Does Dorm dark hole assist + prop shredder relaunch not work anymore? Is it even possible off launch > clay pidgeon > prop shredder? I can’t seem to get the timing down for either that or cold shower. Maybe my combo is too stale?
Been a while since i touched dorm assists in the lab, but i distinctly remember dark hole + prop shredder still working. When exactly are they flipping out of it? Cold shower hitstun actually deteriorates in Ultimate now, but not enough to mess up prop shredder + assist relaunches

Thanks for the reply.
In cold shower’s case doesn’t seem to work for me after a certain amount of hits. Cold shower xx prop shredder simply doesn’t connect after long combos, maybe I can call Dorm a little sooner?
In the case of cold pidgeon I’m doing a pretty basic combo to test it. (abc stinger volcano jh air play jh launch shots prop shredder hammer volcano beehive) back dash launch > one shot of clay pidgeon + call dorm > prop shredder. It seems like they pop out after the 2nd or first hit of prop shredder but it totally LOOKS like dark hole is hitting them at the same time.
I theorycrafted doing this at the end of a very long DT combo so I may just have to find another assist that can extend dante’s combos after a ground bounce. But if this actually did work it’d be a lot more satisfying.
I had the same problem the first time i picked that assist, maybe you should try after a Hard Knock down back dash cancel into crouch call dorm slightly before using cold shower and then use prop shredder
I have been in the lab 3 or 4 days trying to find new stuff with Dante/Dorm and they work incredible well together, even better with Vergil or Doom at the end , Liberation works great with Dante, maybe even better than Dark Hole, he can do some unpredictable resets with just the liberation with no power-ups at all, this duo is gonna wreck teams.
Without assists,devil trigger or starting of a hammer it is not possible to do more than 800k ( i hope i am wrong) but i think there are combos that can do about 750k from mid screen, i have only been using assists in my combos for the last 2 months so i don’t remember the exact damage of solo combos, a lot of the time it doesn’t matter because i usually zone a little with dante so i chip like 50k or 100k damage at least, and also build like 2 bars in one combo so the extra 50k damage in the combo a lot of times(not all) it is not that important, in my opinion every combo that does more than 700k is good.
if you want damage just do shot loops… always been like that. ive been using them as a bnb for 2 weeks off hammer and any midscreen hit, great results.
Hey guys, for anyone using the Vergil/Dante order what combo(s) are you doing to get good damage?
Trying to find something that builds me some meter and deals damage.
.H>.cr.M>s.H>stinger>BC volcano>j.H>air play>j.H>s.H>s.S>j.M>j.M>j.H>beehive>s.S~H~Stinger>BC Teleport>Hammer>Cold Shower+Vergil Rapid Slash> Sky Dance>Beehive>Stinger>BC Volcano~Beehive>Million Dollars.
Easy and effective, this is for dante, with vergil use the spiral swords loop, there are better combos though.
Still hasn’t found anything with Tasky 
Taskmaster combo extension:
Call Taskmaster Assist, do Volcano xx Beehive #Kappa. Will add 30k damage if all arrows hit, so it’s better than nothing.
I found something good with task arrows(the vertical ones) like 2 weeks ago:
In corner: hammer>call task then volcano>tk volcano>Million Catarats>s.S~H>Stinger>BC Hammer>volcano~beehive>Stinger>BC Volcano~Beehive>Million Dollars; i am sure about the first part but don’t remember the exact combo, tell me if this works; and that’s not all.
Midscreen: hammer>call task then volcano>tk volcano>Revolver >gun ghoot loops x 3> stinger>BC Teleport>Hammer>Volcano~Beehive>Million Dollars
Hope it helps you bro, if i find something more i will post it.
I don’t main task though , i just like messing with assists.
Maybe I should switch to some other cool shot assist (or even a beamer)
The arrows of task are good for dante neutral game, it helps you zone better and rush more safely, though there are other great assists for him, drones, vajra, h missiles, Rapid Slash, etc,
I dont think there is much better than Task/Hawk arrows or Mag Disruptor for Dante. None of them extend combos really well(Disruptor cannot extend period), but are fantastic for his pressure and mixups with BC Boxdashes and teleports. I really like Task with Dante, Task uses Jam session better than any character not called Zero, and Dante uses Task arrows well and they have very solid DHC synergy. Iron Man beam is potentially the “best” horizontal assist for Dante, but it requires you use IronMan and have fun with that combo scaling. They also give you throw confirms(Task/Hawk a particularly easy one).
Don’t think too much about combos, all you are fighting for is 50k damage, the neutral support and mixups the assist gives is far more important than adding a petty 50k damage to your bnb. Granted you can get fantastic assists that do both (hidden missiles comes to mind), but I don’t think many fast horizontal assists(not drones) really help Dante with the combo aspect in ultimate.
I see the combo extends as a method to get more meter, as killing with less hits is quite important in some matchups
Hey guys, just picked up dante yesterday and im having trouble doing his Basic BnB.
[ Day 1 Ultimate ] - :l:
:h: :f::h: :s::atk: :dp: j. j.:h: j.:qcf::l:>>>>>> :s:~:h: j.:qcf::l::l:<<<<< :df::h::h::h: :f::h:
:s::atk: :d::d::s: j.:s:/j.:qcf::l::l: :dp:~:m: :qcf::atk::atk:- 638,000 Damage
Its not Bold Canceling. I just cant seem to hit the highlighted part. I get the launch and the couple of bullets but cant reach my opponent for the hammer.

Dont mind my messy inputs.
Thanks a bunch
Haha, looks like there is a typo in the first combo in the thread. You are supposed to do S~H~S to get prop shredder out then super jump and do hammer.
In the corner you must also backdash before doing S otherwise S~H~S will whiff.
the back dash is not required, it makes it easy to do but it can be done with or without the backdash.
after the bullets cancel into prop shredder by pressing S again , then you can super jump and do the hammer without problem.
they are just a little different, this is a 910k simple combo: Hammer>Million Catarats>DT>Million Catarats>s.S(try to delay it as much as you can)>j.M>j.H>beehive>s.H>s.S~H>stinger>BC Teleport >Hammer>Volcano~Beehive>Million Dollars, i am not sure about the damage but it is not less than i said, there are a lot of other variations, if you want to reach the million you need to use the shoot loops after the second M. Catarats or maybe specific assists(viper burning kick, nemesis launcher slam , vajra,etc.), the shoot loops is almost always the way to go.
