just realized that at 1:27 Thor’s Mighty Thunder (Magnetic Shockwave) had its start up reduced alot compared to the version in his debut trailer
thor doth sucketh.
i feel like i called this coming somehow…thor wouldve been so easy to get right as a rushdown character, add in projectile hammer throw, odinforce blast…instead he has a “power dunk” which is easily the stupidest shit ive ever seen in a marvel game. oh well, here’s to Thor pours out a lil mead on the floor before chugging the whole thing and going to feast with Volstagg
Well from my impression playing him he does not suck by any means. As of right now he only has two assists no level 3 hyper and god only knows what things are being planned and not yet implemented. That being said Ive said this in the chicago fightclub thread a couple times his power dunk assist coupled with wolverines rushdown, is right now what I feel to be the best rushdown combination in the game. Combined with Dantes electric pillar that stays onscreen a very long time you can have your opponnent feeling very claustraphobic in no time. on point his normals have a lot of speed and priority basically if youre trying to rush him down and guess wrong youre eating 50% at the very least. His lightning bolt does have an ass ton of priority like i guessed. I havent seen any projectile beat it so its very likely magneto status. HIs 8way dash is pretty weak but i feel like that may change. All in all he is a very good character far from suck. The only character ive seen suck so far is Chris capcom really needs to figure out what there gameplan is with him lol.
I hope they add a second Asgardian. Loki would be the most hype, and volstagg would be my second choice.
Personally i think loki has a good chance along with green goblin just because of the up coming movies. Plus siege and dark reign were so huge.
Man if I can have a Loki Venom and Skrull team that would be epic
Did somebody mention Volstagg?! I would love him in this game!
while were at it, gimme hogun or fandral.
Team… Warriors Three?
I would never use any other team.
with some tweaks, thor looks to be amazing. even if his command grab has long startup you may still be able to force your opponent into a nasty 50/50. something like magic series, launcher, magis series, then throw if they do nothing, or his dash attack to train them not to jab their way out of a throw reset. even with his crappy 8 way dash you should still be able to rom for a quick overhead like mvc2 doom.
My dream team would be Loki/Doom/Namor. Bring on the Cabal.
pfft give me loki or destroyer
someone who played him in one of the builds: is he similar to the TvC Alex? videos make him look kinda similar, and thatd be awesome.
Alex wasn’t as much of a brawler as Thor is, but they do seem similar.
destroyer could play like a more mobile, smaller abyss (1st stage) when he opens that visor…MEGA ODINFORCE BLAST
Interesting. definitely gonna add a lot to his gameplay
unfortunately right now its ass it doesnt move him at all.
Any Thor feedback so far from NYCC?
Also I swear I read that his power dunk is an overhead? Is that correct?
In the live stream interview, I asked Niitsuma about how so many playtesters feel Thor is by far the weakest of the whole cast. The response (paraphrasing) was that players simply do not understand him, and that he is to be used as part of a complete team rather than individuals, and that he is there to be brought in when you are already damaging your opponent to really pile on the hurt and give you the advantage.
My brain screams “BS” on this one, but I’m curious what everyone else thinks?
