Great vid! I use Thor on point and I've seen a couple of setups I use in there and then some. Excellent. I was curious about your mighty hurricane setups. Did you use any particular version of them and when grounded were all of them Kara cancelled or were they just vanilla command throws?
This one doesn't have any karas. They're really just tick throws. As for the version, in the air I usually use the light version because it has more reach. Regular throws are 1 frame so I'll use light so I'm out of range for their regular throws.
I have been playing Thor since day 1, The thing I have most trouble with when playing Thor are his start up frames on his normal moves. They are so slow, so he is always getting beat out by people mashing Cr.L, I have real trouble with Dante, Zero and wesker players. They Have so much priority over Thor.
That's one o fthe reasons I play Tron's Gustaff Fire assist when I'm Tron. With Dante and Wesker...Thor's not the only one who has problems with them....everyone kinda does
In MvC3 it's any move that requires multiple hits to be stopped. Like Sentinel's crouching sweep or Hulk standing heavy. To stop those moves whatever it is needs to hit around 4-5 times before they flitch.
This video almost cry tears of joy. I will now go and learn Thor because of this video. And whats the song playing? It sounds like the intro from Soul Calibur 2, But I'm not sure.
I'm honestly not sure what to say about kara throws yet. I mean you probably have to have a working attack string with low fierce before that will work. I'm tryin to figure some things out. It would be great if his flight didn't take so long to start up or the lightning didn't miss crouchers. There's probably a mix up somewhere or it's gonna be one of those things where an assist is gonna make it easier. Just my opinion though, I don't kara much
One more thing I'd like to add, it's difficult doing resets on random players and lag online. It's best to check their habits after your first air combo to see what they do. Then decide to commit to air resets. It's why I use the Air combo I stated above because it eliminates the guessing and your tend to score resets or even catch mashers with a Mighty Tornado at 100% damage. I think im gonna pull out the ol crappy pinnical and recorde some stuff I found that might help. Thanks for the insprtin
I was at a local tournament this past weekend and yeah, you definetely have to gauge what people do. Against mashers I don't even attempt to reset with throw, I just dash at them attacking. Other then that, I really don't play online, the lag is annoying fortunetely I have enough people offline to play. Good stuff with Viper.
Good stuff im working on finding some time to do some videos to show some Thor stuff. I have some good ideas. Another good set up I found if you have Viper (An Assist and partner I highly recommned for Thor) is BnB into launcher, Air Combo + S, Viper Assist OTG ~ Mighty Smash B, S, M, M, Mighty Strike L (This is for Neutral or back recovery you can do a Mighty Smash immediatly after the Mighty Strike L without worry of timing after flight.
Seriously man you gave me a million Ideas Can't believe I didnt think to airdash and then command throw... Great strat gotta figure out which way opponent is going to recover but after that there in trouble lol.
Yeah. Generally speaking, if they're dashing away, use the light version of the command throw for the reach, and if you think they're gonna be close, use heavy for the speed. If you're fighting against a masher then instead of dashing and throwing, dash and attack. The only hard thing is knowing where they'll be and making sure your timing for the throws are on point. If you find out anything else though, spread the word. Using Thor gets difficult, every bit of info is important
I agree with the air options. It's good to mix it up on both ground and air resets. Ultimately, Thor's goal is to push them towards the edge, at which point it's entirely his domain.
I've been winning alot more since I've implementing your setups and Thor's triangle-dash-kara-commandgrab.
I need to start kara throwing more myself. I mean, I try to make sure the air Mighty Strike hits deep enough not to matter but sometimes I miss and end up bein out of throw range.
Pretty nice stuff I main thor and see quite a few things that I did not think about. Looks like youre catching them while still in block stun off mighty strike into the hurricane ill test it out in the lab.
Kinda. If you're talkin about on the ground, then it's trying as best you can to have perfect timing. The weak version of hurricane has 5 frames of start up. The air hurricane puts Thor at plus 5 frames when blocked. So I'm trying to have the throw come out as soon as block stun has ended. It's like buffering throws in Tekken and Street Fighter IV. Same principle with the air stuff.
I agree
