He realy does remind me of Q from sf3 third strike in a way
@#2
Yea he has alot of Q's normals, s.mp but with the rocket launcher, c.mk, F+HK thrust boot, c.HP but with the launcher.
Similar crouch animation, nemesis blocks with his face and Q parry with his lolol. Q's ex dash punch does a wall bounce like nemesis current one. And of course the punch super they both have. Yea many similarities, but probably due to the fact they fight like untamed brutes so it should be expected.
Geez, is that ugly lifebar really staying for the final build of the game? there was nothing wrong with the old lifebars or the look of x factor. they should have used that time to add more characters, you know, the kind that people actually wanted, to the game.
I seen a few UMvC3 videos in You Tube and I encountered something interesting. The game logo pops up along with the "Press Any Button" phrase, The word "Ultimate" is lightning, the blue border around the character select screen's book, and Nemesis and Dr. Strange was added to UMvC3's "Thank You for Playing" nag. But what does the blue border mean?
@5 They said it was finalized but that does'nt mean we are seeing the final look at least it hasn't been made officialy by witness accounts. It may appear later, these character trailers were probably done before the change including the current build. We still have 3 months left before release.
As for the X-Factor I actually hated the way it looked before. It was difficult to tell if your opponent or yourself had X-factor. I like here you can see at least.
Hmm i wonder if that hawkeye poison arrow is based of percentage or if it takes off a fix amount over time for everyone. looks great eitherway, last time ive seen a poison type move in a fighter it lasted until the person gotten to about like 15% health(even on the last boss). That lead to some fun results cheaping out the npc.
I wonder if thor has gotten any armored moves yet, his normals was slow and generally unsafe and command grabs have poor ranges. nemesis looks to outshine thor in most departments except the air mobility.
Seeing as how Ghost Rider p!sses out flames in the new GR movie, will we be seeing that as a new Hyper Combo, I hope so!
@#10
Wow dude, try spending more than 20 seconds for a reply. Just cause he can tri dash dont mean he shouldnt have any armored moves or something to help his crappy normals.
everyone knows he can kara throw, doesnt make it any good really in application compared to others. I was comparing thor to other people not as a stand alone. Plus that same kara grab doesnt work for his air version where most of the resets are at so its moot point. thor ground game is poor so setting up that kara grab usually doesnt happen as he cant threaten anyone on the ground outside the grab.
Ive been playing thor since release, spent way more than 20 seconds on him. But its pretty bad where there are characters nearly better than him on all fronts. Really no incentive to use him. Only other heavy hitter without armored normals is haggar, but atleast his normals, pipes, specials moves, assist, combo potential arent all barebones and crappy like thor. who can barely extend his combos even with an assist due to the huge hit scaling he causes.
And yet after all these news and what not, nothing was said about thor. Not even hints of a new move. Even hulk got one and i would say hulk is much better than thor have a good assist, ground game, gamma crush, and faster threaten projectile. All thor got is a ghetto tri dash with the lingering elbow and you just fish to land that or get nothing at all usually.
Thor is one of those characters you have to build your team around. Put she hulk,wesker, or deadpool on his team and you can do a lot of damage. She hulks low hitting assist with thors air attacks and you will have many unblockable set ups. Or you can send out the assist and bate them to jump and hit them with a command grab. With wesker you can do the same but faster. Or use his assist to extend your combo dealing more damage.
i dont comment much but if you think thor is alright your trippin almost every other character got more options to open you up and can do so with greater ease than thor.........he is a god and shoud be represented as so ...go play mugen thor to see what he should sorta be like .....its crazy to say that he is good compared to the other characters in the game that do not deserve to be beastier than thor
Thor is ok to me,he has his traits,but i definetely agree he needs more buffs.Along with Arthur and Viewtiful Joe(he doesnt even have a level 3 hyper).
@#14
yea anyone would be good if you fitted the team to suit that one on point character. Like modok you need to have 2 great assists to help cover his weaknesses and its still not enough most of the time compared to others.
I already addressed the same issues in my post about his options. All he have is the tri dash attack and command grab even with great assist coverage. Dont worry though i have my own weird team set up for thor, but i dont have it all focusing on thor.
One of the set up i use is thor/haggar/skrull. Haggar assist allows thor to use his charged mighty smash off the hard KD or force people to crouch under the assist and go for kara throw instead.
Decent trap imo works for skrull too with his many option to otg and command grab.
Skrull stone smite helps thor and haggar with otg and a big hitbox coverage for moving in on the ground.
Thors might spark assist helps both haggar and skrull with making people want to crouch under it for more grab set ups(traps for all 3 command grabbers) and getting in with beam coverage as a ghetto doom beam assist for mix ups.
Skrull has trickery and can utilize both assists for whatever he needs done. Trick people into think if they have to block or not with haggar assist covering meteor smashes( if they try to block haggar assist im safe, if they try to crouch it they tend to get hit or get command grabbed)
Every member can use each other in the same fashion, so the team is balanced in that way. Haggar can set up dhc glitch for thor or skrull. Skrull good at killing meter and being able to dhc from anyone. Thor can play the ghetto keep away with stone smite allowing him to tri dash in and combo off the wall bounce from near full screen.
Just thor needs some help so he doesnt have to be so reliant on assists.
Hmm, Nemesis might be better than I thought he was. His range in command grabs kinda make up for his speed and mixup potential.
