I’m trying to make my Jill (sommersault) Storm (whirlwind) Skrull (tenderizer) team work. Any suggestions on team order, assists and tactics?
I confess… Storm is there for DHCs… I still need to learn how to play her.
I’m just curious about people’s thoughts on what assists are the best for Storm. It could be beneficial to make a list and talk about each one so that people can just refer to that.
Also wondering what people think of Storm+Doom missiles?
Jill and skrull are great anchors but as for rushdown jill is better. Damage wise skrull and kill the entire cast in 5 hits. Storm would be good on second so I’d just switch skrull and jill around when necessary and change the assists maybe to make them more appropriate combo and rushdown wise.
How are Storm and Dante together? Or Storm and Dormammu? (Stormammu)
Could you specify which assists to choose? I personally think storm’s is ok but what do you suggest?
You don’t need to change your assist for Skrull or Jill, just the order. If I remember right somersault is the anti air assist with all the invincibility, if that’s the case then my point stands. Tenderizer locks down for you while you are rushing in. Storm won’t get much using Stone Smite or his Orbital move (forgot the name). Also both Dark Hole and Missiles work good with Storm as I explained in an earlier post.
What I was getting at with the assists was for more appropriate matchups. Orbital is kind of a get off me move is the other team is more rushdown oriented and if he’s planning on comboing I think jills wall bounce kick is better (unless that is somersault)
Orbital gets stuffed on startup and the wall bounce kick not only has bad start up it sends Jill outwards making her vulnerable which takes away from Storm actually accomplishing her goal since she now has to make Jill safe. Storm isn’t a combo machine. She wants assist that are going to cover her. All orbital is going to do is give her time to do hailstorm, which she can do by herself same with Jill’s kick. Tenderizer on the other hand can at least hold them in place to allow her to do both jump and fly loops in the corner meaning more meter build. Outside of combos it gives her the hi/lo mixup since you can duck under tenderizer, allowing you to up down up down for a while to psych them out. Jill would be the anti air assist that would stop the likes of Mags, Dante and other tri/square dash characters from rushing you freely. It also let’s Storm start combos. I understand he’s not building the team around Storm as she’s second but you still have to consider the strengths for the second character just as much as the point character.
So I’ve decided to start running Doom/Storm/Dante. I was using Missiles with Doom, but I feel like Storm would do well with a beam to get in. Jam Session seems like a good assist for both her and Doom. I dunno if anyone has done shenanigans with that assist and Fair/Foul Wind, but it’s been pretty funny so far for me.
i’ve used storm a little here and there. she’s one of my favorite characters, but i really don’t understand how to play her!
the team i would put her on is Storm, Morrigan, Dr. Strange.
spell of vistanti and hail storm compliment each other really well. if i do a combo into hail storm on a cornered opponent, i can dhc to morrigan’s astral vision and land 2 (possibly 4) soul drains and get some meter back. not sure if it works midscreen.
someone said storm’s whirlwind is good for Dr. Strange.
oh, and i’ve seen people online use a stationary assist, like hyakuretsukyaku or eye of agamotto, and then use storms foul wind to pull them into it! lolol
Quick question, is MSS the best team for storm?
If you were going to have a team specifically built around Storm, not really.
So what would be a nice anchor for doom, storm? Doesn’t have to be an amazing anchor like wesker but should have synergy with them and can hold his/her own.
Anchor Ammy with X-Factor is quite strong. She also provides a great lockdown assist for both Storm and Doom.
Looking at dorm ammy nd a couple more.
akuma assist works great and is a great anchor. sent, great assist not so good anchor. dante great assist and good anchor. hawkeye iron man and strider also good assist and anchor wise.
i use ammy anchor with storm and it’s great for the mixups and lockdown but, if you’re starting from scratch i’d recommend akuma. ammy is so ass for comebacks, you pretty much already lost if you’re down to just ammy.
Not according to marlin pie.
he does it sometimes and he’s the best
Playing against many other people who could claim to be “the best.”
