re: Blanka's old close fierce

This attack was nice looking, but so useless...
Too slow, too easyly punishable...
No wonder they removed it almost immediatly...
Yeah. Nice looking, but an awful move to actually use. I do miss his old double-knee (close standing MK) though.
Sentinel's missing a boatload of moves from COTA. Low fierce was a missile, not a beam, and he's missing his two most powerful moves: J.roundhouse (the big swinging boot, did about 25% damage) and the Fanblade roundhouse. If you thought he was overpowered in MvC2 *before*, just imagine him with *those* moves back. o_O
Also, Sentinel could BLOCK IN THE AIR WHILE FLYING in COTA. And if you hit him out of the air while flying, he would NOT be knocked out of it (he would get up immediately in flight mode)!
He also had a throw-counter, meaning that trying to throw him was pointless unless you had more meter than him. All in all, COTA was one really scary bastard. =|
You know what moves I really miss? All of Zangief's cool throws from the first SF2 games. The Alley-Oop, the Overshoulder slam, the power bomb, the normal pile-driver, the german suplex, the iron claw, the stomach pump... I miss those moves. Yeah, he didn't *need* all of them per se, and there were a number of redundant ones, but they were cool dammit! PLus, he seemed closest to a real power wrestler back then. Now he's just some big guy with a couple wrestling-ish moves. :(

Total and absolute agree. I miss those moves too, they made him cooler.

The first thing I tried with it (can't say him for a Sentinel...) was this dreaded roundhouse, so powerfull, it was the killing Magneto move... so when I found it wasn't there, I was sad...

And dont forget the "grab the guy on the ground" move like Colossus, it was a good way to teach beginner people to not sleep on the ground...

I'm also on your club : I liked this variety...
By the way, it reminds me the same thing for the throws in Fatal Fury 2 & Special with Big Bear & Jubei (& Axel ), who had also a diagonal up-forward grab, hard to perform, but with great damage...
