X-Factor

X-Factor is a speed and damage boosting technique present in Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds and Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. It is traditionally activated by pressing all four attack buttons, L, M, H and S at the same time.

The duration of X-Factor varies with each character, and it becomes more powerful if the user has one or both of their partners KO'ed. These are known as Level 2 and Level 3 X-Factors respectively.

X-Factor can only be activated once per match, but has many uses, such as increase damage on attacks, cancel specific moves to extend combos or turn the tables when you are losing a match.
