xShonuffx wins April Marvel vs. Capcom 3 guide competition with Thor article

Posted by Catalyst — April 17, 2011 at 1:24 a.m. PDT

xShonuffx has won the first Marvel vs. Capcom 3 guide competition here on EventHubs with this Thor submission and takes home the $50 prize for April.

You'll find a breakdown of Thor's specials, hypers and lots more information to help you pick up and learn this character.

Another $50 prize will be awarded to the best overall guide for the month of May as well, so you can hit the forums and start working on your submissions now. Also, this competition has been opened up, and now anyone can create a guide for their favorite character(s).

Please use the subject Forum_Username's MvC3 guide for Character. For example, in xShonuffx's case, his post is titled: xShonuffx's MvC3 guide for Thor. This will make it easier to keep track of the guides on the various character sections, as those areas will collect other posts as well, besides guide submissions.

This competition will last for a ways into the future, but the same person who's won once before can't win again for awhile, but later on down the road, an even bigger overall prize will be handed out, and everyone will be eligible for this.

Here's a grab from xShonuffx's Thor guide.

Thor is a mobile powerhouse Tank who is able to deal an insane amount of damage with short and simple combos. He is perfect for players who want a no-nonsense, straight to the point damage dealer. He is a grappler and is able to do his command grab both on the ground and in the air. He is able to fly which is rare for a grappler. He even has an 8 - way dash rivaling even that of some of the faster 8 way dash characters. As of after the Sentinel Patch he has the highest health in the game. His Hypers all do good damage and can be set up for nice DHC set ups. even as a back up or anchor, Thor is a great addition to anyone's team.

Lastly, big shout outs go to Zombiebrian for not only coming up with this idea, but also contributing to the prize package.

Congrats xShonuffx! Great guide too been wanting to pick up Thor.

SnakeX said on April 17, 2011 at 2:02 a.m.

Congratulations xShonuffx, hopefully your guide leads to more people giving Thor a chance.
After browsing through your write up, it's clear that you have a vast knowledge of Thor in MvC3 and that you deserved the win. :)

duckmouth said on April 17, 2011 at 2:07 a.m.

Well done. xShonuffx is a great contributor in general discussions on Eventhubs, reflected in the time he has taken to produce this guide.

So can people put ones now? Can I put up a M.O.D.O.K. or is it too soon?

You can fire away

Shout out to xShonuffx and congrats on the win. You've done Thor proud; I hope he'll shine more with the help of your guide.

Nice work xShonuffx! You deserve it. But don't tell me you used the BradyGames guide for it. Lol, joking ;D

#12

xShonuffx said on April 17, 2011 at 6:27 a.m.

@12 lol actually just for the frame data, and numbers yes but much of the statagies and tips is just through experience and web searching and a lot of Thor gameplay.

@11 I hope so, since after the guide i've been playing Thor more than my main team, he is a lot of fun when you use him right. You just got to get use to him. It will probably be awhile but I think sooner or later someone will unlock his hidden potential, a lot has been unlocked so far.

Congrats! Hope you guys keep doing this, it's a great way to get the regulars around here more involved.

I read that thoroughly! Great stuff. Needs more combos. And ways to get in.

(And here I thought Thor couldn't win anything :P

All jokes aside, might read this - need a 3rd when I return to MVC3)

@Hakansoilbarrel

I've asked you before but received no answer, so I'll ask again: what's with the brackets??

Congrats. He pulled off an amazing guide. It was very well done.

Was he the only one who entered? That's some terrible writing up there. I mean even if you could get past the poorly constructed sentences, the guy has a glaring error in his intro paragraph. This is like middle school writing.

#19

JanTheMan said on April 17, 2011 at 9:29 a.m.

@17 ( ) = Parenthesis

#20

duckmouth said on April 17, 2011 at 9:49 a.m.

@20

I'm not American, Jan. We call them brackets in the UK. Keep your f*cking 'corrections' to yourself in future.

#21

@21
That doesn't change that fact that you were wrong. They're called parenthesis.

#22

50Sent said on April 17, 2011 at 9:53 a.m.

@21
Also you forgot a 'the' between 'in' and 'future'.

#23

duckmouth said on April 17, 2011 at 10:11 a.m.

I didn't forget anything, the way I wrote it is fine. And no, I'm not wrong, they are brackets in the UK. Just like we spell 'tire' tyre, 'color' colour and so on.

If you are going to attempt to be a smartass and call someone out on their spelling, you might want to make sure yours is perfect first. 'Parentheses' is the correct pluralisation of parenthesis. Oh, and before you make a bigger idiot of yourself, we spell 'pluralisation' with an 's', not a 'z'.

#24

@24
What? When did I ever critique your spelling? You were using the wrong words, and you left some out. Learn the English language, idiot. Also you accidentally spelled pluralization 'pluralisation'. Why don't you proof read your comments next time? Also I'm glad you admitted that they are, in fact, called parenthesis.

#25

duckmouth said on April 17, 2011 at 10:49 a.m.

Did you even read my last comment you retard? Read it again, properly, and look at how stupid your response was.

#26

Remster said on April 17, 2011 at 10:49 a.m.

Parentheses (singular, parenthesis) – also called simply brackets (UK)

Don't tell me that you're the type that would yell at Tokido if he called akuma gouki

#27

Remster said on April 17, 2011 at 10:51 a.m.

oh he's just a troll, forget about it :P

#28

duckmouth said on April 17, 2011 at 10:52 a.m.

Thank you Remster! Can you believe how idiotic comment 25 is?

"Oh, and before you make a bigger idiot of yourself, we spell 'pluralisation' with an 's', not a 'z'."

His response:

"Also you accidentally spelled pluralization 'pluralisation'."

Unbelievable.

#29

@29
Pick up a dictionary, search for 'pluralisation'. You won't find anything because it's not a real word. Maybe you should check over your own comments before you start calling other people idiots, idiot.

50Sent and Duckmouth, OK, that's enough of that. If you guys want to take to attacking each other, do it via PMs or something else.

#32

duckmouth said on April 17, 2011 at 11:10 a.m.

Yes, I just picked up a UK dictionary and, shockingly, it's spelt 'pluralisation'. Guess what? It also includes TYRE, COLOUR, and NEIGHBOUR. What am I trying to explain to you is that we in the UK spell some words differently than people in the US. Not incorrectly, DIFFERENTLY. We also have different words to describe the same things. We call 'diapers' nappies, 'gas' petrol, and 'parentheses' brackets.

This is the last I will post on this topic, regardless of how retarded your future responses are. Accept you are wrong, learn from it, and think twice before you correct anyone else.

#33

duckmouth said on April 17, 2011 at 11:11 a.m.

Sorry Catalyst, your response wasn't there when I wrote comment 33. As you can see, I was aware that we were detracting from the real purpose of the thread.

#34

50Sent said on April 17, 2011 at 11:15 a.m.

Wow, you knew you were detracting from the real purpose of the thread, and you still posted that? Are you TRYING to get banned? Also, UK dictionaries aren't real dictionaries, that goes without saying.

(Uh......whoops? I use parenthesis like thought bubbles, if there's no parenthesis then Hakan is saying it. Didn't think it would cause such a fuss o-0

Mainly because there's no italicization for comments.)

Relax guys, relax. This is not an English language forum. Be cool ;)

I wish SRK's mega guide has nearly as much information as this. Is there any chance that they will integrate your guide into theirs?

These comments are hilarious. Congrats to xShonuffx though.

#40

Good guide. Too bad the comments are filled with obnoxious bickering.

#41

xShonuffx said on April 18, 2011 at 4:26 a.m.

@50Sent #19 I wasn't gonna say anything until I seen your rant about grammar with other people. I appreciate the feedback but could you be a bit more respectful when doing so? No body is perfect and the guide can be changed at anytime to make it better but simply dissing me and my educational background which you know nothing about is'nt gonna help me, the guide or the community improve and get better.

I am aware the paragraph is clearly in roughdraft mode and that is because the guide is not completly finished, even though I won the contest. I have more stuff to contribute but due to school and life, some things have to take a backseat. Still I appreciate Catalyst for the reward and I plan to keep it up to date the best I can.

Not trying to be funny, but I think it's just petty to disrespect people for something that could have been a positive critical feedback but instead was trolling at it's best (or worst).

As for everyone else, thanks for your feedback and respect, I do appreciate it.

xShonuffx said on April 18, 2011 at 4:35 a.m.

@39 Thats a great compliment because i've seen the mega guide and thought it was pretty good. I think one of the problems with guides like these is that if a character is not remotley popular at first, the lack of content and contribution suffers. Thats why we find more stuff on Magneto, Doom, and other characters because these are the characters that get played the most so by nature the community just starts to find things. The latest information (Not confirmed) I found out from the SRK forums is that Mighty Strike may has armor properties but im still testing that out. To me it just seems like it just has a lot of active frames and a big hit box.

Congratz Nuffxx...I looked it over a day before the contest ended, and I figured you was going to win it. I should've added more frame data to my Storm FAQ!
