Thor and Amaterasu are the latest characters to be profiled on Marvel.com by Sumoslamman. As with past showdown spolight articles, you get to see an overview of both characters, including some notes on their play styles. Here's a clip.
Thor's Play Style: Thor needs to get in close to do damage but when he gets in there, watch out! Mighty Strike and Mighty Smash can help him close the distance while attacking and if Mighty Smash connects, you get a free ground bounce for free punishment. His Mighty Tornado command grab can be comboed out of into some terrifying aerial shenanigans but the trick is landing that first hit. His 8-way air dash can be canceled, helping to surprise enemies, and his Mighty Thunder hyper is incredibly versatile, giving Thor an edge in any combo situation.
Amaterasu's Play Style: Amaterasu has so many options in this game it’s ridiculous! She has three different sets of normal attacks to keep your opponents guessing, and each comes with its own unique special move. Ammy can play keep-away with her Cold Star projectile and the long reach of her Rosary Bead normals or dash in with the Reflector or the Glaive to start some combo action into OTG into hyper madness. Her instant full screen Okami Shuffle does great damage and her tiny hit box causes tons of normals, specials and hypers to go right over her head!
From shannaro!!!.
all i need is some time in training mode using thor to make mine gdlk
(Why did Thor steal Storm's moveset? I sense some jealousy :P...
BTW Thor is a part of team Old School:
Thor
Arthur
...Bah!?!?! Who's the third member!)
What's funny about this is that the folks @ Marvel.com are some fanboys. Trust me, go on the showdown link.
@Okay
Stamina is not the end all be all of game balance for god's sake. Thor is slow and has a hard time connecting his grab, he get's high stamina. Ammy has great rushdown a ton of options, and a tiny hit box, she gets lower health.
Don't forget that Ammy also has a counter move with her reflector which will make her piledrive her enemies into oblivion.
As for her powers in the Two Worlds, Ammy can manipulate the elements around her with her celestial brush, every lighting attacka and wind attack can be redirected back at thor at will. Also Ammy is very quick and nimble, add Mist to the equation and Thor is gonna have a tough battle. Do not underestimate this wolf goddess.
Ammy has more rushdown and shenanigans so her ATW!!!!!
