Straight Outta Asgard, Thors thread

So, I’ve been seeing this a lot and all I have to say is, have yall ever played ANY other Marvel game except for MvC2?

They were ALL broken, not just MvC2. MSHvSF was retarded, Wolvie was stupid, XMvSF had a bunch of infinites and it was broken as shit but it was still balanced, X-men:cota was very broken, and MvC had an illegal infinite for gods sake. I don’t understand why MvC3 shouldn’t follow the same path, but it’s okay. Hopefully it’ll be good.

Those games were from a different time and frankly I can see them removing any discovered Inf with patches down the road.

The difference is the time, that over was ten years ago before online play was such a big deal and before there were videos documenting all this exploits. I have no doubt mvc 3 is gonna be balanced simply because the online would suffer if it wasn’t. I remember a crap load of kids complaining that kilik from soul calibur 4 was broken(yea i know) and if they complain about a character that is not even close to being broken what would they say about actually broken characters?

Anyway thor is looking pretty awesome, i like the idea that he may have resets into relanches, should make for some nice shenanigans in the air.

The only unbalanced Marvel games are MvC2 and MSHvSF. I said “broken” not “unbalanced”. xmvsf was broken but it was still balanced.

Well either way they wont survive under the current climate, look at all the grief gears of war 2 got for being broken. Back in the day you could get away with it because of the lack of youtube, now any exploit discovered it gonna be put on youtube for everyone to use.

And with balance patches being released all the time im sure any and all exploits will be patched.

That’s retarded, seriously. That actually pisses me off.

I’ve played all the marvel games when they were fresh in the arcades. The exploits were talked about online and videos definitely existed for mvc1 at thevtime it was new showing infinites. I think they’d fix certain issues but don’t expect many, capcom has never done that for any fighter before.

In mvc2, Magneto/Cammy/others could only do (IIRC) 2 throws in their throw resets. For some strange reason that i’ve never understood, the game didn’t allow you to do more than 2. Unless there was something that i’ve always missed.

What? Now your getting upset because i am trying to see eye to eye with you?

I just rewatched the Thor gameplay vid and the ground command throw definitely has startup. I counted 2 frames of startup and connects on the 3rd frame. I think the air version is the same.

I have to agree, it’s great he’s being released in what so far appears to be an extremely fun and exciting game.

No, what you explained to me pisses me off, not you yourself. I makes me mad because it’s true. sigh

After watching the videos… I’d kinda like it if his hammer hit with either a more weighty sound. The electricity just sounds a bit light and airy to me. Perhaps more thunder claps? This is an Asgardian God we are talking about! :lol:

Ah ok thanks for clearing that up, i thought you were pissed at me for a second. Don’t worry bro, im sure the people at capcom love the franchise more than you do, and while there will definitely be a couple of complaints here and there im sure the final game will still be as awesome as mvc 2 was.

Thread title sucks.

“For Honor, For Glory, For Asgard! The Thor Thread”

“I Say Thee Nay! The Thor Thread”

anyways…

his hypers look lame. too much start up on the magnetic shockwave lookalike, and the thornado just looks not worth it. sigh. thor was such an easy character to get right and it looks like they couldnt even do that.

50% damage isn’t worth it?!

oh, is that the damage it deals? I havent had time to pour over the videos yet. Im just talking aesthetics here

Oh. Well in his character debut video he deals about 80% damage with a combo ending with the tornado.

is there a video of the startup? it looks like he was in midair when he did it. if this combo is that brutal im sure its going to have its drawback. I also dont like how slow the start up on the mjolnir shockwave was

Behold in breathless wonder, the God of Thunder, Mighty Thor thread.
