A new patch for Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite will be available from December 5. This update includes a huge list of fighter tweaks, as well as balance changes to the Infinity Stones.

– Made it easier for players ranked 5th 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.
