FEEL HEAVEN'S WRATH: Thor Thread Reloaded

[ogrimtitan]

I dunno. I liked the Mighty Spark hyper cancels, and the idea to Mighty Smash over someone’s head then cancel into grab was kind of fun. I’m now also thinking about who I could pair Thor with that has a really long-lasting hyper for duo THCs.

Edit: Some thoughts on the THC issue:

1. Dormammu could use the Stalker Flare ball hyper then DHC to Thor for a whiffed Mighty Punish or a Mighty Thunder and then Thor could advance behind the ball.

2. I’d imagine a THC using Thunder and Gamma Crush would be good if the timing works right.

3. Hail Storm, Okami Shuffle, Chris’s Grenade Launcher (could be great on hit since they’re free to be juggled after), Morrigan’s missiles, Trish’s Round Harvest, either of Tron’s hypers, Akuma’s fireballs, or any of Hsien Ko’s hypers.

i’m picking up thor he’s toooooo cool man i love it - and he actually does really well with the captain assist. People don’t know how good that assist is, one of the best projectile assists in the game IMO. It’s like a really fast drone assist lol

We are getting in some serious training in then if you are picking up Thor whenever you decide to make it back over to the west side

Ehhhh… if im going to throw im usually always going to go Hurricane with Thor. This is a neat little trick but for me at least it isn’t very useful since I rarely backthrow with him.

…And then everyone decided to use Thor for his grounded normal forward/back throws.

[Gimpyfish62]

royalflush nissanzaxima fmross and the others repping thor keep it up - i’ve been working on my thor this evening and will keep at it until my avengers team isn’t just my secondary “for fun” team to my other team.

IMO Thor’s backthrow is better. I use it to land j.H to air M Strike to c.H to launch etc… and I used to think that was enough, but some characters like VJ, 0, and Wolverine are too small to get hit by j.H. I thought that was the semi-disappointing end to the story, until I figured you can connect j.M before j.H also AND still get to the launch.

Along with that, you don’t have to worry about people normal throwing you out of hurricane. I’d say in the air though, hurricane is the preferred throw since Thor’s normal air throw doesn’t give him anything else as far as I know.

Also impressive and braindead easy is backthrow, Mighty Thunder XF Mighty Thunder DHC to whatever you got that can work with it. Should do at least 1M off a level 2 XF.

My alternate Thor team is now Felicia/Thor/Doom.

Thanks for the games Bronze, your Thor and crew kicked my ass man I have no idea what to do Vs She-Hulk and Arthur keep away was brutal lol, I have to step up my Thor some for sure. I kept dropping stuff it really hurts in this game when you drop your combos against good players.

Haven’t read through the whole thread but so i don’t know if it has already been posted, but Thor has a weird property on his air dash. Basically, with any other air dash character, if you jump over the opponent, hold forward and hit two buttons, you will keep going in the direction that you are going (so “forward” as in which direction the character is current facing). However, with Thor, if you jump over, hold forward and hit two buttons, you will actually back dash. Like wise, if you hold backwards, you will actually move the direction you was originally moving in.

How is this useful? Well in the corner after a knockdown, if they try to tech out of the corner, you can jump up, hold forward and hit 2 buttons and you will actually dash backwards into their direction where you can land a falling S (which looks very tricky). But if they decide to neutral or back tech into the corner, that same motion will cause you to dash into the corner with them. So it is like a options select of sorts.

It is possible to do the same thing midscreen, but will not catch neutral techers, since your air dash will go right over them.

Yeah, I mentioned this trick earlier in the thread. Very useful imo

One topic we haven’t really discussed much is Thor’s position on a team. What do you guys think? I keep rotating him around, because he seems to have use as point, middle, or anchor variably. He’s got the high health and versatility to open the match while you feel your opponent out, he can make good use of meter in the middle of a match, and as anchor he’s scary as nuclear shit with L3 X-Factor. I’ve watched more than one previously aggressive opponent panic and try to turtle up when Thor hits X-Factor, 'cause they know one hit will more than likely result in death.

I like that team super against Phoenix where Thor can just walk in and throw the bitch. What other supers aside from Amaterasu work well in that situation?

[Hiryu02]

I’m using Thor on the middle. Plan being I lead with Deadpool to DHC reset into Thor, then by the time DP is dead, I can still DHC from Thor into Doom, hopefully.

[Saitsuofleaves]

Which team do you think is better overall?

Wesker B/Thor B/Tron B(Spencer B) or Felicia a/Thor a/Doctor Doom Y?

[Louiscipher]

I’d go with Wesker/Thor/Doom personally.

[ogrimtitan]

I have trouble rationalizing Wesker with Thor. Their assists don’t help each other especially much (not any more than any of a dozen others, anyway), and they don’t have great DHC options. Felicia’s interesting, and Doom and Thor go great together, so I lean toward that team. Tron, of course, goes well with almost anyone.

Actually, Thor’s Mighty Smash makes it insanely easy to extend my combos and basically means any touch from anywhere will push my opponent to the corner with Wesker. Just ask Nissan.

[FullMetalRoss]

Same here. Plus Invincible cross counter to free combo is sickkkk.

[ogrimtitan]

I didn’t say their assists were bad. My point was that they don’t have unique, exceptional synergy that they couldn’t get with another character. Not saying they can’t be used to good effect together.
