    immortals for protoss, and you have to just have a lot more **** as zerg, preferably ultras, lings, and mutas. Look up the magic box on youtube for how to micro your mutas vs thors.

    You'll want to have brood lords and roaches, throw in a couple ultras if you can afford them. They soak up a lot of damage (with upgrades) and the cleave they have on the marines is really good. Infestors with fungal growth on MM balls also are sweeeeeet, and if you can manage to mind control a couple thors, that's going to tip the balance in your favor as well.

    Oh and if you use roaches: get the tunneling upgrade. Like, as soon as you can. Popping up right around such a ball of units of MM + thors is crucial, otherwise you'll get half your units focus fired down before you can even get close.

    If you really want to try something fun: burrowed banelings at choke points on the map. When his army walks over it, detonate and watch the fun. Just make sure to burrow a couple of zerglings ahead of these "mine fiels" to check if he has any ravens with him. If your lings die, he has some, so quickly unburrow your banes and tell them to get out of there, because on their own they're not going to do much. ^^

    Thors are not very good anti-air units even though they have anti-air weapons.
