I tried thor. I couldn't play him since hearing "Mighty [move name]" constantly drove me nuts.
I have Thor as my backup character if I get sick of Viewtiful Joe.
I can put up with his constant MIGHTY X, but I can't put up with trying to do Kara-HCBs in a game where people can mash crouching light and kill a character off a successful connection, and that's not even taking the netcode almost always dropping one of the inputs in the HCB into account.
Long story short, I'd advise against using Thor unless you're a masochist like me (SSF4 Makoto for life!)

Ok, how about just general impressions then.
Wolverine is all about speed and his mad mixup game but if he gets hit by a decent player, he's down 50-80% life
Dante is the Ken of this game in that you can mash buttons and look awesome as shit doing it and also win a lot, but if you find someone who knows how to counter him, you're going down hard. He does have massive potential damage and one of the better hypers in the game, though.
Morrigan is a good assist for her meter gain ability, but can be tough to play due to her diagonal dash. She's a fucked up Darkstalkers version of Ryu
Iron Man's good at zoning and pressure if you can dash properly, but I've heard tales of his launcher being a bitch to land.
Deadpool is Dante but with more zoning ability, less health, and more speed
Spider-Man... He can move around quickly and get some good mixups, but his playstyle's a bit weird. Most I've ran into just seem to keep throwing web balls and combo off that (which doesn't really work all that well)
Zero is a glass cannon, all about brutal damage and speed, but he dies real quickly. No real zoning ability outside of a simple fireball type attack either.
Trish is all about the traps and zoning ability. If you play her right, you're sure to destroy a few TV screens of your enemies, and she has a decent mixup rushdown style, but if you play her wrong, you really just get a sort of bad Dante.

I still have not seen anyone use VJ in online ranked
I've probably used him in about 130 of my ~180 matches played on PSN, yet still haven't seen another one. I don't know why. Joe is awesome as hell.
