SFA had dramatic mode so maybe that's what they're going for.

Been reading a lot of hate and inaccurate assumptions about the game. Trust me, it's legit. You are going to have so much fun labbing it.

In just the hour or so I got to play it, I saw stuff that blew my mind. I cannot wait to watch the tech develop, to see this in the wild.

Combo potential is unreal. Tag mid-combo in the air. Ground bounces. Tag mid-hyper. You. Can. Tag. During. A. Hyper.

Power Gem increases hit stun - new combo. Activate Time Gem - CUSTOM COMBO.

Activate Space Gem - opponent on lock down. As in they are in a box and can't break out. All they can do is block or die.

Use Space Gem, push or pull your enemy. Equip Space Gem with Thor? Yank them to you and grab them. And then tag in your ally mid-grab.

Activate Time Gem, you are literally A-groove Bison. Except imagine you could tag someone in during A-Bison activate.

Much like Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Infinite features four major attack buttons, although they’re two punches and two kicks rather than the non-specific “light, medium, heavy, special” of 3. The L button is reserved for the Infinity Stones, and the R button tags. But there’s more control simplification, including the slaughtering of a sacred cow that some would say was long overdue to be turned into sacred hamburger.

It’s a lot of fun to pull off a combo that sends one’s opponent up into the air in a Marvel game, and Infinite simplifies that little bit of joy—you can pull off a short ground-to-air combo (that ends with a super move, if the requisite meter is available) just by tapping light punch.

The developers are also playing around with replacing the shoryuken motion—the forward, down, down-forward move used to pull off Ryu’s iconic rising punch and other uppercut-style moves—with a double tap down on the D-pad. This removes one of the annoying barriers that keeps newbies from even executing basic moves; the typical uppercut input is much more difficult than, say, rolling the stick from down to right for a fireball.

Put enemies in a box to force them them to just sit and block? MvCI conversions for Mugen better take years to make.
