And I’m not bothered by it. The move sounded weird and kinda dumb anyway. I was willing to accept it because at the time Thor needed anything.
He’s got enough of a move palette to handle already. I know, every character pretty much got something and Thor got nothing annoyed the hell out of us…
But I much rather prefer him getting buffs across the board, over getting another new move.
Get ready to see alot more Mighty Punishes going on. I hope it ends up similiar to Task’s “aegis reflector”, where MP stuffs everything within the command range. I can’t wait to see if it stuff Nemesis’s hyper armor super. Shit will be god like.
By the way: I guess the earilier news about Mighty Tornado being bigger/wider is false too huh?
Raw launcher only whiffs on some characters after mighty tornado and you can just to a cr.l before and it hits everyone and doesn’t effect damage much, the big ones i noticed are wolverine and tron especially after H grab on teh ground. St.H hits everyone afaik I after an air mighty tornado already though and it should be your default combo after air mighty tornado as it does the most damage, st.h xx mighty smash m, cr.h, s xx blah blah
Im interested in more thornado loops for sure though just because increased mighty strike charge speed meeans it should be better to loop them with only 1 otg assist.
Other changes are good but I am unclear as to why the buffed st.L and not cr.l. The buffed tridash l will be nice and st.m may have more uses especially with increased speed of mighty spark, you can do things like st.m xx mighty spark as poke strongs. If you are close enough you may even be able to do st.m xx l mighty spark, link cr.l, s which could be cool as it is st.m is rarely used so anything better could be cool.
Less damage scaling will of course be nice but im wondering if this will also translate to longer combos since it didn’t say anything about changed hits stun detrioration should be interesting.
Making Mighty Spark even faster and have more untech time on juggle is pretty lols its already really good so now thor will have even better time zoning all the other big characters. I wonder how much faster they are though maybe we can actually combo into the M mighty spark against grouned opponents that could be cool.
In general these are alot of small buffs but they didnt’ mention the increased grab range, and i really hope it sticks especialyl for air so I can actually catch people who jump away better with instant airmighty tornado or after i hit them out of the air with tridash light.
If he ain’t tossing the hammer Im not impressed. Still hope they are trolling us and they give Thor a chargeble hammer throw where he spins it faster and faster as it sparkles with energy until he tosses it.
He tosses the hammer in his command throw… mighty punish. He pretty much does exactly what you said in that move. Don’t think they’ll do anything else unless they change that move. Face it, it’s not happening.
Naw bro, I’m not talkin about mighty punish. That’s a comand grab, I’m talkin about a projectile special that l. hits opponents twice like shield slash does and goes through projectiles when fully charged, m. Angles up and brings opponents back down to the ground and towards Thor, h. Wall bounces… All get more projectile invulnerability as he charges his hammer b4 he throws it. The longer he charges the further he should be able to throw it too. Charged air throw should ground bounce.
He still doesn’t have a voice clip saying “I say thee nay”, I’m thoroughly disappointed in the game already 
I am happy about the changes to Mighty Strike, I hope it’s as fast as charging star or at least nearly as fast, we need better ways of getting in. Though I wish they gave him a super that could beat random beam supers…
I would cry with joy if they give him that.
That said, if given the choice between a hammer toss move and overall speed/priority increase to his other moves, I’ll take speed all day, every day. Anyway, I think it’s safe to say the change log doesn’t list every change they’ve done to the characters, so although it’s unlikely, we can still hope for the best.
That’s a hard question to answer, because my Thor kicks a lot of ass as is. Speed boosts would be fine, but imagine if Thor could toss his hammer through projectile to cause ground bounces, wall bounces, maybe crumples. If his toss isn’t fully charged imagine his hammer toss with the same properties as shield slash where the hammer hits then returns the opponent right into thors reach for a mighty hurricaine. Sure speed and reach boosts are great, but with zoning getting buffed and air dashes getting nurfed, Thor needs extra tools to help get in and get through projectiles. His hammer is a godly tool!
My Thor puts in work, too, but like you said, the hammer toss would merely be an extra tool. Speed/priority boosts on his moves are essential. He’s needed that from the get go, and he’ll need that even more in ultimate. Giving him something new wouldn’t do anything to help him out where he needs help, it’d be sugarcoating the problem, giving him something flashy over something substantial, so yeah, I can definitely imagine Thor having a hammer throw. It’d be nice to throw out on reaction to a projectile coming his way, but you know what’d be better? Mighty Strike doing that too, y’know, like it’s supposed to do, or being able to punish a blatantly unsafe move the opponent does with a normal like every other character in the game without having to worry about getting punished yourself because his moves take so long to start up with and even longer to recover from. When that’s taken care of, then I’d be willing to look at some extra stuff.
Yeah true, I guess I want both, I don’t want to have to choose. He does need more overall though. Like u mentioned a faster mighty strike where he could punish projectiles on reaction would tremendously enhance his game. More priority on his mighty smash, and frame 1 invulnerability on mighty punish (a way to otg or a crumple effect afterwards would be nice, I tend to only use this move when I for swag purposes only because mighty huricaine potentially leads to much more damage). I hope the buffs they gave him are true, I also hope he also gets a hammer throw special… It’s more likely for that to happen than for marvel to replace mighty thunder with a hammer throw super that plows through everything including beam supers, and causes crumple… Perhaps a hammer throw super that bounces around the screen like a maximum wesker type of super, but I know this is a dream
I play Thor because I like and enjoy using him, not to win. So if it came down to a choice, I would choose flashy moves everyday.
I choose him because I read and enjoy Thor comics. But I much rather the character get the proper respect he deserves being in this game and be viable with the rest of the cast. If you want him flashy and fun, I think playing Thor is his own game would suffice. I want him to mean something being in this game. Not just for fun.
I play him because he was my third reason for getting this game anyways.
1st reason; Tony Stark
2nd reason; Steve Rogers
3rd reason; Thor Odinson (I said if they added Thor no matter how bad/good he was I’ll buy the game and main him)
4th reason; When you have all three of them on your team they say “Avengers Assemble”.
Not only that, but I enjoy his comics (Ages of Thunder was gdlk, need more suggestions for good Thor reads). I loved his movie and I can’t wait for his second one. He’s my third fav super hero and he’s one of the most powerful super heroes in the Marvel Uniserve, who can easily body Superman btw.
I think I’m most looking forward to seeing how long are his charge times, and frame 1 invincible Mighty Punish. I think the buff to mighty strike (I hope they didn’t leave the :l: severely negative on block still), will help him get past zoners, and it will potentially be a more versatile Charging Star (charging star can’t be done in the air, is VERY unsafe, and can’t go in different directions).
I play him for pretty much all those reasons. First and foremost, because of his comics. There are some really, really good Thor stories out there, and as such he’s one of my top 3 favorite Marvel characters. (Nova and Spider-Man are the others.) And he’s done some pretty good stuff in those stories (if you enjoyed Ages of Thunder, I suggest finishing off the trilogy and read Reign in Blood and Man of War), so I’d like to see him be better repped in the game. I also play him because I actually like the way he’s presented in the game. At first, I found it odd that they made him a grapple based character, but it kinda works. Outside of the hammer throw, and maybe a few more lightning bolts here an’ there, I really like his moveset. Mighty Smah is such a fun move to do, and if Mighty Thunder weren’t so bad, I’d say it would be my favorite hyper of his.
I totally agree on the “I say thee nay” sound clip LOL
alsoi DO NOT want thor to have a shield slash. Thor ALREADY HAS a projectile and DOES NOT NEED to be able to ALSO throw his hammer. get over yourselves please.
I get it, it’s part of his character, but in order to have it make sense it’d have to beat out every other projectile in the game, and if it actually combod like shield slash (which surely thor whiners would want) it would change how thor is played dramatically and change him into a far/mid range fighter - which is dumb for thor.
he HAS A VERY FAST PROJECTILE already AND ways of going THROUGH predicted projectiles.
anyway thor is tight - there isn’t a character in the game more satisfying to play and win with.
every reset feels so boss. LOL
When I said ages of thunder, I meant the ENTIRE story arc. I need some new Thor stuff, but I don’t know where to search. Needs moar suggestions bro.
At the very least say “HAVE AT THEE”. But didn’t you stop playing Thor gimpy for hulk. I haven’t seen any of your vids in the last 2-3 months apart from your combo video which featured Thor.
i dont play thor on my main team my secondary team is thor hulk iron man
but i play all 4 - my main team is cap/hulk/im
soon to be (likely) cap/hulk/hawkeye… but we’ll see! I’m gonna mess with all the avengers again and see what comes up - expect more videos when ultimate comes out i’ve been working on getting new capturing equipment and a new computer for a while so vids have been slow 
Oh, well I’m your guy for that.
[details=Spoiler]For starters, I’m gonna just go on an’ recommend the entirety of Dan Jurgen’s run on the title. Pretty much non-stop epic action with a pretty fun story to go along with it. Out of the run, the stories that particularly stood out the most would definitely be the time after Odin died and Thor got the Odinforce.
Death of Odin
Lord of Asgard
Gods on Earth
Spiral
Gods and Men
Really good stuff right there. Without spoiling too much, it’s basically about how Thor deals with Odin’s death, how he eventually accepts the responsibility of being the ruler of Asgard, and what he ultimately does as that ruler. And for good measure, you might as well read Ragnarok, too. It’s not written by Jurgen’s, but it’s still epic, and comes right after Gods and Men.
And following that, came along J Michael Straczynski. His run on the title really set up how he is currently, and it really did a good job developing his supporting characters. I remember it getting a lot of flack for it not being as epic and in your face action as the previous titles were about, but I personally thought it was a good direction for a more mature, less headstrong, still boss like Thor. Now, I could go on and on about this for a while, but I’ll leave you with that for now, and if you’ve read it already or want more, feel free to ask for more.
Oh, one more thing. He had the best Secret Invasion tie in ever.[/details]
