Brother, You're Needed - Ultimate Thor Team Building Thread

You’ve given me every reason to show you none, and arbitrary superiority complexes are an auto-write off as “arrogant scumbag” in my book.
You’re no better than anyone else here in terms of human decency, and being good at this game is no substitute.

Yeah, no offense, Mech, but some people in this thread worked hard in unlocking more of Thor’s potential while you were away, so I can understand why Serp’s getting jumpy cause of your post.

On topic, has anyone messed with Weasel Shot assist? I wanna play Thor May Cry but I don’t know which is better, Jam or Weasel. It seems like Weasel is better cause it’s kinda like a beam+Cold Star hybrid that starts out behind Thor, but I haven’t tried it yet so I don’t know the nuances.

If your playing a point Thor then He can benefit from all of Dante’s assists. Your Thor ground movement is going to have to be on point to keep up with the quick momentum opportunity from Weasel Shot. Vergil doesn’t get anything from weasel shot so once Thor is gone you may have a issue using it to your advantage since Vergil doesnt have a strong high low game

I suggest using Jam Session or Crystal those assist are more synergetic for TMC than weasel shot. 9 time outta 10 you’d pick Jam Session over Weasel Shot for almost any team nowadays

Fair point, but I don’t even remember what post he’s tight about, I’m past that.
I’m just saying we are one unit here, none over the rest voice-wise, I would think; we’re all believers in the same thing, we should be working
towards glory, not infighting, yes.

And it’s not like I HAVEN’T been looking for new tech, I’m still trying to set up my Avermedia, I have some stuff I want to record, so I will be contributing shortly, lol

It depends if you intend to use the Dante assist as a neutral assist or as a lockdown/mixup assist. From what i have seen of good Dante players and my 5 minutes of training mode with Dante, Weasel shot is good for neutral support while jam is amazing when Thor is already in; i think both are ok combo extenders for Thor too, but Dante as a support char for Thor, i would rather have him on anchor so that he doesnt screw up with my wins…

@Mech, we are not a unit or anything. Youre terrible at this game and i would never ever take info about MY character from a bad player. Almost all the players here are vastly better than you or at least intend to play a decent team with Thor (not 50% sure about this line yet) and to evolve their main teams. Good luck mashing that wakeup s.S, and those “personal life” cards that no one care about in these forums.

Fair enough. Every man for himself. You guys suck.
And he isn’t your character. Don’t over-inflate yourself TOO much.

You could always voice your opinion to anyone who’s listening and willing to reply with something meaningful and always ignore Serp. (no offense) There’s no point in arguing over your efficiency with a video game character lol Going back and forth is getting y’all nowhere.

Yeah man, some people in this thread are willing to discuss Thor matters properly with you. What the hell? You get into an argument with Serp and say WE guys suck? Don’t get every Thor poster in this mess. If you have beef with Serp, take it to PM. Some of us want Thor discussion, legit. Hell, that’s ultimately what Serp wants, which is why he just basically says GTFO whenever someone comes here with a team of Tron/Thor/She-Hulk or some shit [details=Spoiler]hehe[/details]

If you don’t want to discuss with Serp then don’t; we have an ignore function. I’d say you’d be missing out, but that’s just me. Just don’t blame it on the entire boards; that shit just offends un-involved people.

Whoo, didn’t know SRK had that. Done.
I’m not up to rational discussion right now, in a few hours is good though; and I said all that out of rage anyway. Don’t take it to be what I really feel lol.

Been playing Thor May Cry on and off for those who read my input here and this team is prepared for a lot of things.

Approach the team as Thor(a)Vergil(y) Dante(a) which is the most balanced IMO its strong against the popular hidden missiles and characters with flight.

Thor(a)Vergil(y)Dante(b) is more of a ground based team it’s the team I play. I like this set up with Crsytal more than Weasel Shot. It’s true that Weasel shot is fast and has nice range on it and with Vergil tadum you’ll be pushing your opponent from corner to corner on the ground but Crystal is more ambiguous it’s stronger for incoming mixups and can otg. Having Dante second also works but you won’t get too much off the basic dhc unless you extend BUT thanks to mighty punish only being 2 hits you can still dhc glitch wink

There’s also Sons of Asgard which is a Vergil point team with Thor(b)in the middle this comes down to how well your Vergil/Dante synergy is. Thor is the combo extender TAC option and a SOS in form of the under utilized invincible alpha counter. Dante on point will not work well at all! With Thor on the team Dante almost always be anchor

Hey guys, I’ve gotten back into UMVC3 after a year hiatus. I’ve been playing Thor/???/Ammy. I really like the Thor/Ammy combo but can’t figure out a second. Was thinking Dorm, VJ, Sentinel, Iron-man, Iron Fist (is he even a character?), or possibly Dante. I want someone with good DHC’s and that can help Thor is ranges where cold star won’t/can’t reach. Thanks!

Dorm is a good choice but don’t forget Doom,Dr.Strange,Rocket Raccoon.

Picked up Shuma Gorath this week and got him Involved on some of the fun I have Shuma/Thor/Ammy in the works

What had me drawn at first was just mystic ray assist but shortly after finding joy in hard tag tod combos. I thought why not have fun and set these up all the time?

If I wanna be cheaper I can play Thor/Vergil/Shuma because I found out how absurd Vergil and Shuma can be

From what you’ve listed, I can see Dorm or Dante working well in the 2nd spot. Iron Man and Sentinel could possibly but I’m not to sure. From what you didn’t list, Strange Doom Vergil are some of the best options for Thor/???/Ammy. I personally use Thor/Vergil/Ammy and Thor gets 1.3 mil from a TK Mighty Strike midscreen starting with 1 bar. Rapid Slash is risky but can be used well in many situations. Not only can Sword loops work well with his DHCs but Thor’s alpha assist used in most of Vergil’s combos can be worth the damage and meter gained. However Strange and Doom have more of what you’re looking for and I do agree that they go better with Thor/Ammy. Just going by from what I know.

@RagingDemonStorm‌ Why use Vergil/Ammy? There is no mix up. You’re better off having Ammy in the middle and Vergil Anchor.

Yeah, I just picked up Ammy a few weeks ago. Still finding new things out. Still Vergil’s DHCs are superior to Ammy and Thor has a fast starting hyper in Mighty Punish and an air hyper with Mighty Hurricane to bring Vergil in. Also as I said Vergil behind Thor gives him a DHC that can rack up the damage and be safe in certain situations while Ammy’s have holes in their designs the characters can punish. If I can’t find a mixup with Vergil and Cold Star then I could Roundtrip and hard tag. The team is still in development.

@RagingDemonStorm‌ Thors Dhc options to Ammy are just as good as Vergil IMO. The damage from Thor and Vergil is obvious but he’s not gonna steam roll every game all the time.

I was more referring to the synergy with Vergil and Cold Star once Thor is gone. What’s the gameplan? spend the meter Thor made on Spiral Swords and Cold Star chip? While you’re opponent down backs all day and throws you out of the enevitable Rapid slash? Round trip hard tags can’t free all like that can they? How’re you winning your games?

I went back to playing a handful of matches this past weekend, after a very long break with the game, with a Thor/Frank W./Doom team that I’ve been thinking about trying for a while. Been thinking that they have good synergy together (in theory) but never got a chance to try anything out during matches. Wasn’t feeling comfortable with Frank so after trying out what I’ve been thinking of with Thor/Frank in training, I’ll think I’ll check out how Thor/Shuma/Doom do together.

Also, I’ve been holding my tounge on so much stuff Serp has said and I’m going to keep doing that because needlessly arguing back and forth isn’t going to help fellow Thor players.

I never bought into the thor to vergil DHC. And not to be mistaken… I’m not saying it doesn’t work, but who doesn’t vergil kill when you DHC into swords? If you have confidence in your thor damage, then you don’t need vergil in second spot. I will say having a ToD with mighty punish is nice. I know ammy gets a full combo… Not sure if it’s considered a ToD tho, maybe with a tac back to thor?

Depending on the assist and the combo both Vergil and Ammy can confirm from mighty punish. If you don’t have the extra meter to loop someone to death with Vergil you’d have to devil trigger then go for a tac back to Thor. Ammy can get real nasty with veil of mist though multiple glaive slashes and extensions through her tools to get her rocks off IMO Sword loop dhc is just the easy way out.
