Here’re some good Thor matches courtesy of Duck Strong. Really shows how well Thor works with an OTG assist.

Yeah that Thor is pretty good, I play Thor in the same style, and use an otg (wesker) and a beam assist (doom). Thor does very well with those characters.
A new Thor combo video that is on the front page. See some interesting things to me in this video.
(can’t embed it for some reason)
Click the media button in your forum post. Sorta looks like a film strip, and just paste the url in the pop up box. I liked that Thor video a lot actually. Some interesting ways to link into Mighty Tornado. And just so it’s here along with it, I’ll copy paste the notes from the description.
EDIT: Yep, that did it.

Yeah, I tried that and was getting an error message about not being able to embed that URL. So I just posted the link instead.
all those videos were awesome
Oh, I see why now. Because that was the link to the embedded video from the front page, instead of the actual youtube link, the forum didn’t like it. After taking out the “feature=player_embedded&” part, it should work out fine.
Anyway, looking back on that grab set up, I found that it does work pretty nice. If you’re in the corner, once they tech out of your throw, you can do a quick :h: Mighty Hurricane. Insanely fast, insanely strong, but anywhere else on the screen it’ll whiff, which makes sense because of it’s range, but by using the :l: or 
versions of Mighty Hurricane, you get the same effect. would be the best I think because it’s 3 frames, and still covers the range you need. Tried doing it in the air, too, but it doesn’t work. A teched air grab pushes both characters way too far away.
Ah thanks for letting me know why it wasn’t working for me. 
I’ve been too busy to make it to any cool events I got some matches recorded on a random day off.
Just testin out the camera on my phone…
Hi everyone, I’ve been following the forums for a long time, but don’t post very often. I’d like to share some of my matches. I consider myself an average player, would appreciate any advice.
I have a few other videos on my profile as well
A few things I’ll say, stop ending combos abruptly without a super. The only time you should end combos is because it was either by accident (of which case you need to head into training mode so you stop dropping them), or you’re going for a reset.
Stop ending your combos in Mighty Thunder unless you’re going into a DHC that KILLS.
Stop using mighty smash during your block string. There’s only one thign you should be doing after a cr. and that is MIGHTY HURRICANE or MIGHTY PUNISH.
Those are major things I would say stuck out to me in the few minutes I watched. Maybe I’ll add more but I’m currently heading out, other people will add more. |And that was THE MOST passive wesker I’ve ever seen.
I feel like you have to know whether people are gonna pushblock attack strings or not when you’re up close. If they push block, you can use H Smash to stay in their face because you have frame advantage on block. If you’re dealing with someone using a pixel character who’s used to mashing jabs better then Thor then they’re in for a rude surprise. If for any reason you get blocked on M Smash be prepared to cancel into a super and DHC into a safe super. If you learn the timing for it, you can land Mighty Punish clean off m smash. Basically you have to learn how long you have to wait before canceling into the move. If they know it’s coming just make sure you have two meters and you don’t have to worry as much. As for the aerial Mighty Strike, it’s the same deal as heavy smash. I forget a lot too and I’m trying to train myself to react on this, but if that move gets blocked and Thor’s near the ground, you need to be attacking. You have frame advantage. If for any reason they’re not pushblocking, then you can start going for throws. Just personal opinion though, everyone’s approach is different…
Got a few casuals between a few friends of mine im playing Dante/Thor/Dorm. I was really nervous lol so I was dropping stuff like stinger bc teleport. Any tips or whatever are appreciated
edit: I know I said Thor isn’t low tier but these matches don help my case at all I played awful with him

I like what I saw. I figured other people might wanna comment but with Ultimate comin out I guess not. Anyway, why didn’t you like to finish air combos with an otg h smash? Not criticizing, just tryin to pick your brain. I dunno, you had a good showing to me. Nice fights…
Thor is definitely not Low tier and you did a very good job with him I really like the mighty strike into jump combo instead of just hit and relaunch pretty stylish.
LOL Hulk is so free to Thor. I’ll keep thor as a sub incase I fight heavy characters, the reason for this is because he’s reliant on assists, and in many cases causes me to eat a happy bday with him and Iron Man (who is my present anchor, and still might be in umvc3).
Thor really does shut down heavy characters with his greater mobility than them, a move that when fully charged beats out their super armor, and finally a command grab to suck in their fat hitboxs when they try to approach. He’ll be great for facing nemesis too.
We just need to see how he handles smaller/faster characters and zoners…
Man I have been sounding like a broken record but I really think we may be in for a pleasant surprise come ultimate.
We finally got KOcast back up and running, and hopefully we can make this a weekly thing out at UCSB. Anyway I got some nice thor matches up(and shuma gorath if you are into that) and played pretty well. I dropped his fullcharge smash link into m smash in the corner a lot because im used to using wesker otg for his resets, but I still got if off a few times, its nice that thor can use effective resets without an otg now. Anyway I start playing at 1:49:35 and again at 1:24:30 in the next video
That charged :h: M.Smash OTG > :s: > :l: tick M.Hurricane was pretty sweet. I’m going to have to try that out. Also, shoutout to the hyped commentator sitting next to you guys there. Guys that are that hyped while commentating is always good to hear on a stream.
Yeah to get out of that reset you need to mash a quick attack or airgrab, and to deal with that… jump up light s m strike into combo. Keep in mind if you start the combo with a strike you cannot fullcharge h smash into m smash because of scaling.
