Thor can work with Jean somewhat. Most health in the game plus being a decent battery helps. Your third can be anyone really. Doom, Ammy, Sent…go wild.
I play Thor/Dormammu/Iron-Man but Thor/IM/Dorm works too.

You could add missiles to the team too. Maybe Thor/Unibeam/Missiles so you can always get full out DHC damage from SSS combos. Or maybe rock team Avengers. Cap/Thor/Tony have some great synergy. Sentinel should be a viable option, too. Dormammu, too. I could even see Dante.
I think I caught someone 5 straight times with the basic L Strike Hurricane reset. It takes away the enjoyment when no one even tries to get out of easy resets.
Okay, so I’m taking a break from Nova/Frank/Sent and thinking back on the team that started it all, Thor (Smash)/Storm (Whirl)/Ammy (C.Star) that I used in vanilla. How does that team hold up now? I assume most of it’s going to be the same minus the DHC glitch. I’ve played with Thor since then, but haven’t given the entire team a go. Can Thor take advantage of Ammy and Storm’s THC cover like Doom can?
It’s a good team with good support. You say you’ve already got some experience with it from vanilla, so you should have no issues going into Ultimate with it. In the corner, you can use SSS enders with Ammy’s cold star, and you’ll be at the right height for Hail Storm DHCs. Or if you’re mid screen, you could just end your Thor combo on the ground and Hail Storm after a Tornado that way. Or you could go the TAC route. Thor to Storm or Storm to Thor, it works out great both ways. Whirlwind might not be the most ideal assist for Thor to have, but the fact that it puts a horizontal hit box on the screen is good enough to get some use out of.
During a THC, Thor will need to XFC to get anything going on his own because both his hypers last too long otherwise, but with that Hailstorm/Okami Shuffle cover, Thor has all the time in the world to get some SSS enders going on for some big damage.
I’d love to rock Steve as well but I don’t think Iron Man is a good anchor at all.
How’s using Iron Mn as an anchor?
He’s not a come back character, but he is a good anchor in the sense that he provides your other two characters with a great assist. The purpose of running teams like that is to use the team as a whole, building on each other’s strengths and minimizing each other’s faults. It’s a different mind set than running 3 points that can do work on their own. Neither mindset is better than the other. It’s the strong battery/user/assist or point/point/assist team structure that puts Doom, Sentinel, and vanilla Haggar and Tron on anchor, even though they’re not made to be anchor characters.
Sorry, I’ve been working a lot. Yea he’s solid but like DJ said, I don’t use my anchors for comebacks.

I’m trying to run a Spiderman/Thor/Strider Team. Anyone think that’s a good fit for Thor. Tony’s not working out so good.
Well I’m gonna say Thor isn’t the answer to this question.
The answer is Doom.
Yeah I actually meant to ask if Thor would be good. I kinda had a mind fart there and phrased the questioning completely wrong.
Well then I’ll answer the different question. Thor doesn’t really get much at all from this team. Strider doesn’t help a ton though I assume he could have some shenanigans for combos. But Thor would pretty much be solo with Oki since Spidey has awful assists. Thor’s pretty much just there for DHC’s and Mighty Spark assist I would assume. Can work if you REALLY want him to.
I’m fairly new to UMVC3 and definitely to Thor. I’m not very skilled yet, but fortunately I live in one the best places in the U.S. for Marvel so I know my fair share about the game. I wanna know what you guys think about a Hulk/Thor/Dormammu team. I’ve been running it for about a week now with varying success. So far I’ve been using Rising Gamma Charge/Mighty Spark/Dark Hole for assists but after reading this topic I feel like it may be better to use Gamma Wave so that Thor has an OTG/beam. Losing a GTFO me assist hurts a little for Dorm, but honestly he can manage without it.
The team does massive damage. A basic Hulk bnb and DHC into Mighty Tornado (if in the corner/2 bars) or Mighty Thunder (at full screen) into Chaotic Flames kills most characters and requires minimum execution. Simply put, the DHC synergy is really strong with this team, no matter the order.
The slight delay on Mighty Spark works amazing for helping Hulk get in and for helping Dormammu charge spells/mix up.
Any tips/evaluations you guys can give me for this team?
So I’m using Thor-beam/Haggar-lariat/Hulk-wave. Any hit or throw with any character on point within 1/2 stage of the corner nets over a million damage for 2 meter neutral bars, does 1.25k+ for 3 bars. Midscreen hits or throws can kill in some situations, but the minimum is at least 500-600k. The wave assist helps Thor move around and gives him an OTG for combos, while the lariat helps get people away from me when I’m being rushed down or can set up fun mixups. If Haggar is in front, he gets both a beam and an extra OTG assist. If Hulk is in front, he gets a beam and a get off me slash mixup assist. Everyone DHCs well to the rest, although unfortunately the assists I’m using all result in each character’s worst team super heh. I also have these really fun setups that let me hard tag after Thor m smash ground bounce over to Haggar for an additional 300k before super time and that use Thor beam to keep the opponent in the air so Haggar can get otg, Thor beam, toward+h, s without using a ground bounce.
So far the biggest problem I’m having is with Thor in movement and killing off random hits and mighty strikes, but that’s something I figure will come in time. The second biggest problem is that I don’t have an anchor. Thor and Hulk get no speed buff in xfactor, and while all three characters easily kill for one bar in xf3, I don’t really have a crazy comeback character that can derp my opponent out.
But I like the team other than that. It satisfies my need to play big body command grab characters while giving me fairly versatile matchups. Thor can deal with projectile zones and people at the top of the screen, Haggar can deal with midrange and up close, and Hulk can be tough to approach and can even zone in some matchups. I could definitely be playing more optimized teams for each character, but this one is fun and interesting. Yay!
Ultradavid have you seen the team super combo for haggar Thor? With haggar on point? Genii from Toronto plays it, some good videos up of that. Your team def seems fun to play just not great at comebacks but that doesn’t have to be the be all end all!
Got any links to those vids? I’d like to see.

That has the specific thc but you have to use smash instead of beam… Could still work depending on how much you use thor’s beam assist
So lately I have decided to start messing around with Thor. I really like having Spidey/Thor/Dante as I feel that they have pretty good synergy. Also I can extend long combos using Thor’s beam assist to do easy 800k combos with Spidey. Also Thor seems to benefit from Dante Weasel shot as a projectile/lock down. I was wondering if Supernovajm is still around so I could ask him about Spidey/Thor synergy and was also wondering if anyone has messed around with Thor/Dante as well? Oh and if anyone knows of any high damage solo Thor combos that would be appreciated. Sorry for so many questions lol.
Edit: One last thing. Does anyone know some good TAC stuff with Thor?
@supernovajm would be the one to ask about that. He hasn’t been around in a while, but here’s his youtube page. Spidey and Thor do have some good synergy between each other. Off the top of my head, a Maximum Spider should allow you to DHC into a Mighty Punish whiff follow up.
Thor’s got a bunch of TAC things, too. Check the first page of the combo thread for the break down.

And on top of that he’s got his own infinite.
