Devil Trigger also helps with combo extentions and resetting ground bounces. TK Sky Dance xx Devil Trigger after Beehive is a good example of resetting your ground bounce. It’s not much, but if you know Million Dollars won’t kill, you could set them up for a mix up with Devil Triggers unique moves and double air dashes.
One OS I thought of to cover Dante’s start of the round point weakness because of his extremely slow normals, I’m not sure if this is new but ill share:
Reverb shock is Dante’s fastest and safest special at 8f startup with a whole lot of priority, and that will beat most stH’s at the start of the round(including the infamous Hulk but loses to Taskmaster or Magneto)
The OS is:
back + stH slight delay reverb shock
How it works is, if they are standing next to you- throw
If they tech you get reverb shock(8f)
If they jump or do something else at the start of the round you get reverb shock because stH is kara’d into reverb shock which still has a lot of priority and can anti air very well
Can someone record themselves dashing after Dante’s lv3 with the commands being shown on the screen, so I know the exact timing.
Yes, I’ve practiced. I can’t get it down indefinitely.
I get it so sporadically…
Can you give some example for that?
- How to end combo with DT instead of MD for magic pixel situation (lets say after the 2nd hammer in combo, still got the ground bounce)
- An actual incoming mixup
- Any stylish yet semi practical DT combo? (there might be more efficient ways to use the meter but it is flashy, and does not require MarlinPie skills to get it done). Especially when you want to style someone when you roll him up, and you got Dante in killing position with enough bar (you could kill with B&B but you want to style him)

funny coincidence, when I recorded that combo I decided to try that dash up OTG at like the last moment of the lvl3 cinematic. I’ve rarely used it, so I just guessed on the timing and got lucky lol. And I just happened to have input display on, which I almost never do.
Is there a trick to connecting beehive after sky dance? I can never seem to get it! 
- Make sure it’s the correct hit off of sky dance, the ‘fling them far away’ hit and not the ‘ground bounce so they drop right in front of you’ hit. You have to adjust the timing/position of when you do sky dance to get one or the other.
- Press the Medium attack as fast as you can, repeatedly. You want to cancel the volcano as fast as you can, without the volcano hitting. So, 623+MM, no delay.
I definitely favor Reverb Shock against character with limbs/moves which outprioritize Dante’s. There aren’t really that many of them in the game. But for Hulks, Wolverines, probably Vergils, and a few other characters, I will simply go right into Reverb Shock at the beginning of the match, as long as I’ve got space enough for it to come out. Players of those characters tend to be overly aggressive and will get caught by it right away, at which point I can at least Million Dollars (or Devil Trigger and go for a launch), and if they called an assist, X-Factor into a Happy Birthday knockout.
Another option I will go for is just s.L, which has the same startup time but requires fewer motions to get going. That’s more for Wolverine than somebody like Hulk with his armor, since it will only hit once, but it serves just fine to knock Wolvie out of his Berderper Slash.
You know how there’s these “zero” and “vergil” armies out there coming supposedly? Why isn’t there some sort of a Dante army? Why doesn’t Dante have one yet? Is he not good enough or something?
He is not dumb enough, hating to bump, but can someone replay to me?:d:
Because he needs to use his tools wisely in order to be completely effective. Unlike zero and vergil with their BS normals (that lead to combos) which newbies can spam all day.
I think his zoning is really good. He has so many tools to keep people out or to space a certain way, so I don’t see why you wouldn’t play him that way, especially with the right assists like Hidden Missiles or what have you. The thing for me is that I find it to be matchup based, so even though I want to play Dante as a zoner more, I try to adjust depending on the opponent. I played a Spencer last night that just kept wire grappling me out of Crystal and even Air Play half the time, which was really frustrating. Other zoning characters like Dormammu will give him a hard time in a ranged fight. But when Dante gets his projectile game going he can be very frustrating to fight, especially against characters with poor mobility options.
Not top tier or derp enough, doesn’t TOD without the correct team composition. He’s a great character, but Zero/Vergil are not only easier to pick up, they’re more explosive when they get on the screen.
So when somebody finds a selfsufficient devil trigger combo to million dollars and tod’s solo he’ll have more of a bandwagon? Thats fucked up >.<" lol
For number 2 Momo made a video where Dante had a Nasty double airdash that was all sorts of crazy.
You can always do some chip on incoming or frame trap with weasel shot -> stinger.
For incoming chip I like to charge a few lock on shots. If you use doom missiles you call doom fire lock ons as they block missiles you use rocket launcher missiles xx DT Teleport in. Even better after teleport you can be more annoying and do mash H shots, call your other assist and go into hammer. May not get an opening but that is chip and pressure. Eventually
Another thing you could do after the DT is run over and spam lasers.
What’s the Devil Trigger follow up to this people like to use? I’m sure he can crank out more damage using DT than just million dollars but I’ve hit a bit of a road block right now :s
How exactly do I extend dante’s combo with DT instead of million dollars? For example:
LMH f.H BC Volcano j.H airplay j.H S~H~S sj. hammer land volcano~beehive dash back S~H stinger BC hammer.
Usually I’d end it with volcano~beehive Million dollars. But I tried doing Million carats xx DT TK Skydance beehive for ground bounce reset. Then I just go blank. What else can I do?
I was thinking the same thing but i never see anybody do anything so im like wahh? You play zero! Add a bunch of lightning lol
Can any one endow the knowledge of cold shower > million dollars upon me?
Iono, I’m fine getting easy enough ToD’s just DHCing to Lightning Loop. Don’t fully understand Dante’s HSD/ mechanics just yet to know how to best utilize his bolts =/
*It’s just cold shower then press Assist 1+2 at the same time. If you got 1 bar it’ll cancel into Million Dollars. You’re basically THCing on 1 meter. Naturally if you got more than 1 meter when you do it then the other character’s THC will come out too.
Thanks. Should have figured its just like wesker.
