Marvel VS Capcom: Infinite/Monster Hunter

Monster Hunter

The Monster Hunter is a bit of a unique type of character in this game's roster, not being a true character per se so much as a representative of a type of customizable blank-slate avatar you can play as in Capcom's creature-combatting Monster Hunter series. As such, she bears the duty of trying to representing a wide array of possibilities all in one package, as players in her home series can utilize a wide variety of weapons and armor that create significantly different playstyles and strategies. She puts one feature of her home series front and center, however: the big weapons needed for taking down big monsters.

In a nutshell
In Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite, Monster Hunter is an unusual beast of a middle-sized character who nonetheless packs absolutely enormous armored moves typically associated with big bodies that could make Hulk blush. Owing to her nature as a representative of Monster Hunter, she nonetheless also packs speedy attacks with her Dual Blades and approach options with her Dodge, as well as ranged attacks with her Bow that allow her to both have a long-range presence as well as set up setplay scenarios and tag opportunities.

Unique Trait

Dodge: Monster Hunter has access to a roll that can be canceled out of normals on hit, block or even whiff! She can also cancel the recovery frames of her specials into dodge. Ending combos into Demolisher Demon Dance will power her up into Demon mode and make her Dodges even faster with more invincibility.
