Doctor Strange can do this now too with a solid DHC. 800k one meter combos that build 1.75. :o
Figures.
No that’s what Nova does.
Iron Man holds up a big neon sign that says “PUNCH THIS RIGHT HERE!”
Nova’s air dash has the loudest startup ever. It’s like, PWOW*.
*I suck at onomatopoeia.
Yeah but after that start up its actually really hard to block.
DJ said it well a few pages back. There’s a really quick start up… and then the mixup has already happened.
Good point. I think I’ve been spoiled by the same handful of Nova players that always go for a boxdash at X range, and trijump at Y range. I just hit my counter button when I hear the sound, and things have been going pretty well. I’m certain that this will stop working in the near future, though.
Maybe I just need to lab harder with Vergil because I am not seeing it. I don’t even know how to make my normals safe on block/whiff.
I don’t really like doing a naked jump in with him, it’s always under cover or in a reset situation. I’ve got a couple of Nova resets that are pretty good (especially the javelin one).

After Playing online all day today I have to say… Fuck Every Devil May Cry Character… Who in the flying fuck thought mixing wolverine dante and wesker into one package was a good idea? seriously… I wish vergil would stand on a cliff overlooking jagged rocks so I could push his ass over.
He would just teleport
Damn it You’re Right…
That’s why I’m gonna pick him up. Not main him…but too good to pass up surely.
Hey Nini, any word on how reliable getting the last hit of Sky Dance to whiff on that first Dante BnB is? I imagine certain characters’ size/weight (i.e. Spencer is considered a “very heavy” character, as is Wolverine and UMvC3 She-Hulk) will cause problems with that.
But then again, you can just adjust by doing Hammer -> OTG xx super, so it’s not like it’s a real problem. Still, it looks like Sky Dance bounce resets into Beehive (lol 3-frame special) may find their way into Dante’s Ultimate BnBs, which will be fun to see commentators and stream monsters react to.
it’s actualy pretty consistent with certain setups. Killer bee->launcher (delay super jump)->sj.MMH skydance works on everybody with similar timing (I think it doesn’t work on “heavy” characters, but will work if you M (double jump) MH skydance). Launcher->chargeshots->stinger->BC teleport->skydance and Launcher->chargeshots->propshredder->JC teleport->skydance are nice ways to set it up too. In the corner you can also do coldshower->stinger->bold move->skydance and it will cross them up, causing the last hit to miss.
The skydance bounce resets into beehive are so good for combo extensions. What I’m looking forward to most is getting ridiculous assist extensions out of that. Plenty of assists will let Dante combo INTO skydance, but very few let him combo after it in vanilla. Now that skydance itself links into beehive, he can be more flexible with skydance assist extensions (it works with Vergil’s rapid slash lol).
vergil is insanely good its not even funny 100+ combos if I get hit once I don’t think i’m gonna buy this game

EYE ON THIS… IT’S FIRST DAY… Still lots to be decided…
THANK YOU. I didn’t realize this, and my mashing sucked. Now I’m getting the damage I need.
Play a character with long-range normals or good stopping power with projectiles. Taskmaster and Dante murder Spidey in vanilla in my experience, and look like they still do so in ultimate. Alternatively, bring out GTFOffme assists to make web-gliding more unattractive. Make sure that you don’t get Happy Birthday’d.
Spidey got nerfed with the “fixes” to his web throws. I didn’t play him much in vanilla, but that makes me sad.
Frank top tier and Tron above Spider-Man. NOPE.
Vergils rush assist might be the new tatsu. I don’t think vergil is above upper-mid but that assist is pretty fucking fantastic. untech spin afterwards where you have DAYS to grab the followup, its pretty gross.
Don’t know, I think Mag’s is still pretty high. New changes to air dashing makes disruptor xx super pretty strong and he can still rom you half way across the screen and if he hits the corner do 2 - 3 reps of gravity loop afterwards. Easily hitting 700k with one meter or 800-900k with squeeze. Found a sweet setup with him where you call weasel shot right before someone comes in and do the gravity down. It results in forcing someone into the weasel shot so if they try to jump out they’ll get hit and when they block you recover quick enough to get a guaranteed high/low 50/50 surprised that move can be useful.
Dante’s buttons also seem to still be pretty rape and his damage is pretty insane.
Only thing I’m sure on … Zero is top 3 in this game, mother fucker is ri - fucking - diculous.
Wesker/Doom/Zero are like the top tiers that somehow escaped the nerf nuke.
These 3 are still ridiculous.
I mean, I was pretty bad at Vanilla. Now Doom is in my main team and I am pretty sick now
