Trivia[]

  • If Captain America is his partner, then both characters can perform the Level 3 "Unyielding Justice" Hyper Combo in unison, an Easter Egg which presents the bond between Bucky and Steve.
    • This Hyper Combo mechanic was originally featured in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, in which a few characters (such as Batsu and Joe the Condor) perform Hyper Combos which enable their partner to attack alongside them.
    • A similar mechanic was also seen in X-Men vs. Street Fighter and Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter, where Ryu and Ken could perform a Double Shinku Hadoken if they were chosen as a team.
    • This is also the first team-up Hyper Combo to be featured as part of the Dec. 5 patch for Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite.
  • In Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite, if Winter Soldier is about to fight Spider-Man, Spider-Man will say "Is that a cybernetic arm?" This is a possible reference to when Bucky and Spidey first met each other in Captain America: Civil War.
