The Ultimate Storm Thread v2.01 (Updated 2020.07.25)

Sweet. What did you do to get it to work? And I’m not too concerned about RR. He’s not that common and he has low health anyways.

the long air combo

Nothing different I plinked lightning attack with the assist button. I used Dante and Akuma. Remember you’re super canceling the recovery frames on landing of lightning attack.

You mean her fly loop? Hmm, I don’t know how I can help you there really. After you launch go straight into :h: so you are still relatively low to the ground then dash forward :h:. There’s a short delay when dashing that way you can get the full dash to allow them time to drop before the second j:h: connects. From there cancel :h: after the air dash into flight. Storm recovers from activation faster than it looks so hit :l: :h: after you see her finish her twirl from starting flight. (To make it easier at first you can do :l: :m: :h: ) After that :h: air dash forward with :h:. You will repeat the air dash forward :h: four times, after the fourth one you will see Storm kinda come to a halt in her flight, this is when you tap :s:. Upon landing you can do :l: double typhoon into the double super setups but since you are trying to land this I will say just go into hailstorm first and practice that until you get it 10/10 times

I’ll try that either tomorrow or later. Thanks! : )

So today was the first time I ever went to a live FGC event. It was just a small weekly gathering of casuals. The overall experience was “eh” (nobody bothered to say “Hi” and only one person said like… 2 sentences to me that were more of comments and less of conversation. And I didn’t even get a chance to play because everyone was hogging the machines :confused: And they all knew that I was a newcomer and today would be my first time being there because I shared that on the Facebook group… Everyone was welcoming there but nobody did more than occasionally glance at me when in person…) but that is besides the point.

The main point is that I think I have a shot of being one of the best in my area if I start investing the time into this game. So I think I’ll be playing a lot more Marvel soon… so expect me to be whining on here a lot from now on lol

It’s cool I’m sure whining is welcome so long as it’s within reason. With that said, today I’m going to Seoul to try and find the Marvel scene of Korea to try some Storm stuff out. I won’t have videos but I will have stories if I find it. When I get back I’ll also be finishing up this small video of guard breaks with Storm with a detailed description. sj ad/df :l: and sj ad/df :m: work best IMO. Lightning sphere only really works when they pushblock as it has too much block stun and forces them to the ground faster. j:l: would be the best as it has less block stun but I’ll write all that detail out when I get to uploading it.

Please beat them using Storm mainly. : )

I’m really liking this Magneto/Storm/Strange team. I was able to get Storm to deal 1,000,000 damage for 2 bar cost (3 supers though)… but the meter build is pretty crazy because of FoF loops. Plus if Magneto is still there she has access to an infinite. Now I just need to not suck with Magneto and Strange… Strange will be the hardest for me because I like mobile characters and he… isn’t.

I see a lot of potential with this team. I’m excited.

What’s your assist? Eye would probably be good since you’ve got EM with Magneto.

That team sounds really fun, actually. Strange super fun once you get out of “I want to move in a certain way” mode. He’s definitely more of a counterpuncher.

I will be updating this thread maybe by the end of the month. I forgot to mention that I’m working on a GFAQs port and a GDOCs port of this guide and I want to finish them before I forget which versions are updated and which aren’t. Also have to update the EHubs port of this when I get a chance.

I use Bolts assist. Eye is nice and all but whirlwind isn’t strong enough of a neutral assist to warrant not using Bolts. Besides, bolts has a nice little gimmick in that if your character is a small enough croucher then you either have to stand and block bolts or eat an overhead. Which is nice for Storm’s fast float overheads. Plus neutral is sort of my weak spot in this game. I like bolts being able to apply some full screen pressure for me to figure out an approach.

And yeah… I’m not there yet with him xD And I’m not there yet with Magneto. I keep wanting him to have a float too lol Magneto feels much more… left-brained so to say. Very calculated approaches… where as Storm feels more right-brained where it seems more intuition based and doing what “feels” right.

And wow. You are busy!

Edit: Ugh… everytime I go to play this game against another actual person and not in training mode I am reminded of why I never was able to take this game seriously :confused: So sick of all the stupid shit that works in this game. Stupid X-factor, stupid Doom missiles… stupid mindless brainded mash H “Oh hey look I didn’t want a throw but I got one because I keep smashing the H button” into OTG into death. This game would be so much more fun without X-factor and with lower damage with a bigger emphasis on resets. Instead of X-factor I would soooo appreciate something like a Blazblue burst or something.

Marvel should never have a burst system. Xfactor needs a strong tone down air techs should only be neutral and they need to open up the combo system without incorporating a bs hsd system. Also yes damage damage must go down

Basically IMO X-factor should function like it does but without the strength/speed boost except maybe to Phoenix because her whole design functions around it. I do like the idea of having one burst per match though so I guess we just disagree on that.

The throws are really what irk me though. I’m always like, “I KNOW you were trying to footdive. So not fair you got a throw.” Especially with characters with great j.H like Nova.

I don’t like OS’s in general. Too many pecautionaries in fighters nowadays

It’s really unfortunate. I don’t mind some OS because you can’t really avoid all of them and some of them are not worth developing around, but the OS tech in SF4 and MvC3 are just out of hand. You can build a gameplan with OS actually being a pillar of that plan; this should not ever be the case.

I like OS but I don’t like it when you are able to do “accidental” OS. If you are doing an OS… it should because you set out to do a specific OS.

Having some growing pains with this team… Really hard for me to figure out how to beat mashers. Like… if someone mashes cr.L while I’m trying to open them up with my assist covering me… since the assist isn’t a true blockstring they can sometimes open me up and get a happy birthday.

I was getting pissed today against this Mag/Storm/Dante player today… With Storm he would block one hit and then mash cr.L. Sad thing was it kept beating out my moves too :confused: I hate losing to bad players -_- And I could tell he was bad because he would do L,M,H,S, j.H, Lightning Attack, Lightning Storm. Seriously? I don’t know how to deal with mashers in this game :confused: In something like SF you can just DP but not so in this game.

You just need more solid traps. If you have a hole big enough for c.:l: to come out, that hole is simply too big.

Mashing out isn’t necessarily the sign of a bad player and if I play someone who leaves gaping holes in their strings, I am in there with a quickness.

To be honest, sometimes it’s better to set up traps differently with different characters. If you are playing Storm, right, you can set up traps with c.:l: delays since the range is good and the speed is okay. If you’re playing Chun, you probably don’t want to set up frame traps, but put people in blockstrings and jump cancel out of those strings and have those cancels be your traps.

Either way, try adjusting your style to make people block more first before you begin to try to trap people. Enforce the respect first. Traps are there to give people a glimmer of hope when they don’t want to block anymore and to then deny them that hope. Starting off with that is a recipe for disaster, especially with a game as disrespectful as this one.

Thing is I’m not even going for traps. It’s just bad online play (probably should have mentioned this experience was online).

I literally just wanted to do j.S (blocked) into cr.L, but they were mashing and got out of it. I just want a PS4 already with some games with nice crisp online netcode.

Ah, I see I see.

Yeah, if it’s online that’s much harder. Just try to hit your jump ins much deeper and buffer your inputs in ahead of time but you already know these things, hahaha.

Online is what it is, gotta make the most of it.

Yeah. I would love if they patched the game and released the new version on PS4 and Xbone. I can dream can’t I?

Also… I don’t care if I’m in the minority for this but if it were up to me the Hulk would get some nerfs lol I get that he isn’t that good at top level… but I hate derpy characters. I think I’d change his standing H to be slower so you can actually do 2 lights to knock him out of it if you see it coming. I’d also change his command throw to only work on aerial opponents. Seriously… he is reaching to the sky… why does it grab crouching opponents? Then I think I would change his Gamma Crush super to be invincible on the way up but not on the way down… and fix his hitbox so things like st.H don’t hit behind him. In return, I’d bump up his health (even more) to 1,300,000 and… give him other stuff that is useful but needs a brain to use xD Hulk/Sentinel/Doom is just… so derpy lol Isn’t that close to the team Mike Ross uses except without Doom? Exactly.

Sorry everyone -_- I’m a salty player. I whine about everything when I’m grinding a game xD Feel free to ignore me if I start getting to you :stuck_out_tongue:

Edit: Yeah… I don’t think I can keep playing this game. It’s such a problem… Storm is such a good fit for me but I can’t find teammates who work with her. Magneto is okay but all the assists that work with him I’m just terrible with. I hate having to babysit my assist calls… so I like assists like Akuma or Frank West. But I need characters with good mobility so Wolverine/Storm/Akuma isn’t an option for me… My original Chun/Storm/Akuma is the team that meshes best with me as a player but its just so low tier :confused:

Can Capcom just go ahead and make a 1v1 Marvel game?

They should bring the original super armor back from mvc2. It came before that I know but you get the point. Loses to air heavies and slows the animation to allow another hit to break it.

On the subject of traps and block strings it’s great to adjust your combos to compensate for block string series
