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

Its kinda cool, there are now Capcom characters popular enough to bring non-fighting fans in, last time it was only marvel people that joined up :wink:

i dont get it…

ken sucks in MvC2.

lol jaykay i get what you mean. I dont see dante being a problem though, if he really has all those moves how many people are gonna be really exceptionally good with him? not to mention well find away around it. dante was gonna be everyones choice as soon as he was announced. not long before ihateDante signs up for SRK.

I’m in the same boat, maybe minus the whole ā€œgirlā€ thing. But that shouldn’t stop us (actual) Dante fans. I’ll be using him with a ā€œ: Dā€ on my face while everyone else is bitching about how ā€œnoobishā€ he is.

I’ve never been one to be deterred by peoples cries of ā€œnoobishnessā€. Dante has had a spot on my team the moment he was announced and he’s staying there through the thick and the thin.

I here ya. I play Maxi in SC and Christie/Eddy in Tekken, infamous ā€˜button mash characters’. But I love them genuinely to notoriety can suck it.

Lol, nvm.

Even if he ā€œMightā€ be, Dante is still to fucking cool to drop if your a DMC fan ride that shit out, don’t be discouraged… shit i look at it like this… if Dante does get enough hype DMC 5 might be in the works soon, thats what im hoping for at lease… after many years of playing all DMC titles, creating combo videos ect… i’m damn sure gona rock wit Dante in this game, you should to.

There’s rumor that a Western dev may work on DMC5. This breaks my heart if true.

Damn. They’ll prob get the cinematcs right but idk about the combat or level design

With Reuben and his team the cinema should be on point (provided Yuji returns as well).

But gameplay will almost certainly take a hit.

No… No… I’m not hearing this. LA LA LA LA LA…

Rumor also has it that the western developer is Ninja Theory, the people who brought us Heavenly Sword.

I simply have no confidence in Western action games. God of War is overrated, Origins Wolverine was a good try, but generally we haven’t made anything on par with DMC (or Ninja Gaiden). Ninja Theory sure as hell ain’t ready.

They’d have to buy my favor with Dante-Nero/Virgil co-op Bloody Palace. Then we’ll talk.

If the rumors are true.

That would suck. Horribly.

Big concern for me is that Wester developers seem less effective/interested in delivering on the cheese factor, which DMC thrives on and Capcom is GODLIKE at delivering. I’d say something about Western developed action/hack’n’slash games being more auto-comboish… but most action games period are like that period.

ill definitely check dante out…im thinking hes gonna be the strider of this game with all those specials though. we shall see

^ Yeah seeing the trickster teleport or w/e name they gave it really makes me wonder if strider is gona make it… cause with that ability is there really any need for strider?.. <~ strider fan…
And also i’m not liking the rumors lol i really hope we all get a great game n not some half assed DMC or should i say hello DMCv2.0? =/.

Amen. Dante had a spot on my main team for this game since I first started learning how to S rank in DMC1. Rocking with him 4 games later (DMC, VJ, DMC3, DMC4 BTW, screw DMC2), I’ll be damned if I let some jock jumpers hopping the bandwagon put me off to kicking ass with him.

You know what, I was really for Strider making his return, but now that you bring this up, I’m not so sure I care about him being in. Minus the obs, Dante seems to overlap enough with Strider that saving a slot for him may be a waste.

What The Fuck? Dude, Orobouros.

I know what Orobouros is and i’m not talking about strider, i’m talking about for Dante i wasn’t sure if they named Dantes trickster teleport or not.
