== Story ==
|'''OH! OH! OH! OH! OH! OH!'''
Storm, born Ororo Munroe, is a character from the X-Men series by Marvel. She is a mutant born with the ability to control and manipulate the weather at her will. Growing up as an orphaned thief on the streets of Cairo, Egypt, she would use her newfound abilities to aid local farmers as a teenager during droughts by summoning rain and eventually help protect the world from various threats alongside the X-Men.
|-
|Runaway, Rushdown, Hailstorm, DHC.
|-
|'Nuff said.
|-<br />
|<br />Probably the most well-rounded of the big 4 (Sent doesn't count, he's a big robot), Storm is a character you don't wanna kill off, because even with a pixel left, being able to DHC into Hailstorm is a big threat.

== Gameplay ==


== Normal Moves ==
Storm is quite possibly the most versatile of all the Marvel characters in the game. She can be played both aggressively and defensively, possessing a variety of ways to close in on opponents. Her combo attacks, both ground and air, are potent and inflict solid damage, especially when chained into her Ice Storm Hyper Combo as well as possessing decent priority. Storm can easily keep opponents at bay with her Whirlwind and Typhoon attacks and her ability to fly helps to keep her out of harm's way.
 
A lack of any major weaknesses makes Storm a top 2 character in every tier list, with most choosing her as the definitive best character in MvC 2, due to her ability to excel at everything from solo play to team support.

'''Storm''' is a jack of all trades, master of all.
{{ProConTable
|pros=
* '''Strong mobility:''' 8-way Air Dash, Float, Lightning Attack, Fly mode, wavedash. Storm has a wealth of options for movement that allow her to control space and stay unpredictable.
* '''Meter build:''' Flying off the screen and using her air options allows fairly safe space to whiff moves for meter. Storm can build a full bar of meter off of one super jump when combined with float and lightning attacks.
* '''Air dominance:''' Storm wins most air-to-air interactions thanks to big, fast hitboxes and mobility.
* '''DHC Potential:''' Hail Storm is the safest super in the game to DHC into, while also doing decent chip on block. Lightning storm DHCs into almost anything, allowing for devastatingly high damage combos.
* '''Strong Offense and Defense:''' Combining her strong mobility, buttons, and DHCs gives both high potential for Offense and Runaway at Storm's convenience.
* '''Good Assists:''' All of Storm's assists are useful. Projectile goes full-screen move and never loses projectile clashes. Expansion is strong for lockdown and combos. Variety can make zoning traps.
* '''Winning matchups:''' Effective against many top-tier shells like Strider/Doom, and one of the few characters capable of shutting down Cable. That's how good her tools are
|cons=
* '''Low health:''' Storm takes slightly more damage than normal.

=== Assist Moves ===
 
{{MvC2CharacterAssists
|{{hk}}Typhoon ||Lightning Storm|{{hk}}Typhoon | Storm appears behind and throws out a horizontal typhoon that hits multiple times, ignoring other projectiles. Strong tool for controlling the ground to apply pressure or allow a mixup. This is a good default assist to use because it is very straightforward and flexible.
| Lightning attack || Lightning Storm| Lightning attack | Storm does a single, horizontal Lightning attack and then does a long pose where she finishes. If she hits with this, the opponent will be launched in the air, but will be able to block on the way down.<br>Storm is very exposed after the attack, so it is safest to apply this strings or combos.
| {{lk}}Vertical typhoon || Hail Storm | {{lk}}Vertical typhoon | Storm summons a vertical typhoon. This is a very slow assist but it applies a very heavy amount of blockstun, making it a strong trap setup.<br>Doing a THC starting with Storm will have the startup of Hail Storm.

Story

Storm, born Ororo Munroe, is a character from the X-Men series by Marvel. She is a mutant born with the ability to control and manipulate the weather at her will. Growing up as an orphaned thief on the streets of Cairo, Egypt, she would use her newfound abilities to aid local farmers as a teenager during droughts by summoning rain and eventually help protect the world from various threats alongside the X-Men.

Gameplay

Storm is quite possibly the most versatile of all the Marvel characters in the game. She can be played both aggressively and defensively, possessing a variety of ways to close in on opponents. Her combo attacks, both ground and air, are potent and inflict solid damage, especially when chained into her Ice Storm Hyper Combo as well as possessing decent priority. Storm can easily keep opponents at bay with her Whirlwind and Typhoon attacks and her ability to fly helps to keep her out of harm's way.

A lack of any major weaknesses makes Storm a top 2 character in every tier list, with most choosing her as the definitive best character in MvC 2, due to her ability to excel at everything from solo play to team support.

Gameplay

Storm is a jack of all trades, master of all.

Strengths Weaknesses
  • Strong mobility: 8-way Air Dash, Float, Lightning Attack, Fly mode, wavedash. Storm has a wealth of options for movement that allow her to control space and stay unpredictable.
  • Meter build: Flying off the screen and using her air options allows fairly safe space to whiff moves for meter. Storm can build a full bar of meter off of one super jump when combined with float and lightning attacks.
  • Air dominance: Storm wins most air-to-air interactions thanks to big, fast hitboxes and mobility.
  • DHC Potential: Hail Storm is the safest super in the game to DHC into, while also doing decent chip on block. Lightning storm DHCs into almost anything, allowing for devastatingly high damage combos.
  • Strong Offense and Defense: Combining her strong mobility, buttons, and DHCs gives both high potential for Offense and Runaway at Storm's convenience.
  • Good Assists: All of Storm's assists are useful. Projectile goes full-screen move and never loses projectile clashes. Expansion is strong for lockdown and combos. Variety can make zoning traps.
  • Winning matchups: Effective against many top-tier shells like Strider/Doom, and one of the few characters capable of shutting down Cable. That's how good her tools are
  • Low health: Storm takes slightly more damage than normal.

Special Property Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Guard Adv. Pushblock
Launcher Special, Super, SJ - - -

One of Storm’s launchers, it’s a lightning uppercut.
no real added range on this attack because she throws her fist upwards, but could make a decent anti air if you need one and don’t have time to call for an assist.

13 9 4 24 L
Special Property Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Guard Adv. Pushblock
Otg, Launcher Special, Super, SJ - - -

Another one of Storm’s launchers, it’s just like her standing roundhouse but crouching, and she doesn’t kick as high, nor is the tornado nearly as large as it was before. it's wider but will knock either Storm or her opponent back just a little making it a bit harder to jump after them and combo.

- 12 5 32 H
Special Property Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Guard Adv. Pushblock

Think of it as Magneto’s Fierce punch, but this one is lightning attached.
This is probably Storm's best air attack.

- 6 12 8 H
Special Property Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Guard Adv. Pushblock
None Chain, Special, Super - - -

- 12 6 18 H
Special Property Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Guard Adv. Pushblock
Flying Screen Special, Super - - -

Storm does a little back flip in air and leaves a trail of wind as her feet
a nice air-to-air attack if they’re above or in front of you.
the kick is a gust that becomes about the size of Sentinal.
it does good damage and has great range

Special Moves

Typhoon

Special Property Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Guard Adv. Pushblock
Airok.png Chain, Special, SJ, Super - - -

Storm summons a typhoon, which is her main projectile. Can do up to 4 hits .
Will bypass and ignore other projectiles
This is one of the best projectiles in the game since it can’t be canceled, not even by a hyper combo.
it’s slow to come out and recover, but it’s wide so it can be a little hard to jump over if it isn’t timed right
basically Storm will throw her hands towards the ground and shout "Typhoon!" and then send a get the screen to herself onent, this can be used to stop dash ins, hyper combos, projectiles, and getting through Doom’s rockets and canceling Spiral’s swords in the sword dance trap.


Vertical Typhoon
Hcb.png + K.png

MVC2 Storm 41236k proj.png
Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard

Special Property Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Guard Adv. Pushblock
Airok.png Chain, Special, SJ, Super - - -

She sends out the tornado shaped wind out from under the opponent all the way up the screen in a vertical motion, doing up to 6 hits.
This move is a great move to use against those pesky Cable players.
useless on the most part unless done in runaway or countering runaway, those are the only time this move is done since it's quite slow, easy to see coming and can actually be walked away from.


Lightning sphere

Special Property Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Guard Adv. Pushblock
Airok.png Chain, Special, SJ, Super - - -

Can only be preformed in air. She sends out an electricly charged sphere across the screen.
Lp.png version goes diagonally down while Hp.png version flies horizontaly across the screen.
They both do the same amount of damage so it just depends on which direction you want it to go.


Lightning Attack
Hp.png+Lk.png
MVC2 Storm LA.png
Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard
- - - - HL
Special Property Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Guard Adv. Pushblock
Airok.png Chain, Special, SJ, Super - - -

Storm launches at her opponent with a hand full of lightning, very similar to Wolverine's Drill Claw.
This can be done in any direction and also performed in the air. From the ground she cannot angle it downwards though.
This plays a big part in both combos and running away.
This attack can be done three times in a row, but must be pressed again before it stops completely, the third time you do this the move will no longer be hyper-cancelable so make sure to cancel it on thefirst, or second one.


Fly mode

enters Fly mode
Storm’s flight isn't as useful as the others
She flies pretty quick, but to start it she has to hop into the air and spin around once slowly before she actually begins to fly

Super Moves

Great super.
does nice chip damage, can be comboed into fairly easily, can be DHC’ed perfectly
Storm will Spin around quickly and yell “Lightning Storm!” and lightning bolts will fill the entire screen.

Hail storm
Qcb.png + Lp.pngHp.png
MVC2 Storm hail.png
Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard
- - - - HL
Special Property Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Guard Adv. Pushblock
- Chain, Special, SJ, Super - - -

Iconic MvC super
Storm will take her sweet time raising from the ground and to the edge of the screen behind her, then summons raining pieces of ice on her opponent, this super is almost inescapable unless you are directly under Storm since that’s the only place the hail doesn’t hit
this move has literally 0 recovery so it is the safest Hyper combo to DHC to in the entire game.
Widely used since even on block it deals absurd chip damage

Notes
Alpha.pngHk.pngTyphoon
Lightning Storm
Hk.pngTyphoon
Storm appears behind and throws out a horizontal typhoon that hits multiple times, ignoring other projectiles. Strong tool for controlling the ground to apply pressure or allow a mixup. This is a good default assist to use because it is very straightforward and flexible.
Beta.png Lightning attack
Lightning Storm
Lightning attack
Storm does a single, horizontal Lightning attack and then does a long pose where she finishes. If she hits with this, the opponent will be launched in the air, but will be able to block on the way down.
Storm is very exposed after the attack, so it is safest to apply this strings or combos.
Gamma.png Lk.pngVertical typhoon
Hail Storm
Lk.pngVertical typhoon
Storm summons a vertical typhoon. This is a very slow assist but it applies a very heavy amount of blockstun, making it a strong trap setup.
Doing a THC starting with Storm will have the startup of Hail Storm.
