Not sure if this is well known or not but you can chain the Soul Super right after the Power Super as long as your not a full screen length away. Works well when you switch in and hit them, use Power to catch them before they are low enough to roll out then Soul as soon as its done. Not game breaking but a nice way to get in some good damage and recover some life if needed.
It may also work with his Reality Super but I’m not sure if the whole thing will hit them.
Also if you just need chip damage you can chain his Power special with another Power special making a chain of them for how ever many Hypers you have. The ones after the first aren’t guarenteed to hit but they come fast enough where the opponent will have no choice but to eat it or block it. Good if you got like Max Power and just wanna do some good chip to their last person.
that while thanos stays in the pose for a million years… the screen remains blue as well… and you can DHC well after soul has connected… wait for them to be at wtver height you like before you do so… i think you can DHC at any point before they hit the ground.
works anywhere… or should… just do the titan crush xx space cancel really fast… basicly no prebuffering allowed for the cancel… gotta hit confirm and XX a nano sec later.
>>Update<<
Just tested for you to make sure… yes works fine outside the corner.
Just an FYI in the event you guys didnt know,you can power 4 times into a soul OTG or cornered,great for beasting out an assist if they timed it poorly.
ha ha ha double super combo, there is alot of better combos if u look earlier in this page.
if your good u can get a bubble trap after the first super, then find out thanos can kill anyone in the game.
There are only a couple characters that the bubble inf works on outside the corner… otherwise you’d be fully correct… and even so… if you had bubble inf going… no reason you couldn’t finish it in one of the above for a likely 100%…
problem is consistently getting the opponent to the corner with thanos (unlikely) and of course the lack people that it will work on outside the corner…
With thanos u never have to force anyone in the corner they just go there. Alot of people just sit back with their anti-air assist and try to chip to death. Most of these people are front runners (use only top tier and blow), corner combos are not for everytime use. If you get a guard break then bubble trap that next character should be easily dead. Im not just talking about the infinite either.
Damn, do I wish more people would play Thanos! If you land the bubble infinite in the corner and/or pull off a Power>Soul kill, wait for the new character about to drop, j. Hp, land, call Psylocke AA>Space>laugh.
Since I usually play him in team Teaspoon (TSP=Thanos, Storm, Psylocke), I can pull a Space off a falling opponent hit by any air combo ending in Lightning Storm or Butterflies. I also love to erase overused projectile assists (Sent comes to mind) with Reality and DHC to Hailstorm.
On topic though, I have two favorite, albeit weird uses for the double super -
After Soul connects, wait till it’s just about to throw the enemy away, then DHC to Juggernaut’s Head Crush for full 8-hit mashable nonsense, or call in War Machine’s Star Destroyer and DHC that further into Jin’s Blodia Vulcan.
i’ll share this hidden combo that no one knows about, because they dont play him enough.
in the corner or near. d.c.short>c.fierce^ j.jab>j.titan crush> D+roundhouse (otg)xxgauntlet spacexx.
after this combo almost any damage is possible then cancel out in any special you want. i like to cancel out in to ironman’s proton cannon. if you get this combo u also can do gauntlet power for some more creative combos involving character assists. the thing i like to do just get a bubble trap and do a gauntlet space “big damage.” before that gauntlet space combo u can make sure it’s death by adding a assist bubble trap combo before hand, then just push him in the corner. u can do this by the infinite, or just running at him and getting near the corner.
Someone should make a thread of all the basic stuff 4 thanos even if the character lacks a decent move list that way everyone who picks him will have something 2 start with and more info can be added as we learn more with him (even thou the game as been out ten years already). Reason i say this is cuz i found something no one as said yet (even thou not much as been said 2 begin with) and it’s the fact that u can do a launcher after his super. Reason i believe launcher after super is something someone should have said is because it can lead 2 mix-up and a very very good match beginning combo which does more than 50% hp with 1 super. Also i have been trying 2 air-grab and after trying 2 air-grab with thanos 4 like 5 mins i said 2 myself “Dam is there a dam thanos thread with info on what he as and doesn’t have”.
BTW i use thanos, blackheart and dr.doom (i don’t want 2 change this team 4 nothing i will make them work) if anyone has any tips hit me up.
after 10 years we would think that u know something. doing the basics is just going backwards. maybe after a couple of months you should come back. i said many times psylocke is the best support for thanos.
Weird how you believe a thread based on the basic info of a character seems pointless when in almost all the other threads they have it. Yea the game as been out for ten years but that doesn’t mean new people aren’t gonna want 2 pick the game up and don’t you want a community of players giving info 2 each other so we can bring the best out of a character and game itself? Look at the other threads for other characters (i’m sure u have already because you have 2 pick 3 character in the game) threads reason why u even go into them is cuz there are people there helping each other out but here wtf we got… 2 threads…double super and launcher assist.
Thanos is my favorite character in the game and 2 see no one is really trying 2 push people into using him is just sad. Think about how a person would look at this thanos thread"Hmm 2 dam topics called double super and launcher assist umm let me check them out(after 15 mins) Umm yea i might as well just use someone else it seems no one really knows 2 much with him and the game as been out for ten years. He must just sux.Take that same person into the blackheart thread"Oh dam they have mad info on this character and u can see how passionate they r about the character dudes name is blackheartking".
There isn’t a great deal of thanos info here… but that being said… something like a basic moves list and breakdown can be found a www.gamefaqs.com… nothing special tho.
Lots of people like thanos… but unfortunately… they all know about his major weaknesses (having no real way to get across the screen and attack sent)… being basically the most combo prone toon in the game (sure… there are other characters as big and even slower… but at least they get super armor and a lot more stamina.)
Lastly thanos can’t stop runaway storm or doom for shit… no air hyper, no air throw, no air projectiles, and no air dash… how do you catch a good storm? You don’t… at least not with regularity.
All this being said I love playing thanos in casuals or friendlies…
Don’t compare thanos to blackheart… BH is a lot more powerful in most peoples eyes… and b/c of that… gets more attention/more adoring fans… trust me… many of us really like and really know thanos… we just really know his limits also.
There are some really advanced combos for thanos…using assists… wolvie being the best imho… wolvie has like 1/2 dozen ways to combo them into thanos bubble trap (one of the ways sets up wolvie’s speed up inf) check out the logans run thread under wolvie. There are options in there to bubble trap outta standard ground combo, air throw, and OTG… if you like wolvie anyways.
Thanos is a sleeper in Mvc2. He’s kinda slow, but has very,very powerful moves. Thanos can do a lot of damage, and can be trained to be a decent adversary. Most of his supers have bad lag time, so you have to know when to use em, or you’ll eat it. His fireball is a great simple attack, that takes a lot of damage, and other supers can be done after it. To do the fireball, just jab/ super, that easy… But the other super, where he brings the concrete wall up, can be jabbed into as well. Either they’ll launch up, or they’ll fall towards you. Im not sure how to make them fall towards you, I think you have to hit them at a certain spot. Tip: With Thanos/Storm, do his fireball super, then cancel into hailstorm. Just crch.hp, then fireball. It wont connect, but Storms hailstorm will. The fireball will go to the top of the screen, while the hailstorm is still connecting. The fireball follows its target, so it will go vertically, diagonal or horizontal. Once it hits at the top, try to hailstorm again. This can be done with Thanos/Gambit as well. Also, his rushdown knee is effective, but assist with it. Launch them up, then cross em’ up with it, and then try his concrete super. If it doesnt connect cancel into Storms hail. Hes slow, but hes a bad-ass that I like intimidating people with. They know if youre playing with him, you must have skills. He has a bubble infinite, but its too cheesy for me. He has a bad-ass corner combo as well…I believe its crch. lp, hp, lp,lk,lp,lk, spear. While theyre falling, knee em’ and then do his rock super. IT CONNECTS, THEY CANT ESCAPE IT!!! There are several ways to do this, but this is a guarantee connection.
