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

Nevermind, just do the Acid Rain loop. I didn’t know it was that easy.

cr.L, M, H, Stinger, BC, Volcano, j.H, Air Play, j.H, Land, M, H, Cold Shower, Prop Shredder, Acid Rain, Acid Rain, S, j.S, Land, Cold Shower, Stinger, BC, j.S (or Hammer), Land, Volcano, Beehive, Volcano, Beehive, Million Dollars.

If you want extra damage just do Million Carats, Devil Trigger, j.S, Land, Volcano, Beehive, Volcano, Beehive, Million Dollars after the last j.S.

After you air dash after the airplay, what button do you press to continue the combo? Is it airplay, adf jm, h, OTG shots, pop shredder?

I personally do j:h: airplay adf j:h:land:m::h: Cold Shower, Pop Shredder.

Any good resets for Dante besides Beehive, cr:l: and Beehive (after already using ground bounce) xx Devil Trigger? It helps when you got a combo but your assist attacked first which scales the dmg of your combo

Grapple is good for resets. They can’t roll out, so they basically have to block the mix up/unblockable unless they have a godlike A2 button.

I find this to be a waste. Not only are you neutering your meter gain, the extra damage you get could be attained or surpassed by simply DHCing into someone else.

…wow I’m stupid lol.

My only problem is that for the Beehive -> cr.L they are too low to the ground to do his air :h::h::h:

Definitely not. It’s always great to know how to get that extra dmg with just one person and the fact that it uses Dante’s Devil Trigger means you get a dmg boost (which will probably kill the opponent) and Dante starts regaining red life during the combo as well as while waiting for the next character to come out. Yes, usually it’s better to just DHC but there will always be times when that little bit of info can come in handy.

What?

For example, if you do a Beehive that causes ground bounce and then time a cr.L afterwards, it makes the opponent pop up in the air (reset). With the right timing, you can dash fwd, jump up and do an air grab. However, 3 out of 5 times, air :h::h::h: doesn’t come out or it actually misses the opponent.

If you’re too low for the air shots, you might be able to do air grab>land>twister. Depending on your assists, you might be able to follow up. If not you can always do twister>level 3>combo

is there REALLY any point to resets with Dante??? i dont see any unless your using Team Richard

To load up dormammu with 5 bars xfactor and drones :slight_smile:

If you catch somebody with an assist first it severely cuts down the damage of the combo. So if you reset, you still get the dmg/meter from the previous combo but you also reset the scaling so that it scales as if it was a normal combo. I usually just keep the combo going anyway but it’s good to know a few resets.

I only go for resets if I (for some reason, usually Devil Trigger) have no meter or X-Factor to kill with.

When i try to do this i cant get the M to connect, is there a special thing you have to do to make it work?

Is the M whiffing completely, or are they recovering before it hits? If the former, try to airdash after the airplay or as soon as you land, you shouldn’t need to go far. If they’re recovering, you need to lessen the time between the j.H and s.M, either by doing the first j.H xx airplay faster/closer to the ground, or by doing the second j.H later after the airplay/closer to the ground.

first off, make sure you know what the M slash is and what the H slash is. when i first tried doing it, i noticed i was pressing M before Dante fully recovered so instead the H came out which always misses (too much startup time i think).

after air play, make sure you adf asap as well hit H as soon as you can. I use pad so i usually just press R2 twice (L+M+H) but u have to do it with correct timing. too early and it will cancel into his air shots, too late an it wont hit or it’ll hit incorrectly. lastly make sure you hit M as soon as Dante recovers on the ground. i would try to practice the timing of everything i just mentioned since it all seems to be links instead of cancels

Yea the opponent techs (on the ground) before i can hit it. I think the problem is because im not exactly sure when to start trying to airdash after the airplay. Also when i do hit the M and H, i cant get the cold shower to connect because he techs (on ground and in the air).

You don’t have to airdash. Some people just do J.H>Airplay>J.H>Land>Dash 5M>5H>Cold Shower.

The cold shower is not connecting because you’re probably not delaying the M and H string enough. If they’re too high, the shots will miss.

Okay, I’m sick of dropping the Beehive input. Is there a shortcut people are using for this? I either input it too slow or too quickly and it’s totally fucking my game up. Stupidest input ever.
