It’s only natural that players figure out ways to break apart aging games, performing with ease what was once thought as impossible. We see this sort of thing happen in fighters all the time, typically in the form of ridiculous combos, setups, or the like, but Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 players must be going for some kind of record because the onslaught of potentially game-changing discoveries to surface in recent weeks borders on alarming.

First we saw the Maluk shield change the way we think about team ordering, then we saw this strange interaction between tag-ins and screen spacing, and now Paulow3b and BE|Kane Blueriver have shared with us different methods for taking advantage of infinite properties on incoming characters.

For those out of the loop, keeping your character off the ground after eliminating someone with a TAC infinite carries the properties that make it possible over to when the second fighter enters the fray, allowing you to whittle them down the same way. This technique still requires that the first hit land before the victim makes a slow march toward an empty health bar, but as you’ll see below, it’ll be easy for anyone with a firm grasp on their infinite options to put this strategy to work when the stars align.

While not as new as more recent discoveries, very few players have taken the time to explore this technique’s applications. Even if you knew about this already, do yourself a favor and check out the video below for a more in-depth look at its properties.
