Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite is considered the black sheep of the series, primarily due to its art direction, which marked a complete departure from the comic book-style presentation that had been a staple of the franchise since 1996. Now, thanks to the efforts of renowned FGC streamer Maximilian Dood and 40 die-hard Marvel vs. Capcom fans, Marvel vs Capcom Infinite has been overhauled with a massive mod that features all new visuals, game modes, music, and balancing. Here is how you can install the Marvel vs Capcom Infinite & Beyond mod on PC.
