when the full game comes out...

Sentinel's in? 
 
Then I'm out.  I was hoping for a change of pace.  Apparently, Capcom could give a shit less about that.

" Sentinel's in?  Then I'm out.  I was hoping for a change of pace.  Apparently, Capcom could give a shit less about that. "

It's not so much that Sent is good (he is really good because his fly/unfly is broken as shit because of the system, as compared to COTA Sent where he is still good but not completely broken), but that those 90% invalidates themselves :p
 
Besides, if you really want to make a low character on point or team valid, Sent should be one of your best friends :p

 Hsien-ko is in? Awesooooome. 

Aw yeah Hsien-ko! I was just waiting for my hopes to be crushed that she wasn't gonna be in there. So glad that that didn't happen.

Not a huge sentinel fan (he's so damn powerful); I just wish it had been Juggernaut instead.

Wow, I can't believe people are actually defending Sentinel's inclusion.
 
Imagine if Mokap from Mortal Kombat Armageddon was one of the best, most fun characters to play in that game.  And then the final character revealed for Mortal Kombat 9 ends up being Mokap.  And then you went on forums and people were like, "Yeah Mokap is the man, you just don't get it. MANGO MOKAP, MAG-FUCKIN-MOKAP"  You'd shit yourself.

 Do you guys play Marvel?  I don't mean "I picked it up on XBox Live, my team of Guile/Venom/Sabretooth is unbeatable," I mean actually play the game?
 
lmao at bringing Mortal Kombat into this, seriously.  I can understand being disappointed Sent was the final reveal, but if I were at Capcom planning them, I would have announced Sent with Akuma then not announce Hsien-Ko and Taskmaster until launch day just to weed out the scrubs.
