It's a silly debate... infinites do not make a character better or worse in a lineup. That's the same as saying that since Sakura & Dan in MvC2 have infinites, if you focus your strategies on this you will also win 9 times out of 10. Or saying that if you focus on Kevin Ryan's infinite in MOTW that you will win the majority of your matches.
It really makes no sense... maybe you're able to do so, but others aren't. Besides, most infinites are considered "questionable" gameplay, and are banned in most tournaments. Why practice something that you wouldn't even want to use in regular competition?

Perhaps I shouldn't intrude, but... I do believe the subject was finishing Samurai Shodown II on Level-8 difficulty? i.e. against the CPU. Why are you bringing up Vs. play and tournaments? It has nothing to do with how cheap a character is in Vs. play, it's about using an infinite to exploit the AI.
