Yeah, thought that might be the case… that move is ridiculous.
The Pipe is the single reason Thor doesn’t dominate haggar up close in my opinion. I’ll make it for Thor (frame data) but it won’t be until most likely the weekend is over. Luckily Thor is WAYYY more mobile and versatile than any of the heave characters, so you just have to use your versatility and range on haggar.
OMGTHIS. I was wondering if anyone else got hyped up from Fear Itself 5 other than me. Thor bodying asgardian powered up Thing and Hulk at the same time.
Someone has that reset used in a youtube video tutorial for Thor. Forgot the guy’s name though.
I dont rly see the point of using mighty strike M instead of mighty smash H in this situation, atleast mighty smash H will cross up with the assist and will allow you to land faster than mighty strike M. Also if they push block you during the cr.LM mighty smash H should get you back in and its + on block.
It was just too tight. Knocked Hulk into space, and walkin’ like a boss right after it. “To be continued, Banner.” I want that picture blown up and put on my wall. I want it turned into a T Shirt. I want that move thrown into the game.
Didn’t realize the Smash was plus on block. The reason I chose Mighty Strike over that was because I kept getting punished with the Smash, but then again I was using the M version instead of the H. Mighty Strike also gives a cross up if done anywhere other than the corner, and since strike also moves you forward, I figured that’d be good for push block, too. I guess I could turn on the push block to see how effective it is against that, though. I’ll do a compare and contrast of the two later on today and see which one ends up working better.
So what are some other block strings you guys have come up with?
Does anyone know if Mighty Thunder gets buffed/changed in umvc3? Right now the only time I use it is either with a DHC, or off of a lariat HKD (which is going away soon).
Better push back (like magneto) or some start up invincibility (like morrigan) would be good.
The only change we know to Thor at the moment is that his Mighty Hurricane has a little longer reach.
My question: Is there a better BnB than the one I’m using?
cr. L, cr. H xx Mighty Smash (M), S, air M, air M, air H, air Mighty Strike (M), air Mighty Tornado
not rly, the only thing you can do to improve on that is to use assists to slightly extend the combo.
Yeah, I think I like the Smash better than the strike for the block strings. It looks cooler and is definitely more effective against push blocking.
If you spike them to the ground and have an OTG assist, you can loop multiple Mighty Tornadoes or go for better throw resets which you can mix up into frame traps leading into another relaunch instead. Air resets don’t allow for that kind of versatility and usually force you to spend meter for the kill if you expect them to try and mash out of the throw attempt.
well thats if you have an OTG assist, corner only and you can repeat it once unless you have a 2nd assist with good hitstun so ya its not for all teams.
And i wasnt rly thinking about resets since he was asking about a good BnB not reset setups, the combo he posted was pretty much thor’s optimal BnB which is why i said that the only way to improve on it was with assists. And while i do agree that ground resets can be more deadly they still have 1 major flaw, they’re extremely limited midscreen. Most of the time if you wanna go for resets midscreen you’re gonna have to do it in the air, the only exception is the midscreen mighty smash H reset which doesnt rly provide anything extra compared to the usual air resets.
So how ‘bout dem X-Factor Guard Cancels? I’ve been recently in the lab workin’ on 'em for Thor because I desperately need an answer for Taskmaster’s BnB. Typically I just sit back, guarding and trying to wait for the opponent to make a mistake and drop the combo, but, as shocking as this may seem, good players don’t drop combos that often. How often do you guys implement guard cancels in your gameplay? I typically don’t like putting Thor in X-Factor because I never really though he needed it to be honest, but this does work as a quick cure for that Tasky itch. XF, Hurricane, BnB, dead character. One thing that I’ve noticed though is that when hitting X-factor, I may accidentally push block, and that throws everything off.
have you guys seen the deadpool trish peakaboo glitch? added with Thor

Odin is mos’ definitely pleased.
That is messed up and funny at the same time which means Odin approves.
“Yo niggas are gonna just “stay” there and hear this shit!”
I started messing around with trying to come up with more Thor combos. There isn’t really much more that can b done, but Thor is able to connect l.mighty spark with c.l. so far I have just done c.l, c.m, l.mighty spark, c.l, c.m, m. mighty smash, s, m,m, fly, mh… I went for the reset due to hitstun. Any ideas on what else might b possible? Perhaps someone can make a vid.
Just tried doing that in training mode, but it doesn’t actually seem to combo. Are you doing anything special with your crouching 
because when I do cr :l:, cr , spark, cr :l: , they recover and my second cr gets blocked.
I was able to get c.m afterwards… I couldn’t get mighty smash for some reason, but I think it might have been execution (when trying to do new combos I tend to get anxious the longer it goes and have to stop for a while then come back to it, lol. As far as getting c.l to c.m, I just did it really fast… Perhaps c.h will work better due to hitstun n such…
A spark at the start of the combo would MURDER your damage. Thor is heavily effected by hitstun scaling. If you want a hitstun scaling reset c.l c.h(m) s j.m j.m j.h j.s (they should be in corner) weskergun or other quick otg 421b(maxcharged) 623 b, s, follow them up they auto air tech right in front of you (they cant cant go behind) MH will work the first time but after they are on to you you can go for a j.b j.h 236L thornado to catch them trying to airthrow you. As for midscreen c.l c.h(m) s j.m j.m j.h j.s tridash downfoward (call wesker) 421L(max) 421H (generally you will cross them up to account for that in your input) they should tech right above you. Dash in the direction they tech and MH.
As far as spark tech there was one time where I was in the corner and the final hit of spark didn’t hit. Causing the slow fall that all multihit electric hitstun moves share giving you time to set some shit up. I haven’t really tried too hard to recreate it, but it only happened to me once. Thor has some really hard timing for some stuff like double thornado on ammy, and I have no idea what I did differently to have the final hit of spark whiff I think it was M spark not 100% though.
I was watching the stream with a Thor Player at Gamescon. At 58:32, Zero will pop in and it looks to me like Thors airdash is wayyy faster, maybe my eyes but heres the vid [media=youtube]TVwnbDZRoAk[/media]
