== Changing Roles ==
So as mentioned before, whenever a match starts, the characters will be in one of the three roles mentioned.  And as said earlier, the roles will switch constantly throughout the game.  But what actions, exactly, cause the orders to change?  And how do the roles switch when these actions occur?
<br><br>
== Character Swapping ==
There is really only one re-ordering method that occurs in Marvel Vs. Capcom 3: Character Swapping.  For the following examples, let's say you have this team:
 
# Wolverine (Point Character)
# Ryu (Assist Character 1)
# Captain America (Assist Character 2)
<br>
Whenever Character Swapping occurs, your Point Character will directly swap positions with one of the Assist Characters.
<br><br>
So let's say, with Wolverine at point, you perform a Cross-Over Attack with Ryu, your Assist Character 1.  That means Wolverine will exit the game and become Assist Character 1 and Ryu will jump in and become Point Character.  So your team will now look like:
 
# Ryu (Point Character)
# Wolverine (Assist Character 1)
# Captain America (Assist Character 2)
<br>
Or instead of that, let's say your opponent performs a Snap Back on Wolverine and chooses to pull in Captain America.  Wolverine will now become Assist Character 2 when Captain America comes in as the Point Character so your team now looks like:
 
# Captain America (Point Character)
# Ryu (Assist Character 1)
# Wolverine (Assist Character 2)
<br>
 
== Delayed Hyper Combos and Aerial Exchanges ==
Interestingly enough, no matter what method you use to change characters, Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 only uses Character Swapping. If you DHC from Wolverine to Ryu with the example team above, Wolverine and Ryu will just swap positions.  Even when you DHC into the third character, Ryu and Captain America will just swap positions, leaving Wolverine as Assist Character 1. 
<br><br>
This same technique is used even when performing Aerial Exchanges.  The first Aerial Exchange will swap the Point Character (Wolverine) and Assist Character 1 (Ryu), but the second Aerial Exchange will swap the new Point Character (Ryu) with Assist Character 2 (Captain America).
<br><br>
What makes the order changes in Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 interesting is that, as long as you perform only one DHC or one Aerial Exchange at a time, you'll continue swapping back and forth between two characters.  Assist Character 2 will never rotate up into Assist Character 1's slot!  This means that if your Assist Character 2 was chosen specifically to be an Assist and you are not fond of using that character as a Point Character, it's fairly easy to prevent ever using Assist Character 2 as a Point Character.  Just continually DHC and Aerial Exchange between the first two characters on your team and, unless the opponent K.O.'s both characters or snaps in Assist Character 2 with a Snap Back, you can almost entirely avoid using Assist Character 2 as a Point Character.
<br>
 
== Character K.O. ==
Even when a character is defeated, only Character Swapping takes place.  So let's say Wolverine gets defeated as the Point Character.  Ryu will actually swap in and replace Wolverine and Wolverine will swap into Assist Character 1's slot.  Captain America will remain as Assist Character 2 even though there technically is no more Assist Character 1!  So your team will look like:
 
# Ryu (Point Character)
# Wolverine (''K.O.'ed'')
# Captain America (Assist Character 2)
<br>
That means you actually have no one in the Assist Character 1 role.  Even if, in the original team order, Ryu is called in via Cross-Over Assist and is defeated as an Assist Character, no re-ordering will take place and Captain America remains as Assist Character 2.  So your team would look like:
 
# Wolverine (Point Character)
# Ryu (''K.O.'ed'')
# Captain America (Assist Character 2)
<br>
In MvC2, if a character was defeated, the defeated character would always take Assist Character 2's position and everyone else would move up.  This is no longer the case so players who come from an MvC2 background will have to grow accustomed to this change.
<br><br>
== Ways to Change Order ==
Here is a list of the actions that can cause your team's order to change:
 
* Performing a [[Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3/Game Mechanics/Assist Actions#Cross-Over Attacks  | Cross-Over Attack]]
* Performing a [[Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3/Game Mechanics/Assist Actions#Cross-Over Counters  | Cross-Over Counter]]
* Performing a [[Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3/Game Mechanics/Hyper Meter Attacks#Delayed Hyper Combos  | Delayed Hyper Combo]]
* Performing an [[Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3/Game Mechanics/Air Combos#Aerial Exchange | Aerial Exchange]]
* Getting your Point Character Snapped Out by a [[Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3/Game Mechanics/Assist Actions#Snap Backs | Snap Back]]
* Having your Point Character get K.O.'ed.
