| | ==Introduction== |
| | "Behold, I am Thor! God of Thunder, Son of Odin, and Defender of Asgard! If thou art foolish enough to challenge Thor, you will find Mjolnir powerful enough to break your skull!" |

|
| {{UMvC3CharacterHeader|Thor|thor|
| | '''In UMvC3,''' Thor offers a unique take on the 8-way airdasher archetype. While his forward ground dash is quite slow, Thor is impressively speedy in the air. Thor has a slow - but powerful - beam, as well as specials with projectile nullification or even armor, which when paired with his huge health pool (the largest in the game), can be used to bully his way toward opponents. Once up close, Thor sports a great command grab both on the ground and in the air, which he can use to start damaging combos. |
| Thor is the "god of thunder" from Asgard and a founding member of the Avengers. His mighty hammer, Mjolnir, can only be wielded by him and gives him incredible strength.
| |
| |
| |
| Thor is one of the more unique characters in the game, often compared to a slower Magneto but he's far from him. He doesn't have very much speed on the ground, but take to the skies and with enough practice you can move like the wind. He has the highest health in the game, a decent full screen projectile, a move with armored properties, lots of damage and an easy follow up with a command grab that can be done in the air. All in all, he's hard to master but in the right hands can be devastating.}} | |

| === Players to Watch === | | {{ProConTable |
| | | pros = |
| | *'''Tank Health:''' Highest health total in the game allows Thor to survive combos that would kill the rest of the cast, endure large amounts of chip damage, and play a "grind game" where he forces longer battles that whittle away health over time. |
| | *'''Damage:''' High damage potential, especially in the corner, with extremely damaging level 1 hypers and access to unscaled damage via Mighty Spark (236X). |
| | *'''Strong Aerial Mobility:''' Thor has a relatively fast 8-way airdash alongside Mighty Strike (421X), which allows Thor to advance forward while protected by a large hitbox. Mighty Strike also destroys projectiles and has armor when charged, allowing it to blow through an opponent's keepaway game. |
| | *'''Great Mixups:''' Thor has powerful strike/throw mixups and resets utilizing his Mighty Hurricane (63214X) command grab, on the ground or in the air. |
| | *'''TAC Infinites:''' Consistent TAC Infinites from every direction and screen position. |
| | | cons = |
| | *'''Grounded Attacks:''' Thor's grounded attacks are very underwhelming, with poor reach and slow speed. His grounded forward dash is also extremely slow (although his grounded backdash is decently fast). |
| | *'''Very Poor Normals:''' Stubby, awkward normals, and an inability to chain M grounded normals into H normals make for a bad normal game. |
| | *'''Bad X-Factor:''' Gains no speed boost in X-Factor and is a relatively nonthreatening anchor. |
| | *'''Dependent on Assists:''' Thor is constantly depending on assist calls to patch the holes in his neutral game. |
| | }} |
| | |
| | |
| | === Unique Mechanic === |
| | |
| | Thor can cancel most of his grounded normals and all of his grounded specials into Mighty Speech (22H), a unique taunt that generates meter. However, Thor's speech has lengthy recovery is only useful in a few situations. Thor can also cancel all of his assists as Cross-over Counters into Mighty Speech. |

| | THC Hyper: Mighty Thunder. Thor appears on stage and channels thunder from his hammer, creating a spark in front of him. After 20 additional frames, the spark shoots forward as a short-lived beam projectile. The spark hits up to four times and deals damage that ignores damage scaling, but has very short range. However, Thor appears in front of the point character, which can help mitigate the spark's short range, at the cost of leaving him more vulnerable than traditional beam assists. The hammer also reaches lower than the beam, allowing it to hit characters who would otherwise be able to crouch under this attack. |
| | |
| | The beam portion has very high total durability by assist standards, allowing it to easily destroy other common projectile assists such as Doom's Plasma Beam or Sentinel's drones. In practice, this can be very difficult to actually perform. Thor's beam assist is very slow, at 47 frames of startup plus an additional 20 frames for the beam to actually fire. During that time, either the assist you were trying to beat, or the opponent's point character may have already hit Thor. |

Mighty Strike destroys Low and Medium Priority projectiles on contact but is only near the ground for a short period of time. It has a hard time hitting grounded opponents, especially if they are crouching, and pops opponents into the air on hit. |

| | |description= |
| | Thor's beam attack. Thor charges his hammer, causing a short-range spark to appear around it. After an additional duration, the spark fires forward as a beam. Higher button strength is slower to start up and lasts longer, but deals more damage, has higher duration, and lower recovery. Normal-sized characters can crouch underneath all versions of Mighty Spark's beam, limiting its potential as a sustained Chip Damage tool. |
|
| |
|
| ===Hyper Moves===
| | Despite being a projectile and Thor's only long-range option, Mighty Spark has several properties that make it useful up-close. The initial "spark" around Thor's hammer notably deals fully unscaled damage. Although the 13,000 base damage per hit may not seem impressive, this can actually be very high damage output compared to heavily scaled hits deep into a combo. This is especially true if you manage to connect H Mighty Spark, which hits 6 times for 78,000 unscaled damage in addition to the high (but scaled) damage of the beam itself. The very fast recovery on Mighty Spark means that Thor is always plus afterwards, and Thor can even link a normal attack after a close-range Spark to continue the combo. |

| | Air version of Mighty Spark. Thor hovers in the air while performing the move. It is functionally identical to the grounded version, with all the same properties and uses, but starts up very slightly faster. TK L Mighty Spark (j.2369L) can be useful for controlling space against characters who like to fight at regular jump height, like Nova, Spencer, and Dante. |
|
| |
|
| == Strategy ==
| | The last hit of the "spark" part of Mighty Spark causes a True Soft Knockdown. It is possible to space Air Mighty Spark so that this hit connects and the following beam whiffs, by juggling the opponent sufficiently above or below Thor. If done properly, Thor can perform very long, extended combos by landing and relaunching after Mighty Spark, especially in the corner. |

|
| === Tips and Tricks ===
| |
| * Mighty Punish is a great move. It's start up is instant, which is quite possibly one of the best reversals in the game. Having a good DHC, you can easily get a full combo afterwards. Abegen for example, uses She-Hulk to DHC, if the move connects you can go right into emerald cannon and combo! And if they jump in the air to avoid it? Then go into She-Hulks Taking out the Trash anti-air super and catch them in the air! Other hypers like Doom's Sphere Flame will whiff after a full two hits facing the right side and actually allow you to OTG and combo with St.H. <br>
| |
| * You can super cancel out of any of Thor's command grabs. This is especially useful as a frame trap. Try doing a block string, then tick throw them into a command grab. If you are too early the command grab will whiff but you can always cancel into Thor's Mighty Punish and catch them off guard. <br>
| |
| * Thor's command grabs can also be buffered during throw breaks. For example, at the beginning of the round, if they try to throw you and you tech the throw, you can buffer the command throw and input H again, it will double as another throw tech and also punish their throw attempt, talk about godly! <br>
| |
| * Thor's air dash is only accessible at certain heights, however if you super jump there are less frames needed to air dash, try it out. <br>
| |
| * Thor's jumping Light paired with tri-dashes is the best move to use as your high/low mix-up tool. However the hitbox is very small which means it will have trouble beating out other moves, so only use it during the cover of assists like Doom's Hidden Missiles or Amaterasu's Cold Star. <br>
| |
| * Thor's Special in the air has a great hitbox, but it has very slow start up. Practice using it when approaching from a distance but be careful using it too much because it's easy to get thrown during it's use. However if it connects, it's easily one of the best ways to start a combo due to it's huge hit stun and high damage. Hitting a grounded opponent with this move will stagger them and allow a nice follow up. <br>
| |
| * You may notice in some combo videos that after Mighty Smash M, that Thor is able to do crouching Heavy, this can only be done when mighty smash connects when they much higher in the air. As a rule, think of the apex of this move and if the opponent is hit at that height, there is a high chance a crouching Heavy will connect and give you a lot of damage. <br>
| |
| * Crouching heavy also connects on Thor's command grab but '''only''' if you grab them in the air. <br>
| |
| * Mighty Spark has an interesting property to it. There are two hitboxes associated with this move, one is the beam that goes full screen, the other is the circular spark around Thor's hammer. If an opponent is hit with the last hit of the spark around the hammer, they will go into a soft knock down. This allows you to do multiple relaunch combos using Mighty Spark Light as a way to bring them slowly to the ground. These sphere hitboxes are also the key to his TAC infinite. <br>
| |
| * Thor has perhaps one of the worst forward ground dashes in the game, "Wave" dashing or "Plinking" forwards just isn't worth it. His air dash is the quickest way to cover ground towards your opponent. However, his back dash is actually quite good, try Wave or Plink dashing backwards and see how quickly he can run away. <br>
| |
| * Thor's biggest strength is using air Mighty Strikes to cover ground with a big hitbox and is perfect for hitting assists with active hitboxes and converting happy birthdays. <br>

| | Thor charges forward, striking in front of himself, in a direction determined by button strength: |
|
| |
|
| on UP TAC
| | *L version moves horizontally across the ground. |
| | *M version launches Thor at an up-forward angle. |
| | *H version launches Thor directly upwards into the air. |
|
| |
|
| * Mighty Spark M, j.M, Mighty Spark M, Air-Dash Up-Forward, j.LM, Mighty Spark M, j.S. Can be followed up with an OTG assist into Mighty Spark H xx Mighty Tornado.
| | Mighty Strike destroys Low and Medium Priority projectiles on contact and can be used by Thor to bully his way into close range against projectile-heavy zoning characters. It can also be charged, which improves the recovery and adds a hit of Super Armor, allowing it to beat many physical hits as well. |
|
| |
|
| === Basic Strategy ===
| | Grounded Mighty Strike has poor recovery compared to its aerial version, especially the uncharged version, which hurts the risk/reward of using it. In general, it is better to use the air version of Mighty Strike as a mobility and approach tool. |
| | }} |
| | }} |
|
| |
|
| The general idea with Thor is to cover ground with air mighty strike M. The M version has the best chance at hitting a grounded opponent and allowing you to convert into a combo. The easiest combo off an uncharged Mighty Strike M is simply using launcher to send them into an air combo. You can also improve the combo by doing a Mighty Smash M and then launch, or re-jump after the hit and do j.LMS, st.LS into combo. <br>
| | {{MoveData |
| Thor's ground game is generally pretty weak, you want to be in the air 90% of the time. The other 10% is using mighty spark L to control the ground, call your own assists under the cover of his beam and punish your opponents assist. All of Thor's ground normals are very punishable, so don't approach with raw ground normals too often, just stick to the skies and use his air dash down forward paired with L at low heights or with S at super jump height. <br>
| | |image=UMVC3_Thor_j421L.png |
| Play patiently, you have a ton of health and most of your easiest combos will do a lot of damage. You want to try and stay mid screen as much as possible to pose a threat with mighty strike, but not too close as to get air grabbed or hit with an Anti-Air while charging.

| == Advanced Strategy ==
| | *L version travels horizontally forwards through the air. |
| | *M version travels at a down-forward angle. |
| | *H version travels straight down. |
|
| |
|
| === Assist Choices as a Point character ===
| | Like the grounded version, Air Mighty Smash is a mobility and approach tool that Thor can use to force his way in through projectile attacks. It is especially useful against characters who regularly utilize projectile-based attack in neutral, like Zero, Morrigan, and Captain America. Using M or H Air Mighty Strike to attack a grounded opponent is very advantageous and starts a combo on hit even uncharged. The True Soft Knockdown on a charged hit makes it a high-damage option for certain combo routes if Thor can set up a way to land it. |
| | }} |
| | }} |
|
| |
|
| Thor needs two types of assists, one full screen projectile and one screen control. I HIGHLY recommend using Hidden Missiles as your main assist of choice, not only does Thor have good tech with Doom(see tech section above), but missiles covers all of Thor's movement, allows high/low mixups, gives you extended combos and can really make a difference in those scrambles. All of those pieces that make hidden missiles so good is what you should also be looking for in the assist choices for your Thor team. Mystic Ray can accomplish much of what missiles can do, it can OTG, provide full screen control and can help start offense, it's a good pick for Thor.
| |
|
| |
|
| Thor also benefits well from lock down assists like Amaterasu's Cold Star which tremendously ups Thor's high/low potential and can also be used after an uncharged mighty strike H OTG to extend combos. Many other assists could potentially achieve this, such as Hsien-Ko's Senpu Bu or Frank West's Shopping Cart, there is certainly room for experimentation. | | {{MoveData |

| | |description= |
| | Thor's command grab, and an important part of his offense. Can be done on the ground as a regular throw, or while airborne as an airthrow. Heavier button strengths are faster but have shorter range. |
|
| |
|
| Thor needs a projectile to cover his tri-dashing, his low height mighty strikes and also as a way to punish those pesky zoners and their assists while mighty sparking yourself. The best projectile assists that I've found are Strange's Bolts of Balthakk, Ironman's Unibeam, Arthurs Dagger Toss and Hawkeye's Triple Arrows. Doom's beam and Magneto's Disruptor are still great assists but their knock down abilities actually hinder a lot of Thor's confirms. Again experimentation is key, other great assists could include Taskmaster's arrows, Chris' Machine Gun and maybe Vergil's Rapid Slash.
| | On a successful grab - grounded or airborne - Thor lifts the opponent up and then slams them into the ground, bouncing them slightly upwards. Despite appearances, this is not considered a Ground Bounce and does not prevent Thor from using an actual bounce later in the combo. It allows Thor to connect a normal afterwards to start a combo - usually 2M or 5S. If Thor does not catch the opponent with an attack, they will fall back down for a Hard Knockdown. |
|
| |
|
| Things to note, Rapid Slash and Cold Star can both be used after an uncharged Mighty Smash H after an air combo to extend combos.
| | H version can option-select a throw tech, which is useful at round start. |

| | |
| | At 30f startup, Thor's flight mode activation is extremely slow, and he does not gain any meaningful advantage from canceling attacks into it, nor does he have practical combos into Flight mode. He can still use it as a mobility tool to perform multiple airdashes in quick succession, or to cancel an aerial normal and halt his momentum. |

| | Thor causes a large tornado of thunder to appear around himself, hitting several times. This is Thor's standard combo ender. It has fairly slow startup, and so only a handful of Thor's attacks can reliably combo into it, but the hyper itself deals solid damage. |
|
| |
|
| === Thor's Assists and Synergy with teams ===
| | For the air version of Mighty Tornado, every hit except for the final hit causes a True (forced) Soft Knockdown, while the final hit causes a Soft Knockdown that the opponent can air recover from. The grounded version of Mighty Tornado always causes a True Soft Knockdown. |
|
| |
|
| Thor only really has two assists that are worth using, Mighty Spark(a) and Mighty Smash(b).
| | Mighty Tornado can be used in certain Guard Break setups, taking advantage of its two frames of post-flash startup. A fast aerial normal canceled into Air Mighty Tornado can be DHC'd into an airgrab hyper, from characters like She-Hulk, Spider-Man, or Frank West. The DHC can be performed after the flash (and after the opponent leaves blockstun from the normal you canceled) but before the Tornado actually connects, making the airgrab hyper either difficult or impossible to escape. |
| | }} |
| | }} |
|
| |
|
| (a) is really great for teleport characters like Strange, mobile characters like Magneto and possibly even zoners like Dormammu. It's slow start up can actually be a good thing for characters like Magneto and Spencer. As Spencer, zip-lining across the screen and calling Thor can create some interesting cross-ups due to how delayed the beam is, it's also a great tool for 80ks and used in conjunction with his wall bounce the spark can actually negate the wall bounce! For Magneto, the slow start up can allow you to cr.LMH disruptor and go for more mix-ups. The spark around the hammer can equal big damage, using it at the end of a combo with HSD ignoring moves can really up the damage and build a ton of meter. A tricky technique is to alpha counter into the assist and immediately cancel into Mighty Punish command grab super, this is especially effective after an ineffective block string by your opponent.
| |
|
| |
|
| (b) is best as a combo extender and alpha counter. The alpha counter can lead directly into a Thor combo at minimal HSD, the correct team set up can allow Thor to TOD off a counter. (b) is a great combo extender because of it's ground bounce, but it's only best suited for characters who do not need or use a ground bounce in their combo. It's important to know that Thor's (b) assist does not reset the ground bounce as some others do. What may come as a surprise and shouldn't, is that (b) is excellent on incoming mix-ups. Using it with a character who can create strong right/left situations on incoming can really benefit from (b) as it has a fast start up and leads to an easy confirm due to the ground bounce. Experiment with using this on incoming, it's quite fun! | | {{MoveData |

| Thor's primary responsibility in the second or anchor position should only be used for TAC's, alpha counters and DHC into Mighty Punish. Thor's assists are good, but they aren't THAT good, Thor is best played on point backed by a solid shell, however here are some tips for running Thor in other positions. Abegen's team makes best use of Thor 2nd because Mighty Punish's quick recovery allows Thor to easily tack on huge damage with Mighty Spark H and further follow-ups with charged Mighty Strikes. However if you aren't running Tron or Storm(hail storm), definitely concentrate on using Thor as a TAC damage builder. Thor has an infinite but there are much easier TAC combos above that are still extremely damaging, doing a solid combo at about 400K before TAC will easily net you 1mil with an OTG assist. It's also never a bad idea to have supers that set up a DHC into Mighty Punish, the trick is to have 3 meters so that when Mighty Punish connects, you have another DHC that can combo off it. | | Thor causes bolts of lightning to rain from the sky. The first bolt strikes immediately in front of Thor, and additional bolts strike successively farther away. It is an alternative OTG for situations where H Mighty Smash will not connect in time. It can also be used as a screen-clear against non-hyper projectiles, but has surprisingly poor durability when clashing with other hypers. |
|
| |
|
| === Team Building ===
| | Mighty Thunder deals very good damage if it hits as much as possible, but will deal significantly less damage if done close to the corner (most bolts will strike off screen) or from far away. |

|
| So, we talked about the types of assists Thor likes and the kinds of assists and synergy he has in general, now put it all together. On point Thor wants some way to extend a hard knock down from an air combo into charged mighty strikes to add on big damage. He also wants some kind of projectile to control the ground and help snipe assists. Thor is a good point selection when your other characters are support based, but he should be placed second when you have a great point character.

| | Cinematic command grab hyper. Can be thought of as an enhanced version of Mighty Hurricane. However, it does not start a regular combo on a successful grab the way that Hurricane does (you can combo afterwards using a DHC, depending on the second character). |
|
| |
|
| Examples of non-point Thor teams: Spencer/Thor/Doom, Magneto/Thor/Doom, Nova/Thor/Doom, Tron/Thor/She-Hulk, Storm/Thor/Doom. Basically Thor/Doom is the most solid Thor shell you can have, but She-Hulk has the best overall synergy with Thor, she just isn't top tier :(
| | It is quite fast, can't be reacted to post-flash and is invincible up through the actual grab, so it can be mashed as a reversal against close-range pressure. |
|
| |
|
| == Match ups ==
| | Because of this hyper's fast total duration, it can be used as a DHC whiff in order to combo into non-hyper attacks. This concept was popularized by Abegen who would DHC from a long, lingering hyper (like Tron's Servbot Takeout) into whiffed Mighty Punish, then perform several unscaled Mighty Sparks while the opponent was being hit for huge damage. |
|
| |
|
| | Mighty Punish can also be used in gimmicky DHC setups where you perform an air hyper against a grounded opponent, then DHC to Thor's grab before the hyper actually hits. |
|
| |
|
| === Nova ===
| | If you mistime your tickthrow Mighty Hurricane, you can cancel into this move as an emergency second chance. |
| | }} |
| | }} |
|
| |
|
| Nova is one of the harder match ups because his air throw game is so good. I've found that by doing TK mighty spark L's you can effectively cover his box dash space and frustrate him. Playing a zoning game against Nova is completely acceptable, after all you have 1.25 mil health, you can afford to spark full screen while calling assists. Just be careful against other beam assists as any good Nova player will have and try to match their beam assist with one of your own, check out the assist section below to see which one is right for you. Always be mindful when you are planning on Mighty Striking, a good Nova will recognize what you are doing and go for the grab. It's a tricky and tough match up but it just takes getting used to the way it all spaces out, especially watch out for those inevitable air throw resets! Be careful of speed tackle, that shit beats everything.

| | Thor grabs the opponent and chucks them directly upwards into the air, where they fall back down onto him. Fairly unique among normal throws because Thor can attack the opponent before they land for the Hard Knockdown, starting a full combo without having to use an OTG. If Thor does not attack them on the way down, the opponent will take 30,000 additional damage when they hit the ground, and could still technically be OTG'd upon landing. |

| A fully charged Mighty Strike will beat Zero's lightning, the main move Zero will try to do to catch you. Always be in the air, if you are on the ground you are getting mixed up. Stay mobile and always be mindful of those upwards lightnings, they will catch you and he will convert into a full combo. Stay aggressive when he doesn't have buster charged, and play defensive when he does have it charged. I like to think of it as turtle Thor, staying far enough away that you can still Mighty Strike through his BS and not have to worry too much about him catching you. Using mighty spark in this match up just isn't as good because of level 3 buster and sogenmu. Remember to abuse the reversal frames on Mighty Punish super to catch zero dropping a lightning loop, don't rely on the drop, just be aware that it may happen. When zero uses sogenmu in the neutral game, just be patient, there really isn't much you can do on the ground and even trying a fully charged mighty strike can be a risk due to his shadows.

| | Thor spikes the opponent straight down to the ground. Unlike the ground throw, it causes an immediate Hard Knockdown, and Thor can not start a combo afterwards. Do not use this airthrow, use Air Mighty Hurricane instead. |

|
| === Magneto ===
| |
|
| |
|
| I think this match up is fairly even, but Magneto probably gets the edge due to better normals and faster projectiles. Mighty Spark L will beat disruptor, but you have to preemptively use the move before magneto has a chance to use disruptor first as it's the faster projectile. Mighty Strike will actually beat magnetic blast and go through disruptor. A common strategy is to jump, call assist and mighty strike M, mighty strike will beat disruptor and your assist will be free to attack. Always be mindful of how fast Magneto can be in the air, there's always an opportunity for him to air throw you, but there's also an opportunity for you to command grab. When magneto starts plink dashing in the air to cover ground, try to anticipate their movement and go for the command grab. Be mindful of how much meter Magneto has, if he has anything over 2 meters, play a lot more patiently and stop using so many mighty strikes. If the Magneto player recognizes you are using mighty strike a lot, he can use shockwave and DHC into another character that can combo (like Dante) to punish you full screen, there is absolutely nothing you can do to stop shockwave or the coming DHC while you are in the air. It's almost unfair really, you can't play a ground game, you can't press a button in the air and you can't call an assist, your best bet is to bait them into doing it, maybe even call an assist as a bait just so he can lose his meter, just be aware of what kind of DHC he has.

| [[Category: Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3]] | | == Team Position == |
| | |
| | Thor is usually played in either the '''Point''' or '''Second''' position. When played as a Point character, Thor's lack of solid long-range tools can be more easily compensated for with assists. He can use his strong aerial mobility to compete with other highly mobile Point characters. Although Thor's solo damage is not terrible, he becomes even stronger when he can utilize assists to easily combo into his slower special moves. |
| | |
| | Thor can be placed in the Second slot to serve as a damage engine for another lower-damage point character. His Mighty Spark assist can be exceptionally powerful if you are able to cover for its slow startup. However, Thor's support is generally suboptimal compared to his potential on point. |
| | |
| | == Notable Supports == |
| | <tabber> |
| | |-| Doctor Doom = |
| | [[File:UMVC3 Doctor Doom Icon.png|center|100px]] |
| | <center>[[File:Alpha.png|20px]][[File:Beta.png|20px]]</center> |
| | Thor and Doom work extremely well together, not least because of an extremely strong raw-tag game. Thor can tag to doom off a basic magic sequence in the corner, leading to huge damage and meter gain, as well as off any grounded grab anywhere on screen. Thor also uses both Plasma Beam and Hidden Missiles extremely well, and Doom's TACs add a potent weapon to Thor's arsenal. S tier pairing. |
| | |
| | |-| Rocket Raccoon = |
| | [[File:UMVC3 Rocket Raccoon Icon.png|center|100px]] |
| | <center>[[File:Alpha.png|20px]][[File:Gamma.png|20px]]</center> |
| | Thor can use Rocket's support extremely well, with Pendulum being one of his favorite assists and Mad Hopper an excellent DHC which he can use for stylish raw tag combos. Rocket also works very well with some of Thor's other favorite supports, such as Doom, or Strange. |
| | |
| | |-| Doctor Strange = |
| | [[File:UMVC3 Doctor Strange Icon.png|center|100px]] |
| | <center>[[File:Gamma.png|20px]]</center> |
| | Doctor Strange, meanwhile, possesses potentially Thor's best lateral assist in Bolts of Balthakk, and his overall support value really shines when placed behind the God of Thunder. Thor can DHC from S.Jump height Mighty Tornado into Seven Rings, leading into a full strange combo. Alternately, Thor/Strange THC is very strong and kills everything. Great pairing. |
| | |
| | |-| Arthur = |
| | [[File:UMVC3 Arthur Icon.png|center|100px]] |
| | <center>[[File:Beta.png|20px]]</center> |
| | Arthur's Dagger Toss assist is a strong lateral assist, something Thor desperately needs. Additionally, Thor/Arthur DHC synergy is excellent, with Gold Armor into a full combo being a great way to finish off an opponent in Mighty Tornado at Superjump height. Gold Daggers are even stronger than base daggers, and enable a number of powerful combos and mixes. Great pairing. |
| | |
| | |-| M.O.D.O.K. = |
| | [[File:UMVC3 M.O.D.O.K. Icon.png|center|100px]] |
| | <center>[[File:Gamma.png|20px]]</center> |
| | MODOK's Psionic Blaster assist is extremely strong for Thor in both neutral and combos, and MODOK also offers strong TACs and Raw Tags in many of the same situations as Doctor Doom. Hyper Psionic Blaster DHC leads into a full follow up if you've saved an assist, and since thor doesn't use wallbounce, MODOK can be a strong damage engine for him. Great pairing. |
| | |
| | |-| Iron Man = |
| | [[File:UMVC3 Iron Man Icon.png|center|100px]] |
| | <center>[[File:Alpha.png|20px]]</center> |
| | As dollar store doom, Iron Man offers a strong beam assist, good TACs, and decent DHC synergy to Thor. He is a great partner for Thor overall, and you should feel good about playing them together. |
| | |
| | |-| Shuma-Gorath = |
| | [[File:UMVC3 Shuma-Gorath Icon.png|center|100px]] |
| | <center>[[File:Alpha.png|20px]]</center> |
| | Mystic Ray is one of thor's favorite assists. It is a full screen projectile assist and screen clear that also OTGs - what more could he want? Great assist, but outside of that the synergy is more limited. Still worth mentioning as one of his best partners, however. Shuma also enables the Thor/Dormammu pairing to actually function in a way that no other partner truly does, and is worth mentioning just for that. |
