I am really getting bored with Storm…
Magnus is out of the question, I hate him and can’t stand using him. Strider, CapCom for the AAA, Doom, and IM have all been tried, but I am not sure who else to try. My top pick right now is Strider and CapCom… any other suggestions? I would be putting Sentinel on point I guess.
I’m gonna say this as easily as possible. DON’T USE STRIDER, unless you’re REALLLLLLLLLLLY good with him, otherwise, he’s just a free dead character. And you’re not even gonna bother using him with Doom…move on and stick with Storm.
I don’t bother using him with Doom because I don’t have room for him. I am better with the first two and adding one other in, rather than removing a good character of mine for another. Anyway… I am not sticking with storm, but I guess I will find someone other than Strider.
super new to this game btw…but anyway i have a DC and i’m doin my best with the pad but i feel really limited, especially when i have to do lighting attacks/smart bombs…its hard to hit those two buttons anyway do all of you use invest in arcade sticks or what?
second, iron mans infinite, the one where he just jumps and does LP, MP, LK, U+HP, over and over, can i do that strait off of an assist like psylockes or cyclop’s?
ok… as far as an arcade stick… it is a really good investment… not only for practice, but also for the fact that it will save you money going to the arcade… it’s good to go to the arcade sometimes, but when you just want to practice against people you play everyday, it’s good to have a stick so you can play at home… If you want a good quality stick, my friend pep is making them for 75 bucks… all arcade parts, good wood, custom graphic, easy to fix and modify…
now on to iron man infinite… yes, you can hit it off of any assist that puts them in position, they don’t need to be in some weird falling animation for it… good assists for setting it up are war machine anti air assist, bb hood projectle, psylocke anti-air, cyclops anti-air… just experiment… if you are going to use iron man, you should learn how to go into the infinite off of a crouching short (search the forums if you need to learn setups)
oh yeah, for a lot of characters that i use when i play on a dc pad, i use my right hand index and middle fingers to tap everything… makes lighting attack/drill claw/smart bomb people easier to use, also makes air dashing easier
thanks for the help and the swift response…and yeah i use my index and middle finger in the same manner, it works decently well…i’ve gotton to the point where i can do grav-tempest pretty consistently, still havin trouble with the IM infinite tho, i was just practicing with psylocke’s assist but i can only get about 2 reps (i think i got 3 once lol) before the character falls to low for me to connect the first LP…i guess i just need to practice and work on the timing and jump-in some more…i’ll check up on that c.short combo…thanks again
With Doom, just wait until she comes down and try and get her in blockstun with Doom then RUSH THAT SHIT DOWN. Otherwise, try and stay above Storm and if she gets really predictable with her sj. fierces you could go for the random hypergrav xx tempest.
What techniques do you recommend in order to learn Sents fast fly combo. Is there a certain timing involved? What did you do to learn it ? any certain movement? I can’t get the freaking combo down. And yes i’ve heard a million times that you have to tap a direction. and i still don’t get it. Thanks in advance
Depends what fast-fly combo you’re talking about. I assume you’re talking about a solo one. Usually I don’t just “tap” a direction but rather do two quarter circles backwards. The first quarter circle back is used for the fly command while the other is used for the direction you tap. I find this easier than just tapping a direction after putting the joystick is in neutral.
So my input would be like this for his MagA fast fly combo:
launch, sj. lk, qcb+kk, qcb+lk+assist, fp, lp rp.
Try it and see if it works for you.
Edit: Personally, I tend to stay away from his solo fast fly combos as they’re usually not worth the effort or damage. Stick to lp, mp, rp or magic series rp (or lk, mk, dp rp for air fights when solo). Guaranteed good damage with minimal effort.
After you fly, you HAVE to let the joystick go back to neutral position before tapping a direction. And yes, stay away from solo fly combos because any of the top tier characters can punish you (unless you can unfly fast enough and are in UnFly mode)…The list of the ways to punish a solo fly combo is (ONLY if it ends with a rocket punch):
Cable: sj.FP xx AHVB
Storm: LA xx LS
Sentinel: LP Rocket Punch
Magneto: Dash forward -> sj.LK, sj.LK, Grav xx Tempest
Now, if you’re doing sj.LK, sj.LP, fly, sj.LK, sj.LP, sj.FP, that’s unpunishable, depending on what the situation is. But, yeah, only do a fly combo if you’ve got an assist to add damage, otherwise the risk/reward factor is too small.
well, since i believe you are super cool, i will give you some advice on your runaway storm problem… unfortunately, runaway storm is the best tactic in the entire game, and unfortunately, she can just fall with shorts and hit you into “LIGHTNING STORM”, then storm runs out of there like a beast and in comes sentinel, bam bam bam, launch bam bam CAPTAIN CORRIDOR rocketpunch, ggpo!
but if you do have mag/doom, you want to do a few things, first of all, if she’s in the air you want her to waste her air dash and her lightning attack by chasing her and scaring her with just magneto. when she is above you falling with no mobility, call doom and dash, superjump short to try to catch her… if it hits, fierce roundhouse that shit to hit her back to the ground and proceed from there, if she hits you with short it’s ok because doom rocks got your back, if she gets hit with rocks try to jump and combo her, if not then wait for her to come back down and cross that bitch up… if she tries to hailstorm just normal jump “EM-DISRUPTOR!!!” and she’ll fall to the ground like the bitch that she is… infortunately, these tactics do not work on me because i am too good, but they do have their uses.
Speakin of Run Away Storm…
How can I effectively piss people off and destroy them :evil:, with my Storm by running away…I am semi good at running away, but manage to get knocked down rather easily , so what are your tacticz for this. and was up with team Doom/Storm/Sent are they really any good like say team Mag/Psy/Storm?
ok, pissing off people with runaway storm is all a matter of frustrating them… here are a few tactics…
runaway from the beginning of the match, be really patient and just punish mistakes… float over someone while ramming on short… if short hits, do another one, lightning attack, super, dhc, dhc to do damage… then build more meter and dhc back to storm… repeat… i’ll post more later, gotta go
