We have a patch coming for Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite that brings a large amount of balance changes to certain characters and Infinity Stones. Continue on to read the patch notes for the update on December 5.

GENERAL

• Reality Stone Infinity Surge
  • Increased start-up from 8F to 20F
  • Decreased active frames from 120F to 90F
  • Increased projectile speed
  • Projectile now disappears if player is hit
  • Lengthened time needed for the projectile to start homing
  • Gradually reduced hit stun on block from startup – max. of 12F to min. of 6F
    • Made it easier to reflect with Advancing Guard immediately after start-up
• Can roll forward/backwards after crumpling
  • Crumple – A unique form of knockdown that affects a character upon landing on the ground after being hit in the air by certain moves (i.e. Hadoken)
• Space Infinity Storm
  • Decreased duration when activated at 50% from 10 sec. to 8 sec.
  • Decreased duration when activated at 100% from 20 sec. to 16 sec.
• Fixed bug causing the minimum value to become 16 when damage scaling, etc. causes the anti-recovery value to be reduced to 0.
  • Fixes issue where combos become easier after damage scaling is maxed out.
• When piercing-projectile specials are cancelled out, their hitboxes now remain, but opponents are not affected by hit stun.
  • Exceptions
    • Arthur (wearing Golden Armor): Short Sword, Spear, Torch, Boomerang, Axe
    • Chris: Magnum Shot, Magnum
    • Thor: Mjolnir
• Changed Advancing Guard so that if a player is in block animation continuously for 300F from the first blocked hit, using advancing guard on a projectile will push the opponent away.
• Off the Ground (OTG) Relaunch Attacks:
  • Changed so that OTG relaunch attacks (attacks that ignore opponent’s knocked down state and damage them as if they are standing) are limited to twice within a single combo (excluding Hyper Combos)
  • Affected moves:
    • Dante: Volcano, Drive
    • Thanos: Titan Charge HP
    • Jedah: Turbine dell’Ira LK/HK
    • Captain America: Trick Shield LK

    • Dormammu: Purification LP/LK/HP/HK
    • Arthur: Torch
• Made input buffer for normal moves possible during post mid-air recovery.
• Changed minimum value of gravity for air block (whiff) to match that of falling from a normal jump.
• Changed so that jump count is not reset after Wall Jump
  • Affected characters:
    • Chun-Li
    • Strider Hiryu
• Fixed a bug that caused the shadow’s hitbox to remain for the duration of the hitstun if the character takes damage with long hitstun while using a shadow attack. Also fixed bug that caused the shadow to put out an incorrect hitbox when hit by an opponent’s throw or attack throw while shadow is activated.
  • Affected characters:
    • Gamora
    • Zero
• Fixed a bug that caused certain characters to go off-screen when performing Wall Cling while captured by the Space Stone and the opponent retreats to the opposite wall.
  • Affected characters:
    • Firebrand
    • Black Panther
• Fixed a bug that caused background music to stop when too many special effects overlap.
• Fixed a bug that caused matches to end in a draw regardless of actual result when Fight Request is ON in Training Mode, and a shortcut is used to Restart during the frames before the “Here Comes a New Challenger” message appears.
• Made it easier for players ranked 5 ^th and above to match with other players.
• When an opponent has been hit by three special “grab” projectiles in a single combo, they will automatically be affected by a spiral hit stun, causing them to be invincible and sent into the air.
  • Affected characters:
    • Spider-Man: Web Ball (LP/HP/air version)
    • Frank West – Hammer Throw (LK/HK)
• Fixed a bug that allowed such combos to be continued by hitting the opponent with attack throws (ex: Jedah’s Sangue Sacrificale)
