Marvel VS Capcom: Infinite/Captain America

Captain America

Captain America is the superhero name of American soldier Steven Rogers, who, during World War II, signs up for the army to fight the Germans, but is found to be too frail and weak to be worth the army's time. He's chosen as a test subject for an experimental "Super Soldier" serum, which grants him super strength and endurance, and a special shield made of a cutting-edge indestructible metal known as Vibranium, allowing him to deflect any attack. He can throw this shield as a durable boomerang, which is the source of many of his best attacks in Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite.

Unique Trait

Vibranium Shield: Captain America's shield is his hallmark, acting as a boomerange-like projectile. He can throw it at a variety of angles, both going out and returning. He even packs a new shield-based counter move in this game to further emphasize it.

	Captain America poses for a counter. If triggered by the appropriate attacks, he'll respond with a quick shield bash that deals zero damage but leaves the opponent wide open for a follow-up. Both versions counter projectiles. LK counters all strikes where the opponent is grounded, regardless of how they must be guarded. HK counters all strikes where the opponent is airborne, regardless of how they must be guarded. This includes even the tiny amount of space off the ground characters like Ryu take when he does the grounded version of Tatsu; even ground Tatsu must be countered with HK counter due to him just barely being in the air. Unlike many counter-based moves, it does not trigger a cutscene, so if the opponent performs a move with invuln, or triggers the counter from afar, they could sail right past Cap unharmed or ignore him.
