However, throws cannot be blocked in any situation.

A jumping block will block everything and is the safest to do. This is not an easy thing to do because most players will frequently mix highs and lows to bypass your block. With the fast pace of MvC, you might have a hard time distinguishing when to block high and low. However, high attacks will still hit you and so you must block high by simply holding back. To block low, hold down-back (crouch and block), which prevents any low attacks. Attacks come in three forms: high, mid and low. I’m sure you already know to hold the back direction to block but if you’re unfamiliar with fighters, you might not understand how attacks are still getting through.

Blocking: This is such a simple thing to do and is the cornerstone of any player. Simple Mode maps certain special moves and Hyper combos to a single button but if you want to get better, you must turn this mode off immediately as it’ll only make you worse. And keep in mind that all information here is assuming you have Normal Mode enabled. That information is in the manual and the inputs for all special moves and Hyper combos are listed in the “Command List” section of the pause menu so check there if you’re unsure, although I’ll answer any questions you have in the comments. Although I am going to start with the basics, I’m going to assume you already know how to block, move, jump, how to do special moves (fireballs and such) and how your Hyper meter works. I have to say that although Capcom made many changes to the series to make it as accessible as possible, it’s still a very complex game to learn compared to FPS and action games so be prepared for a steep learning curve.
