Yeah, I figured I’d put it twice because it’s the followup to Reverb Shock and Jet Stream.
a lil confusing imo
I would imagine Acid Rain is an overhead.
Otherwise it doesn’t seem to be too much of an effective special. It has a long start up and limited horizontal range. Dante’s Cerberus attack (the one where he flips foward like a cyclone) is an overhead, which is surprising because it’s pretty safe and has a quick start up. If anything, I’d imagine Acid Rain -to be- the overhead, and not Cerberus Cyclone to be one. Hopefully both are. (My DMC3:SE lingo is off, sorry).
Also, for those wondering Dance Macabre is a style cancel after his Cerberus Cyclone attack (the flip forward one). I saw it on a youtube video, made a mental note to link it here but I forgot. And I honestly can’t find it on youtube admist the thousand matches online. Just take my word for it.
most moves like acid rain (dante’s missiles, dooms missiles) aren’t overhead tho’.
Embrace your gayness, DO IT. (Except if you get all flamboyant, FUCK THAT)
I respect Capcom for giving Dante as many moves as an SNK character. lol
FixT.
Dante’s Acid Rain won’t be an over head. Let’s not be silly. Could you imagine how broken that’d be? Knock down, acid rain, cr A on wake up for free combo.
Looks like someone hasn’t played KOF since '94.
Yeah. In 2002, Angel has like 20 special moves.
How many style cancel moves does Dante have? Fireworks, The Hammer, Air Shot (his assist with E & I), Rainstorm and two other E & I shots (one straight, the other downwards).
I said 94 because 95 probably has more moves than him 
he probably has 8 times the number of real special moves of any character in any 2d fighter ever >> weird chain crap doesn’t count, are Abel’s rekkas 5 separate moves?

I found the “Lightning Legs” Style Change some others were talking about in the old Dante thread, at around 5:04. Looks like a Style Cancel of Volcano.
The move itself is reminiscent of Dante’s Beowulf combo II that canceled into Hyper Fist… for now I will refer to it as Hyper Kick.
EDIT: Holy balls, looking at the clip again, the Style Change doesn’t end at the rapid kicks. Dante finishes with an Axe kick (EXACTLY like Beowulf combo II) that causes groundbounce. You can see in the vid that Dante was able to launch after the Style Change.
So awesome, you could probably do ABC, Volcano>Hyper Kick, Launch, air series, Sky Dance, Reverb Shock> Fireworks, Million Dollar>KFC, Jet Stream> Fireworks, Million Dollar… Hnnnghhhhhhhh
Yea before I started looking at videos of Dante at E3. I had feeling that dante was going to play exactly the way he does in DMC 3. I think it’s becoming true. But i also feel like it seems like some people who with plays dante don’t have much respect much for the character. That’s in my opinion. It seem every video you see it’s the same BnB combo.It’s like they’re focus on winning more than exploring. Anyway I just wanted to share my opinion. I know it’s stupid.
I understand what your saying and its not stupid… you shoulda seen what the first thread was like when he was announced sooo many haters all because it was the younger dante and not the older one… Jocelot knows what im talkin about lol… And now everyone is riding him because hes actually good lulz… but i think once the game comes out we’ll have alot of time to explore dante…
@jocelot thats one hell of a combo lol
I’ll cum buckets if we can do that.
I can’t believe people would bitch about the Dante from the best DMC.
Some like DMC1 over 3 (mostly due to difficulty)but not me.
And I dont think you guys realize we made a major breakthrough…Jocelot used KFC!!! Did you lose a bet?
Holy fucking shit, so he did! How did I miss that? Welcome to the team Josie!
Eh, I kinda gave up the Anti KFC campaign a little while ago, at this point it’s just not worth it anymore.
Edit. Also, it’s hard to pick between 1 and 3 for best DMC. 1 had the kickass soundtrack, utterly fantastic enviroment, great atmosphere, pretty good boss fights, but DMC3 had the best combat, Reuben Langdon, awesome boss battles, kickass difficulty (that was never frustrating or cheap, it kicked your ass but you could kick it’s ass right back), a brilliant array of weapons, styles…
If I had to pick one, I would go for 3 because I had the most time with it, the combat system is so expansive you could play forever and never figure everything out, it’s great. I’d go:
DMC3>DMC1>DMC4>>>DMC2. I don’t know where the new game will rank, but hopefully it will be better than 2 (not that two was a bad game… it was just a mediocre DMC game, imo).
I’m not gonna lie, the Volcano>Hyper Kick revelation got me super pumped. And lol yeah I remember the Dant-hate waaaaay back when. Than again there was a lot of hate for a lot of things I thought was awesome, lol.
Regardless, this requires a celebration.

We can see some more Volcano action here (thanks KOFkula). Really loving the Jcancel properties on it. I wonder if you can do the same with Tempest?
Let’s not blow it out of porportion. We shouldn’t be celebrating my defeat.
We’ll see what happens. I’m not that gay…
