Ok, i went back to my comics and read up...
in Uncanny X-Men #45, Cyclops does indeed hit quicksilver, but only by rebounding his beams around and entire room... he was also lucky...
but...
In at least two panels Quicksilver remarks that if it was not for his speed Cyclops would hit him...
That again was in Uncanny #45, ages before he even fought Storm...
Another thing you failed to mention Stormfront, is that when Cyclops and Storm did fight, Cyclops had lost any desire to lead the X-Men, his heart just wasn't in it, he was only willing to stay out of some twisted loyalty to the professor (who was believed dead at the time), adding to the fact that his son had just been born and Madelyne was pressuring him to leave the mansion. Storm had no powers, and we all know Cyclops holds back as it is, she was able to beat him easily because he gave up once she removed his visor...
Not likely to happen this time...
Cyclops' Optic blast is faster than Storm's lightning... how? It takes less time for Cyclops to press the button implanted in his glove than it takes Storm to summon lightning...
Few more things:
Cyclops has trained his whole life strategising on how to beat beings with superior power, including the X-Men themselves... i doubt Storm has done the same... Cyclops has always been a better tactician than Storm, and also a better combat leader, he'd have at least five or six different strategies to take down Storm... he knows her powers better than she knows his...
Cyclops is a master at judging trajectory and angles... i've seen him shoot round corners to hit enemies... in an environment that is anything but featureless he has a pretty decent chance fo taking her down...

no idea... any chance of an issue number?
The comic was in book form and printed without color. They were in their oldschool costumes except for Colossus who was wearing commie overalls and fighting the X-men. All of this took place in one of Arcade's theme park dealies.
If I had to guess, it would be Classic X-Men #30-ish. I looked up Arcade appearances and googled pictures for that comic and found commie Colossus and a couple pages of Arcade doing Arcade things.
I just burned out my detective skills for like 2 weeks.

thank you both, i will research this further...
My opinion - it's a close and fairly even battle. But with both going all out and fighting to their potential (within character), I'd give the edge to Storm. She's a little too versatile. She need not even been actively engaged on the battlefield to fight Cyclops. She can lower the temperature on him, obscure his line of sight with high winds and fog, and she can do all of that while hiding from his sight. Meanwhile, while he's trying to fight through that mess, she just fries him.
Cyclops could take a few, if he jumps on her early and takes her out quick. But in a 10 fight series, I'd give 7 to Storm.
