Captain America vs. Thor

This is not a fight to determine the winner, since we all know that Thor wins. This thread is to discuss how long Cap can last against Thor and how much of a fight will he be able to put up. After all, IM was able to hang with Thor for a bit and Cap was able to give IM a bit of trouble.

The rules are thus:

Cap is armed with his shield for all rounds. Both Cap and Thor have full knowledge of each other's capabilities.

Round 1: Thor is unarmed and limited to h2h combat.
Round 2: Thor has Mjolnir but is limited to melee attacks
Round 3: Thor has Mjolnir and is going all out


Each round is 3 minutes long. If Cap can last for 3 minutes he wins that round. Does he have a chance?

Psychotron
Nope.

K-Dog
If he can keep Thor from actually grabbing (and therefore taking) the shield, then yes due to shield's shock absorption qualities (with Caps agility letting him move and dodge enough as well). But I doubt he can stop Thor from grabbing the shield for that long. And of course this is only for scenario one.

Well to be clear, I don't want Cap to go all Mayweather and just run around, dodging Thor and trying to survive the round. Both of them are giving their all in the fight. Which means Cap will need to deliver blows as well.

KingD19
If Cap has trouble with Loki. The most he does is like turns Thor's head and get a smile from him. But he is not going to be more than an annoyance.

TheVaultDweller
Yeah, Loki was tossing Cap around with embarrassing ease. Even if we take into account that Cap has improved some since then, he'd still get his ass handed to him here. Like I could literally see Thor just yanking the shield out of his hands and smacking him over the head with it.

Sable
Seems spite in all 3 rounds. Someone really hates Captain America.

But that's literally the only way he'll last longer than 5 seconds.

as much as I love Cap, I just don't see how he can win

Wasn't it argued on the board at some point, or am I misrecalling, that Cap given his Super Serum, is also at status quo? So since Cap is always at his peak, there is no difference between the Captain America we see in the first movie, and the Captain America we see in the Civil War in regards to what feats they should be able to perform?

Thor crushed Tony's armor pre-IM3 nerf. H2H he has zero chance.

Round 2 is probably Steve's best chance, Thor did down himself (and a forest) by stupidly hitting the shield. It would give Steve a chance to stick and move.

Round 3 is like fighting a giant vacuum with a bug zapper inside it.

Yeah, but at a later point Chris Evans himself came out and said that Cap improves as the films go on, which muddles that whole point. And even if we assume his stats stayed the same, his actual H2H abilities and mastery over what he is capable of very clearly improves as the films progress. For example, if let's say that in CA:TFA or The Avengers he physically had the capability to pull of the CA:TWS quinjet kill, in terms of pure stats, it doesn't mean he would have had the skill and finesse required to pull it off. If you give someone the exact same physical stats as a heavyweight UFC champion, it doesn't mean they'd be able to stalemate them in a fight. They'd still need the training and experience that goes along with the physical capabilities.

Sable
Cap gets crushed in a stupid mismatch.

I was one of those who brought up that point but have since then changed my stance. I still believe that Cap is at his physical peak, that he doesn't get stronger or faster in each successive movie. However, I do think he gains better skill and experience and thus is able utilize his enhanced physicality a lot more efficiently.

For example, I think he's just as strong in CW as he was in TFA, but I do think he has learned to fight a lot better and has learned to utilize his strength and speed to perform more agile movements.

Cap could definetly last more than 3 mins. There is practically no way Thor can pen that shield.

Darth Thor
Urm... Pull it off him, with his superior strength.

Shoot him in the legs...

Whip him up in a tornado...

Cap certainly survives the H2H and the Strikes. Cap is still a better fighter than Thor. Surely he would dodge/block the hits.

The tornado is a good one. However Cap would still block the impact. Also the Tornado takes time, Cap only needs 3 mins.

Inhuman
Thor can basically stand there with his arms crossed and Cap wouldn't be able to harm him.

Well, Loki was getting beaten by Cap. So isnt' like Thor can just stand there inmune to Cap's attacks.

Loki himself was unharmed by Cap's blows.

Thor has taken serious hits by the Hulk and didn't die.

John Murdoch
Thor got his head pounded into the ground by Hulk in Grandmaster's arena until a plot point vision in his head unlocked his super saiyan powers. That did all of nothing; no lasting damage or even a scratch.

Cap is doing all of jack squat to Thor, especially after Ragnarok.

Thor grabs Cap's shield, smirks, and throws Cap into the sky whether Cap is still holding onto the shield or not.

He didn't die. Dying and being harmed aren't synonyms.

Thor ain't a Juggernaut! A punch from Cap will be felt.

I do believe Thor would defeat Cap, but not in 3 mins, that's irrational.

The only chance Thor has of defeating Cap within the 3 mins is IF Thor manages to remove Caps shield.

But again, why should Cap allow that? Cap is still the better fighter.

Otherwise not even lightning should do damage. The Shield is still>> any power we've seen so far.

...You mean Thor hasn't done anything impressive without powers..

Even without powers Cap still knows how to fight. Thor is a great fighter, but he relies more on powers.

Yes i have. Still how will Thor damage Cap exactly? The shield would still tank the blow! And the Shockwave of such an impact would still send both of them flying away like in Avengers.

So??

Wasn't the Destroyer able to shoot at Thor? Also, the destroyer was defeated not only due to the impact of Mjolnir but also due to the heat of it's beam.

And cap would have beaten the crap out of that guy way way faster with the same level of strength and just his abilities!

Thor isn't the best fighter in the MCU!

With powers Thor is the top gun, otherwise he ain't.

Your own link: 1. To deliver a violent and prolonged physical attack. This phrase can be used both literally and hyperbolically.

I never stated it literal.

The fact is that Thor had issues with a single big shield agent who isn't even considered a top fighter.

So again, Thor aint the best MCU fighter. Period.

The Hammer already possesses magic regardless of being charged.

Thor didn't summon lightning on his hammer before striking the shield, therefore it ain't charged.

Stop your trolling please.

Silent Master
Lightning coming from the hammer shows that it's charged. where the lightning came from doesn't change that fact.

No. To charge the hammer means that Thor summons a lightning along with the impact force of the hammer.

It aint the same.

Both in Jutonheim and in Sukovia Thor summoned it.

Silent Master
You don't get to define what qualifies as a charged hammer strike.

Let's see:

Cap threw his shield at Loki, punched him twice and kicked him... none of which could even budge Loki enough to make him step back.

In comparison, Loki hit Cap twice and completely floored him. Hit him hard enough that Cap was unable to immediately get up. And Loki hadn't even gotten to using his illusions or knives.

How exactly was Cap beating Loki?

Loki was floored by the shield. Ain't like Loki was toying him neither.

The thing is that if Loki felt Cap's attacks then Thor should too. Am not arguing that Cap defeats Loki in a combat.

Basically even Loki can tak out Cap in under 30seconds.

So we can only speculate how many seconds Cap would last against Thor - not very many.

Thor is superior to Loki due to raw power. Not that Thor is more agile or a smarter fighter.

Not ludicrous but not entirely untrue. Loki is more agile and more dextrous, nimble as well. In comicsworld and the people who argue it looking cool,spinny,flashy stuff=skill.

I think they are both equally skilled specifically to their own natural abilities.

Equalized stats- Loki vs. Thor in a knife fight. Whose winning?

Same as above. Large Warhammer

Weapon of choice can play a role in the perception of skill as well. Even without the worthy enchantment a Mjolnir like battle hammer would probably weigh 30 lbs? Maybe more? I couldn't imagine a more difficult, cumbersome weapon to use in a melee, the skill imo would be somehow not getting tagged by your opponent 5-6 times in between swings.

Knives, looks cooler for obvious reasons. Looking cool = skill. ( I would bring 2 12 inch blades to a fight before I'd ever bring a sledgehammer.)

Watch Thor easily take out Shield Agents with no powers.

Watch Thor dodg and evade all of Hulks hits, including ducking back when that Jet wing was thrown at him, and then tell me with a straight face that Loki is faster, more nimble and a better combatant.

FYI Thor tells Loki in TDW that he always went easy on him.

Again with the Shield agents!?

Those shield agents are not even consider high elite fighters! And yet Thor struggled with a fat big unknown guy!

Loki is a better fighter than Thor, and so is Cap.

Thor only ever used his powers on Loki once and it was in response to Loki using his powers of illusion.

That said, I rewatched the 2 Thor vs. Loki fights and you might have a point. In their first fight, Loki did land way more hits on Thor. Though to be fair, Thor was very reluctant to fight Loki.

Their 2nd fight was more even, with Loki dodging more hits whereas Thor blocked more hits. Loki landed the first hits but Thor had better combinations.

It reinforces my point that Loki is the nimbler, more agile fighter but not necessarily the better fighter.

Thor is the big guy whereas Loki is the fastest and better fighter.

It's simple.

Thor can withstand a lot of punishment and deliver deadly blows. But Thor relies more on that than on combat abilities.

Why is Loki the better fighter? Just because he has fancier moves? If Loki chooses to dodge and Thor chooses to block, that doesn't make one fighter better than the other. It simply means they have different styles and techniques.

At this point it's near impossible to tell who's the better fighter between the two of them, since Thor doesn't go all out on Loki. Loki doesn't have the kind of fighting feats Thor does like blocking laser fire or dodging hits from Hulk.

The fairest assumption we can give is that they'r equally good fighters, with Loki being faster and Thor being stronger.

Are you sure Loki is more agile, emember in the last movie Thor did a jump spin move to avoid one of Hulk's attacks and on the bridge he did a move where he spun through the air like a top.

I don't recall Loki ever doing anything to match either of those.

See, you almost had me convinced that Loki is faster and nimbler, but then you had to go and ruin it with a statement like this: "In both cases Loki was beating Thor before he either used his powers or the battle was interrupted."

Uh, no, Loki was definitely not beating Thor. We both know that in a straight up h2h fight with no powers, Thor would beat Loki up.

You do realize that speed and agility are also physical stats right? So when you say "if stats were equalized" then you're basically also removing Loki's speed and agility advantage if there was any.

Not according to the tapes.

Thor had to fly to overpower Loki. In the second tape the Quinjet interrupted the fight, which by the way, Thor was losing.

So getting hit twice now constitutes to someone losing? Also it should be noted that Loki had started using firepower against Thor whereas Thor only stuck to melee.

In most if not all Martial Arts the one who hits the more is consider the better fighter. And by hit I mean hits that connect.

The videos are clear, Thor's power is what gives him the adv over Loki.

Silent Master
You're half-right, the videos are clear. Loki only does that well because Thor has always held back when fighting his brother.

Rage.Of.Olympus
How can Thor's skill as a fighter ever be contested, even against Loki, after the very first fight scene in Thor 1 and now in Thor Ragnarok where he was dominating the Hulk in weapons combat...

Silent Master
It's easy, all you have to do is ignore context. He attributes Loki doing well against Thor to Loki's skill, rather than to Thor holding back because they're brothers.

With Captain America shield with him, I think he can Fight with Thor and may last for 3 min.
