Marvel VS Capcom: Infinite/Spencer

Spencer

Spencer is, believe it or not, despite the visual redesign, the same Nathan Spencer from Capcom's NES classic platformer Bionic Commando (known in Japan as Top Secret). This version of Spencer hails, of course, from the 2009 Xbox 360 Bionic Commando sequel, which takes place 10 years after the original game. A government operative working for the Tactical Arms and Security Commission (T.A.S.C.), which trains soldiers in the use of bionic enhancements such as Spencer's. In his original adventure, he was seeking to defeat the military dictator "Master-D", some unspecified time after some unspecified World War.

Unique Trait

Zip-Line: Spencer sports a pseudo air dash with Zip-Line which allows him to fly around the screen at different angles on the ground or in the air. What makes Zip-Line especially good is that his movement doubles as an attack and many of his corner carry combos rely on this move.

	This sweep-like low strike knocks grounded opponents off their feet and back towards you, though not for very long.

Right Hook	Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On Hit	On Block	Properties
	800	High	25	3	21	+4	-2
	Spencer's overhead, and therefore one of his most important mix-up tools. You can link a 214LP (that's right, link, not cancel) after to try to pick up for a combo afterwards.

Head Smasher j.	Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On Hit	On Block	Properties
	700	High	10	4	22	-	-
	A downward-swinging punch that sends airborne opponents in an air combo towards the ground, but without the Ground Bounce & Hard Knockdown typically associated with such normals.

	Spencer's command grab. The LK version grabs grounded opponents, the HK version grabs airborne opponents. Although the knockdown lasts a good bit of time, Spencer's recovery animation is quite long. The only thing you can link after this is 2LP, but even then, the timing is tough. It's much easier to combo off of this with either a tag, Storm cancel, or hyper combo cancel (though you'll generally want to wait a bit for the opponent to fall some before doing this).
