Alas, you still always see Thor in nearly every team comp. In the mid-game, sure. Once you progress beyond 2*s then you stop seeing him much. Even when I was still using mostly 2*s I stopped using him in favor of Wolverine because Wolverine provides a MUCH faster kill rate since you don't need to use health packs. This was before the C Storm change though. I used Thor during The Hunt because of the boost, but in cases where he's not boosted I don't think I've used him in 3 weeks or so.

His offense is respectable but nothing similar characters can't do, and Wolverine lasts longer in most practical situations. Now that I learned to stop getting into cascade wars with the AI, Thor is actually quite easy to shutdown.
- Thor has noticed that his Thunder Strike was striking Green tiles when this is plainly an excessive use of power. He has remedied this and will no longer change Green tiles to Green tiles.

It's like going to a 90s arcade, stepping up to SF2, and playing that one kid who does nothing but throw hadoukens (Ryu/Ken's fireball, for the unitiated) over and over and over again. And then realizing he has infinite quarters and he's the only one in the arcade and his mom has given him a case of Coke and a lunchbox full of ritalin. Please, please, could one of the devs nerf the God of Dunder solely so we can have a bit more variety in PvP? I will send you my firstborn or my sole functioning kidney, whichever you prefer. I would love to see one of the worthless characters like Loki get a third power that does something like reverse the damage (or absorb the AP) of cascade combos, specifically to MESS WITH THOR. Then anybody that chooses to use Ye Olde Goldylocks would face an equally immeasurably annoying counter. Feel free to sound off if you'd like to join my I Hate Thor club (heretofore known as 'The Thor Loothers') (Actually, a more apt SF2 comparison would be Guile's Sonic Boom into Flash Kick, since that was the ideal endless cheap combo, but I was trying to make my post title work)
