Marvel vs. Capcom 3 patch preps for new mode, tweaks fighters
Capcom launched an update for Marvel vs. Capcom 3 earlier today to prepare for the new "Event Mode" that will be added to the game this Friday -- however, the patch has also quietly introduced a few balance changes to some characters' intricately measured statistics. The most drastic is a reduction in Sentinel's health, which has been dropped from 1.3 million tiny units (the most health of any fighter in the game) to 905,000, according to Shoryuken.
The patch also nixes a few fairly unfair loops belonging to Spencer, Akuma and Haggar. Hey, why not remove their grappling hook, forbidden demonic Kung-Fu and impossibly gigantic muscles while you're at it? Those seem pretty unfair, too.

I'm surprised they're actually adding something to the game instead of just making everyone pay for something that was already in the game for once.
That Sentinel nerf was clearly not geared toward competition as everybody had already figured out how to deal with him.
a bigger deal would be removing him
Everyone already had counters for him and now he has less health than Dante.
