Soul gem is working really well for me. I’m playing Team Keits (Thor/Dante…though I had it in mind for a long time). What teams are you guys playing? I feel Thor is kinda limited in synergy as he really benefits from lock down hypers like million dollars but few give him that ability. That being said he is a good characters in this game…it would be nice to see another tournament player pick him up.
THOR’S 6+HP (SPINNY HAMMER) DEFLECTS PROJECTILES, INCLUDING REALITY STONE (NOT BEAMS, TEST FOR BULLETS PLZ)
IT IS MIGHTY
AND SHOCKING
yep it can reflect everything that can be reflected, just tried.
Power Stone auto-corrects and I may have some new use for the air-dash canceling conceps in my head for Odinson. J.lk seems to be the friendliest for AD cancels on a standing opponent with its low hitbox profile.
Gonna see what I can do with this. And yeah that first time was a true combo.
Very impressive stuff Kalyx, I will definitely start looking at power stone for my Thornos team! (Thor/Thanos).
Just incase people dont know, Thor has super armor on the startup of his HP mighty blow
Gotta pop in here with some Thor love. He’s my favorite fighter, so looking forward to rep’ing with you cats to show what he can do! Cheers!
Do his grab super more. Everyone.
Afaik you don’t get anything off of it but it’s great for punishing loose strings & good damage on its own. Nice to cancel into from time or space gem with the latter being the best gem on Thor imo or bait with mighty speech as in mvc3
The damage itself is what we get out of it. Plenty ways to land it after finishing juggles with downward mighty strike.
I’ve been hooked on Power Stone for Thor/Dante.
I’m having a hilariously hard time finding a consistent combo into Thor’s lvl 3. The hitbox is so inconvenient imo. Mighty blow is the only move I’ve been able to confirm into it, and even then it’s very position dependent. Anything simple I’m missing here?
I wake up ultra that shit. I don’t care.
lol. Reminds me of just doing wake up Ultra with my man Hugo in SF4. Oh you went for a meaty? Tough shit, let’s count to 3 in German.
When you are sure you are going to land the grab super, tag in immediately
Kinda wanna see people’s match footage to see your neutrals.
Anyway…

Nice Ebbs.
A couple of notes… Try to use c.lk more than c.lp if possible. The system scales harder with c.lp
Off Hammer throw and Charged Strike confirms you should probably use c.HP to extend combo vs c.lp/c.lk but whatever works for you.
I was watching Abegen vs Champ (link) and he is box dashing HP cancel Spark and I think this is definitely a solid strategy. I use it but not as often as I should.
One thing I’m noticing more with the higher level players is just more switching when you can. It’s the main mechanic of the game. I’m so stuck in old UMVC3 ways of fighting it out with Thor that I lose him more than I should. More tagging keeps the neutral moving.
Anyways, what are you guys using for stones?
I’m using Soul but not sure it’s Thor’s best though it has definitely saved my ass a couple of times. Space plays we will Thor obviously, Reality is good for neutral…I might consider Time if I could find it useful.
Thor is the only character I’m interested in currently until Sigma comes out and then I’ll be rocking that team for…a while.
Nice matches. I see you usually for a reset situation after a command grab. Is that the best option? I’ve been labbing out some combos but nothing really worth spending meter on.
I’m now sort of switching between teams of Spidey/Thor/Ghost Rider. Can’t shake the need to learn 3 chars. Damn you MvC3. lol.
But I find Flaming Skull man/Mjolnir Man to work well together. Using the reality stone since it’s the only one I have bothered playing around with at the moment. Gives Thor a nice projectile to work with since he lost his beam. Might fuck around with Space Stone. But I don’t think it goes well with the Inflammatory Biker.
Fresh off the presses. Ranked set.
I usually post my matches in the main thread but being a Thor player I should probably share more here. Get and give tips. For Asgard!
Also: @Drift, Power Stone all day.
@Driftingsort Gotta unprogram muscle memory
@Vyomesh Yeah, the damage scaling and limited options are off the throw.
@“Kalyx triaD” Good stuff man. Team Keits to the rescue, lol.
I was browsing for other Thor players and their matches yesterday. I’ll post them some time soon
Now that you brought it up what is everyone doing after the command grab? Im surprised they messed up the hitstun scaling after them. I have been messing with this lately:
lp grab, dash lk,hp,hk,c.hp, sj.hk, addf j.lk, lp spark, j.hp, lp spark, j.hk, charged hk strike, super or uncharged strike for the mixup.
The charged strike only hits when in the corner but the normal strike works if you airdash forward after j.hk. If I mess up my timing and accidently otg them after the grab I end with j.hp, spark, super or just mixup after the j.hk knockdown.
