Shuma-Gorath is indeed a Marvel Comics Doctor Strange adversary; the name was taken from a Conan author Robert E. Howard short story, in which it was invoked in a curse as belonging to a powerful spell-writer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shuma-Gorath#Publication_history

Okay so let me see if I remember how I finally sorted supers out: don't use Colossus' (except maybe easy-activation all supers by hitting both assist buttons point-blank in desperation), qcf+2K for Shuma's giant eyeball throwing, qcb+2P for Amingo's weird swallow--except that really only connects if the opponent is charging in on the ground, so maybe just wait for point-blank desperation easy-activation, that'll get the vine thing at least.

And then for the bosses, maybe this will work better than what I tried (which still almost worked!): Amingo vine vs first boss, Shuma eyeballs vs 2nd (that definitely *did* work), and Colossus super-armor vs 3rd boss, just jump and swing.

I think I could do it!

I'm in the last batch of characters to try in the game, and actually Shuma and Amingo were two I'd written off--scratched out of my team generator--but threw back in a week ago, thinking maybe I should give them another look. And they're fun! And pretty darn strong!

Gotta do a bit better with hand-to-hand with Colossus; should probably do the skipping around mashing assists thing slightly less with him and try go get in more big throws--although tanking him along with Amingo green tomatoes seems like it sorta isn't too bad.
