I bet you consider throws in Street Fighter 2 cheap, too.

Considering how hard some of those infinite combos are, I wouldn't call them cheap. Hell, I wouldn't call anything in any game cheap unless it was proven to break the game completely. It's in the nature of competitive gaming...everything is fair game unless the entire games degenerates into one tactic that has no counter.

Infinites in MvC2 requires setup and perfect execution. Trying to set it up leaves you open, making it risky to even try, and one screw up will end the combo. It's not cheap since most players don't rely on those tactics to win all the time and prefer to use a more stable strategy than go for shenanigans and constantly getting punished for it.

However, Variable Cancel in Soul Caliber 3 was far and away the best tactic in the game, allowing for 0-death combos from a single hit, and it was EASY to do. Certifiably broken and the main reason no one plays SCIII anymore.
