The stone gauge is filled only by taking damage and having one of your characters be defeated. During battle, the player can freely use 'Infinity Surge', one of the abilities granted by the stone. Only one of the stones can be selected during character selection. Similar to Marvel Super Heroes, the Infinity Stones are six stones that grant various powers and abilities that may change the tide of battle. In place of the X-Factor, a new mechanic, Infinity Stones, is re-introduced to the series. Before the match begins, players can switch their two selected characters. Players can also sacrifice meter from their Hyper Combo Gauge to perform a 'Counter Switch', tagging-in their partner while the opponent is attacking them, providing the opportunity to counterattack and free the character trapped in the enemy's combo. It allows continuous combos between the two characters while on the ground or in the air.
Assist mechanics are removed, and are replaced by 'Active Switch', a free-form tag system similar to Street Fighter x Tekken. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes and earlier installments in the franchise. Capcom: Infinite features two-on-two partner battles, similar to Marvel vs.
