I’m afraid by the time you create part 2…Ultimate will be out. lol
Still nice to actually get a Thor tutorial. Really, the ones out there are blah.
Oh well, nature of the beast. OH…and you forgot Mighty Speech. It’s only useful in 1 situation, but…shrugs
part 2 is up already: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xe8EqkrWNg8
I didnt rly forget about mighty speech, its more like i was too lazy too add it and didnt think it was important so just skipped it, same with thor’s air throw.
UMVC3 is still like 3 months away, besides i dont think that there are going to be any changes to thor that are going to take away anything from this tutorial, might just have to add some new stuff.
This,
Wow amazing tutorial man, I learned quite a few things about the odinson that I didn’t know about before. I think my main issue is just getting people to respect thor enough to keep them blocking but those are some nice MH set ups you have. Gonna do some testing when I have the chance.
thx im glad you like it xD
Thats what mighty strike is for, the mighty strike mix up i showed in part 2 is especially useful for this because as a new character is coming in there rly isnt anything they can do to stop a fully charged mighty strike (other than invincible air hypers), so they either get hit or they block which sets up the mixup. Even teleporting, air dashing etc. wont work if the mighty strike is timed correctly, after doing it 2 or 3 times the other player is usually so scared of mighty strike that they wont press any buttons against thor, so when a new characters comes in i can usually just walk up to them and MH.
Mad props NeoArti. There were quite a few good things in there.
Here is a video of me playing thor at evo. I had a good run. Ended up losing to mine in quarterfinals though.

Damn. Best Thor I’ve seen.
One issue, and it has nothing to do with ur play, is how infrequently most players incorporate his command throw. It’s just too hard to do in a fight and Capcom hasn’t given him too many good setups for it. Especially since you have to wait until blockstun is over. Am I wrong?
Hopefully they give him some buffs to bring it in. For example, Haggar’s pipe makes it easier to command grab after. Thor needs a normal or special like that.
Huh? command grab has lots of setups. it just depends on if you have time to do them. I mean his resets are all based on commmand grab. you can use tridash l to tick into it, sentinel drones are great command grab setup on block… he has ways to do it, its just not always the best option.
He has lots of useful setups for the grab but you cant expect to get one every matchand I screwed up one of them in that match at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYo0QN7y8WM&feature=player_detailpage#t=165s
at this point you can mighty strike upwards and dash whatever direction they tech you will be slightly downright or left of them letting you catch them with command grab(as the hitbox is a bit above him as well) while they cannot hit you with their airgrab.
However against characters like magneto zero dante ammy (his worst matchups imo)and other characters with very good air h’s it can be hard to grab them as they can option select air grab you. But at the panel they said thor is getting an increased air grab range so that should help out.
Some vids back from a tournament late april http://www.twitch.tv/kocast/b/284874493

Loved the movement of your Thor at EVO. I’m think u showed how speedy and mobile he is. I surprise people all the time with his air mobility. Utilizing his three mighty strikes, flight and air dash causes a lot of chaos. Especially when u throw out some air mighty hurricanes. Once u establish that Thor rules the skies, its a lot easier to lock players down.
Well I said I would finish it and I finally did
Storm Thor Sent tutorial, most of the Thor stuff isn’t that new to people here, but take a look anyway.
very nice, but like you said the team focuses too much on the DHC glitch which is getting removed, that being said storm is probably the only that you’re gonna need to change, thor/sent work well together with or without the glitch. Sent’s assist rly is amazing, would like to have it on my team but i dont want to drop dormammu from the team >.<
out of curiosity how often do you land those cr.LH xx MH tick throws?
Lol like never, I only go for it occasionaly when I have sent following me. Its really sad casue people just hold up back so much. Its hard to get the time to do it. Or often times Im not paying attention enough. I really should try it more though…
Im hoping in ultimate to play a Thor, Sent, Another team - I hope nemesis is good as anchor, that woudl be sick.
Cheers for the video… just one thing though, I think you could have perhaps tweaked some of the timings for the titles… sometimes we have way too much time to read 3 words, and other times not enough for a whole paragraph.
Yeah I should work on that better next time. I watched it through and it seemed okay for most of them, but maybe its cause i was reading it. I should have someone else read it.
nice vid. it seems to me lots of thor players gravitate towards storm/thor/sent, including myself, although, i prefer sent rp assist. and i wholeheartedly agree, this is thors best team. i was expecting thor normal throw damage reset tagout with sent as a little extra.
actually, this team can do a whole lot of things most ppl haven’t seen yet.
Errr one point though… does might punish really have one frame of invincible start up? I could have sworn I’ve been hit out of it before…
If so that move is more crazy than I thought. A 1 frame invincible start up move that after the animation is an instant grab? Nuts.
I thought it was… I could be in error there I didn’t actually check the frame data. So you could be right, especially since I think you can get the ching for the super but no actual super.
Frames 3-6 are invincible according to the guide, not sure how this affects what mike was showing, guess it means you can’t do that stuff from point blank range.
Foo your Thor video isn’t coming up on youtube?
