Control your opponent's mind... and their team

Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite has concluded at Canada Cup, and we just learned what the next Infinity Stone will do in Capcom's Battle of the Stones circuit.

The Mind Stone will allow you to "control your opponent's mind" by giving the holder the ability to choose their opponent's team as well as the Infinity Stone they use in game.

This is particularly powerful ability as it will force competitors to practice with fighters that they may otherwise be unfamiliar with. The best strategy here would be to pick characters that are considered to be "low tier" or just simply don't work well together.

It's extremely unlikely that a player would choose a character like Dormammu or Dante for the opponent as they are considered to be quite strong and common. Being familiar with some of the low tiers for this tournament might actually come in handy here.

Considering that Black Panther, Sigma, and Monster Hunter recently came out and are tournament legal, they are also good choices as players have no had too much time to explore them.
