The Power of Gaia! The Storm Combo Thread!

you cant waste any time whatsoever after the 2nd lightning sphere into the S, as soon as that recovery ends you gotta knock em down. thats the hardest part of the combo, once you get the timing its not that bad.

I’ve gotten fairly consistent with this offline.

I haven’t actually looked through the thread so sorry if this has been posted before.

Re: This combo, I can’t get the j.H to hit after the Sphere. Is there a trick to it? Height, timing, etc?

Maybe it has something to do with the distance between Storm and the opponent? Like the Sphere has to travel a bit before it hits them so Storm can recover in time to hit them with the j.H? Hmmm…

Edit: Yeah, I can hit the j.H now. If you’re doing this in the corner, you obviously need to replace the backwards LA with another forward one, but you also need to super jump backwards after the st.S. Now if I can get that j.S to hit…one move at a time :frowning:

Damn I’ve been away for too long. I’m about to pick Storm back up just been busy with real life shit

i think im the only one that plays this game anymore though lol

:lol: I was hoping more Storm tech was out but not that I see. Oh well back to the lab

everytime im on the verge of something amazing with her it just ends up not working in the end at like the last hit or so. kind of fustrating.

There actually is some new tech. Some of it has been shown on Fanatiq’s stream the past few days.

What was it?

The 18:00 minute mark is when he starts busting out some cool Storm tools. Goes from about 18:00 to 20:00. I’ve actually seen him succeed in pulling off the tri dash mixup/combo against Knives’ Sentinel. It was so funny cause after he won the match, Fanatiq threw off his hat and started screaming Beyonzo.

I seen a Japanese guy do the hi/low mixup online a while back but I did like that x-factor loop he was popping off with.

did you make this?

Indeed I did.

In the bradygames guide they talk about a mix-up where as a character comes in you throw an M lightning ball at them to put them in block stun, then air dash over for an air throw, though, I’ve never actually got this to work for me. Does it work for anyone else?

Also I’m curious as to what other incoming mix-ups I can try backed by drones? I’m really at a loss, I find it hard to ground the opponent so I can go for High-Lows.

I’ve only gotten it to work a handful of times. If anything it just makes it so you can safely dash and throw out an air heavy. I haven’t gotten an actual throw very often. But if the lightning sphere hits you can dash and hit with an air heavy then a ground launcher. I’m trying to figure out if there are any bigger combos I can get after launcher than just medium, heavy, S, ice storm.

Just like everyone else I’m having a hard time doing damage with storm. I’ve been playing the same team but switching point characters trying out alternatives to storm because… she’s ass. I’ve tried out Dante, Magneto, Doom and who knows who else and though they are better characrers… none of them are storm and when I play storm she fits like a glove.

Now after reconciling with not being able to do adequate damage I still have to ask: What combos can I do to get that fabled 1.1 mil using xfactor level 1 if i need or want to kill a character no matter what?

I know I’ve seen andy OCR doing xfactor relaunches via double typoon for a kill but, I can’t find the video for the life of me and I’m not even sure if it was xfactor 1 or even how he hit confirmed into it. Any help?

What other assists will work for that combo, if any? I don’t want to be trapped with Iron Man on my team.

I was about to post a “new” combo, then I saw the vids here and apparently Magneto-esque combos aren’t the best way to get damage. Good work!

Yes, I mess around with characters I’m not even sure if I like. :rofl:

It can be done with other assist just the timing on it changes along with the damage scaling. The only good thing about the combo,assist depending of course, is the fact it builds the meter Storm needs from it. For example, I can use missiles for it as well but the scaling drops the damage to about 580. Obviously she has better damaging combos but they don’t build meter. The best thing, for me using missiles at least, is if the combo scales damage too much go for the reset opp afterwards

I blame Airborne… :lol:o_O shrug
