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

I know. I’ve had it happen to me millions of times and my strategy is to delay the second j.:h: until right before Dante reaches the ground. Hasn’t failed me yet.

I’m definitely jumping fwd. The moves upon landing just sometimes whiff, can’t explain it : /

He’s right. Seems to be helping. Only. Had a couple min to play with. It before I. Had to go, but. Attmpting to delay. The 2nd jH reduced the. Whiffing significantly, thanks! (Sorry, all. The periods and broken sentences. Is my phone)

Well, I recently told a dude at an Atlanta tournament about this. He found it useful, so maybe someone else will too. It’s a pretty easy X-Factor 1 combo that will do 1.17 Mil with only one super - a good way to kill someone at the start of the match Wolverine style, if someone’s point character irritates you (like, maybe, Wolverine).
:l:,:m:,:h:,:qcb::l: (Reverb Shock)xx:h: (Fireworks)xx:l::m::h::s: (X-Factor), (dash in), :l:,:m:,:h:,:s:, s.jump, :qcf::h: (Sky Dance), :s:, s.jump, :qcf::h: (Sky Dance), :qcb::l: (Reverb Shock)xx:h: (Fireworks)xx :qcf: :atk:+:atk: (MIllion Dollars).

Basic as hell, but it works.

That’s not really Wolverine style because it doesn’t kill them as fast as possible to leave enough XF time for the next character. To be efficient about things just do whatever combo you want then XF and do the beehive ender.

What was that dhc glitch setup nini used? i think it was grapple x million dollars dhc after the 1st hit

I’m pretty sure thats one of Dante’s DHC glitches.

In the corner, Dante can combo into The Hammer from j. H
So he can go L M H S sjc j. H x hammer or
L M H S sjc. j. H x airplay x j.H hammer.
Tight timing though.

I cant seem to get it.

But on a side note I managed to get my J.S/Hammer BNB to 880k with 1 bar…I really wanna crack 900k though any tips?

It’s pretty hard if you dont know the timing but I dont see why you (not directing this at you, just in general) wouldn’t just use Devil Trigger for the glitch.

Thats actually more than my bnb that I posted but what combo do you use and what assists?

My jump S combo using Thor’s mighty smash and drones assist. Corner version

J.S volcano J.S (very tight link) call thor volcano J.S volcano x beehive 3hhh call drones stinger bc sky dance J.S volcano x beehive stinger volcano x beehive x million dollars.

Sorry about my sucky notation :lol:

Nice. But shouldnt that build about two bars? If so wouldnt the dhc kill most characters? U seem to know ur stuff especially since u even used drones to help get that extra ground bounce. Nini might be able to help but I cant think of way to extend that (without DT).

That’s a pretty sick combo. I was messing wiith the sentinel groundbounce reset assist, and it gave me the idea to go into the DHC glitch from that. Instead of doing J.S after sky dance, simply revolver>grapple>dhc glitch if they have too much HP to be killed by million dollars + DHC. Might be corner only though.

Oh Nini, why u so GDLK?

Hey for people who can’t perform double dragonpunch motions, here’s a simple bnb that I use (sorry if a similar combo was posted before):

s.L, s.M, s.H, f+H(stinger) xx bold cancel xx volcano, j.M, j.H, killer bee, s.H, s.S, j.M, j.M, j.H, sky dance, reverb shock, fireworks, million dollars
does around 650k

(ground chain or j.S or Hammer) volcano, j.H xx airplay, j.H, s.HS, sj.H xx killer bee, (backdash), s.SHHHHH, reverb shock xx fireworks xx million dollars
Will do more damage and meter, and doesnt require bee hive. About 720k off of a Hammer starter IIRC, and certainly a little more after a good long ground chain. It’s my ‘absolutely will not fuck it up’ combo, and once you get it down, you never drop it.
But, yours should definitely be used if you catch an assist as well, otherwise the combo will fubar at the airplay.

As well, practice helps. Not trying to sound superior or be a dick but it really does. Also, you dont have to do the exact motions. I kinda mash it out and the inputs show that I pressed :m: 3-4 times as well as pressing approx. 10 directions (crazy I know Joker voice) but I can get a Volcano xx Beehive 99% of the time. I’ve also gotten better at double reverse fireball motions (which is weird since I was good at them in SF4 but I have problems doing Hammer on P2’s side).

thanks i will use this combo from now on :smiley:

yeah i agree but its really hard for me to do the double srk motion on a pad (get it like 50% of the time) and my joystick will be coming this week so i’ll prolly just practice the motion on that

I play pad and here’s how I do double DP. First, I realize that when I block, then try to qcb, I get rdp a lot. Drives me insane (like if I’m akuma trying to tatsu after a block). But I use this to my advantage as Dante. I do one dp but keep pressing fwd, then soon as the Volcano pounds, I do a qcf and get Beehive. That should piss me off, but since I want Beehive, I just shrug it off and it works lol

lol thats what I mean. Just learn what works for you (even if they are removing them in Ultimate). Just did a Volcano xx Beehive 3 times in training and here’s my inputs:
(I lol’d when I saw them) :f::df::d::d::df::m::f::df::d::m::df::f::m::df::d::df::uf:+:d:(lol wut?):f::m:
:f::d::df::f:+:m::df::d::d::df:+:m::f::d::db::m::df::m:
:f::df::d::d::df::f:+:m::df::d::m::df::f::d:+:m::db::d::df::m:

I haz execution?
