That’s like saying “if you can catch a ball, you can catch a ball blindfolded. It’s the exact same movement and timing, except you’re blindfolded”. The L+S in between may be a sinlge button combination, but it massively adds to the complexity of it all.
Sorry if you didn’t find that helpful buddy. Bold cancelling took me a wee while to learn but now it is second nature due to practice. There are similarities between the combos I mentioned but if that is confusing to you then disregard what I said.
I can bold cancel perfectly fine. I just think that it’s not really great advice for the people who can’t (no offense).
none taken 
Best advice I can offer was I usually do :f:+:h:, :f:, :d:, :df:, :s:+:l:, immediately 
I’ve been doing this for a month now and it comes out nearly every time. Sometimes BC’s just never come out 
I wish I knew it was this easy when learning Vanilla, jesus, I’d be a lot better now.
I personally found plinking the inputs easier. I wanted to deal with the least amount of button presses.
:f::h: xx :dp: :s:~:m: It took me a long time to get right. If you having problems with either way, then I recommend, like most people, that you turn on your inputs and just slow down if you have to. Once your inputs are clean you can speed them up.
Go to my thread… It should answer a lot of questions you may have and more.
This, right here, is how to do the Stinger lvl 2 BC Teleport. otherwise, it will fail a good 40% of the time.
I need to learn to PLink better. It would greatly step up my Dante game.
Those inputs will give you the stinger into volcano. I started with that because if you can bold cancel into a DP motion, then you should be able to bold cancel into any input with little problem. Left facing DP motions used to give me a lot of problems.
I’m a new Dante player, but I was able to get the BC Teleport cancel down by using a mini-shortcut. Just do :f::h:, :d::h: :s:, :d::s:. In case anyone was having trouble with that; took me a few separate sessions to get it down.
But as far as volcano goes, nothing wrong with :f::h:, :s:, :dp: real fast. Playing this character requires some fast inputs so it won’t hurt to learn this one, haha.
In general though, I’d say Bold Canceling is easier than it looks. Same with Viper’s feints. NOT the same with Hyper Grav loops. Fuck those.
When you say that you don’t do any shortcuts, does that mean after the :f::h:, you reset the stick to neutral and then do :atk::s:, or are you still holding :f: for the Volcano?
I’ve been trying to Bold Cancel Stinger into Volcano for a total of roughly 30 hours now, spread over a month (and I can get it about once per hour), so I think I must be misunderstanding something if everyone else gets it in 10 minutes to an hour…
No Sir, I mean the plinking in general, it’s the only way to get the BC’d Teleport. I never get it when I need it D;
OK I wanna make sure I understand BCing. If I do lets say stinger. and when it connects I do dp + MS I will bold cancel to volcano?
Hold it. You don’t have to reset it to neutral.
I’ve been working on this/other things with Dante (how fucking frustrating) since I’d love to use him.
**For every person saying you have more time than it seems, thank you. **This is what’s helping me the most. I watched an informative tutorial video on how to BC and it stated that you should do every command as quickly as possible.
I still can’t consistently get it. I’ll be able to for a couple minutes, then I just completely fuck up to the point where I need to stop playing for a couple minutes. It’s been like this all day.
I can do Stinger > BC > Volcano 80% of the time out of the combo but during a combo, idk, I just get lost for some reason. My fingers are retarded.
Anyway, for anyone having trouble, listen to everyone saying you have more time than you think.
The best way, IMO, is to pace yourself. Set a rhythm for bold canceling. Like. Stinger (1-a) bold move (2) then volcano input (a-3). I don’t know if i made sense, lol, but that’s how I do it.
you can actually hit :atk::s: really early, before the stinger even hits. you have 2 frames to input the special move you’re going to link. mostly volcano>beehive.
so you’re gonna do F+:h: > :atk::s: (before stinger hits) > then input volcano during the stinger making contact. you’re probably going to be getting a lot of st. :h:, bold move, air play if you try it online.
yeah I got it down. I enter atk + S immediatley and quickly enter what I want to do. I usually stick to reverb -> fireworks
oh, i didn’t realize your comment was back in june >.< yeah, reverb shock seems even easier after a bold cancel.
Still practicing.
Bold cancel IMMEDIATELY after Stinger. It’s exactly like kara-throwing.
Right after you BC, do whatever move you want.
It’s really not as difficult as it seems. As everyone says, once you get used to the timing, you get the hang of it.
I can’t stress it enough, though. BC as SOON as you Stinger. If your move isn’t coming out, it’s probably because you’re not BCing immediately, at least that’s the case for me.
