It's showtime! Come on! Dante Combo Thread -Will be updated to UMvC3 standards soon.-

I’ve noticed you can also sometimes hit Beehive too late which makes the last hit miss

how much damage are you guys getting with 2 assists? my corner B&B with Bolts of Balthakk and Hidden Missiles does around 800k or close to it, if I’m not mistaken.

j.H, st.M, st.H ~ Stinger bc Volcano, j.H xx Airplay, j.H, S ~ Charge Shots ~ Prop Shredder, Acid Rain, Hammer, Cold Shower ~ Stinger bc Hammer, call Strange, Volcano (first Bolt hits), j.S, Volcano ~ Beehive, Stinger (call Doom) bc Jet Stream ~ Fireworks (Missiles hit), Skydance, Beehive, Stinger bc Jet Stream ~ Fireworks xx Million Dollars.

the Sky Dance after Missiles hit is kind of inconsistent and tough to link. sometimes you’ll get the really long hard knockdown and you can go for Acid Rain, Volcano, j.S, but sometimes the last hit will connect and you can link Beehive. you pretty much only have several frames to confirm that shit so I’m still working on it lol.

Nothing overly stylish, but the amount of damage for the lack of effort is retarded.

Also, sorry for the shaky cam and quality. I was using my girlfriend’s webcam which was clipped to my shirt. Didn’t make for the best video, but you get the point.

Can you give a notation please?

J.:qcf::l::l:(Hammer), :dp::m: (Volcano)xx J.:s:, :qcf::m::m:(Million Carats)xx:qcb::atk:+:atk: (Devil Trigger), J.:s:, Vergil Rapid Slash Assist, J.:s:, :dp::m:(Volcano)xx :m: (Beehive, :dp::m:(Volcano)xx:m:(Beehive)xx:qcf::atk+:atk:(Million Dollars) XFC :dp::atk+:atk: (Devil Must Die)

I say don’t X-factor, and just get the full mash super it does about 882k.

I still didn’t get it :stuck_out_tongue: you BC there? (doing it instead of cold shower xx Stinger Bold move hammer volcano w/e)

I’m assuming y’all are talking about the Grapple reset in which case, what you do is cold shower, into stinger then bold cancel stinger into Grapple.

Instead of bold cancel into teleport hammer(midscreen) or jump hammer (corner)?

Yessir.

how do you continue a combo after a level 3?

input a dash with buttons a couple of seconds after dante puts the sword back on before the animation ends, then mash cold shower after that.
If done correctly, you wont even see the dash, and it will look as if Dante was there all along.

And they call Strider a ninja

So its been 4 months and a half or so, can we get the combos updated please? Most of us know the essentials but not having the 1st post updated for UMvC3 and with new advanced tech/strats is why we keep getting people asking about stuff we’ve known for awhile (How to Bold Cancel teleport, Prop into Air Trick, etc). I think it’d be great if in big bold letters we put that “learning how to bold cancel is essential to mastering Dante.” I have some non-BC combos if you guys want a section for it though

But it’s better to post the combos in some order, and not just any combo someone post. I mean learning Dante was hell, just because there was not a “Start here” section for his basic BC combo. Myself, i decided eventually to learn Dacidbro combos since it looked like good balance between difficulty and damage output. I think this forum can do better job to provide a proper starting point for Dante’s players.

This is something I’ve needed to do for ages, and will certainly start doing today. Every time I’ve said I was about to start I end up getting distracted so this is entirely my fault guys.

is there any reason people tend to do another Volcano ~ Beehive after the first instead of Stinger bc Jet Stream ~ Fireworks? I always thought the latter did more damage.

This has been debated for a long time but unless Jet Stream scales less Volcano xx Beehive does more dmg. There’s also people who say that Jet Stream xx Fireworks builds more meter but I dont think thats true either (the guide says it doesnt as well)

I can help if you want and I have the guide so I can give almost exact meter build.

Didnt mean to sound rude if I did, I just dislike hearing about a combo or something and hearing that it was posted in here because I know that means it’s probably lost.

As far as I know Volcano into Beehive does more.

EDIT: @Kaiten- Any help is greatly appreciated. I think the biggest thing will just be making sure that the combos put up are the most useful ones. Lately, all the combos that have been coming out aren’t solo combos which sucks in the sense that I’d prefer not to have combos that utilize certain assists.

I’d like a new thread as well. I was gonna ask if you guys wanted me to remake some of the threads but I’m glad that’s being handled now.

From what I’ve seen the Stinger > Jet Stream > Fireworks builds very slightly more meter. When I was working on getting 2 bars in a combo Stinger > Volcano ~ Beehive never got me that last bit of bar I needed, but Stinger > Jet Stream > Fireworks did every time.

Now that I think about it, maybe its because you have to cancel right before the last hit of beehive unlike Jet Stream xx Fireworks.
