No the Pax build was the same as the SDCC build the TGS/NYC/Fightckub added Thor/Dorm/Joe/Ammy
I think Dorm/Joe/Ammy/Thor were ifrst playable at TGS, then again at Chigago fight club and at NYCC.
PAX used the SDCC build, and was where Dormammu and Joe were “revealed”… Those four then became playable at TGS.
So… anyone want to speculate about potential good strategies and partners for Thor?
Ok well some of my ideas for thor is to use a good lockdown assist. That way thor can get in, and once he’s in go for mixups lol. It’s pretty generic. Idk maybe if he has overhead properties on his powerdunk, then maybe have one assist that hits low to have good high/low mixups. His command grab is combable so its good.
Command grab > powerdunk > launch > air combo > his tornado super.
Also Ameratsu’s slow down super might be good to DHC into thor, so they are forced to block more, therefore making his mixups deadlier.
So honestly maybe it was because I don’t play with an arcadestick and I didn’t know how to grab. But Thor was in my eyes one of the worst in the build at NYCC. He’s so freakin slow , I know I know he does great damage but his animations are just god awful slow. Before he can hit someone, anyone can combo the living piss out of him. His specials feel very limited to a nearby range of him and not more or less a long range. I felt like they messed him up real bad. I mean I don’t mind if he’s a heavy hitter but does he really have to be that slow?..He’s freakin THOR for gods sakes (no pun intended)!
Hmm…well a Spencer assist with his GET OVER HERE!! move could pull the opponent into Thor’s command grab…then after rape ensues.
I’m pretty sure that Thor can only combo after the air version of his command grab, not the ground version. That’s how Seth made it sound in the character walk-through. Ammy slow down super should be good for him though. I wanna see how much damage/chip he’ll get from tornado super, XFC, tornado super. :lol:
wow, good idea with the bionic commando assist. Thing is, does it pull closer if they block it?
well …i got to agree with the fact that Thor is way too Slow for a Thunder God that can fly and control lighting and stuff… I mean the Hulk was way faster than Thor ( when i played the NYCC build) I played Thor in everymatch i had and he would just get OWNED!! it was hard to control him. Even his jumping weak attack had a slow animation… The only thing that Thor had effective for him was his Super Grab and his Command grab which everyone i played caught one of each… They need to atleast make him a BIT faster…specially if he has an eight direction airdash… the air dash was a joke…
I just think making Thor a bit more mobile and a little faster would just fix every problem. It seems like he’s just way too slow, and as sure as he’s strong that doesn’t mean a thing if he can’t get in and, even worse, can’t hit when he’s in because nothing has priority.
Also, has anyone tried that spinning hammer attack Seth always points out? Is it really anything special.
Thanks! I doubt it, just pushblock that shit away I’m guessing, lol…
Thor can combo after grounded command grab and Spencers bionic arm will VERY likely be blockable.
Too early to speculate teams since we don’t have the full cast, but X-23 looks like a good first slot character with Thor second. Thor/Trish/??? seems good too.
Thank you. I mean he needs to be SOMEWHAT faster…it’s absurd. I really dig the speedier Hulk (please keep him , it does make sense with the recent Hulk).
yeah i tried the spinning hammer thing…its just pressing the attack button fast…but i didnt see any use for it it may reflect projectiles
Can anyone provide feedback on his Mighty Strike special? It’s seen in this video (character walkthrough) at 0:40
I never see anyone use it at all, and I’d like to know whether it’s safe, has super armor, goes through projectiles, etc. Seth compared him to Colossus, so maybe it’s like his old shoulder charge? Hell if someone could test it in the upcoming fight club that would be great.
Check here at about 1:58–Thor’s torpedo/dunk specials are definitely NOT safe. Looks as bad or worse than gamma charge! >_<

actually it looks like its safe! if you look closely it seems like thor is trying to jab after the powerdunk and ends up getting it stuffed. my money is on a safe power dunk but with frame disadvantage
That’s what it is
Its totally safe but like you said frame disadvantage
