Marvel VS Capcom: Infinite/Thor

Thor

The Thunder God is back! Wielding his mighty hammer Mjolnir, Thor flies into the battlefield to take on the two universes mightiest foes.

In a nutshell
To those familiar with Thor from the last game will find that he has been revamped and quite possibly better than before. What makes him stand out is his mobility as it is now on par with everyone else and gives him a much needed speed boost to get things done. Though he no longer has a beam attack, he now has the ability to his hammer and destroy projectiles along the way. He has new hammer attacks which can pair nicely with a team mate as well as strong resets to keep the opponent guessing. Use Thor if you like a health character with strong mobility and attacks.

Doesn't push Thor back on block and it cannot be push blocked by the enemy or reflected. Mjolnir goes away when Thor is hit and it will nullify all projectiles, including hypers.

		300x3 (870)		11	25	13			Proj
		300x3 (870)		18	35	3			Proj
	His best air special overall, covers a wide range and Thor falls during this move. The descent during Mighty Spark allows Thor to cover ground safely and use it with air dashes to pressure the opponent. Using short hop sparks can be a very strong option and offers enough hitstun to confirm. Causes no push back on block and cannot be push blocked.

Mighty Hurricane or	Version	Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On Hit	On Block	Properties
		1500	Throw	6	2	33	+97	+97	Throw Groundbounce
		2400	Throw	16	2	38	+109	+109	Throw Groundbounce
	Uses up ground bounce and turns follow up into a hard only. Hitstun will deteriorate fast and follow ups are best with tags. version allows Thor to follow up with an Air Combo, however version pretty much requires a tag-in to work. In the corner you can reliably do a jumping Mighty Strike HK and create a opportunity.

Air Mighty Hurricane or	Version	Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On Hit	On Block	Properties
		1500	Throw	6	2	38			Throw Groundbounce
		2400	Throw	2	2	42			Throw Groundbounce
	Uses up ground bounce and turns follow up into a hard only. Much like the ground version, hitstun will deteriorate quickly. The version has a ton of range at 6f but the at 2f is faster than a 3f normal grab.

Mighty Smash (can be charged) or	Version	Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On Hit	On Block	Properties
		1200 / 1000+1350 (2350)	High	37 / 76	3 / 4(1)9	30 / 24	+59 / +84	-1 / -13	Groundbounce Hardknockdown; Armored while charging

	Hold or to charge the attack and gain armor, has armor without charge. Armor start up is fairly quick, still need data. 2nd image is the ending hitbox from a full charge only, and hitboxes are the same with traveling higher and further.

Mighty Strike (air only) (can be charged) or	Version	Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On Hit	On Block	Properties
		1000 / 1500		20 / 35	15 / 15	10 / 10			Armored Wallbounce on full charge
		1000 / 1500		20 / 35	10 / 15	14 / 9			Armored Hardknockdown on full charge
	Can be charged and gains full hyper armor which can even beat hyper attacks, automatically cancels out of flight. Uncharged creates a special known as a "forced tech" where the opponent can only tech in two directions, neutral or air creating a 50/50 Oki. If the opponent tries to roll, they will go into a slow stand that is susceptible to a Thor meaty set up, however the opponent can hold and tech in the air. There is no difference in the hitboxes for full charge strikes, however the version gains 5 active frames.

Mighty Blow or	Version	Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On Hit	On Block	Properties
		900	High	21	3	37	+79	-14	Wallbounce
		1500	Low	31	3	39	+38	-21	Armored Hardknockdown
	This move is good in conjunction with tags where you can create hard to blockable situations where your tagging in character goes High or Low. Despite it's looks the long range attack of the version is a physical hit.

Flight (air OK)	Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On Hit	On Block	Properties
			149	0	0
	Puts Thor into Flight mode, ideal for run away tactics. Gains an additional air dash after exiting flight. Unfly has 1f recovery. Air version has same frame data.

	300x14 (3560)		23	79	58	+99	-27	Proj
	Thors main hyper attack, on block it will pull opponent in and out of the tornado, ideal for setting up mix ups in the corner. Air version has same frame data.

Mighty Punish	Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On Hit	On Block	Properties
	1000+3150 (4150)	Throw	6	1	40	+19	+19	Throw Hardknockdown
	Invincible frames 1-6, cannot combo after even if you tagged a character in on the same frame. Best not to tag in as Thors recovery becomes worse and setting up an effective meaty is beyond difficult.

God of Thunder (Level 3)	Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On Hit	On Block	Properties
	1000+450+1200+1560+1500 (5710)		21	2	66	+47	-48	Hardknockdown
