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

[Ithra]

Dante has a move called Bold Move ( :s:+:atk: ) which cancels any standing normal attack into a jump. A Bold Cancel is just doing Bold Move to cancel the attack. In MvC3, you can cancel the pre-jump frames into any ground special or hyper. This is important to Dante because his :f:+:h: is his longest normal but it can’t be canceled into anything. However, by inputting Bold Move as Stinger ( :f:+:h: ) hits, you can cancel into a special or hyper and continue the combo.

For example: His bnb starter is usually

j:h: land :h::f:+:h: :s:+:atk: :dp:+:m:

If you want to get used to playing Dante, I highly suggest practicing Bold Cancels because they’re essential. However you can find less dmging options such as replacing :f:+:h: with :d:+:h:

okay cool thanks for the info i forgot about bold move.
yeah I’ll definitely try to learn to do that but before i get into more complex combos i wanna just have some very basic bnb while i first get used to how to use his moves in a match and whatnot.
but i’m pretty sure i’m sticking with him

my new Iron Fist/Frank West/Dante team looks like its got lots of potential and great synergy

[Haunted_Stomach]

So i’ve seen Richard Nguyen after a wall bounce stinger and teleporting doing j.s xx killer bee in order to continue the combo into the corner. Is it just tricky timing or whats the deal with it? I’ve tried canceling when the j.s hits but not a thing. Wish i could refind a video of him doing it to see for myself.

So can anyone hit me up with the dante bnb’s no assists, then I’ll incorporate some strange and hawkeye into there.

So can anyone hit me up with the dante bnb’s no assists, then I’ll incorporate some strange and hawkeye into there.

My basic starters are:

j:h:/j:m: land :h: Stinger BC Volcano into either

1. j:h: Air Play j:h: land :s: :h: :s:
2. j:m::h: Killer Bee :s: :h: :s:

From there it’s just Hammer into basic OTG series (Cold Shower, Stinger, Volcano xx Beehive, etc)

The 1st does less starter dmg but saves your ground bounce. The second does the opposite

[ThreeSided]

So, is there a rhyme or reason behind whether j.QCF.H causes a ground bounce or just flings my opponent forward? Anything I can do to guarantee the ground bounce, or at least determine whether it’s going to come out or not as I’m doing it?

[Momochuu]

If they’re behind you getting hit by Skydance = Hard Knockdown
If you’re really far below them = Hard Knockdown

Everything else is the normal skydance pretty much. They need to be fairly level with you if you want the normal one.

Wait, the non-ground bounce causes a hard knockdown? I could have sworn it was a soft… I guess I just need to wait for them to hit the ground then, huh?

Im having alot of trouble linking dantes moves in some of his more advanced combos. Any advice? I seem to be missing something…

It would help if you could give us specifics. What links are you talking about?

[Kaiten92]

No I think what Momo was saying is that both of those would result in the ground bounce which ends in hard knockdown.

It’s all timing and space dependent. You basically have to take a combo and figure out how to make the last hit whiff.

After a hard knockdown in the corner:

1. Two shots of Cold Shower xx Stinger BC Sky Dance causes all hits to connect meaning that the ground bounce gets reset and they go into the spinning animation.
2. Four shots of Cold Shower xx Stinger BC Sky Dance causes the opponent to be hit by the back of Sky Dance meaning it will cause the really long forced ground bounce. Dante also ends up in the corner.

Im still working on this but it seems if you let the opponent actually lay on the ground before doing the 1st one, Sky Dance’s last hit will whiff and Dante wont cross up. And by lay on the ground I mean waiting that small second for the opponent to fall after the little fake ground bounce that every hard knockdown causes…hard to explain

[media=youtube]91RcUODN95w[/media]

after Hammer, Doom goes into a ground bounce that doesnt actually ground bounce him (I just call it a fake ground bounce) and you can wait for him to fall back onto the floor and combo him before he rolls out

what combos?

[haydenplz]

Up or down TAC into DT Dante in the corner

, :h:,Thunderbolt, , double jump, , :h:,Thunderbolt, , triple jump, , :h:, flight mode, :l:, , :h:, Thunderbolt, Thunderbolt, Thunderbolt, Vortex, :s:

Adds abooouuuuut 100K at the end of a combo I believe (is that good for a TAC combo? I have no idea), and no meter of course :sad:. I came up with a few variations as well, but I could do this one most consistently. A problem with this combo is it takes up most of your DT time, and if it runs out in the middle then lol. Also, I rarely find myself with a Devil Triggered Dante waiting on the sidelines. Although,

If you have another character with an install super, you can do a Dante combo, blablabla, move that causes a ground bounce, cancel into DT, buff DHC into your other character, relaunch, TAC. But I don’t think it’s really worth the cost of 2 meters, plus not being able to build any. Purely for styling on somebody, I suppose.
Probably a better way would be combocombocombo, Sky Dance knockdown, cancel into DT, tag in another character with an OTG, launch, TAC. I tried messing around with a Stinger wallbounce into DT, tag in, but couldn’t get it to work. Maybe I’ll try again later

I think this is pretty good. I’ll try it out this week and see if I can come up with anything else as well. Thanks Chirp.

First whenever i use otg volcano they seem to roll out am i just hitting it to slow? Another is the the devil must die after beehive i always seem to go right through them.

A ground roll or popping out in the air? Maybe you should just give the combo you’re trying to do

Just tried this because I recall the seeing the same thing ( Dante Stinger>BC Teleport into the corner, j.S xx Killer bee and DHC into Vergil ), the timing doesn’t seem any different than canceling S into Hammer, and I mean it shouldn’t be any different. Maybe it comes naturally since I do j.S xx Round trip with vergil all the time but I haven’t seen too many issues with this.

[Karsticles]

What is Dante’s best, assist-less, 1-meter combo he can do starting from a TKed Vortex? Assume you have all 600 frames of Devil Trigger to work with.

I dunno, i can defiantly do j. into hammer and the timings just strange to me. Like i can cancel before it hits or if it whiffs but as soon as it touches them after a wall bounce nada. no execution errors just timings fucked to me

[TenguEgg]

You never canceled a blocked j.S into hammer? Its literally the same timing, just 1 less button press

[Rykendawg]

What is the best combo with rapid slash assist?

[IntotheKate]

Hi all. I’ve been working on a more solid, meter building Dante combo and I was curious if this is alright for a bnb.

Starter, Stinger[BC] :dp:+:m:, j.:h: Airplay j.:h:, s.:s: :h::h: xx Prop Shredder, TK’d Acid Rain j.:s:, :df:+:h::h::h: xx Stinger Level2 [BC] Sky Dance, land :dp:+:m: xx :dp:+:m:(Beehive) , :a1: Stinger[BC] Revolver, Sky Dance, land :dp:+:m: xx :dp:+:m: (Beehive), Stinger[BC] Jetsream xx Fireworks xx Million Dollars.

It builds 1.95 Meter and does around 750k.

I’d really like to extend that to 2 Meter because I could DHC Sentinel, then Doom if necessaary for 1.1m+.

I’m using Drones and Hidden Missles, just for the record.

I’ve been trying to add a second acid rain or get the :dp:+:m: xx :dp:+:m: (Beehive), :a2: Stinger[BC] Jetstream xx Fireworks (Missles Hit) Sky Dance, but they both seem to drop and I think it may be beacuse of HSD, I’m probably wrong though.

Any help would be awesome though, or if this is good i’d love a short confirmation. Thanks!

Edit: Whoops had the wrong opener. Fixed now.
