[Newbie] Storm Thread - Q & A

if you mean do a air dash after her magic series and then repeat it you simply hold neutral while she’s doing the middle punch.

still that does little damage do this combo instead:

c. lk, c. mp, standing hk (launch) j. lp, j. lk, j. mp, j. mk, lighting attack x 2 xxx lightning storm and possibly dhc into something else afterwards.

I could never figure out the timing for the HCF after the 2nd LA, so I always use just one LA DHC to LS.

It’s pretty easy if you do the upfoward LA as the second one. Then you can just roll the stick all the way to forward and do the super.

I have a Storm/Sent-Y combo for you guys who would like to add it to your arsenal.

In corner:
st. lk, st. lk, st. hk + Sent, sj. hk, addf, ad. hk, landing as drones hit, st. hk, sj. lk, sj. lk, LAx2xxLS.

This is something that I came up with just playing around one day. It utilizes those two hk’s from the notorious FSD combo pretty much. Does around 80% on a Cable, and if you DHC Sent, I think you maybe can kill with that, but I’m not too sure. If that’s been posted already, disrgard it. Hope it helps though.

hi guys i have this problem with storm’s tri jump lk.i cant seem to connect c.lp,c.lp or s.lk,s.lk after the tri jump lk.the combo meter just would not add them together,i tried both variations of ad.d and ad.df still wouldnt work.must i superjump or normal jump?right now im using ad.df lk,up+hp/up+hk to link the combo,but it will help alot if i can combo from a single,tri.lk as well. thanks

You have to hit the lk lower to the ground. It’s not as easy as it should be. :slight_smile: I usually do tj. lk tj. hp, but you have to hold up for an instant after doing lk or the hp will whiff.

Yeah I have the same problem, I’ll try that techniqe CoosCoos to see if it helps.

But what is the timing? With one lightening attack I just set it off as soon as it hits. Is the timing for the second one early, late or just the same? I can’t figure it out.

Edit: Nope, still cant get it. I try timing it the same as if you only do one LA, but there’s no joy. I’m trying on the ground first, it’s still posible on the ground yes?

Damn timing.

I can usually get it to come out by doing the direction input and pressing lp+hp right after the 2nd lk+hp. Imagine Magneto hitting c.lk c.mk in succession as quickly as possible - the timing should be just a bit slower.

Let’s see if I can try and explain it a little better, granted hopefully it’ll sound right lol.

Time your cancels so that, when you hit each lightning attack hits, you’re ready to do another motion. So when your first lightning attack hits, immediately do the second one, and when that hits, immediatly do the super.

Hopefully it should work. Another thing that helps me when I do the LAx2 xx LS, is that I lift my hand a millimeter off the buttons, so that I can hit the button as soon as the first lightning attack hits. Not so much that you look stupid or anything, just a little bit, to react to the lightning attacks.

I hope any of this helps you in some way.

Thanks, I’ll have to try it. Unforunatly I’ve broke my hand, lol, so I’ll give it a shot when I’m out this damn cast.

I have a good question and its pretty basic, does mashing increase damage percentage for storm’s lighting storm and hail storm?

I usually mash regardless, but I dont know if it does increase damage for the lightning storm or hail storm.

yeah it does, especially when you catch an assist character as well, mash like crazy

I’m a beginner Storm player and my serious team is Storm Spidey Doom (I don’t plan on playing in any serious tourneys, only local shit). What would you recommend I set my assists to, not only for Storm but the entire team. And do I have the best order for this team or should it be switched around.

does that apply for her lighting storm as well? What other characters besides cable does hyper specials work while mashing?

Most super moves involving projectiles can be mashed for more projectiles and thus more damage.

Lightning Storm, however, cannot be mashed. I tested this, so everybody just stop trying.

Thanks, seriously. =)

I’ve told people this but it has to do with ummm something else… I dont know, they just say it makes them feel adequate once they mash something…Dunno, its a lost cause …

Also the best position that will get more hits is up and to the right of you. that usually gets 23 on cable.

why does a upward la and a neutral la do the most damage?

because the character gets caught between two lighting’s. and the farther the character is from storm the more damage.

And also if u mash on lighting storm it wont do no extra damage.

sup here’s some combos i’ve seen ppls use lately:
storm in corner: s.hk, sj lp lk lp lk hk otg with hp s. lk s.lp reset into trijump lk or just c.lk into whatever
in corner again: s.hk sj hk ad/df hk land c.lk s. lp reset into high or low again.
midscreen: launch magic series then hk when they’re getting up you can either tri jump lk or dash c.lk.

i think the weakness with these resets are to get out of them you only need to jump after getting up off the ground, but hopefully your opponent won’t know that.:wonder:
oh one more, c.lk c.hk sj ad/f after storm is about an inch off the ground, it should put you behind them lk la xx ls
