Gameplay
The game features gameplay mechanics from both the BlazBlue and Guilty Gear series. Mechanics from BlazBlue include Overdrive, Rapid Cancel, Barrier Block, and Crush Trigger. Mechanics from Guilty Gear include Instant Kill and Slashback. Much of their mechanics supersede the many of the mechanics from the Marvel vs. Capcom series, such as Hyper Combos and Air Combos.

 * The Duo Team Attack returns from the original Marvel vs. Capcom. To perform a Duo Team attack, press S+E (6S+E or 4S+E if the player has 3 characters). If the player has 3 characters, 6S+E will summon Assist Character A and 4S+E will summon Assist Character B.
