[Newbie] Storm Thread - Q & A

the hailstorm hits OTG. you can’t OTG twice, so if you DHC after the OTG, you’re done. don’t DHC out of hailstorm almost ever. some combos from HS to HSF work… but not to AHVB. don’t bother with that. worry about getting it with LS DHC HVB.

if you ever notice the CPU roll out of HS after the first hit? HS knocks down and OTGs, which isn’t abad thing, but it’s not the most effective way to DHC out of. sometimes it will cause a bounce… other times, it will not.

ive been practicing more and more on arcade and the thing that i really am struggling to get used to is doin the air combo ending in LA XX LS idk y why i cant seem to get the timing on the buttons and motions rite… i actually find it easier tri jumpin on an arcade machine then on PS2… do u have n e lil tips to help me out with the air combo on arcade?

The PS2 has input lag.

the fuckin edit thing don’t work for me for some reason…

PS2 has input lag but not to the point where it should affect LA xx LS

reason you’re probably having a hard time is because you’re probably trying it on pad.

the thing with me doin it is i launch them i chase after them… ill connect the lp,lk and the mp or mk usuall whiff… ive only connected it correctly, diagonally up LA XX lS for 24 hits only once it jus feels like im inputing the button commands too fast or too slow. and what do u mean by pad?

Just do sj.lk sj.mk LA xx LS. That’s all you need.

thanx i actually found something out last nite practicing… that if u do the horizontal LA and u jus cancel it a lil quicker then normal theyll fly up to practically the same position as if the diagonally up LA and u can cancel into LS and get the same amount of hits i got 27-28 more often then wen i did it diagonally up. jus thought is put it out there and share it wit you guys. dont kno if itll b much use but i fin it makes the air combo easierr to pull off since u dont have to put the joystick up then go around to do HCF but thatll be for you guys to descide.

question… i was using my team of storm/tron/akumaAAA and i was facing storm/sentinel/capt.comm and i reached a point where i whooped his storm but then came sentinel… and thats where things went wrong quickly… he knew how to play a decent sentinel, atleast the flying, stomping, avoid my AAA, amd calling commando part. my akuma AAA couldnt hit him cuz he jus out maneuver him and call commando and akuma would eat corridor all match lucky for me i remember double typhoons and thats where he came down to earth and i started rushing him down… my question is what can you as storm facing a flying sentinel with commando covering his ass down below in my situation with a AAA like akuma or cammy? i kno it would easier with commando or blackheart but with the AAA i play with mostly?

ok the only thing holding me back with storm is that every time i launch i cant connect the AC LAxxLS to savemy life… i have no idea y. i cant push the buttons rite, when i do i whiff on the medium attacks, wen i connect the medium attacks the lightning attack misses… serioulsy what is it to the combo. how to do u have ur fingers placed on the buttons? the timing, tips, n e thing cuz its borderline aggrevating in a match that i launch them so much and i cant seem to connect combo. please help thanx in advance.

haha

s.hk - middle finger
hold u/uf (up or up-forward, depending on range)
sj.lk sj.mk - both with thumb
uf if you aren’t already at uf
LA (optional x 2) - thumb on lk, middle on hp
from uf rotate backward (uf, u, ub, b, db, d, df, f) to f
lp+hp to start super

Cancelling the LA into LS might take a few tries, but it’s not that hard. Just don’t do it slow, or too fast.

Up-forward LA almost never whiffs, but you can also do forward LA. I just like holding UF since it works for me.

thanx a bunch man ive been trying all sorts of differnet ways to have my fingers on the buttons and timing and differnet variations with jus the punches, the magic series, jus the kicks but nothing seems to work rite… i jus cant seem to get the right timing to it i can do it on PS2 wit my eyes closed but for reason doing it in arcade is not goin too well for me… everything i do with storm is rushdown rushdown combo on the ground or aircombo ending is HP and whirlwindsxxhailstorm… if only i could do training mode in the arcades that would be gr8… im gonna try to find myself an arcade box and practice…

finally im startin to get the air combo down pat on arcade and ive found that dropping t.boone proj and tri jumping if u get them with the rings and launch and end in LS. its huge damage! i ran into this guy who i havent played since the fall and he busted out this new team of guile AA/akuma exp/capt commando AA. dont ask me y or how its done but it works… combos with guile ending in commandos corridor, same thing with akuma… weird as hell but he actually beat me twice until i beat him n e thoughts on this? cuz it left me a lil surprised

My team consists of storm/sent/psy or cyclops… 1 questions?

-should i use psy or cyclops as my main assist…

Cyclops.

psylocke gives about 1% help to sentinel, and like… 20% to storm

cyclops gives about 70+% to storm, and about 50+% to sentinel… go with cyclops.

serious damn…i like psy but she is too weak…but thatnks for the input

yea cyclops is a better help to both storm and sentinel… there both good on point but like u said psy is jus to weak and cant really do much on her own

How can i combo with storm using cyclops aa

its tough ive found myself playing storm/cable/tron recently which is a really gr8 team… off of cyclops i wouldnt kno how to do it i would guess mayb have cyc hit and after the beam part mayb lk lk lightning attack forward or diagnoally up and LS but im jus guessing

air combo, free hailstorms… depends on what you’re trying to do.
