Sentinel May Not Be in Marvel vs. Capcom 3?

It appears that Ryota Niitsuma, Marvel vs. Capcom 3's producer, has disconfirmed Sentinel in an interview conducted with Eurogamer Espana (Google Translate link), which was originally written in Spanish.

This normally wouldn't be too big of a deal, but someone posting under the name Lupinko has been leaking information about MvC3 for some time, and has been extremely accurate to date, revealing numerous characters in advance. He claimed Sentinel and Hsien-Ko would be announced, but Niitsuma's statement today goes directly against one of his predictions.

Here's a translated version of the relevant paragraph from RyanCE.

Ryota Niitsuma: Indeed, we could not choose characters that were not on [Marvel's] list, and if there were some we wanted to use Marvel told us "do not pick that, take this one instead." In this sense, we wanted to bring back a couple of characters from MvC2, such as Juggernaut and Sentinel, but we could not.

Many people are currently split over who to believe on this since Lupinko has been so accurate to date, but Niitsuma is the title's producer.

Other things of note from the article include:

• The first DLC package won't be expensive. When asked about the schedule for DLC, Niitsuma said they haven't already planned this, but, "Potentially we could release a DLC [package] every two weeks..."

• Niitsuma talks about the possibility of releasing a balance patch once the game has launched, although Capcom has made other statements like this in the past for the Street Fighter 4 series, saying they can patch the game after wards, if needed.

• There's at least one character to be revealed besides the 36 member roster. This might be Galactus, as an unplayable boss.

What do you Jimmys think? Let us know in the comments. Thanks for reading.

Do you think Sentinel will be in Marvel vs Capcom 3?

Comments

Well, I sure as HELL thought they would, they had storm, magnetoo and IFC Yipes quotes for Deadpool, it definitely seemed like they were gonna give fans that ridiculous team back, but also they have been making this marvel a lot more diverse, and if Niitsuma says no, then im sure Sentinel is not in it.

and for the DLC, good more people are saying its gonna be cheap. Svenson even said it wont be like " 10 dollar character" dlc and shit, so im stoked on what we're gona get for reasonable prices. potentionally dlc every 2 weeks? SHIT YEA. even though its not going to be characters, since they spoked of other dlc such as costumes and stages, its good seeing a game with a lot of variety and updates.

and the rebalance thing seems like a good idea. Magneto has that corner throw that leaves you frozen in some weird ass ice block then you do super, its like Gouken but way more possibilites. and Dante can do some of the easiest way into supers.

either way idc about sentinel,lol

I was never one to actually use Sentinel, so i don't have any beef with it myself. However, i would ALWAYS pick Jin in one of my teams and i have no idea if he's actually going to be in the damn game. I'm still stoked as hell about this game though XD

There are so many other better candidates from both sides that would have been neat to see in MVC3 too.
