The Power of Gaia! The Storm Combo Thread!

So true.

So what would be the optimal combo for storm?

Either a kill combo on an already injured opponent or a DHC kill or a raw tag kill or a TAC infinite kill.

Sounds over-simplified, but that’s what you want. If the opponent stands back up after you’re done, it was not an optimal combo, especially for Storm.

I was fooling around for a couple minutes in training mode today… Realized that Storm can do a combo, THC with Ammy, then super again… and if you really want to DHC to Ammy for a whopping 4 supers… all leading to 950k damage. Storm why you so weak?! T_T

So, covered this in the Storm guide, but the reason she does such low damage is:

1] low damage across the board on her normals; she does less damage on every move than most characters

2] high startup time on most moves; her slow moves take up valuable HSD time

3] limited use of special attacks before minimum scaling kicks in; without access to moves that prorate minimally, Storm is almost always doing pitiful damage

I would totally be fine with it if she could just stun people like Mags. Would be sick! Ammy’s Elements super always does extra low damage, though, I would hate having that for a THC, LOL.

Oh, so speaking of THCs, Storm/Vergil THC or Spencer/Storm/Vergil THC is BALLER AS FCK…since the enemy is pinned at a specific height, Vergil’s orbs don’t move the opponent and he gets massive damage it’s so beautiful.

At least we get raw tag shenanigans off of air throw

do you guys use typhoon when playing against another player?

new to storm. Loving the character and trying to learn some combos. I Went through the whole thread and still have alot of questions.

what is the most optimal combo for building meter?(solo)
what is the most optimal combo for damage?(solo)
what is the most damage you can do off of c.l hit confirm?(solo)

Also, Ive been trying out some of xero’s combos from his channel.

having trouble with getting the Air Dash Down H to connect at 0:04.

Also having trouble connecting the ADDF S after the Lighting Sphere.

After lightning sphere there’s no air dash just :s: I think I’ll be doing another short video with more Storm options in the next couple of weeks

a combo tutorial would be amazing^^^^^

Storm doom dante is just so good.

Really? I think Storm/Doom/Vergil is better.

I hope you enjoy this video, folks…
It’s brand new!

Wow. This video makes me upset that I’ve been doing the same Bnb for the last 3 years…

Yeah some of these routes are OD crazy.

Three things really stand out in this:

  1. Multiple lightning spheres
  2. Early use of Double Typhoon
  3. No lightning attack routes

The HSD on these combos is probably pushed to its limit but the really scary thing is how this display abstracts Storm’s combo routes. Just the other day when I was writing up a new format for the info thread I was thinking about how to explain the three routes we had with her…this blows everything out of the water. Time to go back to the drawing board, ladies.


from XERO

I was just about to post this :lol: I was meaning to do one midscreen as well. With some characters you actually have time to call assist and pick up

Comparing damage in a combo when lights are used in the start of them. I added more detail in the description

Here’s another damage comparison video. This time I looked at the modified standard BnB to see what could be changed on it for optimization. I added different starters with chained lights etc to show the damage scaling of the combos and that hsd still allows the combo to go through.

The thing I like most about the stuff you guys have been working on lately is how awesome it is that you’re actually getting enough meter (consistently) to fuel the Hail Storm enders.

Great work.
