Witness the Power if the Stones

How will the Stone Bearers use these rule-bending powers?

  • Space Stone

    Control space itself and change your opponent

    The Space Stone allows the Stone Bearer to swap their position in the bracket, and face a different opponent! The position must be in an equal place in the tournament.

    Stone Bearer: Sacktap – Robert Capps

  • Soul Stone

    Resurrect your soul and grant yourself a second chance

    The Soul Stone allows the Stone Bearer to erase one of their losses in a 3 out of 5 set.

    Stone Bearer: Richard Nguyen

  • Time Stone

    Freeze time and stop an opponent’s Stone Bearer power for one match!

    The Time Stone allows the Stone Bearer to cease the flow of time, enabling them to negate the use of an opponent’s Stone Bearer power any time during the tournament for one match!

    Stone Bearer: Kazunoko – Ryota Inoue

  • Power Stone

    Harness your power to guarantee a life advantage

    The Power Stone allows for the Stone Bearer to land the first hit in a match, giving them a guaranteed life advantage over their opponent by executing the first combo of a match.

    Stone Bearer: Cloud805 – Jonathan Morales

  • Mind Stone

    Control your opponent’s mind and choose their team

    The Mind Stone allows the Stone Bearer to control their opponent’s mind by choosing both of their characters and Infinity Stone.

    Stone Bearer: Teemo – Luis Gomez

  • Reality Stone

    Manipulate reality by changing your opponent’s controls

    The Reality Stone grants the Stone Bearer the ability to alter reality by swapping three button functions in their opponent’s control configuration.

    Stone Bearer: Linj – Carlos Silva

Face front, True Believer and get ready to compete in Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite – Battle for the Stones, an epic competition taking place this December!

Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite – Battle for the Stones will see titanic forces collide as the seven EVO champions from the past and a new group of nine qualifiers fight in a competition unlike any you’ve witnessed before! As the name suggests, the Infinity Stones play a vital role in this clash against the EVO legends. On the road to the “Battle for the Stones,” there are six official Infinity Stone Tournaments all over the world that will each represent one of the Stones. Those who wield one of the Stones will gain a special tournament rule-bending power they can activate during the “Battle for the Stones” Finals in Anaheim, CA on December 9-10, 2017. Outside of these Infinity Stone Tournaments, there will also be three regional online qualifier tournaments (that do not feature Infinity Stones) for the EU, LATAM and NA regions, making the top 16.

Top 16 for the “Battle for the Stones” will comprise of:

  • Seven EVO champions
  • Six Infinity Stone bearers from Infinity Stone Tournaments around the world
  • Three online tournament winners

The winner of Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite – Battle for the Stones will be rewarded with a special one-of-a-kind trophy that represents the Battle for the Stones!

As previously mentioned, Infinity Stones will grant actual abilities that can be used outside of the typical “in-game” competition to give players an advantage over their opponent! Each Infinity Stone power will be revealed at its corresponding Infinity Stone Tournament. Be wary, for if you lose the fight with a Stone in hand, you’ll need to hand it over to the winner of the match and return to being a mere mortal.

With Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite releasing on September 19th, we wanted to showcase the game with a special exhibition series that reflected the otherworldly and compelling elements that Marvel vs. Capcom is known for. Check out the Capcom Unity website and @capcomfighters on Twitter as we countdown the weeks to the “Battle for the Stones” with player profiles, detailed breakdowns of the rules, and explanations of each of the six Infinity Stone Powers that the Stone Bearers will be able to use at the “Battle for the Stone” Finals.

Join us as we celebrate the launch of Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite with this one-time series that shows the world that RULES ARE NOT SET IN STONE!

Tournament Seeding

  • Infinity Stone Tournament winners will be seeded randomly against the Evo Champions
  • The remaining Evo Champion and Online Qualifying Tournament winners will be paired at random

Player Eligibility

All Tournaments are open to all individuals 13 years old and older as of March 1, 2017. All players at least 13 years old, but under the age of majority in the jurisdiction in which they live (a “Minor”) (i) must have the permission of a parent or legal guardian to register for and participate in a Tournament, and (ii) must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian at each Tournament in which he or she participates.

Infinity Stone Use

  • Infinity Stones only have special functions during the Battle for the Stones Finals.
  • Infinity Stone abilities will be revealed at each corresponding Infinity Stone Tournament.
  • All Infinity Stones can only be used one time per Stone Bearer, and then can no longer be used by that Stone Bearer for the rest of the tournament.
  • A player may not use two Infinity Stones during a single set. However, two Stone Bearers can use their stones during the same match or set.

Stone Duration

All Infinity Stones only last for one match out of a 3/5 set. The Stone Bearer can decide which match in the set they want to use the stone, as long as it takes place before the match begins.

Stone Acquisition

  • Infinity Stones can obtained initially by winning one of six Qualifying Tournaments.
  • During the Battle for the Stones Finals, if a Stone Bearer is defeated, the winner of that match now obtains their Infinity Stone, which can then be used once by the new Stone Bearer during the tournament.

Evo Champions may not win an Infinity Stone from a Qualifying Tournament

The Evo Champions have already ascended to beyond-omega power levels, they are not eligible to win a stone from a Qualifying Tournament. In the event they win an Infinity Stone Qualifying Tournament, the Infinity Stone will be passed to the next eligible player.

  • In the event that the next eligible player is a tie, the two tied players will play a 3/5 set to determine who wins the Infinity Stone and qualifies for the Battle for the Stones Finals.

No competitor may win multiple qualifying spots for the Battle for the Stones Finals

  • Players who have already qualified for the Battle for the Stones Finals may still enter Infinity Stone tournaments, or Online Qualifying Tournaments if they would like. However, they are not eligible to win multiple spots.
  • In the case that a single player wins multiple Infinity Stone tournaments, then they may choose which Infinity Stone they would like to bring into the Battle for the Stones Finals. The remaining Infinity Stone will go to the next eligible player.
  • Evo Champions may not enter the Battle for the Stones Finals with an Infinity Stone. However, if they defeat a Stone Bearer during the Battle for the Stones Finals, they acquire the Infinity Stone and may use it once throughout the Battle for the Stones Finals.
