That’s pretty much my go to thing for incoming, and it works out great, but gets completely beat out by push block.
That’s why I was thinking of missiles. If you have an assist hitting at the same time you won’t get pushed away and having Thor charging above them would keep them from trying to air dash. Dunno though, I haven’t actually tried it out, I’m sure it’s not fool proof, but if it works if could be guaranteed against. some characters.
ok Mighty Smash H didn’t make the cut -.- or i’m missing something
for incoming characters i currently use
- j.M (call cold star), j.S, j.mighty strike M (not all the time), + up low tridash mixups (tridash + j.L or tridash + j.H into c.L)
- call ammy, fully charged s.Mighty strike M, + up low tridash mixups (mighty smash M if the M.strike hits)
- sometimes i go for the guard break
I was testing s.Mighty Spark H for incoming characters in the corner, apparently it cross up if timed correctly.
Wow, this thread is so dead…
Anyone hype to see Hemsworth body people on May 4th?
Would repulsor blast coupled with 
mighty strike a good trick on incoming characters, can I continue to stick with simply using mighty strike without an assist, or does it have enough flaws that I must use a lock down assist, like repulsor blast, with it?
You know it. Gonna get as many peeps as I can to go see that in theaters.
Repulsor Blast’ll get the people to block for a while, so maybe while they’re blocking and you do your Mighty Strike, you could surprise 'em with the jL, crL thing. Doing it without an assist makes it easier to see, and that could be a bad thing for you.
It’s weird, but I’m most looking forward to seeing Thor than anyone else, followed by Cap. Even though Tony is my favourite Superhero. I guess its because I want to see more of their comicbook feats that their movies didn’t show.
I’ve always been using Unibeam, but after watching Joker’s use of repulsor blast as a lock down, I’ve been debating between repulsor blast or keeping unibeam.
Repulsor definitely has the huge hitbox goin’ for it. Makes it excellent for catching people up close. That’s on incoming, in people’s faces, and all sorts of up and personal junk. If you have another character with a beam, then it’d be great to use.
Was looking for some general knowledge on Thor and just assumed to post it here. I’m wondering what inputs people use for tri0dashing with Thor. I’ve been plinking H into M, for the option select throw, and then L for the over head, or I re-hit M for the fake. I got this from playing Magneto but there seems to be other ways to dash so I was just wondering what other Thor’s were doing.
tridash offensive:
normal jump, airdash down forward, j.L for overhead
normal jump, airdash down forward, j.H (fast landing), cr.L for fake overhead into low
normal jump, airdash down forward, j.H (fast landing), mighty hurricane
normal jump, airdash down forward, mighty hurricane L, for catching people trying to avoid high-low mixups
All of this of course enhanced by a lockdown assist.
Been experimenting with Avengers teams since the movie and discovered that Repulsar Blast can be a great assist when coupled with a beam assist for Thor.
As any good Thor knows, eventually players will try to run from the God of Thunder when they realize the damage he does, which makes things a flying chase across the screen.
I’ve been using the repulsar assist when I’m at mid screen, and it has been catching players who try to attack early or who try to escape. Then if I react fast enough, I can Air Medium Mighty Strike or mighty smash and start my combo.
Obviously it’s also good for defensive purposes and is great for a Thor corner combo that includes Thor’s OTG with Repulsars, fully charged mighty strike into Hard Mighty Spark + Tornado. The combo averages 850K, but I’m sure some of you can find ways to go higher than that.
I’ve been using it with Cap’s shield assist which I had forgotten how good it is for Thor.
Anyways, you want to use Repulsars, I suggest using it that way… thoughts?
I just recently changed my team order, so I’ll have to be doing some testing. Currently Thor sits as my sub though, Hawkeye fits my team better than Thor. Though when I do run him, I find unibeam is a better long range support tool than triple arrow, by hawkeye.
I’m interested in this combo. I have been thinking about switching to repulsar assist for my Avenger team. When would you call Ironman during Thor’s OTG? Thinking about it, I don’t see any place where it would work, really. I’m not sure if the 2nd mighty smash would leave enough time for repulsar to come out and fire.
What I meant is you can do a standard combo into the corner. Land. Hit the assist just before you input the H Mighty Smash (no charge necessary) and Repulsars will juggle the opponent. While he’s juggling charge the ground Hard or Medium Mighty Strike, once you hit them go H Mighty Spark into Mighty Tornado.
That’s pretty much what I’m doing but I actually do it from super jump not normal jump as according to the guide it’s faster with super jump. So I’m just sj. Plink dash H to M to L, so just kind of piano. I do the same thing for Dormammu.
Also a big thing with Thor is I get caught jumping a lot. I upback! to get in the air cause Thor is so ass on the ground and I get caught in my jump frames. Damn slow normals. That’s why I don’t use the fake overhead low very often, too slow, I usually just go into Mighty Hurricane. I do like the idea of catching upback! with Mighty Hurricane L though, this seems like a good idea do to off normal jump height and what are you doing on whiff?
Cant rly do anything other than hope they dont punish, this isnt the sort of thing you just throw out, only use it if you see a pattern and you can predict their jump.
Well, you can always throw out an assist right before in case they just stay on the ground, but that means you can’t use an assist to set up the situation in the first place.
yeah, i dont attack relentlessly if Ammy is not backing up. Mighty hurricane L catch people trying to jump up-back because what they are actually trying to do is to escape the lockdown with Coldstar. Once coldstar catch a character on guard, the fake overheads into lows, actual overheads and crossups into lows are the way to open people up and it’s very easy, Thor mixups on lockdown are pretty deadly, on the level of C.Viper imo; Magneto is still the king though.
The only viable way I see to do mixup low is air dash straight down. It’s really fast off a superjump with Thor. And I’m not using the greatest in lockdown assists as both my assists come out relatively slow.
Had some matches last week that has me thinking about Thor’s kara’s. I still haven’t been using them in matches yet. When you’re in training mode and you set the dummy to push block it push blocks better then most people do. If there’s only one pushblock on heavy Mighty Smash then you should be in reach for crouching heavy…I think. If this is true, then it helps a lot that Thor’s heavy has him using the hammer because it shouldn’t have a hurt box. So either people weren’t getting their normals out in time because pushblocking does add blockstun and heavy smash was already plus on block or they were but their limbs were only hitting the hammer, not Thor himself. If this stuff is true then it’s a good setup for kara’s into Hurricane or Punish. Nothing ground breaking just random thoughts I guess…
That is a pretty interesting thought actually. If you do the right assist call, something slow, it might help the mixup or prevent the opponent from just upbacking.
Played a Vergil yesterday. They match is horrible and my team cannot deal with it. Tasks assist isn’t helping any and you can never persuade Vergil to not hit buttons. Round Harvest, or whatever that this is called, controls so much space and combine it with, in this case, Shopping Cart. It’s a nightmare for Thor. If I could get my hands on him I killed him but that was few and far between. I think I would need to adjust my team for characters like him and Zero. Either putting Drones, Missiles or Vajra in Tasks place.
