i just started playing mvc2 i really like storm i wanna learn how to use her to her full capability… what is a good team to play with her

To start off (this may sound cliche), try MSP out. The reason is really for Psylocke. Storm can chain a lot of stuff with Psylocke’s assist. But from a beginners standpoint, you really just want to learn some basic combos first.

Basic Combo- cr.lp, cr.lk, cr.lp, cr.lk, hk. 5 hit combo
Basic Combo- lp2, hk, lp, lk, hp -OR- lk2, hk, lk2, hk
Basic Combo- cr.lp, cr.hp, lp2, hp.
Basic Combo- cr.lp2, cr.hk, ad+upf (air dash + up & foward), lp2, hp OR hk.
Basic Combo- lp2 (or lk2), hk, lk, lp, lk, lightning attack (hp+ hk) upf.

Now, you want to add Psylocke into those combos, and continue into whatever you desire next. To add Psylocke, just assist with her either at the end of a lk or lp, or at the end of the hk launch. Im not gonna list all of the combos, I figure you can put 2 & 2 together with the above combos. In closing, MSP is a good team to play with, because they have speed, offense, and a decent defense. Theyre not known for their defense though, so its about the offensive skills. So, practice in training mode with those particluar combos, and work on more ellaborate combos to enhance your game. Also, if your style is somewhat more liking to ground fighters (mainly Capcoms), then you may want to just have Storm, and work with some other ground-based characters.

Hope I helped out a bit…

Just read the advice I gave some guy named “Eve”. I listed some basic combos for Storm, and how to execute lightning attack. If youre playing on stick, its hp +lk.

Hey, I was just wondering what I could do to help boost my Storm skills and overall technique. I noticed that she’s supposedly “God Tier”, and possess a vast amount of techniques while managing to move about freely and practically kill the opposing individual’s character sometimes in under 20 seconds. It would much appreciated to know some good partners she works with, assists, etc. Some strategies, techniques, etc. Thanks in advance. :smiley:

what are some some storm resets w/ MSP. i’ve seen at least one or two that’s about 12-13 hits, it’s a midscreen reset with psylocke, kind of looks a lot like magnus rom reset when he flys under but i don’t know the input.

re-read the thread, almost all of storms moves have already been discussed.

Hey… I am pretty much a new player…

I am having problems playing msp…
I don’t know rushdown or keep away is with storm…
What about rushdown with mag?

are there any popular infinites I can learn for her or popular comboes?
Vids?

Also… what the hell is magic before the LA…

Magic series b4 Lightning attack is 1, 2, 3, 4 - meaning Lp, Lk, Mp, MK then LA

Vids you can get from www.zachd.com/mvc2

Look for combo vids on the left. Youtube has alot too - dj B13 is a good start.
Rushdown with storm is using tri jumps with Lk ( sj / quick nj then Airdash DF LK) for a fast overhead.
She has an easy Infinite on a standing Sentinel. Can do a tri jump infinite too.
Keep away is sj and airdashing to the top of the screen with sj HP’s to build meter - or just running the clock down.
The other threads wil have what you want - use the show threads from the begining tab

I really hope somebody reads this shit…

Hey guys, I would like to learn Ruby a/storm a/Doom b. I want to learn how to use Storm with the RubyHeart assist and the Doom assist. I can live without the RubyHeart assist. I just need to learn doom. Is it similar to Magneto/Doom?

You can make it similar, provided that you’ll be careful not to get rushed down yourself.

Using Doom assist is pretty straightforward – call Doom in their face and attack (preferably from the opposite side). The problem is it can be avoided or nullified easily, either by superjumping beforehand or countercalling with an AAA.

Things off the top of my head:

On Doom:

  1. Don’t treat Doom assist as an anti-air, cuz it’s not.
  2. Learn when to call Doom. Basically it’s all about avoiding/baiting the opponent’s possible countercall.
  3. Be careful of possible jump ins every time you decide to call Doom.
  4. Doom is very vulnerable from assist punishing and snapbacks because he appears where your point is and stays there for some time before getting out.
  5. In my experience, Doom assist gets stuffed way too easily, even by normals.
  6. Learn to combo off of an unblocked assist hit.
  7. Refrain from using Doom assist as OTG. It’s not worth it.
  8. Keeping away with Doom assist is sketchy at best. With Sentinel drones, you can hide behind Sentinel if needed and let the robot absorb attacks. Also, his projectiles appear quickly. Doom is not as big as Sentinel is, has no Super Armor, and appears beside you when called. His rocks take too long to release to use as keepaway.
  9. Doom assist has a huge blind spot behind him (like most assists have). The problem is, it’s easy for your opponent to get there, especially if you let them.
  10. Learn to use Doom on point. Use his normals!

On Storm/Doom:

  1. Always try to mix things up. Be careful not to get too carried away with rushdown – she’s no Mag.
  2. Use storm’s versatility and Doom assist to add another dimension to her game: the chipping game. Use sporadically.
  3. Most Storm/Doom teams don’t use an anti-air. WATCH YOUR HEAD!
  4. Combos similar to – launch + Doom, short air combo to FS into Doom rocks, land, relaunch – ARE NOT WORTH IT.
  5. Use air hk to control the air. if with meter to burn, use lightning attack xx LS.

short: are there anything/mix up storm can do after the magic combo? (ends with HP)

long: The only ones i can think of is low lk, lp, hk or instant air lk overhead. However, whenever i try doing this my opponent would just jump back avoiding this situation all together. I wonder what options do i have if my opponent decides to jump back after i end the magic combo with HP?

Highly informative…

If you still need help with this PM me.

Hi new poster on the forums here. This may seem like a stupid question but can any1 plz show me the correct timing for storm’s LA to DHC into HSF. I can usually do it on bigger enemies like sent, juggz, and BH but not really on normal characters. Much appreciated :slight_smile:
