[Newbie] Storm Thread - Q & A

ok… thanks again for the resets… peace

if u do a LS after the 3rd LA it won’t combo.

not true. you can get 3x LS on sentinel, juggernaut, blackheart, and MAYBE hulk in the corner.

i was working on the storm corner combo:

launch, sj.hk, addf, sj.hk, addf, now at this point, when i land, when im going to OTG them, what would i do to get them into the infinite?

How did you manage to air dash twice?

i know you didn’t mean two air dashes.

so after that… you go…

c.lp, j.lk, d+lp, lk, hk, whatever from there…

ok, thanks, will try it out.

where would you do the d+lp,lk,hk? is it during a jump?

where else would you do that? i’m sorry i didn’t write my statement 1000000% clear.

^ sorry bout that man… peace

question about this combo:

launch + cap xx hail

why can’t i get good damage off of this combo even if i mash?

its not supposed to do tons of damage

No, it’s still useful.

yeah… it’s not supposed to do any good damage. but it will if you do it this way

c.lk -> c.mk -> s.hk(OTG)+capcom -> hailstorm.

if you’re doing the launch+capcom on an assist, you have to pause for a second before doing hailstorm for it to do more damage. You can even time a qcf+lk/hk XX hailstorm to hit the assist before it touches the ground when falling.

really? i didn’t thought of that… ima try that tomorrow… :wgrin:

the reason for the pause is that when you do hailstorm right away, there’s minimal damage because the assist is way up in the air. Pausing would place the assist in a favorable position for good damage even before the assist would touch the ground and leave the screen.

What are some good rushdown tactics with storm?

if the opponent knows you like to tri jump lk, keep going low…sounds basic…hits G’s o.0

do the floating tri jumps to throw timing off

and sometimes dont do anything, and hail their assist when they call it cuz you scare them =)

if you can do these three things without getting hit squarely, you should have control of the match and be able to dictate how it is going to be fought =) and win =)

Thanks alot. Right now I’m in that habit of just tri jumping everything when I rush down somebody w/ Sent assist and I usually get ass raped.

if you know the float tri jump thingy. you can do a lot of mixups like what
50mOrEcEnTz just said.

like throw a trijump and go low(they block), then do another trijump but float and add hp before you land. you get my point? some basic high/low mixups… keep your opponent guessing. this strategy is good if you have a sent-Y to back you up with.
