Smokin' Sick Style! The Dante General Discussion Thread!

Marn says: Dante is actually bad.

Go tell it on a mountain.

Wait… so he’s claiming Dante sucks because the combo’s he’s doing now will be irrelevant once people get a chace to figure him out? I don’t understand. The fact that Dante has a crapton of options unseen yet should be all the more reason to continue using him, but whatever.

Hah, it goes with what I was saying hto’, so I have to cheer him on!

I just get the feeling that despite all his moves dante is like SUPER straightforward. He has a whole bunch of different ways to do the same things.

Thing is, the level 1 stuff that we’re all apparently doing with Dante now is clearly nowhere near his limit as a character. Even if the combos into relaunch into hyper stuff we’re working with so far is weaksauce compared to what’s possible in MvC3, with as many moves and options as Dante has, I think odds are he’ll probably still have some of the sickest shit in the game regardless.

Kinda pompous for someone to think they reached the limits of a character so soon. And sad that a character is only as useful because of unfamiliarity, according to this guy.

Cry me a river.

wait, you’re surprised that marn comes off as pompous?

Was my tone of surprise? If so that wasn’t my intention. However, I don’t know the guy and I won’t make claims to his character. All I know is how his comments sound to me in this case.

If he just doesn’t like Dante, it’s whatever to me. But the reasoning was kinda meh.

He just wants every other player to have misinformation if it means his odds are better.

I don’t get how Marn can admit to going so far to troll the community as to play a low tier character while claiming he is actually good (Alex), and then everyone still takes his words to mean something valuable.

Unblockable resets, really Marn? lol didnt know unblockable resets existed.

I do agree with him though, I also don’t think Dante is as good as people thinks he is. From what I have seen, I don’t see effective ways for him to break the opponents guard compared to some of the other characters. Unless he has an instant overhead or a decent high low approach I am unaware of?

he does have a bunch of moves but do half of them even lead to anything? other than super

Does Dante have a ground overhead? I’m unsure because I must be the only person on earth who didn’t try him at an event.

It would slightly disappoint me for him to not have an overhead.

Why wouldnt he have one. Arent most jumping attacks overhead?

I said ground(standing) overhead, not jumping.

A standing overhead, I hate jumping.

This reminds me of when J Wong said that Adon was trash and then proceeded to get owned by GamerBee at EVO2010.

Not that I know of… I didn’t get to test out even half of what he has yet, but I haven’t seen any footage of such a move either (and I’ve been looking). Closest I’ve seen so far is teleport into aerial normal. Which seems quick enough to be godlike for counter hits and mixups with assist coverage.

See guys this is what i’m talking about. People who don’t have much respect for the character. Talk like Dante can teleport. What! It shows that some people don’t know much about DMC 3 or Dante in general.

I do agree that the game it’s out yet. So we don’t know for sure if Dante is low tier or not.

Remember what they said at EVO 2010. It’s not really about how strong the character is, but if it works for you then GREAT. I know Marn aint stop me from playing Dante.
