Thor Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Moves, Combos, Strategy Guide

Character Overview

This guide is not complete, please check back for new information over time.

Thor is grapple based brawler character that also has an 8-way air dash which gives him good mobility when he jumps. People have often compared him to Zangief and Colossus in the early builds of Marvel vs. Capcom 3.

He does A LOT of damage and can keep his opponent locked down when they're cornered. Thor isn't the most complicated character on the roster, as his overall game is fairly straight forward.

You'll want to be in your opponent's face whenever possible — so you can land his Might Smash command grab, but it can be difficult to get there because Thor is a bit slower than your average character.

Word on the street and from the videos is Thor is a very poor combatant at the moment. He does good damage and all, but just has trouble initiating combat and actually staying in there. Hell, even the devs can't seem to play him right, he's always getting his bum kicked even with his makers at the helm.

Shame, Thor has deserved a spot in the MvC roster for a long time... hopefully his deserved time in the spotlight isn't offset by being painfully low tier.

^ Word! In addition to his 8-way air dash, he needs to have the ability to fully fly. The developers should take this into account in order to be true to the character. This should give him more mobility in the game imo.
