Yeah, makes sense tron kinda sucks. More matches under my belt it’s really had to hit storm bnbs online, but overall I’m liking this team a lot.I just wish moving didnt rely on me mighty striking so much. Gappens more online where people just jump around with no purpose.
Comforting to see another storm/thor player. After much soul searching, i recently settled on Thor/Storm/Ammy.
This man knows what he’s talking about.
Is it possible to roll and do might punish on an opponent? Like let’s say sentinel hsf and missed his otg and I rolled. Would I be able to land mighty punish after I roll behind him, would it land. Was playing someone yesterday and I kept trying to do that, I was wondering if I just fucked up my input or it’s not possible to do.
I also find I have an easier time dealing with sentinel with thor right now than the rest of my team (Iron Man and Capt. America, in case you couldn’t tell). Any tricks with thor I want to pay attention to against sentinel besides the obvious stuff?
Thanks.
im not 100% sure about this because i dont have a lot of experience with mighty punish, but i dont think it would work if HSF is still active, AFAIK you can still get hit out of mighty punish during the first few starting frames.
As for thor vs sentinel, its a pretty easy match up in most cases imo, super jump + MS catches sentinel a lot since they always like to go for an armored launcher when someone SJs. Also when you’re close to sentinel you know that they will go for cr.M 90% of the time, so you can do J.S xx mighty strike M to avoid their cr.M and start a combo, you still have to slightly delay the S for it to hit a crouching sentinel so its not rly quick enough to be considered an instant overhead but its quick enough.
you’ll get hit out of mighty punish if there is a meaty move in your face - but sometimes you can do mighty hurricane H - hits on the first frame so i’d imagine that would work.
I like this team quite a bit, and in this order as well. Thor can Aerial Exchange to Storm to easily start the DHC glitch, back to Thor. If Thor falls, you still get the glitch from Storm to Ammy as well.
The only downside is Ammy with X-Factor 3 isn’t a significant threat, but that also lets you use it whenever you want to counter the other guy’s X-Factor, or make something safe, or just make Storm really terrifying for a bit.
Thor having Whirlwind to zone with is nice (Mighty Spark + Whirlwind just cleans up other projectiles), and Cold Star lets you do several Thor mixups (high/lows or even cross-ups) during its duration.
Haven’t visit this thread in a while, I discovered also Storm/Thor is a good thunder duo 
I was very stubborn on keeping Thor and Iron Man. And I think storm is a great character who compliment both of them. Now if only someone can discover a fly combo with Thor, that would be awesome.
Main Team is a Zero team but working on Thor for a secondary. Currently team is:
Thor (b)/Trish (b)/ Dormammu (b).
Dormammu’s Purification as an OTG works much better than going for a H mighty smash in the corner since it gives Thor more than enough time to charge up H Mighty Spark which in turn holds the opponent in place despite purification being up. Cancel in Mighty Tornado and you’ve got an easy 756K combo (or somewhere there).
Dorm’s Assist covers ground that Thor wont be in a lot of the time so I find it better than Dark Hole for him and Trish covers any possible push back so if the opp. gets caught in the trap you can do M Mighty Smash and go into BnB. Oh and I’ve got some sneaky tech trap setups with Trish baking in the oven 
Trish DHCs from Thor very well too only problem is I often like to have a beam assist with Dormammu in case he’s not the last one standing. Gonna have to work out the kinks there between him and Thor.
Hi guys. I’m trying to work on a second team of Cap, Thor and Iron Man. What are the best assist types for them? I know Iron Man’s is unibeam. But what about the other 2? Last time I tried Thor online I got wrecked because of the lag/netcode and him being slow. Any tips for that?
Also I’m a huge fan of the Avengers and love the new toon. Picking up the DVDs as well. For Midgard!
i’ll be picking up the dvds today as well friend, i also play the avengers and have explained my assist choices many times in this thread - but for now what i’ll do is just link you here
YouTube - Gimpyfish62’s Channel
i have a lot of videos for this team - not just matches but also some tactics and things
cap has to be on point IMO.
with my own team dynamic i prefer cap on point and eventually dhcing into thor when possible, then leaving him in until he dies. I prefer ending with cap/iron man to leaving thor for the end or something - even though he hits liek a truck.
i use assist b for him.
Looks like I know where my money will be going this summer as well.
I agree, been doing testing, thor isn’t the best starting character especially if the point character for the opponent can zone, cap has better spacing control than thor does who will only continuously lose health on the way in and has no effective reversal supers like cap.
I was using thor as an anchor due to his insane power boost from xfactor, however he’s too slow and lacks spacing control to be effective enough as an anchor and really needs his assists more so than cap or Stark.
Stark is looking like the best anchor on the team, not only that but even players like flash metroid use him as their anchor, since he has more spacing control and can get in easier than cap and thor. Not only that but an amazing level 3 super, which coupled with xfactor can kill off some characters without even having to combo with it.
And finally stark can handle comboing on his own, cap has no otg which hurts him, and takes him even more time getting in than Stark. Which wastes ponetial xfactor damage.
Probably thor’s best assist, from what i’ve been testing over the last few days.
Thanks guys!
trying to find my third. zero is on every team I have but after playing around with thor during all the psn downtime i’ve found he’s pretty amazing. i just can’t settle on a third person. I liked using Storm for a bit because I could DHC glitch to zero or thor which was pretty clutch, but her playstyle just isn’t fun to me. I’m pretty good with doom and dormammu so I could always go that route, but I’m looking for something different than my norm. Zero doesn’t bring much to the table in terms of assists so someone who could help with re-launch for thor would be great. I pretty much refuse to use she-hulk, wesker, phoenix, or sentinel because they’re so overplayed. any advice?
UMMMMMMMM your screwed lols JK but Zero and Thor really don’t go that great toegether. Whats your team order going to be?
I guess what you could do if you want to play underused characters is
Hsien-Ko, Thor, Zero
but you’d have to be pretty onpooint with hsien-ko then dhc from armor up to thor. That would provide you with a really good assist that is useful for thor and zero. Not the best team but I think your team really isn’t the best, Thor to really be effective needs either a good dhc glitch, or two really good supporting assists, one for lockdown and one for otg, otherwise you are missing out.
Wanted to put Tron on point in my team…but I’m so terrible with her…
I’ve been playing around with Thor/Whore/Doom
Either Thor on point, using Doom beam to get in/tandem with j. sparks to keep away, with the odd Dark Harmonizer for more Hurricane, or else Whorrigan on point, with Spark and Beam helping her to get in.
Thor is slow, and so is Spark, but the ability to combo in the middle of one is nice.
I also have been alternating Storm on occasion, for Whore, but I really like Whore’s rushdown over Storm’s plasticity.
Yeah, I want Tron or Dante on point as they both can put massive damage before a DHC Trick and have good lockdown assists for my Thor shenanigans…unfortunately I’m terrible with both.
its pretty hard to relaunch with thor since his moves add a ton of hit stun deterioration, ive been testing this for awhile and what ive realized is that assists that can help thor relaunch without OTGs are better because they cause less hit stun deterioration for some reason. But there arent many of those assists and they can only be used in the corner, the ones that work so far are Chris’s mine, modok’s ballon bomb, skrull’s tenderizer and sentinel drones (much harder to do with this one). What you do is cr.L, cr.H then S + assist at the same time, do an air combo ending with S and the assist should keep them juggled in the air until you hit the ground for a relaunch, if you use this method you can get the full hits out of the combo without needing to change anything. But if you wanna relaunch using OTGs you’re always gonna have to either replace cr.H with M at the start of the combo or change the air combo from MMHS to MHS or maybe even both. BTW you also cant use mighty smash M before any of the relaunches because it causes too much hitstun deterioration.
Its a bit of a pain in the ass to do and i wouldnt put one of the characters i mentioned above just to use their assist for it, but if you already have one of them in your team i think its worth learning, does pretty good damage.
Alright, until I can get down Dante, my new team will be Thor/Trish/Tron.
did mike ross drop thor? he was using hulk instead in the last tournament.
