[Newbie] Storm Thread - Q & A

So are we calling it runaway or waiting for the right moment to put that rushdown um… down? Storm can kill in 3 resets or 1 long DHC combo w/sent. Justin Wong’s Storm is nasty,… so is Finesse’s and other peoples. Isn’t a rushdown designed for you to get lucky? If you are all over the person all the time then of course you’re gonna eat a captain corridor or psy assist. I think the best Storm is when she has no one and has to attack. IMO of course. But when it comes to winning games i guess the more you attack without the risk of getting hit back would be the safest strategy. Too bad its so :yawn:

its called runaway becuz its a form of keepaway that is more like running or like “air-turtlling”

but when storm is running away its not like she is being pressured or at a disadvantage she is just so nice in the air yo

yeah i feel you. i wen’t and looked at some tournaments on my computer and man does she throw assists, wind, and run away. Magneto looks lost when he faces off against her. She does take that power down though. I’m not trippin. part of why i liked her is because she owns the air,… and because i hate blackheart.

lol i like playing her cuz every other fighting game ever except for like dragonball Z is fighting on the ground, while storm and fight on the ground and air. Dont underestimate magneto though, he can still catch storm. he has the same Air Dash capabilities the only thing is storm can Float and just spends more time up in the air and she has the LA. But magneto has a better rushdown cuz so many things land into an infinite while storm only has an infinite on a standing character. but yeah storm is oodles of fun. And Blackheart or Capcom can hamper storms runaway because they have that colum assist that goes to the top of the screen

Storm has plenty of infinites on crouching characters.

I’m sure he means grounded…

storm HAS infinites on airborn characters AND grounded characters

Yeah, I know…

i wasnt talking to you :slight_smile: i was talking to sealhunta since he said storm only has infinites on a grounded character

Oh, cool…

okay yeah i was originally talking about grounded opponents when i meant standing so my bad. and as for the airborn inifinites, are u talking about super jump height infinites like the rom. or are u talking about nj height infinites. either way i dont know of any care to educate. i can sorta see how a nj infinite could be possible but super jump infinite, no way otherwise ppl would be using them more.

the only ones i know are the tj. hk and tj. lk hk

on big characters you can kind of do a ROM like combo. in the corner you have the korngo infinite and the hp sj cancelling infinite

can anyone post a sample of storm’s reset? i mean, the easiest/basic reset… thanks

launch /\ lk, lp, lk, addf (x) lk, LA xx HS

tri jump lk, lk. land… reset… tri jump lk, lk.

techmaster: putting three attacks in there during the air dash makes it easier to see. I prefer one…

sj, lp, addf ®, lk, la xx ls

my own favorite reset is (corner):
s.hp, s.hk, sj, hk, addf, hp, hk, s.hk otg (yes, this ALL can connect), LA xx LS. the side it hits on is a toss up. It’s very easy to make it hit from either side, and you get a TON of damage in the begining.

whatever works.

corner:

Launch /\ hk, adf, lk, lp, U+LA, U+LA, F+LA xx LS

the last lightning attack is blocked and brings them to the otherside of you for free super. even if they know its coming, you still only have a couple frames to block

that was a fast reply… thanks guys… ima try it later…

can you cancel the 3rd LA to LS? i thought you can only cancel into LS during the 1st or 2nd LA…

you can. you can cancel every special into a super, afaik
