An update for Marvel Vs Capcom 3 is now available for the Xbox 360 and PS3. The main purpose of the update is to add Event Mode, which is a series of special challenges. Event Mode won't be live until March 25.

The update also addressed some balancing issues, specifically for Marvel's Sentinel. Sentinel is thought to be the most powerful character in the game with powerful attacks, lots of health and relatively easy controls. The patch decreases Sentinel's health from 1,300,000 to 905,000. OMG! Nerf!

    wow, what does that really solve though?
    did they do more than nerf his energy? I mean seriously his damage output is un-Godly. Adjust that who cares about his energy bar!
    Pheonix's energy bar doesnt mean a whole lot when she "cant control it" and she owns your team around the screen if she gets on a role.

    Loved taking 3 sentinels on MvC2 and destroying my friend. He was far better than me at it but couldn't get near the sentinel. Lasers!!!

    Did they decrease his attack? That is what should happen. MvC3 would be so much fun if people did not spam and actually fought. I have only played against like 3 people that actually know how to fight. It's a shame really. Thanks for ruining the game guys/gals/things/etc.

    Sentinel wasn't too big of an issue if you knew how to play against him. He still has hyper armor on his launcher and still does his incredible damage. I think the health nerf makes sense, but he is by no means an nonviable character. He will still dominate people who blindly rush.

    Funny when I talked about not getting the game due to Sentinel being in it causing Balancing issues. Everyone gave it a thumbs down. Now he's the first character to get nerfed due to exactly what I said. Sucks to say I was right but........

    I never have a problem with sentinel's spamming. Chris's prone stance takes care of that.

    Sentinel needed to be gimped, but not that bad. He's a giant freaking robot, he's supposed to have high health. Plus, Wolverine and Amateratsu wreck his metal face. Also, I think just bringing Sent down to Hulk's health or just an even 1 Mil would've been sufficient.

    I really wasn't having THAT much trouble beating him, but whatever. Now I get to kick his butt even more.

    There's a couple more changes, mostly taking out glitches/infinites, but you got the main part - Sentinel got a health nerf. GJ, G4.
