Though the use of the Stones in Marvel vs Capcom Infinite isn't made clear, it's possible that the Power Stone could provide an increase in damage while the Time Stone can boost the speed of the character using it. Players shouldn't forget that there are also other Infinity Stones in the lore like the Mind Stone, Reality Stone, Space Stone, and Soul Stone; though it hasn't been announced, it's possible that all artifacts can make their way into the game.

Speaking of the Infinity Stones, some speculate that with their inclusion in the game, it's possible that Marvel villain Thanos will also be making an appearance in "Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite." Thanos has been a playable character back in "Marvel vs. Capcom 2" for the PS2, and with his upcoming appearance in "Avengers: Infinity War," it's possible that the developers will want to bring him back in the fray.

No official release date has been announced for "Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite," but fans are sure to expect the game to come out sometime in 2017.
