What's different from the previous entry

• Team size: Matches use two fighters per team rather than three, changing team-building strategy and match tempo.
• Tag system: Traditional off-screen assists were removed and replaced with a free-form tag mechanic that emphasizes direct character swapping and on-screen synergy, similar in feel to some tag implementations in other modern fighting games.
• Accessibility: Complex combo paths were reduced to make the system more approachable to newcomers while keeping room for advanced execution and creative play.

The Infinity Stones mechanic

• Before each match, players select an Infinity Stone that grants a unique passive and activated ability.
• Stones are activated by spending energy from an Infinity Meter accrued during combat.
• Each stone offers distinct strategic benefits that can alter neutral play, give comeback potential, or enhance offensive/defensive options.

Who will enjoy this game

If you like fast tag fighting and are a fan of both Marvel lore and Capcom’s characters, this title combines both worlds into an accessible yet strategic experience. Expect a learning curve while you adapt to new systems and stone choices, but dedicated practice will unlock satisfying depth.
