We’re learning a lot about Marvel vs. Capcom’s cinematic, more-involving Story Mode, as well as who’s actually going to be in it, but what about the nitty-gritty details — the system mechanics and controls? This year’s E3 is rich in presentations, and Peter “ComboFiend” Rosas from Capcom is here to provide a quick but detailed rundown of what buttons we’ll use for Hyper Combos to smash the opposing duos.
Here’s the basic control scheme diagram provided in the video:
New to Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite are:
- Simple Commands
- Execute an auto-combo by repeatedly pressing the light punch button; less damage but always works.
- Pressing heavy punch and heavy kick together do an “Easy Hyper Combo” — one of the character’s supers.
- Active Switch
- Switch characters any time with one button.
- Can also switch character while they’re attacked, to “Counter Switch.” Spends two bars.
- Infinity Stone
- Infinity Surge — a unique action different to each Stone.
- Infinity Storm — trigger the full power of the Stone to completely change the battlefield in your favor.
