Summary

Sir Arthur is a protagonist from the Marvel vs. Capcom series. He is a legendary knight who ventured bravely into the demon world to rescue Princess Prin Prin/Guinevere, who was kidnapped by the evil fiends such as Satan and Astaroth for being the last living human with royal blood in Arthur's land. While best known for his dauntless courage in the face of terrifying monsters and life-threatening traps, Arthur also enjoys wearing strawberry-print boxer shorts and never fails to save his beloved princess all thanks to his pure devotion to her, being fearless in the face of evil and never running from a righteous cause, being declared a beacon of light and hope to all of his land's inhabitants.

He is one of the many heroes who assisted in the battle against Onslaught when Charles Xavier unconsciously summoned forth several heroes from Capcom's Universe, later fought alongside others to aid in the battle against Galactus, and joined the resistance to fight against Ultron-Sigma to stop him from merging the Marvel and Capcom universes.

Weaknesses: When the Golden Armor breaks down, Arthur will be left on his boxers and have his defense lowered. Arthur can only wield one Infinity Gem and equip up to three card effects at a time.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

  • Lance Thrust: Arthur thrusts his lance straight forward while in the air.
  • Double Jump: After the first jump, Arthur can perform a second jump mid-air, able to reach higher than other characters.

  • Ground Throw: Arthur grabs the opponent, then lifts them above his head with both hands and then throws them either forwards or backwards.
  • Air Throw: Arthur grabs the opponent mid-air, lifts them above and then tosses them straight downwards behind or in front of himself.

  • Dagger Toss: Arthur tosses a knife that flies quickly in a straight line, able to throw two other daggers right after that in a slightly upper trajectory. While using the Golden Armor, knives are much faster and stronger.
  • Lance Toss: Arthur throws his trademark lance straight forward. He can also toss the second lance in a slightly lower trajectory right after performing the move, able to increase their damage and priority when wearing the Golden Armor. In Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes, when summoned, Arthur throws three huge lances in a quick succession before jumping away.
  • Scatter Crossbow: Arthur pulls out a crossbow and fires out two arrows at the same time in a diagonally upwards or downwarads trajectory depending on if he's on the ground or in the air respectively. While using the Golden Armor, he will shoot three flaming arrows with homing properties.
  • Fire Bottle Toss: Arthur throws a bottle in an arc that breaks upon contact with a ground or an opponent, unleashing a blue flame that moves across the ground a short distance as it leaves the blaze trail. While using the Golden Armor, the move's damage is increased and does more hits.
  • Axe Toss: Arthur tosses a large, slow moving axe forward as it rotates in a spinning trajectory while flying. While using the Golden Armor, Arthur uses a smaller, golden axe that does more damage and flies faster in an upwards arc.

  • Shield Deflect: Arthur pulls out a shield in front of himself as he crouches down to hide behind it in a defensive stance. If an opponent tries to attack Arthur with a melee attack, he will push them back with his shield which leaves them in a stagger state. Can also neutralize projectiles.
  • Heavenly Slash: Arthur does a quick rising slash with his sword, sending an opponent flying into the air.
  • Hellbound Slash: After performing the Heavenly Slash, Arthur quickly slams the opponent back onto the ground by swinging his sword vertically downwards.

  • Golden Armor: Arthur raises his hands into the air as he envelops himself in a light aura to transform with the Emperor Armor, temporarily increasing his attack damage and defense for 20 seconds. After this, the armor will suddenly break down and send Arthur flying backwards, leaving him to fight on his boxers with reduced defense. He can use the Hyper Combo again to restore his silver armor.
  • For the Princess!: Arthur charges up magic from both of his hands and then starts using it to fill the battlefield with several huge explosions and summons a giant dragon made of blue flames, which travels around it for additional damage. During this Hyper Combo, Arthur is completely invulnerable.

  • Power Gem: Arthur can use the Power Gem to increase his attack damage for a short period of time. In Infinite, the Infinity Surge version grants him a powerful attack with increased pushback force.
  • Time Gem: Arthur can use the Time Gem to increase his movement speed for a brief time. In Infinite, the Infinity Surge version allows him to move a set distance forward or backwards in the form of an instant dash that goes through the opponent and their attacks.

In Infinite, the Infinity Surge version allows him to push the opponent forward or backwards, and the Infinity Storm version seals them in a large, square force cage which restricts their movement for a while.
  • Mind Gem: Arthur can use the Mind Gem to constantly refill his Hyper Combo gauge for a short period of time. In Infinite, the Infinity Surge version provides him a special throw attack which instantly stuns an opponent if hit.
