Story

Sir Arthur, ruler of the Britons, is the same Arthur of Arthurian Legend, but in a cartoonier form, hailing from Capcom's blisteringly difficult Ghosts 'n' Goblins series, also known as Makaimura in Japan. His quest is to rescue the fair Princess (known variously as Prin-Prin, Guinevere, or just "Princess") of his realm from the clutches of the evil overlord of the Demon Realm, Astaroth. Along the way, he'll make stout, commital leaps over treacherous terrain, as well as acquire an arsenal of various weapons, armors, and magic spells, many of which he has brought to battle in Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite.

Gameplay

Arthur is a low-mobility zoner with a large variety of projectiles at his disposal. With the ability to jump cancel his attacks he can cancel one air special into another in the air for oppressive screen control and lockdown. Arthur struggles to escape pressure however due to extremely low mobility and lack of a meterless reversal.

Unique Trait

Jump Cancel: Arthur can jump cancel his special moves while in the air and chain multiple attacks together. While the applications in combos are certainly there, this gives him access to some very devastating projectile lock down.

Specials

Dagger Toss	Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On Hit	On Block	Properties
	300*3/360*3	Mid	9	41	0	-17	-16	, , Double Jump Cancelable
	Second Set of damage is for Golden Armor Arthur throws out daggers. Repeated presses of the button will throw out two more daggers. The timing between button presses is lenient so the timing between each dagger toss can be changed based on your inputs. In Golden Armor it pierces the opponent, letting it hit them and their partner, and it can't be reflected.

Lance Toss	Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On Hit	On Block	Properties
	500*2/1200	Mid	12	53	0	-8	-13	, , Double Jump Cancelable
	Second Set of damage is for Golden Armor Arthur throws out lances. Pressing the button a second time will throw out a second lance. The lance is slower and more damaging than the dagger. In Golden Armor it pierces the opponent, cannot be reflected and it can only throw out one lance instead of the usual two.

Scatter Crossbow	Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On Hit	On Block	Properties
	400*2/360*3	Mid	15	35	0	-4	-9	, Double Jump Cancelable
	Second Set of damage is for Golden Armor Arthur shoots two arrows diagonally upwards (diagonally downwards if done in the air). This is Arthur's main keep away tool and a great way to lockdown the opponent. In Golden Armor it cannot be reflected, the amount of arrows goes from two to three and it tracks the opponents location.

Fire Bottle Toss	Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On Hit	On Block	Properties
	700,150*6/600,96*10	Mid	20	33	0	-16	-11	, Double Jump Cancelable Restand
	(Bottle Damage,Fire Damage) Second Set of damage is for Golden Armor Arthur throws a bottle forward that hits the ground and then trails fire across the ground. If the opponent is hit with the bottle before it touches the ground then the flames will not spawn. Can be used for lockdown or for restanding due to its unique properties. In Golden Armor it pierces the opponent, travels further and hits higher and doesn't disappear even if the bottle hits the opponent. Loses the ability to restand during install however.

Scythe Toss	Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On Hit	On Block	Properties
	400*2/240*3+480	Mid	20	41	0	-1	-4	, Double Jump Cancelable
	Second Set of damage is for Golden Armor Arthur throws a scythe forwards that then boomerangs back to him. Tracks his location similar to Cross Sword Cannot be used again until it returns to Arthur and cannot be reflected either. In Golden Armor it hits more times and travels further.

Ax Toss	Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On Hit	On Block	Properties
	1200/120*20	Mid	20	38	0	-7	-12	, Double Jump Cancelable
	Second Set of damage is for Golden Armor Arthur throws an axe forward that moves slowly and has a big hitbox. Cannot be reflected and you cannot have two axes on screen at the same time from the same Arthur. Cannot be reflected. In Golden Armor it pierces the opponent, becomes a multi-hit and travels diagonally upwards before falling and performing its usual trajectory.

Heavenly Slash	Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On Hit	On Block	Properties
	1000/1200	Mid	7	8	32	+16	-21
	Second Set of damage is for Golden Armor Arthur swings his sword upward, sending his opponents into the sky when hit. In Golden Armor it gives a hard knockdown and traps the opponent into hitstun until they hit the ground letting it be used for combo extensions far better than its Norma counterpart.

Hellbound Slash	Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On Hit	On Block	Properties
	800+500/720*2	Mid	16	7(16)6	28	+49	-15	Ground Bounce
	Second Set of damage is for Golden Armor Arthur swings his sword upward and then swings it downward. This causes a small ground bounce comboed into a super, or converted off of by your partner.

Strategy

Stone Selection

Power

Power Stone can be used to give Arthur a Wall bounce attack or give him an anti-air since Arthur's tiny size means Power Stone is incredibly disjointed when used by him. Similar to every other character he appreciates the Storm for its damage boost and combo extending capabilities.

Time

The Time stone's surge can make up for Arthur's poor defense and poor mobility letting him escape pressure and move around the screen better than usual. Time Storm also lets you spam as many projectiles as you want making it pretty good for filling the screen. Generally considered his second best stone.

Reality

Can be used in zoning patterns to make it even harder than usual for the opponent to approach you. It's Storm can further enhance his zoning with the oppressive lockdown the fire pillar and lightning strike provide.

Soul

Soul surge can be used in zoning patterns either as a way to break armor or to simply fill the screen. Not as good for this purpose however as Reality Stone. In Soul Storm Arthur can use some of his laggier attacks to desync him and his partner and either zone in tandem with them or use his projectiles as a way to help them approach in Soul Storm.

Space

Space can be used to draw opponents into your projectiles or toss them overhead when they jump at you. This stone's storm is also helpful since it can give you opportunities to set up Golden Armor risk free, and it ensures the opponent can't pressure you up close while you're zoning. Like most zoners he makes great use of this stone. Often said to be his best stone.

Mind

Arthur is too slow to make effective use of this stone's surge. It’d Storm however can ensure that he gets Golden Armor as much as possible.
