i use Thor/amaterasu/ Dormammu so dont have any projectiles that will go full screen, out of curiosity though if i call ammy with cold star and wesker’s at full screen so the attack wont reach, but would ammy’s projectiles block samurai edge?
AFAIK they should yea.
Have you considered starting Ammy first instead of Thor? Don’t hesitate to switch around your team’s starting order if it’ll help with a bad match up. Yea it can screw up your DHC synergy but that’s a small price to pay if your normal first character can’t get any openings.
As mentioned before I very much believe Thor needs a good projectile assist more than any other. It makes his zoning so much better especially against people who will crouch his stuff at range. Honestly with your team I’d always start Ammy on point. Can you DHC into Thor (with Mighty Thunder) during the last hit of Ammy’s super? I’m not sure if it causes a hard knockdown.
Anyone?
you can but it does crap damage, like around 150k damage at best, i only do it when im going for the kill or hit an assist with the hyper. Its not rly about DHC synergy though, ammy can push ppl into the corner pretty easily and in the corner you can DHC into mighty tornado.
The reasons i prefer to have thor on point is because:
-He requires assists more than anyone else on my team.
-He has a lot of health so if the other player comes in with something unexpected or something i dont have experience with then there’s still room to adjust, where as ammy can be killed rather quickly.
But i do occasionally start with ammy on point if i feel its needed, i usually do it when im facing a phoenix team.
in terms of damage they’re both the same, but sometimes when you feel that the other player is being pushed away too far then its better to go for L MS cuz it has long reach, i dont think that usually happens though unless you didnt super jump forward.
In most cases i think that M mighty strike’s direction is better but there’s rly not much of a difference, at least nothing that im aware of.
I normally start with DP on point, Thor second. DP builds meter and can also DHC trick into Thor MP whiff into relaunch for a 99% guaranteed KO. Once Thor is out, he has DP low assist for unblockable setups, as well as Doom beam assist, plus hopefully the opponents options are a bit more limited due to the loss of a character.
How do you stay motivated knowing you have to work harder than like 95% of the cast. I love thor and the lore associated with him but sometimes the love is filled with annoyance once you face characters with fast normals or good teleports. I feel so helpless and just want to give up it is really depressing lol I love thor, how do you guys use him and are you effective with him?
Also whats the timing for the flight cancel after the M mighty spark to set up the reset? I always fall to floor before i could fly cancel.
Thanks for reply
Well, I try to maximize the strengths and minimize the weaknesses, this is why I use the team and assist that I do.
How do I stay motivated? Every time I land launch bnb M strike fly cancel reset and my opponent goes “fuck” when their puny character bites the dust, I smile.
Try doing the fly cancel earlier than you think after M mighty STRIKE, I listen for the sound of flight activating to know whether I did it with the right timing. It’s almost as if the devs knew that Thor would be flight-canceling off-screen so they gave him that distinctive sound. But I know they prolly didnt even realize.
In theory it should work, since the last hit of Ammy’s super causes a hard knockdown, which is what lets Ammy link a sword dive after the last hit of said super.
Blockstun causes you to wiff Mighty Punish? XFC into Mighty Punish…
Makes my mate so mad!
Anyone know how to deal with Wolverine? Can’t punish any of his moves even though they’re unsafe against most of the cast against Thor it’s a mission.
How do you deal with constant berserker slash pressure? Cos the crossups and normals are very predictable but I just don’t have an answer once he’s got me blocking. How do you get in on him? Every single thing he does beats anything I can do including tri jump L. All he has to do is L spam, H, S or dive kick spam with that ridiculous hit stun.
I’m clueless. Arthur’s a semi tough nut to crack too should I just fly over to him and use air MS’s to close the distance?
thor can punish wolverine just fine especially berserker barrage and his hyper, his standing S is punishable too. M mighty strike beats out dive kicks. For berserker slash you’re just gonna have to block it when its done during a blockstring, but if there’s some distance between you and he’s just throwing it out to cross you up then cr.M or Mighty spark should be able to interrupt the attack.
if he dive kicks from two high up you can reversal H command grab the dive kick.
Right will try out and see what happens. All I need is one hit on the fucker but he’s constantly moving, mashing etc. Reckon it’s better not to push block wolverine then?
you should be push blocking anything that isnt punishable, when he’s mashing cr.L pushblock, then if he whiffs S you should be able to punish with cr.H. Dont pushblock berskerker barrage, not sure if berskerer slash is punishable or not though.
Has anyone found practical use for the speech? I know you can cancel into it from any normal or special move and that you can cancel into supers from it. I’m trying to figure out other uses besides throwing out sparks from full screen and canceling into the speech from there. It was pretty funny watching Felicia use the helper super while she was using her charge to kill someone. I wish he could cancel the speech back into special moves.
honestly right now i think that mighty speech is pretty much useless, only use ive found for it is for forcing someone who’s turtling to attack.
Agreed Neo I do the same thing, what about after a air Mighty Tornado ? people are up there for quite a bit ?
i guess it depends on who you’re facing and what options they have in the air, but either way i think you’re better off setting up your next attack rather than using mighty speech tbh.
Wouldve been nice to be able to flight cancel out of specials instead, would be a huge boost to thor. But as it is i dont see the mighty speech cancels having any use unless its recovery is toned down a lot.
if you could cancel moves INTO mighty speech and also OUT of mighty speech that would be AWESOME hahaha think of the stupid ground combos you could do with that.
Uh, not many? Thor’s normals have really bad startup…
