so hyped for the thunder god!
i will be speaking in ye olde norse while i smite thee with thy hammer! foul beast!:rock::rock:

yea the thunder god has arrived!

yea his going be a freaking monster

Great Match, this really starts to show some interesting things.

Thor looks pretty hard-hitting as expected, but I’m betting his command grab airthrow will be techable, simply because the TvC team is producing the game, and well…he’d kill characters pretty quickly if it wasn’t. :rofl: On another note, I wanna see how much damage this fool does with x-factor. YIKES! :wow:

It looks like all of Thors moves hit OTG. Thors gonna have some mad broken resets and oki.

Is it an air throw or a ground command grab that takes you airborne? It doesn’t look
like an air-to-air command

In [media=youtube]jP1lVNh4HZQ"[/media] vid, at 0:31 and 0:42 secs, the Thor player looks like he spins the stick before the throw, speculatively indicating that it’s a command throw. Then at 0:55 he does the same throw on a neutral jumping Ryu with a post throw combo. I wonder if the throw has startup animations.

They are using his current look, makes sense since they did it with Iron Man and Wolverine too. It also helps he’s using that look in the movie.

Besides, his new armor fits him better.

It’s horrible that I can’t look at Thor without making a subtle connection in my mind to a horse wang.

Anyway he looks like a combination of heavy hitter and combo machine. I can see him being the Tekkaman of this game, only without the range and with better combos.

now thinking what it be like with team of thor/superskull and trish .unleasing hell with thor,and superskull with trish assist for added chaos.

thors looking pretty awesome im glad to see him do his thing in the footage! cant wait till the game drops maybe capcom will release a demo since fans been craving it for a while.

From looking at the videos multiple times I’m 90% certain it’s a command throw with fairly quick start up, can be used ground or air and sets up a floor bounce into launch opportunity. Looks like Thor will be a reset monster if that can’t be teched.

I wonder if/when they add ground tech (rolling or quick rise) and otgs become null and void whether a lot of the cast will instantly lose a lot of their edge. Looks atm like Thor and Hulk in particular have a lot of otg combos.

Yes! I heard ā€œAvengers Assemble!ā€ so good. Wow… that is awesome. Thor’s lightning super kinda looks like a mix of Magneto’s magnetic shockwave from MvC2 and Zero’s Rekkoha from TvC. It drags them across the screen like magnetic shockwave but has a slow start up like Rekkoha.

str

i bet its like super skull command throw which seth said its unblockable.

Oh my god, where to fucking begin! First off…I FUCKING LOVE HIS THEME. They went for a folkish/nordic tune that hits all the right notes and totally works on every level. Way to fucking go Capcom.

Next: Holy shit he hits like a goddamn train. And his command throw is godlike. Im so hyped right now guys.

No shit, it’s a throw which means it’s unblockable. It reset the combo counter so that’s guaranteed.

I’m just wondering if they’ll implement a tech system, or maybe increase start up so that you can jab out of it or reversal. Otherwise there’s a brain dead loop right there.

Usually command throws in fighting games can be avoided by holding ā€˜up’. So I doubt it’ll be any kind of loop. These sorts of throws usually ignore jump startup frames and consider them as an airborn state.

fix’d

dude game be out in 2011 so they have enough time to adjust thor like they did chris and hate say it like trish when they go back look how broken she is. i don’t think this game be has broken has mvc2 was.

The loop I’m thinking is launch, (sj.a, b, c command throw ->ground bounce) xN

That would have the command throw always be air-to-air. So they couldn’t jump out. Like I say, unless there’s a tech or they can jab out that’s a sick reset loop right there.

I’ll give it a try at SvB if Thor is playable there.
