I didn’t put it on the beam list because it doesn’t go full screen, but I didn’t think about it’s good lock down usage. And the fact that it nullifies non-hyper projectiles is a big feature. That’ll work.
I’m currently trying Thor/Dante/Sent. I’m having trouble extending combos with drones and crystal assist. anybody got tips? Thanks in advanced.
Crystal will OTG for some SSS enders. So if you’re in the corner, land a hit, launch them in the air, do an air combo to knock them back down, then call crystal while you charge :h: Strike, then :l: Strike, then 
Spark canceled into super. Look at the first page in the combos thread at the OTG combos, and that should give you an idea of how it goes.
I’m having trouble landing SSS consistently…I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong, they keep popping out of Mighty Strike :h: so I can’t like the :l: or Mighty Spark
If they’re popping out, you’re not fully charging the Mighty Strike H. It has to be fully charged, otherwise you don’t get the soft KD.
I am wanting to get back in the swing of Marvel, and I remember I enjoyed playing Thor. I was thinking of doing a Thor/Wolverine/Spidey team. Are there any assists that I should use or is there a better combo for Thor/Wolverine/???
Uh, Spidey anchor isn’t that good, neither Wolvie or Spidey have any good assists, and Wolvie sure as hell could do better than Spark (obviously can’t use Smash since he needs Bounds for his own combos).
If you’re gonna stick to Thor/Wolvie, then…idk, put Task back there.
I am pretty open to changing, I have been also throwing around Thor spidey Doom
That’s not too bad, both benefit from Missiles. Personally I’d like that team more than Wolvie/Thor/Task but whatever works for you. The only thing is, the Wolvie team has safe DHCs and stuff like that. Other team is better to deal with zoning though.
Hell, play both, use them in different situations.
Sooooooo i went and got my ass whooped to learn that hulk anchor is ass tier while on my travels i fell in love with missiles again as i saw it gave him alot of flexibility what potential do viktor and thor have together and what would be his SSS combo?
Ha so after only a day that team is not more? I wasn’t going to say anything cos it seemed like you were set on it, but yes you had no decent anchors. If anything your point may have been the best anchor.
I’ll let others comment on Thor/Doom, definitely potential for a few things… missiles OTG’s after all.
SSS is the Charged H Mighty Strike, Charged L mighty strike, M mighty spark combo that you can do off an OTG. You were practising the first bits last night, but since you wanted the hard knockdown you were trying for me… most are happy with the damage you get off SSS into super.
yeah the hulk assist was a nice get off me but seems people wanted to run away and throw projectiles have a good time. Thor couldnt really benefit from it aswell it was there for viper really and i think im doing thor a disservice by not maximising his potential and giving myself a hard time lol seems missles/sent is the solution for all marvel problems. I think if theres a decent combo into hidden missiles i can get 2 sets of the SSS for big damage like boss/god. But yeah its been a week i dont want to be stubborn im always open to new ideas!
Btw, is worth remembering that thor is probably the most versatile of the heavies, when he is alone he doesn’t suffer against projectiles and runaway nearly as badly as the likes of hulk or hanger with his own beam, aerial mobility and the projectile negating mighty strike that can be charged for armour…
What Thor really needs is a lockdown type assist, and thankfully there are a few to pick from, question is which one do you want. I think the ‘problem’ with missiles is thor may have slight problems protecting victor during the call… probably has to throw out a spark at the beginning and hope a super doesn’t come dooms way.
hmm i see will take that on board which do you suggest/advise i should be looking into for my viper/thor duo?
looks at sig Think the one I’m using is a solid combo.
Thor with Hidden Missiles has a lot of flexibility combo wise. This post should give you a good start.
Uh, bit of a dilemma here, fellow Midgardians.
Yesterday, I was at a casual session, and I was running Thor/Dorm/Skrull, as usual.
I wasn’t doing so great with Thor, but I blame that on me not having enough time practicing with him.
I then switched to Hulk/Dorm/Skrull, and immediately started doing better.
Admittedly, I’m way more comfortable playing Hulk, but I personally feel Thor would be
way better for my team in the long run over the course of this game’s competitive life.
I want to make my team work with Thor, but it looks like it’ll take a LOT of work…
more so than just punishing people who press buttons with Hulk’s St. H.

Should I run both teams for certain situations, etc., or stick with just one?
It doesn’t hurt to have both on tap. Hulk has a much better ground game than Thor does, but he has a nonexistent air game where Thor actually shines.
Plus I imagine the Magneto matchup is much less hell for Hulk than it is for Thor.
Dorm’s assists just are somewhat weak, but overall I feel that team of Thor/Dorm/Skrull is one of the more superior Thor teams. I ran if for awhile but I just prefer Taskmasters beam like arrows for the meta. Like Saitsu said, I would keep a pocket Hulk team, but if you’re really looking to play Thor you just gotta DO IT. Play him all the time…and shit mighty strike is your standing H.
i disagree, on paper the team sounds very suceptible to Zero and Vergil mixups, Dante/Morrigan/Dorm zoning, Magneto and Wolvie + bfs bullying, and a ton of other mvc BS.
Best Thor teams are imo (in no order)
-
Thor/Dorm/Doom (doom with plasma beam when playing against a team with a fast long range ground control assist, missiles for everything else, Dorm with Purification… the star of the show here will be Dorm of course, Thor is the battery)
-
Thor/Dr Strange(bolts)/Amaterasu(cold star). My team, amazing team for Thor and can deal with a ton of hard matchups, very versatile team
-
Thor/Doom(plasma beam)/Amaterasu(cold star), not that good imo, Doom provides a good assist and the shell DoomxAmmy is very good, but Strange is the superior Dr for Thor and provides better DHCs, assist and a better battleplan.
-
character that can easy hitconfirm and TOD/Thor with the spark(TAC is godlike)/thor and point character bfs, this is Abegen team format, and it works
Skrull assists and battle plan doesnt provide enough for Thor imo, he is just a gimmicky comeback character with a good DHC. Same for Hulk (taking out the comeback abilities lol)
