Introduction

Ororo Munroe is the daughter of a Kenyan tribal princess and of an American photojournalist who lived in Cairo, Egypt, where they were victims of a plane crash that destroyed her home. As an orphan, Ororo became a sneak-thief on the streets of Cairo under the tutelage of Ahmed El Gibár, who had provided her a home. As a teenager, she felt an urge to travel to the south, arriving to the Serengeti plains.

With her mutant powers of controlling the weather, Ororo was venerated by the locals as a goddess, as she used her abilities to ease the droughts in the region. She was eventually invited by Professor Xavier to join his X-Men, a mutant group aimed at implementing peace between humans and mutants. Ororo accepted with intentions of comprehending the origin and the potential of her mutant abilities, adopting the name Storm.

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 do everything from solo play to team support

Gameplay

Storm is a jack of all trades and master of all of them
there isn't an area where she is greatly lacking and she can fit into nearly any team

Strengths

Weaknesses

Storm is FAST: not as fast as Magneto, but she’s probably second fastest in the game. Insane rushdown: fast, deals great damage and can keep things unpredictable. Long hitboxes: the lightning on her hands extends her reach a lot even on fast normals. Insane meter build : one of the best characters to build meter with, 2 chances to run away and stall is an entire meter bar for Storm 8-way air dash: allows you full control of the screen. Air dominance: a good storm will win most air-to-air in Float + Fly mode: She can float to the ground by holding up while in air. Fly mode is situational but benefitial Hail storm DHC : Her Hail Storm hyper combo is the safest super in the game to DHC into thanks to having 0 recovery. Lightning storm combos: can kill a character in two uses sometimes. very easy to setup. Horizontal typhoon: cannot be canceled after it’s sent out meaning it will get to the other side of the screen no matter what. Great against Strider/Doom teams : a single storm on your team can pose a great danger to these two characters Can shut down Cable : that's how good her tools are

She’s a little hard to learn.: key word being little Low health: She can’t take hits well. She can’t play actual keep away: she can only play runaway, whether this can be a pro or not is up to you Slow special moves: Her special moves are either slow to come out, slow to recover, or both. Bad raw supers : don't mind me just trying to fill this section up with anything

Special Moves

Damage

Special Properties (glossary)

Storm Fang

+

Storm performs an arching leap forward and bites, hitting multiple times.
This move has a quick start up time making it easy to combo with, plus the angle it travels at is handy for juggling.
travels further and hits more times which usually means it does more damage than the version.
it's a good anti-air attack, anti-dash-in attack, air combo finisher and is also good for aerial confrontations. Just make sure that you don't land behind the opponent.

Storm rush

+

The symbiote travels along the ground and when it reaches a certain point, it forms a bunch of fanged mouths that thrust upward and bite the opponent.
Because of the start up time, your Storm Rush doesn't have much use in combos, but it can be an unexpected surprise to throw out there when you're far away and your enemy is chucking beams at you, but don't throw this out at random. If it's blocked or it misses, you will get punished severely.
hits from fullscreen's distance, hits from about sweep range.

Web throw

+

Shoots a web at your opponent, and if it hits Storm will slam them into the ground multiple times.
Storm won't follow up after the web connects if you're too far away though.
travels straight across the screen. travels diagonally up-forward, which is angled to hit jumping characters.
Slow startup, but great damage if it connects. You can rotate the pad/stick and press buttons for more damage.
mostly used for an unexpected counter.

Special Properties (glossary)

Storm web

+

makes Storm jump into the air and shoot out a web, if your opponent isn't blocking when they're in the web, you'll do a series of attacks dealing decent damage.
The big drawback with this super is the start up time means you won't be able to use it in many combos, but that's not too big of a problem since :

• this is a great super to DHC into or out of.

• your other super move is much faster.

Death bite

+

An upgraded version of our Storm Rush that goes fullscreen and traps any opponent inside it.
This is very easy to use in combos because of its fast start up time, and it does a ton of damage.
Also, since Storm's Hard Punch throw wraps his opponent up into a web letting him combo afterwards, it's a piece of cake to set up your Death Bite safely and consistently in a match.
the biggest drawback here is that when you use this with your opponent in the corner, sometimes the majority of the hits will miss, so you'll want to stick to other moves and your corner bnbs when your enemy is cornered.

Notes

Storm Fang

Death Bite

Storm Fang

Very quick, and hits multiple times.
One of the best assists in the game.
Has a quick recovery, and fits in almost everywhere.

Storm Rush

Death Bite

Storm Rush

Not as quick as Fang, plus leaves Storm open a lot more. Not really recommended.
it's more of a surprise attack and good for confusing your opponent.
While they're blocking it, dash up to your opponent and start mixing up your attacks or throw them.
It's also good for setting your primary character up for attacking.

Death Bite

standard . generally terrible.
mostly for offensive pressure, anti-air and for helping your partner out of corner pressure. If it connects, your primary character can either do a super or super jump afterwards, then do an air combo.

His assists are generally terrible. Storm Fang is decent, and Storm Rush can be semi-disruptive.

Strategies

Storm is a defensive/counter-attacker character. she plays best near his opponent. Getting to your opponent is very easy for Storm. Simply use his dash, air dash or Storm Fang. When playing close, mix up your jump-in attacks, high and low attacks, launcher attack, Storm Fangs and ocassionally throw out a Web Throw to surprise your opponent. If a launcher attack or heavy attack gets blocked, cancel into a Storm Fang to be safe.

At a distance, use Web Throw to surprise your opponent. Make sure you use the right one. If they throw out a projectile, punish with Storm Fang or Storm Web.

Storm's about power and high health, so don't worry about eating a super, because you can probably stage a come back. Some assists are harder to combo into, but others are easier. Tron's throw is a great setup. Ruby Heart's Sublimation, is also great, but wait until the last hit to connect before activation. Assists like Ruby Heart's are difficult to judge for a Storm Web, because if you screw up the timing, Storm won't complete the entire super. You should always keep them guessing with his moves, combos, and supers. Storm is great against almost every character in this game, so don't be afraid to use him against any character.

For some reason I can't imagine, Capcom has made it a little more difficult to air combo with Storm. You can no longer pull off 12-hit, high-damaging air combo anymore. You'll be lucky enough to pull of a then do a forward kick. But I guess his improved ability to do ground combos sort of makes up for it. The best way to get all the hits in is to dial through the buttons at a slow pace--if you dial too fast, the probably won't hit. Against small characters, you should skip the after the , and just do a forward kick, followed by an air combo finisher.

Use 5 or Storm Fang to counter jump-ins. If an opponent jumps in and Storm connects a 5, cancel into a Storm Fang or a Storm Rush. You can also use a Web Throw to tag a jumping opponent, but you must be able to anticipate the jump and you also must throw it out at the right time. Make sure you don't throw out a Web Throw too early--your opponent could anticipate it and punish you severely.

Use 5, 5 or Storm Fang to counter dash-ins. Also use 5 to punish opponents from mid-range. If you throw out a 5 and it gets jumped over, cancel into a Storm Fang to avoid punishment. Use J/SJ. or air Storm Fang for aerial confrontations.

Storm's dash is very effective. she travels quickly along the ground on all fours. she can go under most projectiles and it's good for getting close to your opponent and starting combos.

Both of Storm's supers are very effective. Neither one of them are meant to be thrown out at random. Storm Web is used strictly for punishing mistakes and to counter projectiles—It does most damage of both of his supers. If you detect a projectile about to thrown out or your opponent just screwed up, do a Storm Web immediately. If it connects in the corner, you can OTG afterwards. It will cancel off of a Storm Rush, but you must be very quick about it. As soon as you se the first hit from the Storm Rush connect, cancel immediately into a Storm Web.

Death Bite is used only in combos or for an opponent that is nearly dead. It combos nicely off of any medium attack or a 5. It can also be cancelled into off of a short Storm Rush. Always make sure that it connects--you'll be left open if it's blocked or super jumped over.

Advanced Strategy

Although many beginners like to use him, she is anything but a beginner's character. It is going to take a while to learn how to use him. You won't win with Storm by simply mashing buttons. It takes skill, patience and planning to win with him.

• Storm is a large target, so be careful of dialers. Don't use the Storm Fang or Storm Rush recklessly, or you will be punished.

Storm's best assets are his power, his stamina, and his insane priority. Storm has uses ranging from keep-away, anti-air, and countering. His best move also doubles as the best assist in the game, the Storm Fang.

Storm Fang is great for ending combos, countering fireballers, and anti-air. Storm has great air priority, as well as great comboability in the air and on the ground. she's been sped up a bit since the first Marvel vs. Capcom, so his recovery is quicker than before.

Storm's dash allows him to travel under some projectiles and some attacks. Storm also has an air dash similar to Spider-man's. It's useful for getting out of a tough situation and to avoid beam supers. It can be cancelled by doing any attack.

crossing up the opponent won't invert the special move inputs but will invert their direction, so you can use air Storm fang to continue pressure even if your opponent crosses under you
