This is gonna be one hell of a party! The Dante Thread!

So, I talked to Keno who had the pleasure of playing MvC3:FTW for a while, and from what he’s saying it is easily the best game of the Vs series, and that as it stands right now, Dante and Deadpool are the best characters in the game. He said they couldn’t find any infinite combos.

He doesn’t use any weapon switching thing, they’re just different special moves.

Maybe his level 3 will be opening up Pandora’s Box like in DMC4 and the flash does big damage on contact and major chippage on block.

JUST IN FROM KEITS ON THE EVO STREAM

236 a = is the Sphere attack from Artemis(which homes in)(can hold down button to charge)
236 b = is the Crystal attack from Cerberus
236 c = is the Hysteric attack from Kalina Ann(which dones a ton of chip damage)

Yep, Dante’s gun super got shortened a lot.

And his Devil Trigger looks cooler. Anybody know if he got a 3rd Hyper?

Some of you might recognize me as the “kid” who was playing extensively over the past few days.

Dante easily has around twenty moves. Most of his Crazy Combo extensions from DMC3 are in, which is quite impressive.

SPECIALS

GROUND
236A - Artemis’ charge move from DMC3’s Gunslinger. Can be held for more projectiles.
236B - Crystal, which is one of Cerberus’ moves from Swordmaster. Excellent for ending blockstrings, and it chains into his super easily.
236C - Hysteric from Kalina Ann in Gunslinger. Crazy chip damage, and it also has a slight homing property.

214A - Jam Session. Excellent as an assist, but not as useful on point from what I’ve seen.
214B - Revolver. Causes groundbounce on hit.
214C - Jetstream. Slow initial startup, but it chains into Fireworks on hit.

AIR
236A - Killer Bee from Beowulf. As the person above mentioned, it doesn’t become an overhead on crouch, but it does cause groundbounce on hit. A decent air-to-ground approach if spaced properly.
236B - Air Play from Nevan. Can be charged for more damage, and travels at a 90-degree angle.
236C - Sky Dance from Agni and Rudra. I rarely used this move so I can’t report much on it, but it’s a decent combo finisher.

CRAZY COMBO EXTENSIONS
Similar to DMC3, Dante can chain into unique moves by pressing the corresponding button repeatedly. This is an incomplete list, but I’ll try to add to this tomorrow night, as today is the last day of EVO.

Ebony and Ivory barrage - C repeatedly.
Drive - Hold Exchange during a launcher.
Million Stab - C repeatedly during Stinger (6C)
Rain Storm - C repeatedly in the air.
Fireworks - C repeatedly during Jet Stream.

I also saw people do Prop Shredder and Grapple by mashing buttons, but I’m unsure of the inputs.

B&B’s
5A 5B 5C 214C (Mash C) 236AB. Seems to work midscreen and corner.
5A 5B 5C E A B C DJ A B 236A. At this point, you can relaunch, or go into 236AB in the corner. Seems to be somewhat random or situational, sadly. Perhaps it’s due to infinite prevention, but I had a difficult time landing this outside of the corner.

SSJ, the ground bounce move in the air is The Hammer, not Killer Bee, unless you’re referring to the actual kick?

Of all the supers they could’ve given Dante they just give him one where he shoots you a bunch of times? Real creative, Capcom.

No Alastor DT with Air Raid and lightning bolts? No Ifrit DT with Kick13 and Inferno? Hell, they didn’t give him fucking Round Trip. Makes me wonder if they’re even take this seriously.

You’re either trolling, or you can’t see that this is DMC3 dante, before he got the ifrit and alastor weapons.

All in all just another point for DMC1 Dante since they can’t seem to come up with anything better than “hurr he shots u a bunch”.

Yeah, because we’ve seen all his Hypers right? And his specials aren’t good at all. Hell, they made him so terrible, we should all just play blindfolded if someone picks him.

Since Jam Session is now a 214 command, does Dante have a new 623 (dragon punch) command? Is it Agni and Rudra’s tempest? I’m pretty sure I saw tempest in one of the vids.

The dude has guns. You want him to just not use them?

Besides, this is a ground projectile super. What else do you expect? ._.

Anyone found out what his level 3 super does yet?

Kind of annoyed, Seth teases about how awesome Dante’s level 3 is, then we never get to see it =/

Ebony and Ivory are Dante’s signature weapons… why the hell shouldn’t he use them? Why some side weapon from the first game over his trademarks?

Dante’s guns super is fine, the ending is awesome.

If you don’t think that the double shot JACKPOT that killed Mundus and Arkham is cool enough to be a super, there is something wrong with you.

maybe because he loves DMC3 Dante and have the DMC3 figure at home plus maybe he didnt play it through to the end. but thats just my opinion why he isnt banned yet

i would like to see that DANTE can switch his battle styles in game like in DMC4 but then i think again and realize that this would be to difficult for the gamers.

but what i want certainly is AGNI & RUDRA they would rock cause they never stop talkin like deadpool :).

and a question for the end! Did anybody figured out what his level 3 super does im very interested but never seen it

Meh, Spiderman and Megaman are probably gonna be the best characters when their annonced.

Read somewhere that they were going to reduce the number of moves he has. A shame, really. 16’ish different special moves sounds awesome.

Meanwhile, Guile is probably in a corner somewhere, crying.
