I gave serious consideration to making a thread entirely about this, but the Reset thread here has been lonely for the past month!
Let’s talk about **the **Mighty Tornado glitch. It’s been a running gag lately that Thor can do what is probably one of the most hilarious ways to waste 5 meters in a row, which involves performing a Mighty Tornado in the corner in such a way that the opponent lands on top of it and doesn’t get hit by the final blast of the super. It sends the opponent into an (lightning-covered) unrecoverable fall state ending in a soft knockdown, just as if you had DHCed out of it (Wesker’s Phantom Dance has a similar effect). By using this glitch and having assists hold the opponent in the corner, you can link multiple Mighty Tornadoes. But is that the best use for this?
Not quite. See, Thor doesn’t need that much meter to kill people. All he needs is a reset. Since you’re in the corner, half the work is done for you.
Witness the Mighty Tornado Untechable Reset.

It goes like this:
Using the Mighty Tornado glitch, send the opponent into a floating freefall. At that point in the combo, the hitstun deterioration of your opponent is maxed out, which is to say the next “regular” hit will cause the opponent to tech out of the combo. Now, in the PRACTICAL version of this combo, I use Mighty Smash M before the initial launcher instead of at the end of the super, but I wanted to show off how the ground bounce property overrides the hitstun deterioration. So, by launching the opponent afterward, you override that limitation just like the ground bounce.
Now, after launching, the first hit in your air combo will cause the opponent to tech out, OR you can just wait for them to tech out in roughly 10 frames. You want to wait. At this point, Thor will be slightly over the opponent in the air, in the corner. Thor’s body will block forward techs, they will be unable to tech backward due to the corner, and teching in place will only alter the timing with which you can reset them. A few moments of practice on a random-teching AI opponent will be more than enough to get the hang of eyeballing the timing for catching somebody.
Mighty Hurricane L in the air has massive range, enabling you to simply use it when you see the opponent flip. Timing is key, here, because you basically have a 20-frame advantage. If you MH-L too early, you grab nobody. If you do it too late, they can jab you out or they’ll actually end up floating over you. It’s very possible to simply time your Hurricane to catch them at the very first possible frame they become vulnerable, thus negating literally anything except invincible reversals with perfect timing.
Also, to lengthen the beard of all this tomfoolery, the initial combo should take them to the corner from the center of the screen. All that is necessary is for you to get them into the very corner by the time you use the OTG assist. Now, for the notation:
Rule 1: You need an OTG assist.
Rule 2: You need to charge Mighty Strike all the way.
Rule 3: You need to cancel Mighty Strike into Mighty Tornado before Mighty Strike finishes its active frames. This will launch the opponent vertically, higher than usual.
Then you wait for them to float down, relaunch them with http://comboimg.com/mvc3/s, super jump after them, and Mighty Hurricane L. Easy and fun! For smaller characters (like Wolverine, as if he needed to be any more obnoxious) you’ll have to take a step backward before relaunching them or else you’ll cross them up instantly the moment you superjump (which would take you out of the corner and allow them to escape the reset). Also, naturally, you’ll have to continue comboing after MH-L.
As demonstrated in the video, you will build enough meter to do the super over the course of the initial combo. This requires no meter. What’s more, it will kill any character in the game with the sole exception of an enemy Thor IF AND ONLY IF you begin this entire combo off a Mighty Hurricane-- I think. I haven’t actually tested that, but it’s such a specific scenario that I don’t see a need to hurry about it.
Ooookay. I believe that about wraps things up. I was watching early Thor videos and it really is apparent that he’s been forcibly toned down, but it’s only believable that it would be necessary after seeing ridiculous nastiness like this. Questions?
