Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3/Dante

Dante

TBW

In a nutshell While many characters can boast that they are a jack of all trades, Dante literally has tools for every situation. From dive kicks to teleports to mode changes to flight modes, Dante can get out of anything. He is a fantastic point character as well. Truly a one man army.

Tips and Tricks

• Bold Canceling: Using Bold Move to cancel Stinger, and then performing another move before Bold Move starts or Million Stab 5 per-hits, effectively canceling Stinger into a move.
  • Example: , , , + (Stinger), + (Bold Move) or + tap (Million Stabs; 5 per-hit), + (Volcano) is the most common usage. You must do the Stinger > Bold Move or Million Stab > Volcano very quickly.
  • Bold Move only: Once you understand how Bold Canceling works, many new combo opportunities open up for Dante.
• Stinger can be canceled into teleport by pressing + + immediately followed by  ; if timed properly it'll do the teleport.
  • and are not pressed at the same time, just very, very quickly one after the other
