Space Stone allows the player to switch their place in the brackets in a Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite Tournament

The recently announced Battle for the Stones has generated quite some interest in the FGC. First of all, the tournament is the first big tournament announced for the newly released Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite. But what has peaked people’s interest in the tournament is the addition of being able to use the Infinity Stones during the tournament.

The owner of the Space Stone going into the event is SackTap, who placed second in the SoCal Regionals 2017.

The winner of the tournament, SPY|Filipino Champ, did not receive the Space Stone because he was directly invited to the Battle of the Stones tournament and cannot obtain an Infinity Stone because of that.

You can watch the official trailer below.

Further Thoughts on the Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite Roster

Yes, I realize that there has been a lot of talk about the Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite roster these past few weeks heading up to the game’s September 19th release this year. I do not really want to beat a dead horse at this point, but the roster for this game just really irks me. But, at the same time, I feel like there are certain factors that came into play when creating the game that many people did not notice or just decided to ignore. I am not giving Capcom an excuse, but there may be some slack that Capcom has yet to reap from its fans.

I will also be specifically only talking about things in regards to the roster of the game. I will not be mentioning the new story or gameplay mechanics in Infinite.

After this, I will not be making any more posts specifically regarding the roster for the upcoming fighting game unless something significant changes it.
