Yea man I have been preaching this im trying to find a way to use fully charged Mighty Strikes more often seeing as far as I can tell there pretty much invincible vs everything but supers. Ive plowed through chris’s flamethrower move and even hulks Gamma wave its pretty nuts. BTW plowing through the gamma wave just looks cool as all hell. I think im coming into my own with thor the only problem im still having is figuring out the priority on grabbing someone in the air with the Mighty Hurricane trying to figure out what it beats and what it does not. Think im going to stop trying to use the L and M version and only do the H version of the move.
To Vik,
Personally on that note I think you should only use the H version if you are a master at the Kara or on a serious whiff, I think the range increase is worth the damage reduced on the grab, you just have to be so close for the H to grab.
Yeah I’m seriously happy with how well Thor and Hulk work together, despite them being the slower members of the cast. When used correctly, they can be very hard to stop.
Ive actually taken to using air m.Mighty Strike as kind of a ghetto version of Cammy’s Cannon Strike, as you can use it to pressure people when timed correctly with an assist. I leap back quickly and knock it out, and it catches alot of people who try to throw something out at me. It combos easily into a launcher too, which is nice. My only problem is my execution, as I have a tendency to drop it about 25-30% of the time, and I’m also trying to be able to TK the ground “L” version, but the timing is really strange and I can’t seem to get it. But, I feel that too is important for Thor’s ground game, since the recovery on the ground one is pretty bad, where as it recovers nearly instant in the air. And really, Thor is at his most vulnerable at ground level.
Also, I’ve found that air “H” is actually a really really good tool against grounded opponents, simply because not only does it cancel into Mighty Strike (yay!), but also because of Thor’s pose he is actually less vulnerable from below and it catches people off guard quite a bit.
I found out my prob with thor was I was trying to play him online.
I dont understand what you mean by this I play thor online in every match and my record is very nice.
@Rock thanks but what I meant is when someone tries to jump in and hit me Ive been trying to jump and nab them before they can kick/punch or whatever they try to do. For this the H version has been working better for me Im guessing because of the minimal frame start up.
o i c like a preemptive strike maybe I will try that. I have just been using Hulk assist as soon as someone jumps in on me,.
I won’t have the time to play with it for a couple days, but the thought struck me that it might be interesting to try tiger knee’ing H Mighty Hurricane against jump-ins. Since it’s only one frame and you wind up holding back at the end of the motion, it should be fairly safe if your execution is good.
Edit: And since you end in the air where Mighty Punish can’t activate, if you piano the input from HCB+H to L+M right afterwards, you could probably do a kind of option-select between the grab and advancing guard.
I’ll try it tonight.
I’ve been playing player matches with him today. He doesn’t feel as slow to me anymore with the tridashing in with s. I did land a kara throw when I wanted to land mighty punish.
I still got to practice my Magneto and Storm though =\
NissanZaxima is putting up a Best of 5 between me and him on Youtube.
Spoiler Alert, we both use Wesker and Thor.
Oooo… please do link us when it’s ready.
I also use Wesker and Thor. I love both the characters (My favorite from both camps) and they really do compliment each other well.
Looking forward to those vids!

Game 3 through 5. Before anyone says anything, yes, I’ll put them all in one post, but that’s going in the OP of the Video Thread.
Thanks for putting those up. I’m glad you guys did. If I learned anything (and this isn’t meant as a jab, since I know as well as anyone how tough Thor is to play), it’s some of the things I should be working on to deal with faster characters like Wesker and keepaway like Dorm.
That… and that Tron’s assist is awesome… too bad I don’t like her as a playable character.
I have two people that I play with alot that have very aggressive style and quick characters, to me that is where the gtfo me assist is good to have, also once you get used to the speed it starts to seem slower.
I finally met my first Thor online last night , and we both sent a message saying it was nice to see another Thor player, he was better than me also.
If anyone wants to have some matches for practice or fun I am on PSN and my tag is Audible_Fury
Saitsu & Nissan thanks for the vids. Nice to see actual game play as opposed to combo/setup vids (although those are nice too). Rock Lee I’ll add you next time I’m on PSN. I’ve seen like one Thor on PSN, ever.
