Devil May Cry 3

Those combos are amazing! I was wondering the same thing. How the hell is he pulling Revolver one after another in Swordmaster? Even if he's using the enemy step technique there's no way he could them off so quickly.

(cant be certain till I get back home) - but here's my theory:

The enemy is standing on the ground and Dante throws standard Revolver, jump cancels out of that then throws air Revolver. Then he jump cancels the air Revolver by jumping off the enemy (range should be ok as the 1st Revolver moves you forwards), then throws the Revolver again. I know for a fact it cant be like the Shotgun trap cos the air Revolver wont force Dante downwards out of a jump, he floats on the spot for the duration of the move.

You know what he does with the A&R 4 slashes while staying in the air indefinetly? That's what I was talking about in the email I sent about how I'm banging up Leviathan's Heart - Dante can track in mid-air in any direction by switching over to Nevan's O button slash, he can stay in the air for good and move around too! XD

I want to be able to do those multiple revolvers in Swordmaster! Need to practice...

saur that guys crazy in gunslinger bloody hell i am sorry but the artemis and ebony and ivory and cerberus combos are off the hook i love it 1,000,000%

That, eh, vid is, eh... a joke!! Aerial Rave with Agni & Rudra about 10 times, WTF!! Some sick ass **** in there...

Question though... why is his DT gauge not draining during the Doppelganger bussin? Some trick I aint found yet?

No **** though, that is somer crazy ass stuff. The last few montages were good, but I have seen nicer RG **** from Saur and Venom

I have ripped that parry of Vergil 3's normal spinning blade attack BUT his full parry of Vergils 3's Devil Trigger Spinning blade is nutz... I just burst out laughin at that, mental!!

Never new Artemis and Nevan could be so devastating... great stuff... DMC3 truly is a milestone in the world of gaming.

The guy's DT gauge is always full cos he's unlocked Super Dante by clearing DMD mode.

Venom, I like your Vid of Quicksilver on the Gigapede. That thing is like a lab rat, gonna try out some doppelganger on its head tonight. the way this thread is going it wont be long before there are examples of all styles, all weapon combos on all bosses!!! I love it here

[Saurian]

That aerial infinite with AR pwns so much! It's a jump cancel using the enemy to jump off of (Enemy Step) - the timing is quite tricky at first, also your height in relation to the enemy is very important (if the enemy is too far below you the slashes end up missing). The jump cancel comes in at the end of the 3rd slash, the timing is quite slow, slower than you'd think - if you hit the buttons too fast Dante will carry on to the 4th slash regardless if you throw the cancel or not.

The buttons are a rhythm of: O, O, O, X - O, O, O, X - ....

You dont blatantly push the X button then back onto O, the cancel and reactivation of the combo is so fast that you need to do something like slide your thumb across X and back onto O (you barely tap X and make sure you get back onto O straight after)

If you are getting the opening slashes and initial cancel right but the next set of slashes end up missing - it's because your cancel was too slow.

I use Quicksilver cos if fire out the electric orbs you've got time to reflect them back at him. Makes him look silly! Glad you like the vid. Check out the others.

Ok sussed it! If you look at the video carefully(at around 1:27), the guy's NOT doing multiple ground Revolvers, he's doing short jump > Air Revolver cancels.

Trust me this works. The timing of the button presses is actually quite slow.

http://s33.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=20DRFVCOLW43M02ESXYDCGVOG1

At round 2:30 he does a Revolver > enemy step> Air Revolver. From here you can go into another Revolver as soon as you the land(the guy in the video doesn't do this).

First up, Saur you PIMP!!!! I was trying to get that aerial infinite with AR down last night for TIME. Couldn't see how your getting the O, O, O, X - O, O, O, X - .... Working, it was straight doing me head right in. AND TO SEE A VID OF YOU BUSSIN IT THIS MORNING o_O

Anyways, I wish I had a vid of what I was doing last night, peep this!

I had Doppelganger style with Ebony & Ivory, Rebellion and Nevan equipped. You know the bit just before the Gigapede where the stairs crumble and you fall into that chamber? As soon as I fell into it I started cancelling from Ebony & Ivory to Nevan, just speed tapping the Square and Triangle buttons. This allowed Dante to pretty much hover with only the slightest decent, all the while throwing out mad bats at the goons waiting far below. It was sick cos every now and then one of those bomb dudes would pop >_< Eventually I would be at a height were they could jump up to attack, instead they would get pulled into my gun/batz assault allowing me to tap the jump button to pull off an Enemy Step sending me back up. This went on with me staying off the ground, using a wall jump at one point to keep airborne, until the room was cleared and I just landed an inch from the blue warp exit. Man I tried but just couldn't get the decent right to hover down, kill every last mother****er in the room and warp out! Theres a challenge for you hardcore headz

Then it was time to pwn the Gigapede. Jumped onto its head and went into Doppelganger, two Dantes slashing at its skull took off sick damage as we travelled up to one of its holes. At this point I Air Hiked and switched to Nevan and started speed tapping the Square and Triangle buttons to hover and get the batz lightshow going until he came back out below me. Dropped onto his back, switched to Rebellion and slashed him the full length recharging my magic gage to full. Jumped off again for some more hover (while charging with L1) then back onto his head when he reappeared and unleashed Devil Trigger into its brain just as he started firing his purple balls at me.

Gigapede taking out without touching the floor or the sides

Sorry about the length of that, I need the vid technology I'm sure by now you can visualize though...

HOOO!

That's heavy man! It's sick the way when you start using 1 extra technique it changes your whole game! I was playing around LOADS with the repeated Enemy Step last night, it's the gateway to just about everything that guy is doing in that vid. How is he repeating mid-air Revolver so fast? Cancel the animation with Enemy Step. Infinite AR slashes? Enemy Step again.

You can even hover in front of a bunch of ground based enemies with AR or Cerberus and slash/Revolver infinetly as long as you can keep stepping off them, you can perform the step cancel so low to the ground it appears as though you are short jumping, but you're not - you're not jumping at all, it's only the opening couple of frames of the jump animation that you use to reset the move. It's easiest to practice on DMD mode tbh, cos the enemies bunch up into groups a lot more, giving you basically a platform to jump off of.

It opens up loads more combo opportunities, like for example after your setup into launcher or whatever you can do the repeated slashes with AR till you've had enough, switch to Beowulf, hammerblow, Killer Bee into enemy step, infinite slashes with AR again - this stuff looks SICK! and that's before you even start adding guns and supermoves into the mix!

The bit I'm finding hardest about these extended combos is the weapon switching multiple times within jump cancels, the commands are damn fast and I'm not totally at home doing it yet (I've been jump cancelling for ages, but only using the same move repeated like the jump cancelled Revolver, Doublebreaker and Rapid Killer Bee). Mixing it up to the degree where you are going from Killer Bee straight into Helmbreaker into hammerblow into Killer Bee again is tricky - but when you get it right it's pure Keanu Reeves

Just gotta keep at it till it's comfortable - it's like when you first start bussing up VJ you have to think about buttons and functions, but when you get sick at it you just feel it out.

The cancel is QUICK! Once you get this down it applies to all weapons! You throw the cancel at the end of the 3rd slash - it looks like you're performing 4 slashes but you're not because the 4th one is cancelled before it fully commits. The timing is like O, O, O-X-O, O, O-X-O, O, O....(hope that makes some sence) - the jump cancel and reactivation of the combo is extremely fast, aim to get it so that you dont even see the jump (just a quick twitch then start slashing again)

[Mardigan8]

I can visualize it Spag and it looks gooooooooooooood. I aint got the vid **** either so lengthy babbles are also required by myself.

When I caught the A&R air time in the vid I had to watch it many times to see what was going on, the cancels into attack are so quick they almost impossible to see. Thats what Saur means with sliding over to O after the cancel... it has to be so sly. Tekken and Soul Calibur had moves that required a similair action and it was sick when these moves can be stringed together.

Am trying to develop the A&R air time by switching to Rebelion during it for added pwnge. Not bussin as much speed as the vid but with some practice the air time it can rip will be nutz.

Noticed the small jumps with Revlover aswell, very cheeky. They are alomst non-existent, just enough to get the cancel in.

There was abit aswell where he tearing up Gunslinger and after an extended rainstorm and Nevan Aerial attack he lands on an enemy to execute E&I "foot on the head shot". I just started laughin when he nailed that. It was so "**** you" it aint right!!

[spagmasterswift]

Safe, tbh coming back to Dante after messing with God of War for a bit tripped me out. I was imaging how I was gonna go uppercut then aerial infinite with AR all the way home on the tube, but I'd forgot how ****ing fast it is.

Hard has also turned on me, got thrashed by Vergil (second encounter), he kept going Devil Trigger on me and blocking all my good ****. I even had to use some health at which point I knew it was all over. Whats a good set up for him? He seems to parry a lot and go in with some wild arse Beowulf flips and red hot kicks. Should I be trying to match his style? First time round I just punked him with Trickster, but this time I can get in a few sets of Rebellion slashes and a Devil Trigger release then he just schools me

Also PAL is making me do that light puzzle each time I want to replay him - somebody at Capcom should be shot for changing the continue system!

Its good to be back though My girl is away all weekend too so me and Dante gonna share some quality time

[RLench]

That video was amazing...I'm so impressed. It's awesome to see something like that that's so inspirational. It's got everyone talking about the game

It's made me want to finish DMC3 again Hard mode...if I survive the ass-kicking then it's DMD time after that!
