| Game Options |
================
After selecting your character you will be given a choice between "Turbo" and
"Normal" speed. Turbo is a good deal faster than normal mode.
In a two player game, the challenger will be given the option to choose speed
for the match unless both players start a new game together in which case
player 1 will select the speed.
=================================
| Other Things You Need to Know |
=================================
---Meters:
Below the life bars at the top of the screen there is a meter that increases
when you are hit, perform certain attacks, or block an incoming attack. This
is the Infinity Meter. It can hold three levels of Infinity energy. One level
of Infinity energy is used up when you perform an Infinity Special or perform
an Infinity Counter.
---Infinity Specials:
Rotating the joystick rapidly and tapping all the buttons rapidly while
performing some Infinity Specials will cause the move to do more damage and
more hits.
If you finish your opponent with an Infinity Special then you'll see the name
of the Infinity Special printed across the screen.
Most Infinity Special fall into one of the following categories:
Beam - the character produces a solid beam of energy from their hands, a
cannon, or something else and the energy travels across the screen. Beams
cancel all special move projectiles, all multiple projectile Infinity Specials,
and most any other attack. The first hit of the beam causes a set amount of
damage and each hit after the first causes a small bit more. If a character
jumps and falls into a beam that has already been activated then they will take
the same amount of damage from the first connecting hit as if they were hit
when the beam first started and each hit afterwards does a little more damage.
You can add extra hits to most beams for a little more damage per hit. (Ex. -
Proton Cannon)
Multiple Projectiles - the character launches several projectiles at the
opponent. The projectiles can come from the character's hand, from out of the
air, or from some other place. Each projectile in the attack does the same
amount of damage when connecting or the same amount of block damage when
blocked. You can sometime add extra hits that cause the same amount of damage
as the others. (Ex. - Armageddon)
Auto Combo - the character charges or runs at the opponent with an attack.
If the first hit connects then the rest of the auto combo will connect. If the
first hit is blocked then the move stops and only one hit of block damage is
caused. You cannot add extra hits to an auto combo. (Ex. - Weapon X)
Advancing/Rushing/Charging - the character moves toward the opponent in some
way while attacking multiple times. These Infinity Specials can consist of a
character running forward while performing a combo, charging forward while
hitting with a fist, or performing the same move several times in a row while
moving forward. Like beams, these attacks cause a set amount of damage in the
first hit that connects and a little more damage with each hit after the first.
You can add extra hits to most of these attacks for a little more damage per
hit. (Ex. - Headcrush)
Rising - the character rises straight into the air and does not stop until
reaching the top of the stage. These attacks are basically vertical version of
an advancing/rising/charging attack. Each hit of these attacks cause the same
amount of damage. The opponent will be lifted into the air once hit and will
continue to rise into the air being hit all the while. You can add extra hits
that cause the same amount of damage as the others. (Ex. - Psi-Maelstorm)
Wave - the character produces a "wave" from the ground that travels from it's
point of origin to a wall. The wave consists of something rising up from the
ground a certain distance that causes the opponent to fall backwards when hit.
Something again rises up from the ground a little farther from the first hit
and knocks the opponent back more. This continues until the opponent is hit
against a wall. Each hit causes the same amount of damage. The total damage
of these attacks depend upon how far the opponent "rides" the wave to a wall.
(Ex. - Magnetic Shockwave)
Super Grab - the character grabs at the opponent while standing in one place
or after walking forward some. In some cases the character glows and for the
next few seconds you can control their movement and attempt to grab the
opponent with a basic attack. Once the opponent is grabed, the move takes on
the properties of an auto combo. A preset sequence of slams or throws occurs
and the opponent is damaged by each hit. You can't add extra hits just like
with an auto combo. (Ex. - Chaos Dimension)
Super Version - the character performs a "super" version of one of their
special moves. The attack resembles the corresponding special move but hits
more times, causes more damage, and moves farther forward or higher up. (Ex. -
Photon Array)
The descriptions of the Infinity Specials in the moves section below will tell
you what type of attack it is. However, there are some that don't fit one of
these descriptions and are explained a bit more below.
---Throws:
Throws are unblockable. They can still be Tech Hit so that you take less
damage and don't fall helplessly to the ground.
Note: throws that are character specific special moves are blockable and
cannot be Tech Hit unless otherwise noted.
Throws that have your character grab the opponent and repeatedly hit them can
cause more damage, more hits, and be sped up by shaking the joystick rapidly
and tapping all the buttons rapidly. If you are caught by one of these throws
then you may shake the joystick rapidly and tap all the buttons rapidly to
escape the throw sooner and take less damage.
---Stunning:
If your character becomes stunned (stands on screen while you have no control
over them) from taking too many hits or from getting hit with a move that
instantly stuns (stun) then you may shake the joystick rapidly and tap all the
buttons rapidly to recover from the stun quickly.
---Dash Attacks:
If you use any basic attack while using Dashing Forward then you will continue
to slide along the ground as your attack connects. This allows you to combo
the dashing attack into another move with a greater chance of them connecting.
You are normally pushed away from your opponent after hitting them with an
attack but the extra forward momentum with this tactic causes you to stay very
close to them.
Note: characters that Dash Forward too slowly can't use this tactic.
---Taunts:
Some taunts actually cause damage to your opponent. Some can also knock Gems
from a close opponent.
---Gems:
Hitting your opponent with a special move or an Infinity Special will cause
them to release one random Gem that they currently have in their possession.
Also, a random Gem will be thrown toward the character that gets the "First
Attack" in a match or when a character is put in the "Danger" zone.
Pick up Gems by moving over them while they are on the ground or touch them
while they are flying through the air.
At the bottom of the screen is a row of the Gems you currently have in your
possession. Press ST (SL on PlayStation; L+R on Saturn) to cycle through the
Gems. The largest Gem with it's name printed across it is the Gem currently
selected; that Gem will be activated if you perform QCB+3P.
When activating an Infinity Gem, your character will be surrounded by a quick
burst of energy that will hit your opponent and send them flying across the
screen.
Once a Gem has been activated, a timer will appear in place of your list of
Gems indicating how much time you have left to use the Gem's powers. The timer
runs down faster when you are hit and it runs down a little slower if you
successfully hit your opponent.
If you have a Gem in your possession and you don't use it in one round then it
will still be in your possession for the next round. You will also carry over
unused Gems from match to match.
When you fight the final boss Thanos, he will take all of your Gems at the
beginning of the match and he will start the match with all six Gems in his
possession.
---Aerial Raves:
Every character has a move called a "launcher." These moves will send an
opponent straight into the air unable to block if they connect. After
launching an opponent, tap U to jump up with them and perform an "aerial rave"
(air combo) by hitting the buttons in a certain sequence.
Note that your opponent regains control while falling from a launcher so you
must attack while they are flying upward for an aerial rave to connect.
You may perform the combo: WP, WK, MP, MK, HP, HK (HP often knocks opponent
down so HK will not often connect) with any character for an aerial rave. You
can skip certain buttons if you wish but you must follow this pattern. For
example: WP, MP, HP is a valid combo but WK, WP will not work nor will MP, WK.
Instead of hitting the last button in the series, you can use a special move or
Infinity Special to knock the opponent to the ground if you can use the move in
the air and if the move is fast enough.
---Block Damage:
Most special moves and Infinity Specials will cause your opponent to take a
little bit of damage if they block. Some characters have normal attacks that
will cause block damage as well.
It is possible to finish an opponent with block damage. If you do finish an
opponent this way then you will get a "cheese" victory. A "cheese" win is
signified by a wedge of cheese under your Infinity Meter.
---Projectiles:
When two projectiles meet they cancel each other. The button used to throw a
projectile doesn't matter when projectiles hit each other; a projectile thrown
with QCF+WP will cancel a projectile thrown with QCF+HP.
Infinity Specials that create projectiles or beams of energy will also cancel
special move projectiles and continue to travel across the screen. Some other
special moves and Infinity Specials will cancel projectiles.
---Attack Strength:
As with all Capcom 6-button fighting games, the strength of the button used to
attack or to initiate a special move will determine the amount of damage the
attack will do, the speed of the attack, the amount of recovery time from
performing the attack, and the distance the attack travels. The stronger the
button the more damage the attack will do and so on. A Jab punch does little
damage, is very quick, recovers instantly, and has little range, whereas a
Fierce punch does much more damage, is very slow, takes a long while to
recover, and has a long range. The same is true for a fireball thrown with a
QCF+WP or QCF+HP.
---Super and Hyper Armor:
Characters that have Super Armor take very little damage and can interrupt some
combos. It takes two hits for an opponent to interrupt attacks from characters
with Super Armor. WP's and WK's will damage but not move these characters or
set them up for combos. You can only launch these characters if you hit them
once and combo into the launcher. Basic moves that knock an opponent down must
also be comboed to knock down one of these characters. Moves that instantly
stun an opponent (stun) will only stun a Super Armor character if you combo the
move. Also, Spider-Man's Web Throw will only throw these characters if you
combo the move. Characters gain Super Armor when using the Space Gem.
If a character with natural Super Armor uses a Space Gem then they will gain
Hyper Armor. In this state the character cannot be knocked down, cannot be
launched, can interrupt a combo at any time, cannot have attacks interrupted,
cannot be stunned, and cannot be hit by auto combo Infinity Specials.
---Bosses:
The next to last opponent you will face (sub-boss) is Dr. Doom. The final Boss
of the game is Thanos.
When you begin your battle with Thanos, he will take possession of all six Gems
leaving with with none if you had any. The only way to knock a Gem from his
possession if to hit him with an Infinity Special.
For more information on the bosses, see their moves lists below.
If you wish to play as the bosses, see the "Tricks and Codes" section below.
