Smokin' Sick Style! The Dante General Discussion Thread!

Although Bayonetta has the sexy slick gameplay, Devil may Cry 3/4 still has a place in my heart. Love the series. Love that playing him in MvC3 isn’t far removed from his own series (in terms of pacing and even some mechanics).

Anyway, I’m kinda done with the general thread and it’s time for me to dig into the blind spots of the characters I wanna play!

One of Dante’s ‘mash changes’ from C is him jumping backward and shooting his pistols (Mash C+:l:). Is he in the air after that? Like can I jump cancel while he’s in the air? Or more importantly can I teleport quickly after that?

The early true style tournaments make me chuckle, almost everyone thought gunslinger was a dead style then, so the videos ended up being pretty much nothing but basic combos while maintaining Artemis’ charge.

Good question. Probably locks you in the animation until you land, I’d think.

Yeah looks that way. Trying to find applications for all of his stuff.

I had to share one of my personal favorites too :slight_smile:

Anyways
I’ll been watching pretty much every video of Dante and Trish I can find and I gotta say… I am dying waiting for this game to come out, and I know I’m not the only one :wink: Must feed my hunger

This little cutscene brings back memories as to why Vergil needs to be in MvC3.

I’d rather just have a DLC alt model for Dante as Vergil.

I’d totally go for playable Virgil. His katana would have stupid good range, he uses Beowulf better, and FORCE EDGE. Then there’s his spirit swords that can orbit around him.

His movelist writes itself.

orbiting summoned swords + DMC3SE’s dark slayer would make him a good strider stand in… just without the zoo.

I’m cool if Vergil was Hibiki with longer strings, more steez, and chips & cheese

Rather have Spiral if we’re summoning flying swords >>

No… Virgil.

DO YOU HEAR ME?!

I’m hoping for Vergil DLC. If it ever gets announced, I will be so happy.
I can already see his movelist now.

Not enough Ram.

I wonder how good Dante’s Anti Air’s are. I’m not talking about assists. I’m talking about Twister and Volcano. Also remember Dante has Prop Shredder. Has anyone thought any combos with these moves ?

Don’t forget his DT Moves also. So it sound likes plenty of possibility.

Also on another note I wonder could Dante run up on walls (trickster style). You guys remember Dante doing that in DMC 3.

Ooo Yea I forgot about Royal guard. It would have been cool if they add the parry(Release) Block with him, but that would have made him just overrated and powered. Anyway:woot:

Parry would break Dante, a expert player would DOMINATE everyone. Add the Release part? GODLIKE. Pretty much why I wouldn’t ever want it in a game like this, lol!

Also, I’d think Prop Shredder would be a good AA, it has a big hitbox and looks like it can be jump canceled. Too bad people don’t use Twister more often, I’d like to see how it fares compared to Volcano (which can be jump canceled, and has a SC followup) or Jam Session. It seems to also have a SC followup (Tempest), and if that functions like how it did in DMC3 (Swordmaster for lyfe, yo) it could end up very good.

If he was in SoulCalibur he’d have all of those things and more.

I would have liked to see some royal guard stuff in the game but he already has a lot of tolls so w/e, as for AA, well he has moves that look like they would be good anti airs, his ground pound, jam session, and flaming whirlwind move but since I know next to nothing about the properties of these moves, in terms of invincibilty and priority then I cannot comment.

On a completely unrelated note, I posted this in the ammateratsu forum but though I should post it her to see both opinions. I was in the theory lab and thought of a combo, ammy performs a combo into mist, then DHC’s into dante’s devil trigger and dante continues the combo into w/e he desires. What do ya’ll think of that? I had been thinking of a mist DHC ever since I saw ammy DHC into wesker’s counter for him to continue the combo in the 1up combo video. In this case the hyper you DHC into isn’t a complete waste like weskers was, plus if I am correct and DHC’s reset the damage scaling then dante will probably be able to kill whatever character you just sent to him. But I would love to get you guys opinion.

Well, his block animation is Royal Guard, that is good enough for me.

Do any of Dante’s attacks in MvC3 use Spiral? I haven’t seen it once, this is really worrying me.
