Marvel Tōkon's 'Level-Up Missions' turn combo trials into active combo-building lessons

Marvel Tōkon keeps traditional combo trials but adds five 'Level-Up Missions' per character that give objective conditions instead of step-by-step inputs. The missions require meeting specific constraints—such as starting or ending with a given string, including a particular move, or reaching a damage threshold—so players must build combos themselves. This design pushes players toward experimentation and practical understanding of a character's tools, improving retention compared with passive input memorization.

• Each character trial ends with five Level-Up Missions that present goals rather than exact inputs.
• Mission requirements include starting/ending with a specified string, using a particular move, or achieving a set damage amount during a combo.
• Basic combo trials with listed inputs still exist alongside the missions but often don’t translate into adaptable real-match play on their own.
• Level-Up Missions force players to construct and test combos themselves, promoting experimentation and better practical understanding of a character’s kit.
