I waited for him to recover. People forget that they recover before the electrified effect wears off. cr m is negative frames on hit, so I’m still canceling, just doing it late
Ah, good stuff. I do a similar set up, with c.M xx H mighty smash (hold) xx mighty punish.
Holding long enough for c.M to recover (on hit/block) but i find a lot of people don’t move or react as much than if I were to just do c.M, delay, MP. Maybe it’s because Thor is still moving and/or they’re expecting something to come out so they can punish…? Also, it’s somewhat safe because in that short window where they can jump or whatever, I can cancel the H mighty smash (hold) > mighty speech. I’m pretty sure that recovers a lot faster than a whiff super and I save a meter.
Does this trick work with any other normals? Or should I say gimmick?
Well honestly, it’s really just a tick throw. I mean, it’s no different then landing a crouching weak and canceling it into a command throw.
Valid point, never used a grappler before. So I forgot how much tick throws benefit them more so than most characters.
Here some vids of my Thor, C.Viper, and Tron. Had been playing MK for a minute so I was rusty in some of the vids. Well dig in.

Ok still working on Thor… Still having problems landing Mighty Hurricane in actual matches, But I’m still working on it. Here are a few videos playing some casuals…
YouTube - The Mossad Man (Thor/Dorm/Doom) Casual 1 (TRYING TO LEARN THOR!!)
YouTube - The Mossad Man (Thor/Dorm/Doom) Casual 2 (TRYING TO LEARN THOR!!)
YouTube - The Mossad Man (Thor/Dorm/Doom) Casual 3 (TRYING TO LEARN THOR!!)
YouTube - The Mossad Man (Thor/Dorm/Doom) Casual 4 (TRYING TO LEARN THOR!!)
YouTube - The Mossad Man (Thor/Dorm/Doom) Casual 5 (TRYING TO LEARN THOR!!)
Please critique… man i need help lol. Even though I won these, I feel that i’m missing something. Most of the matches, Dormammu did most of the work, but he’s pretty much my main character. I really want to get better with Thor… help lol…
well your thor isnt bad, i think that you just need more practice/experience with him so that you dont mess up the combos/resets, a few things to point out:
-You need to have more variety in your resets, the only one i see you using is the mighty strike L reset which is great for midscreen, but if you do it too much it will be too predictable + in the corner you have much better reset options than the Mighty strike reset imo.
-Try not to throw out Mighty spark H too much when your facing someone that can teleport or fullscreen punish you, and even if they cant try mixing it up with the 3 versions to catch them off guard. H version does good damage but its way too slow, you’re better off with mighty spark L cuz its extremely fast.
-Characters that have high mobility and keep moving around in the air (spiderman, trish etc.) can give thor a lot of trouble imo, air mighty strike L and mighty spark L are useful against them. In spiderman’s case you can just try zoning him out, you definitely have the team for it with dorm’s purification and doom’s beam or missiles.
-You should probably follow up any air Mighty hurricane with mighty smash M before the launcher, it adds more damage to the combo and is even easier to do than going straight to S > air combo. Air MH makes the other player bounce up pretty high (especially the L version) so if you do the launcher early you can end up knocking them pretty high up making it harder to do the air combo.
Other than that you could learn to mix up his tri-jump follow ups, maybe go for cr.L or MH instead of a j.L.
Man guilty on ALL accounts. And your right about the experience. I feel so sluggish when trying to react sometimes. Also for setting things up.
Am I the only one who things Thor is basically a really REALLY strong Makoto? I mean mixups? Command grab>full combo setups? anyway…on to the reply
-I agree whole heartedly that I need to work on the resets. Actually, I can do most of the posted ones. Its just hard to remember to do them during the match… REALLY got to work on that. I landed, what, 1 (one) in all five matches??? That’s unacceptable… GOT to work on that…
-Duly noted. Again spot on because i’m all about the damage lol. Got to mix things up… get out of my comfort zone…
-Yeah I think wesker is thor’s cryptonite lol. But I do have trouble with faster characters. If i get my hands on them though… its over lol. You are right though. In cases where I"m facing faster characters, I should use faster specials. Make a lot of sense.
-CAN’T BELIEVE I DON’T DO THAT lol. I practice it so much. duing the reset practice, during the karagrab practice, trying to set up crossups (land) and MH, and I always do Mighty Smash after Mighty Hurricane. When it comes to a match, I always fail and just end up tapping :s:. Sigh… got to work on it…
You know I work on thos tri jump follow ups, but I have a hard time actually getting people to block it when I’m ready to do a mix up. I mean, usually either it whiffs or I hit them out of the air or I get lucky and catch them with the overhead. I haven’t really learned how to determine whether they will block or not (and are mixup-able) until its too late. Still working on it. I just have to consiously remember what I learned in training. I keep doing the simple stuff over and over, and i know its only going to get me so far…
thanks for the critiques. REALLY appreciate it!
I added a bunch of casuals from my house (all in hd!) I play thor in all the matches I am some are better than others though. With psn being down I haven’t been playing as much so I forgot alot of stuff. Anyway here is a playlist of all the matches
YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.
or go to youtube.com/rkoehl if you don’t want to browse through the playlist for the ones with me in it.
Spencer + Thor DHC glitch, uses 3 meters, starts with 1 does 1.43 million. Plus glitchy double ground bounce!

Great vids Ross seems like you have some good people just to play casual with lol, I prob don’t have anyone within 100 kms of me 
Thanks man, yeah I am lucky that I had some friends who were actually interested in this game, usually in like sf4 no one wanted to play, but alot of these guys were good GGXX players and they really like this game. I’ll keep posting vids.
x-23/thor/deadpool dhc i made. sucks i dont have a tripod to record as i had to stack a bunch of dvds and my thor omnibus to get the camera on level with the tv.

How did you get Thor to keep his ground bounce after using his assist to ground bounce before the first super?
EDIT: Nm, just noticed ur message in the info about it.
In regards to that I was talking to more people about it, and I guess if you interrupt ground bounce moves at the right time, you keep the bounce for some reason… it doesn’t really make sense to me why it happens, but yeah interrupt ground bounce at the right time and it happens.
I saw your video on thor ebbs,it was amazing,you rushed down with thor like magneto.
Congrats you’ve won the internet good sir.
A friend of mine did it, lol. Probably should have picked Wesker or Dante in alt costume, oh well. Welcome to Asgard snapback
Thanks man. Well the quality of the videos was so bad that people are just gettin setups to record in HD, lol. I surprised it has the number of views that it does. A friend of mine is gonna be puttin up matches today or tomorrow.
Hmmm, it doesn’t look like SRK’s gonna put the matches from the Break Weekly up on the front page. I know a lot of people get turned off to East Coast style commentary so here’s last week and this week.
YouTube - ?The Break Weekly #107 - FR - Wetbucket VS Julius? <—that’s what happens when I don’t play for a week. WetBucket’s pretty good, so I’m not takin anything away from him though…
This week YouTube - ?The Break Weekly #108 - W1 - Pavel VS Julius? There were so many people there on Tuesday. Tournament didn’t end til close to 2. Anyway I have to stop messin up the input for King Kobun. It cost me against Damian on Saturday and again on Tuesday.
