Amazing stuff. You are a genius, you know.
I personally can't do this (Kank lacks a good cinematic, and salamander seems to be too slow) but I hope it helps someone out there ^_^''

[Suirad12]

Thanks Frost.
And btw if any PS3 players with a capture device wanna help me out, It would be great if i could get some videos of this combo working.

Hmmm I am going to try this out, Thanks for the tip!

Heh, I know this combo, but I feel that I should mention that if your opponent is skilled it will have very little place in actual battle and at worst should just not be attempted.

I learned how to do this after watching it done to me by my friend on accident. He was using Naruto and what happened is he fired off a support at me, and probably assuming that I would block or, more likely, attempt to dodge he started up an U2 hoping to catch me.

Well what happened is I didn't end up blocking or dodging, I was hit. Thus I was knocked back just after his U2 was activated. After his attack support performed a SB (as you put it) I was then fired back and directly into his U2. He sent me a message saying "did u see that?!". I did, and it was cool, and I've done it exactly twice myself.

The biggest issue with this "storm combo" is that it is very risky and practically requires a state of absolution concerning the opponent's vulnerability. For one, in order to do it just in time you must be CERTAIN that your opponent will be hit by your support's attack. From my experience there are rare occasions in which I can say for certain that my support will hit unless the opponent is somewhat of a newbie.

So if you fire off your U2 without the support attack being a sure hit, you have likely just opened yourself up to some serious punishment. For example, as an Ino player, she glides at the opponent while initiating her U2 - severely punishable should my support not connect.

That's why I personally have rarely used this combo, because while it is definitely the coolest thing you could possibly do due to its ability to flow smoothly from one attack to another guaranteeing massive damage upon proper exectution, it's unsafe except against newbs who are guaranteed to be hit. That's why most of us instead attempt to time it after the SB, because it's safe and if it misses cannot be punished due to the opponent's downed state.

So the SC gets a 10 in the "coolness" factor, but a 2 or 3 in the useability or practicality factor. At least that's what I think...

EDIT: I want to mention that I have never tried this after using the "dash-stun" trick which causes the opponent to be hit by support attacks even when blocking. But I don't think you could load up a U2 quickly enough afterward to initiate it before the SB anyhow after using this technique. At least not for the break-away, if you managed to actually stun then I know it's possible to use a U2 very quickly afterward... I'll have to try it.

I respect how much thought you've put into judging the usefulness of this combo, but i assure you that supports aren't the only way to do the SC.

The only other way i know of (and my personal favorite) to start the Storm Combo is actually with a fire tag. It causes SB to happen, and if you charge up your U2 before you throw the fire tag, you have enough time to see if it hits or not. If it hits you can activate your U2 and lad the SC, if not, you don't activate the U2 and you're safe from punishment.

Be that as it may, Using supports is still a somewhat reliable way to start the SC. No matter how far away you are from your opponent, SB will always knock them right in front of you. So if you use Kakuzu from far away and land a hit, there's enough time for you to activate your U2 before SB happens. If you don't land the hit, you should be alert and stop yourself from using U2 and being punished. You should play around with this combo a bit and see the timing for individual characters. You may be surprised at what you find.

[Edit] - The Bomb works just like the fire tag.

Yeah that's true, there is a short timeframe after the opponet is hit and before the SB animation appears in which you can load up. You'd have to be very aware, though, anticipating the strike.

I guess the best strategy would be to load up before the support reaches the opponent, and if you see that it hits, quickly press the attack. This will guarantee a SC. If I were to prepare my U2 each time I use a knockback support, there's a possibility that I could pull this off during every battle I play, because I always have at least one knockback support, I always have an attack support, and my knockback support usually hits at least once per battle.

But often my support is used as more of a distraction than anything. Sometimes to give me time to charge, or a moment to get away. I imagine that's my lacking ability, though. Maybe if I work to make the SC a regular part of my battles it will also improve other areas of my gameplay... *ponders*

Also, I so wish I had a fire tag. Unfortunately Ino has no such item. -_-

Lol, yeah. Unfortunately, Ino was not blessed with the sacred fire tag, but knowing about the FTSC (Fire Tag Storm Combo) is good when playing with characters who do have FT.

i have something to record the combo if u want just add me
My PSN is randomghost11

[Reyno]

So far Hinata and Neji as supports prove to work well for this combo.

If the opponent is struck by either of these supports they are likely to be knocked back (sub is possible but difficult), but the momentary stun before the knockback gives you ample time to react. So if they're hit, activate U2, and the combo performs itself.

Ok added and thanks. Anytime we're both online is a good time for me to do this.

there is also the hinata and pain combo if u get the opponent stuck in between the almighty push and protective plams it will take out a full health bar

Also, I have my own boards that im trying to get popular. I really want to organize all these post about combos and story mode stuff etc.
It would be awesome for any and everyone to join that. Using this place is still good for tourneys and debates and such.

[Suirad12]

Of course. Its free to everyone.

Check the edit.

Oh i found this out lol. I just fired off a support, and used Taka Sasuke's Chidori blade at the same time cuz it looked pretty epic with Sasuke and Naruto Charging up their jutsu side by side XD. So naruto went first, and knocked the opponent back, and right after it did the jutsu hit I was like "O_O. Cool." I can never do it purposely though. Whenever i try to , my timing is off. But i find myself accidentally doing all the time.

...wow im a LITTLE late posting this though.
