User blog:Poostanky!/Dante In Super Smash Bros.

FIRST OFF! This is is my opinion and my opinion only. If you agree or disagree is up to you.

Today, I will have a say on a character that I wanted on SSB for a long time. Quite a while actually. You all know Dante, from Devil May Cry. The ones with all the weapons and the son of a demon (and an angel). Today, I will view his stats and moves on this wiki today. Enjoy.

Dante: Stats

 * Recovery: Unknown, since I have a lot of considerations on moves of his.
 * Speed: Average to high speed. Maybe matching speed with Pit/Dark Pit.
 * Strength: One of the highest in the game, almost matching with or above Ike or Link.
 * Defense: Probably great! Did you forget, he has "Royal Guard" from DMC: 4?
 * Jump Height: Similar to Bayonetta's jump height.
 * Weight: Maybe falling in between 185-190 lbs.

Pros

 * Great combo-game.
 * Disjoints on most attacks.
 * Good recovery (even if I have different considerations on his recovery moves).
 * Heavyweight; Surviving longer.
 * Hight mobility
 * Decent speed

Cons

 * Noticeable end lag on smash attacks and maybe some aerials.
 * Recovery may not have a hitbox (because I have different considerations on his recovery, so I'm not sure).
 * Has average traction.
 * Heavyweight; Easy to combo.
 * Suffers from reflects and spacing, even though he does this really well.

Dante On SSB
Here, we have Dante, from Devil May Cry!

Notice how Dante would be a good matchup against Bayonetta, and they have some similarities! However, if you seen Screw Attacks: Death Battle, then Dante triumphs!.

Anyway, why I choose him is simple: -More 3rd parties -Versatility in moves -One of the few who is a mix of opposing forces (Angel and Demon). -Is just a madman, and is bad*ss! Also, his moves are off the charts!

This is his move set:

What this does is: He will start with 3 slashes with his Rebellion sword, and then do a multiple stab combo, which is called "Million Stab", and similar to Sheik's multiple jab animation.
 * Jab Attack: Dante will use his Rebellion Sword: Combo B. This comes from DMC 4.


 * F-Tilt: He will use his Osiris Scythe for this, and the attack is called "Prop". This came from DmC: Devil May Cry. He spins his Osiris around in circles, causing a multi-hit combo.


 * D-Tilt: We have Dante using his "Quick Drive" for his down tilt. He slashes the ground, and this creates a red projectile. Though in the game, it shoots far range, but let us digress and make it a temporary and short slash from below.


 * U-Tilt: This move, "High Time (Ground Version)" comes from DmC: Devil May Cry. It sends them upward vertically with his sword, Rebellion.


 * F-Smash: He will use his "PF013: Epidemic", "PF124: Hatred", and "PF398: Revenge" from DMC 4. This is a move in which he uses all three of his shooting projectiles. The "PF013: Epidemic" will be the uncharged version of his F-Smash. "PF124: Hatred" will be used for his mid-way charged F-Smash, dealing more damage. And lastly, his "PF398: Revenge" will be the last and the most damage dealing part of his F-Smash. The "Epidemic" will shoot a weak energy blast (or maybe a blunt missile, I don't know for sure). "Hatred" will shoot 3 missiles, and "Revenge" will shoot a straight line of energy at the opponent.


 * D-Smash: Dante will use his "Quick Slam" move, with the version being in DmC: Devil May Cry. He uses his power to slam the ground with his one hand, causing a powerful tremor on the ground.


 * U-Smash: His U-Smash will be his "Divine Dragon" and it's weaker variations for its uncharged versions, coming from DMC 4. He lands an uppercut from ground to air with his demonic power, leaving a red trail from his fist.


 * U-Air: His U-Air will be using his "Coyote" from DMC: 4. This is not a move used in the game, but he will shoot his gun in an upward direction.


 * D-Air: Dante will use "Rain Storm" in the air, coming from DMC 4 (another DMC 4 move, I know...). He spins in the air upside down with Ebony and Ivory in his hands, shooting in diagonal downwards and straight downwards directions.


 * F-Air: Dante uses his "Fireworks", but the air version. This is coming from DMC: 4. He shoots about 3 shots from his "Coyote" in a forward direction.


 * D-Air: This will be from the supernatural axe, "Arbiter". He will be using "Drop" from DmC: Devil May Cry. Dante will be dropping in a straight downward slash, and this creates a tremor with cracks going toward the opponent, having a hotbox.


 * B-Air: Using Ike's B-air, his B-Air will use his Rebellion Sword, but this will have less cool down and will be faster than Ike's B-Air.


 * Side-B: Dante will be using "Tornado" with his Aquila. He of course, spins around in a tornado motion. This causes multiple hits, and ending with a hard hitting finisher.


 * Up-B: Dante uses his "Sky Star/Air Hike" or "Angel Dash", but in an upward or diagonal version. I was even thinking he used his "Inverse Rainstorm" with Ebony and Ivory". Anyway, all are good. "Sky Star" is from DMC:4, "Angel Dash" is from DmC: Devil May Cry, and so is "Inverse Rainstorm".


 * Down-B: Using his Yamato, his Osiris, and his Rebellion, he will perform an attack like Marth's neutral B, which can change the attack depending on the direction. Using Down-B will just use his Yamato combo. Using Down-B and then pressing up will result in using his Osiris. Using Down-B will give you the chance to use his Rebellion.


 * Wall Jump: Dante has a wall jump, called "Kick Jump" in DMC: 4.


 * Down Taunt: He will use his "B/A Style Rank Taunt 2", coming from DMC: 4.


 * Up Taunt: Uses Ebony and Ivory, spinning them around and saying "This party's getting' crazy!" This quote comes from DMC: 3.


 * Side Taunt: Using his Rebellion to raise it up in triumph, he will say "Let's dance!" This is part of a quote from DmC: Devil May Cry. In the game, he says "You wanna dance? Let's Dance!".

That is all for today. Tell me what are your thoughts on his moves! Do you think differently or do you agree? WHO KNOWS! Thank you all, and Maxo-Daxo, out for today!
