« Back-turned unblockable setups discovered in MvCI »

A recently discovered exploit to the system of Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite is allowing players to create unblockable mixups.

First noticed in a tweet and video from cyberjapanagent, the method involves putting one's opponent in a back-turned standing state. Once this is achieved, the opponent simply cannot block low, allowing their opponent a free combo.

Since the original posting, some players have found several different ways to recreate the setup, including using the mind stone, and others are already calling on Capcom to patch the game.

While the exploit may seem a modern oversight, Jay "Viscant" Snyder posted that a similar issue with back-turned state existed in Marvel vs. Capcom 2, allowing Magneto to sometimes create an unblockable slide against bigger characters like Sentinel and Blackheart. That issue, however, was not as seemingly abusable as the MvCI variation.
