Yeah Crazy Dance is stylish and has the whole set up mechanic but an alternative is nice. I still can’t seem to get the damn timing down to get the tag switch with Crazy Dance right. I know it’s like inputting Crazy Dance and then immediately hit tag but I can’t get it 100% of the time, and I HATE dropping combos. So this seems MUCH more up my alley and it’s something new. More damage is always nice too
Its just a plink or piano roll. Im doing it on pad even, just practice.
I was messing with it. Honestly the resets im doing could probably just be done by a grab. I thought the storm would be good with dante dorm for devil trigger and his tracking ball. But you can only have one ball out at a time so not thinking its great. Plus if you loop the mind gem reset they dizzy out the 2nd time. Just exploring.
For those that don’t want to be scum that use c.lk xx stinger overhead:
c.lk xx bold cancel xx airdash xx forward air lp is a fantastic replacement, it has a chance of crossing up depending on spacing, plus you aren’t a piece of glitch-abusing trash!!
Bold cancel doesn’t look like it’s been explored much.
Its not scummy and easy to block. Dantes only chains to mid or high after c.lk so just change to blocking back from back + down. You prob thought vergil rapid slash was scummy because you couldnt change to forward while in a block string.
Sound idea with the bold air dash oh cross up though. It is better than the stinger since it WILL be blocked by non scrubs.
I don’t like using the glitches that I believe should be removed from the game. It’s obviously an unintended error and should be fixed in future balance patches. I haven’t fought any Dantes that tried it on me yet so I wouldn’t know how it feels on the receiving end.
As a Vergil player I felt dirty with a lot of things other than just rapid slash lol but in general I just don’t like using glitches that I feel were unintended mistakes even if they are used in competitive (dhc glitch and infinites in mvc3). I guess that makes me a scrub since I’m mentally restricting myself from strong tools. I’m really not looking forward to the hitstun reset glitch picking up speed and I hope they can patch it before it becomes widespread.
I was going to ask how you felt on the dhc and infinites in mvc3 lol. I mean its your experience that you want it to be but if youre competing and its available to everyone then you should absolutely take advantage of it, ya know? Again, it all comes down to what level of play and what type of experience you want to have. Just no bitching about others using it but i feel ya.
Not really. This game seems to pretty much be input and go. No pausing for air dash combos like in 3. Try doing your combo one move at a time then adding the next one until each step is in your muscle memory. So usually with a dj combo i wont even go for the next button, ill just end on the dj to make sure its coming out. The repetition will get you faster and more consistent. Eventually i input too fast cause my hands just go, lol. Just keep practicing!
Oh WOW. Hell yeah that’s much better! The BnB section can be updated and optimized a bit tho. There’s a handful of BnB’s that are easy to pull off that do 6.2k+. Nothing us Dante’s do should be under 6k that’s for sure
I’m going back to maining Dante now since Dante/Morrigan looks really good for the meta and Dante looks too good in general.
Interesting thing I noticed just messing with him is that his drive (stinger cancel LK) throws out 2 drives if he does it close to the opponent. Not sure why that is, but it seems good for lockdown.
when that happens to me is mostly because of not enough height when hitting the opponent, i just wait a tiny bit more and hit the jhP-dash-jhP-jump-jHp like 85% of the time
