Marvel Vs. Capcom: Infinite Online And Offline Game Modes Detailed

Along with a new story trailer--which features the improved version of Chun-Li's face--Capcom has shared some new details about Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite. Perhaps to reassure fans who were upset with the limited numbers of modes in Street Fighter V at launch, the company has outlined Infinite's full suite of game modes.

While there's nothing Earth-shattering to be discovered, the list does highlight the many ways you'll be able to play Infinite offline and online. There's the Story mode that was featured in today's trailer, Versus modes for two players (or one player against the CPU), and Mission mode, which consists of tutorials and character-specific challenges. Online, there are ranked and casual modes, as well as the Beginners League that restricts players that are no higher than a certain rank. The full slate of announced modes follows below, along with Capcom's official descriptions for each.
