Character Discussion: THOR

THOR
(Name: Thor Odinson)
One of the most prominent members of the Avengers and the Norse God of Thunder. Thor is the son of Odin, the chief god of Asgard. With the power to manipulate weather, he can wield any atmospheric phenomenon much greater than that of Storm. He is adventurous and self-centered during his youth along with his adopted brother, Loki. During his adult years he received the Mjolnir as a gift from his father but due to his brashy attitude and the cause of conflict with the Frost-Giants, Odin forced his son to live with humans to learn humility, kindness, and responsibility. 
Alongside Iron Man and Captain America, he now joins the Avengers to fight for peace from evil menace like his brother Loki, the God of Mischief.

GAMEPLAY

Thor, as he is a God, has the highest vitality in the game with 1,250,000 HP. He is a true hard hitter due to his high health value but slow mobility and deals one of the highest damage potentials in the game. He also has one of the most powerful special moves and hyper combos in the game. Mighty Speech is one of his unique special moves that allows him to build hyper meter for further use of his team. 

SPECIAL MOVES 

(Thor does not have any Command Normals)

• Mighty Spark - Thor's main beam projectile. He uses his hammer, Mjolnir to shoot a bolt of lightning to the opponent. The actual charge of the hammer can eventually hit the opponent but due to his height, some characters can actually crouch on the beam
• Mighty Smash - Thor jumps with his hammer in the air and smash the opponents in the ground. The move can be charged to deal greater damage. The heavy version of this move hits OTG and is a good combo ender before cancelling into a super move
• Mighty Strike - Thor charges with his hammer and strikes forward or any forward angle he chooses. The charge version of this move can nullify projectiles
• Mighty Hurricane - Thor's command throw. He grabs his opponent and spins around in the air before slamming them with his hammer. This move can ground bounce the opponent right after it finishes making it useful at extending combos
• Mighty Speech - Thor's unique meter building speech. He taunts with a golden, heavenly aura and starts his speech. The full length of the speech actually builds an approximate three levels of hyper meter
• Flight - Thor enters flight mode with the aid of his mastery over the wind

HYPER COMBOS

MIGHTY PUNISH (Level 1 Hyper Combo) - Thor's hyper combo command grab. He grabs his opponent and uses his hammer to launch them in the air and then comes back to the ground and strikes with a thunder bolt. Since this is a throw hyper combo, it only affects grounded opponents. This move is also great in a Delayed Hyper Combo.

MIGHTY THUNDER (Level 1 Hyper Combo) - Thor's best hyper inside of combos due to its OTG capabilities. He uses his hammer Mjolnir and channels his thunder nature to perform a shockwave pillars coming from the ground. This move does four pillars of thunder.

MIGHTY TORNADO (Level 1 Hyper Combo) - Due to his mastery over the weather, he calls forth a lightning tornado within himself and deals damage to the opponent. This move is another great combo ender after an OTG Mighty Smash.

PERSPECTIVE TOWARDS THE CHARACTER

Thor is definitely a powerhouse character both having high vitality and high damage output and only lacks on foot speed. He has normals and special move for all occasion giving him lots of options on the field. He is also great in mid-air special when in flight mode which gives him more mobility than on the ground. He makes his flight mode so useful due to his command grab being able to perform in mid-air. The God of Thunder now arrives in the big stage of Marvel Vs. Capcom battlefield. Would you want to swing with him and his hammer Mjolnir? :)
