Smokin' Sick Style! The Dante General Discussion Thread!

lol guess its looking real good for dante then.

@Dreadz18x: And yea im looking forward to seeing the interesting stuff people come up with with DT, I would really like to see the specific changes it makes to his movelist and stuff.

I’d say Dante is more capable of comebacks than a lot of the cast… >_>

Well it sure as hell isn’t looking bad.

bows head and prays

Damn right.

OK scenario. He has 30-40 percent life left, both partners are dead, and opponent has all 3 characters in decent shape with 2 meters left. He has Chun/Iron Man/Doom. You have 4 meters to work with. Just humor me if the Dante player was a better player than the opp. do you think Dante could pull a comeback from this? You have I guess KFC, and DT super. Does Dante have some good zoning tactics or moves to help him wittle down the opponent to gain the W. Or is he an all or nothing character like Im assuming? I dunno Id like to know from people who’ve had decent amount of time with him.

BTW it is looking too good for Dante which is scary lol. I agree with you, jak d rip. Thats why Im tryin to see if he really is tat aewsome and cant do no wrong

That’s not a scenario in which I’d recommend zoning, or whittling the opposing team. You’ll lose off of chip from the assists alone.

But that’s not to say the situation is at all unwinnable for Dante. Play mobile, land one hit, kill Chun in the ensuing combo (Chun has weak defense and probably isn’t in perfect health since she’s point). Once Chun’s down, mixup IM as he comes in. If you can land a decent hit into combo, kill him with Dante’s 100% KFC combo. Since it’s level 3 X-Factor, it should last for the rest of the match. Next, Devil Trigger, then do the same to Doom. If you can land a full combo into super, the large attack boost from both DT and Lvl. 3 X-Factor Should allow you to kill him (or get him close to dead) in one combo, as long as he’s not in perfect health.

Alternatively, catching both point and an assist with a full combo at any point will allow you to one shot them both, and we just got a real match, just like that.

I guess we’ll have to wait til the game comes out. :slight_smile:
It’s not that far away now.

I have plenty of ideas for his DT already :wink:

His DT exclusive moves have never been shown outside of that one SDCC exhibition match. I need to see what the properties are and how they can be integrated into Dante’s playstyle. Like, could you do (In DT) Magic series, launch, air series, E Air Raid? Or air series, flight, Vortex, E?

How do you do that combo that kills one of your opponent’s characters at the start of the match? Example: [media=youtube]IO8cTuWIwRU[/media]

The standard 100% combo is basically:

A B C E, j.A, j.B, j.C, Killer Bee, E, j.A, j.B, j.C, Skydance, Million Dollar (mash for more hits), KFC (X Factor Cancel), Million Dollar (Mash for more hits).

LuvCheez tried to add some extra flourish to that combo, looks like he did A, B, C, Stinger>Million Stab, E etc. You can even do Jetstream>Million Dollar after the KFC for more damage.

It’s annoying me that reverb shock>fireworks>million dollar isn’t the standard follow up. No idea why Marn keeps ignoring that extra damage.

Tournament play. Less Risk. Do what works with 100% consistency.

Mashing C does not seem to be highly demanding execution. There were times when he was finishing jet stream with no meter and still not throwing it out for the extra damage.

Oh really? Had no idea he even had DT exclusive moves, thought it just healed him, increased his damage and defense. Keeps sounding better and better everyday. Still wish there was someone with a saki from tvc type install super though but thats another story.

Got a link to that SDCC vid of the DT exclusive moves?

Air Raid looks like a hoot.

Nvm… Thought it was moves outside of air raid and vortex

And a flight mode. And there may be alterations to his existing moves. I’m gonna explore him quite a bit when I can. If DT is as strong as I’m seeing, I could revolve my style around perpetual DT with building meter and switching it on often. And DT+XF is a very promising prospect - something I’m especially interested in.

I wonder if he will have his multiple DT forms?
Like his Rebellion DT, Beowulf DT, Cerberus DT, etc.
