I am a Vergil main and i played nero a lot, ive never touched dante before because he seemed to complicated and boring for me… today, after i watched this video, i tried to maybe understand him, see if he is really hard and after 2 hours, ive managed to learn so much, i am actually surprised like i didn’t know that its actually not so hard! Your guide is fucing awesome bro, very good video! Definitely one of the best guides I’ve ever seen to a video game (maybe even the best)
I just started the game and Dante being my favorite character but also the hardest to play, I watched a lot of tutorials. Yours is the best by far. You are a very good teacher thank you.
Appreciate the time you put into this video. Been playing since 4 released. Going back to the beginning and playing from 1 helped me get some concepts better. The breakdown of "try this 5 times" has upped my reflexes and response time.
Cheers for this. I've played 40 hours of this and there's still more to learn to master the legendary demon hunter himself. I reaaaaally hope Capcom makes devil may cry 6 (probably by 2025/26), especially since DMC5 sold 6.5 million units, which is a commercial success!
I don't know if you'll ever read this comment bro but this is the best Dante guide on RUclips hands down. I've never really played any dmc game before dmc5. I always saw people do crazy combos so i decided to play it coz I'm into fighting games. At first Nero was suuuper hard for me to play but i watched some guides and practiced in the void so i got to understand how he works. I was hype for Dante until i actually played him and saw that he has multiple melee and ranged weapons together with 4 stances. I was ready to quit. When i was watching this video you would constantly mix your high level combos and a simpler version to help us understand the concept. Not to mention the constant encouragement 😂. Dante is now my favorite character to play right now. Thank you very much brother
thank you so much for this, every other tutorial expects you to understand them when they’re explaining something basic and then showing you an insane combo
I know I'm super late to this party, but thank you for this tutorial, best one out there. I gave up on Dante long ago, but this tutorial really makes his stylish combos digestible and doable. TY!
This is THE GUIDE, I've always wanted to start doing combos but always felt there were so many steps in between that no one explained that it was actually tiring to research stuff
Man the fact that you go Y to A so quickly is insane. I'm playing on PS4 and I can't do that at all, I bind attack to square so I can have them adjacent for JCs
thanks for watching the video. i hope it helps. but one thing you got wrong bro. you go from X to triangle. not the other way around. and i don't mean go light speed X to triangle :D i'm just saying try inputting an attack STRAIGHT after a jc. although some attacks you have to time them (some attacks)
This is by far one of the best guides I have seen on this game. If you can make a Vergil tutorial like this one I would be ecstatic because I can’t find anything about him online.
@@ExtremeGameplays1 don’t worry about it this guide is really good. If u don’t mind me asking is their any channels or videos you would recommend for Vergil?
DMC 5 was one of the first DMC games I've ever played, and IMO, I am doing crazy stuff with my starters, but have no idea how to fill up my combos, probably should use more gunslinger stuff since I almost never use it. I also see DT a lot in combo videos, it actually opens up so much possibilities and routes in combos, sad that you didn't cover it. Other than that, your guide was incredible and one of the most helpful guides I've ever seen.
Top tier tutorial. Watched it months ago and gave up, came back now and pushed through each lesson. Ive got the basics down now and im playing much better all thanks to you, cheers!
Ok i'll save this video in my playlist, this tutorial is very well made, thank you! Hope i'll get better at dmc5 and maybe also 4, i've been watching Donguri's videos for a long time and i want to be at his level....
Maaaan i hope this helps! Hold lemme get you THE BEST video to learn dmc4! This guy right here 2bepower has the BEST dante guide ever! My video is heavily inspired by his video! ruclips.net/video/Wh1nKT8G0Ro/видео.html
Goodness. I was so bad at the game only using royal guard and DSD (Devil sword dante) and spamming stinger, now I can pretty much do anything I want. THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU DESERVE A SUB
I watched half of the video only yesterday and now after 2 hours practice I improved alot now am doing combo’s in the air without falling nonstop i am a good DMC player as i have all achievements for all DMC including the reboot but your video take me to the next level thanks 🙏 bro your video need more appreciation I can’t thank you enough
Surely the best tutorial on youtube. I aporeciate you bro. Something about dmc its like the only game where u can have this much fun litteraly just competing with yourself lol.
hey i am new in this dmc5!!! The game has been completed once, btw I'm using a PC (mouse and keyboard). rn, I work really hard to play properly and in a cool way!!! then i found this guide, it really helps! lets see 1 year after i posted this comment!!! I hope I don't give up and stop playing. wish me luck boisss xd
Man thank you so much, I've been seeing a lot of dmc5 edits thinking i could never come close to the level of combos and mechanical mastery shown in them, but this tutorial proved me wrong very well explained and put together, thanks again!
I just wanted to say thank you. As a long time fan of the series 5 is the only one I haven't 100%'d and thanks to your help with a little practice I may finally be able to fix that. This video is underrated. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us scrubs. ;)
@@ExtremeGameplays1 Just an update, I finally beat DMC5 on both hell and hell, and beat the bloody palace mode last month. Couldn't have done it alone bro. Thanks again. :) I can finally say I've beaten every DMC in every difficulty. ^_^
a tip for PlayStation players: if your struggling to switch styles I find using the claw for controllers help a lot. It makes it so you can still use the joystick while switching styles
@@ExtremeGameplays1 Most guides for DMC are pretty basic and useless after SOS. They don't talk about guard cancelling, continuing combos, or positioning etc. It's a shame that RUclips shows those videos first. This video should be reaching more people so that we can have more stylish devil hunters. Great work with this video
the key factor with dante is that you have to be precise and fast with your buttons. style switching, weapon switching, attacking... all in quickly one after another or at the same time
"After you nail that you have to learn how to do a double weapon swap which is considered harder because it is actually harder" was the funniest thing I've heard in ages. The guide is great though soon I will hopefully be able to play as "lore-accurate Dante".
@@ExtremeGameplays1 havent watched all off the video but from what i can see you are really experienced like no damage play experienced and i see you are using trickster air dashes in your combos so i have a feeling i learn something
this is the most in depth tutorial I've ever seen for Dante but unfortunately I am still struggling since I use mouse and keyboard but I am a lot better so thanks. any tips for m&k will be appreciated from anyone if they see this comment.
@@ExtremeGameplays1 yeah hope so, the worst thing about mouse and keyboard is that you have to take your fingers off the WASD buttons to weapon switch, where in controller you don't since they are in the triggers etc..
My man, I watched your video and practiced quite a bit with your instructions and mixed them up with my playstyle. Because of that, I managed to finally clear Bloody Palace with Dante! It was such an emotion ride because I've been trying to clear it for a week. Just wanted to say thank you, and you're planning on making a guide for the rest of them, by all means, it would be just as amazing (well not just as amazing coz Dante lol).
Hahaaa that's what i wanna see! I'M REALLY HAPPY IT HELPED BRO And sorry but no guide for the other characters :( I'm good at playing nero and vergil. But as good as DANTE
Genuinely curious how many people learned how to play these games without YT help. Never tried my hardest on game and got no where than on DMC V(which is apparently the easy one right?). DMC players are a whole new level of gamers.
It is simply learning the concept of jump cancelling. You can get creative from there, or get inspired by watching someone else come up with something. Then you learn to mix some of their play style with your own. Eventually you mix up SO many styles of play that it is unrecognizable.
Halfway through on lesson 5. Been at it for like 2 weeks on and off. You get better without even realizing it following this guide. The things I’m able to do free styling surprise me now
Dang just the jump cancel part was exactly what I was looking for even as a Vergil player. Hoping to tackle Dante next once I master his brother. Knew this was a goated tutorial from just that can’t wait for something this in depth on Vergil.
i was like "damn i like dante gameplay, i wanna see what pros do" and after seeing alot of cool asf combos, and checking all guides.. ur one look the best, simple, like talking to friend that can say what he doing, thanks for it early, it gonna be long long story, challange i always needed(also i kinda dislike that pc combos 3x harder than controllers, but who need easy ways?)
This was the best guide for Dmc5 i have ever watched. After only 3 Hours of following along with it i was abel to elevate my Dante gameplay to new heights, I never thought i would be abel to attain and have also reached a new level a enjoyment in this game. For that i would like to thank you.
Seriously, I am feeling hopeless as a new player in DMC5, I watch this just because I need to know how to do combos, but damn this is a whole lecture book came straight from this chad. Thank you, this gave me hope to be better.
This is just the first couple of steps. It's more a guide about how to 'hang in there'. Eventually, you'll be so comfortable with the controls, you start crafting your own approaches and combos. You'll start problem solving with Dante in no time. I believe in you.
Good stuff man! I can more or less do most of the tech shown, just struggling with triple weapon switching and using trickster dash in the air rather than Air Trick. And I still mess up the rose timing somehow lol. That simple combo towards the end looked doable but also really cool! I think you're a really good player, and your style reminds me a lot of SmvR with all the jump cancels.
Ayee man i'm glad this video is still helping people out! I hope you turn into dongurii in the matter of a week! Triple weapon swapping depends on your loadout weapons replacement. When you get it all down. You kinda memorize what comes after the weapon that you're holding. ALSO REMEMBER. You can swap enemies mid animations of the first weapon. So for example if you do a revolver with the cerberus. THE MOMENT the cerberus animation starts. That's when you swap your weapon. So that you can jump cancel with ease and start your next attack. Also let me make the trickster dash easier for you. If you want to dash towords the enemy. All you do is lock on + style button No need to use the left analog stick. Dante automatically starts facing the enemy and dashes towords him.
@@ExtremeGameplays1 yup, learned that from watching your video :) I usually swap weapon in between animations either way (especially from Cavaliere R and KC). I don't usually use Trickster dash because for some reason my hand always tries to do an Air or Ground trick lol. It may depend on my Weapon loadout as well. Usually I use DSD, Balrog, KC and Cavaliere R because this order clicks with my style, while for the guns I go E&I, Coyote, Kalina Ann and Faust. I actually posted some combos on the DMC Subreddit, and even though they were not the best I still think I improved. Especially because now I try to implement the Sword Formation more rather than just using Roundtrips :) Thanks again for the help :D
@@ExtremeGameplays1 thanks again! If only mission 10 had a normal ranking system I would play it more, it's really cool but it's frustrating having to use some style farming tactics to keep the S at the end of the mission. Mission 11 on the other hand is really fun! I just need to get my timing on the parries against Cavaliere Angelo down :)
@@christheplayer99 yeah the ranking system is busted in mission 10 (but i still play it cuz the mission is generally fun. You fight some good diverse enemies)
I love this guide sm i just recently started the game and i never knew that i could dash in the air without the analog stick this video has been helpful love your content btw
Uncovered this video 2 years later, and I finally feel like I can improve with Dante. I'm very good with Vergil and okay with Nero, but I was the worst at Dante. Learning is going pretty well so far, but I'm struggling to get consistent at the sword formation to Cerberus/balrog combo. Other than that I feel like this video will help me out a ton in the near future. Thank you so much.
I am still a noob, but my advice is to memorize each one of Dante’s moves. If not all, then the bread and butter ones, like revolver and aerial rave. Makes it easier to do jump cancelling when you know how to do the move instead of scrambling to button mash. I am already better by just remembering that Balrog’s kick aerial is in swordmaster and blow aerial is the normal combo. I just straight up spammed jump and style button before without knowing which mode I was in or what move I was doing.
I was hitting a wall with my gameplay coming off of SoS mode and into DMD. I started to get annoyed with not keeping my combos consistent or getting lost in my options. This gave me the fire back, now I'm realizing so much of what I was doing wrong, so thanks~ Also, can we talk about how Dante is actually playing DDR with his stances more than we're actually fighting the enemies? xD I love it
Also side note: If you folks have any macro buttons on your controllers, or you're using the Power A Xbox One controller specifically... Just set one of the macros to Gun and you can leave your controls alone. I hate changing controls too much if I can help it, and that saved me from changing a thing and it's easy on the hands compared to claw grip
@@ExtremeGameplays1 Hugely, my guy. I went from almost setting the game down to fiending for more when I get off work. Consistent S ranks when I'm not doing too much, and I was watching guides before but yours just clicked way easy.
i decided to leave my comfort zone (playing nero) to learn dante. im having hard time to understand him since he has 8 total different weapon and 4 styles which may be too much for me, but im willing to learn. So here i am, watching this. Ty random guy on the internet, hope you have a good day
@@ExtremeGameplays1 18/8/20022 (update) - 1.so i've tried to remember all of abilities, still had trouble of not using all of em but i can do it easily. 2. I can now jump cancel a lot but sometimes forget completely when im in too much hurry (where i spam trickster) 3. still learning royal guard, had a difficult timing on royal block and royal release. 4. still panicking choosing range weapon and still practicing gunslinger on combo. 5.Still slow on switching styles and sometimes misspressed the input. so yea👍
@@aRoyz for the royal guard. If you wanna perfect guard every attack easily. Jump and press the style button immediately! Works like wonders for very and other bosses
YO bro tysm this tutorial helperd me sm especially in these 4 days of practicing. I've commented this to confirm you that your tutorial is Hella helpful for starters, am a vergil main n this shit is dope af
Bro i watched your video on my first time playing dmc5 and now i gotta come back because my dumbass cant remember shit of what you showed us here 😂 great video perfectly explain and love the thumbnail now i gotta go back and play every dmc now
Thanks so much for this video. Just watching the very first part about jump canceling I got ideas for new combos and I practiced all day. Looking forward to trying the rest of the lessons.
Thanks for the tutorial man! I first mained Nero then went to Vergil and now I find Dante the most fun lol Also I got a question, should I use the Turbo Mode mod? I've been using it for a small bit but it kinda feels weird.
I already platinumed the game after years of trying, but watching this video opened my eyes that air mobility isn’t just for combo mads. I’ll try to use trickster to pistols to cavalier in my gameplay next time
second day learning dante: learned how to close distance, how to jump cancel, and some of the small combos you showed, currently at lesson 4 the cavaliere jump cancel timing is much easier than you said it is ima keep updating the comment because why not third day: currently at lesson 6, i am already close to actually becoming good
You're obviously the master here man but after a lot of practicing i feel putting time in Royal guard is the most rewarding element in this game, I'm nowhere near what you can do but i get triple s very often just blocking attacks and using a really basic dsd combo (combo b, i mean the one that the sword goes around him into high time then three hits and down slash into two stingers with style button to cancel the launch) and if i feel comfortable i just add a revolver in the air but the core element is blocking the attacks and doing quick combos to keep the style after you got it.
OMG this is such a good guide. My controller is broken so i can't play yet. Also i like the way you take a father figure with your "trust me" "you're an advanced player now" . It makes me trust myself :D Do you plan to do with the other character ?
Finished my first playthrough today and loved the game. Was pretty much mashing i realise 😅 thanks for the guide. Got the switching styles down and can pull off some slick stuff. The weapon swapping i need to practice more.
Love your guide, really helped me out, and I like how you always tell us “I believe you can do it.” It’s the little things. However, the last combo. Do I have to be at SS already when I start it so I can trigger the quad S transform? That would be my biggest problem outside of training mode
Much appreciated. It's fine to have access to sin DT the easy way (without SSS) JUST to do the combo. It's simply there to help you get used to the combo. Otherwise you can only access sin DT this fast by having SSS style (which will be an easy thing when you get used to stuff).
@@ExtremeGameplays1 Thanks for the reply man. I’ve been stuck on your congratulations combo all day today. I got hella frustrated but I pulled it off maybe 5 times out of like 80 tries. Shit is rough
@@ICE-ing >pulled it off Ayeee. You can alter it however you want when you get used to the game more. The potential for mix-ups in this game is insane.
@@ExtremeGameplays1 you made me love Dante haha. I’m happy with my progress from this video. I feel I end up requiring “muscle memory” to pull off consistently, but then my brain is hard wired to do that combo now, and any deviation my brain panics and fumbles the combo. I guess this just comes with lots of practice? I got about a solid 100 hours in DMCV but willing to put in way more to be stylish. Surprisingly I can jump cancel Cav R quite easily. It’s the only thing that’s easy for me haha
@@ICE-ing >fumbling Keep doing that. You can never step out of your comfort zone until you do. Keep experimenting and watching combo mads by others to get influenced by them. Get inspired by others' play style and then eventually, you'll have YOUR style of play. You'll adore a move no one uses, a juggle no one does, a combo starter few people use, and a finisher a lot would not care for. Always experiment and keep on failing until everything eventually clicks. >jump cancelling Cav R All things with time. Maybe one day you'll start jump cancelling the double kalina ann gunslinger style move RAPIDLY to destroy Cavalier or artemis? Hell, try throttling an enemy to the sky using Cav R's special move by constantly jump cancelling it. The sky is (literally) the limit.
Not sure whether I will have much to learn from this (Though the Firestorm + High Times looks really nice), but what I've seen so far is super well made Fantastic tutorial, I hope it will get some more attention from people
Initially came to this video just to see how good of a tutorial it was and how much I agreed with and came out learning how I can implement Dr. Faust with DSD Sword Master forward. I usually use high times and the neutral DSD Sword Master attack, but rarely the stabs, so I came out learning that that was essentially my weakness. That and not using high times in mid air enough. Hope it makes using Dr. Faust more worth it cuz I swear it can be so situational that I just ditched it for faster switching between guns. I suppose in place of the DSD Sword Master stabs I fired the shotgun instead, which kind of functions similarly, but I’ll try Sword Master as well.
Wow, this video is amazing, so much information. I still need to practice A LOT of these combos/techniques and eventually, after a lot of practice, implement them into me playing normally. Just a question, how long did it take you to reach this skill level? 100 hours? 1000 hours? Thanks.
Thx for the guide im not new in this game but i take some of your moves from this video. Especially im trying to add more swords formation moves to my playstyle
I love how he goes from casually explaining, to comboing it like a damn pro
Ayeee thanks 😂

My man, I watched your video and practiced quite a bit with your instructions and mixed them up with my playstyle. Because of that, I managed to finally clear Bloody Palace with Dante! It was such an emotion ride because I've been trying to clear it for a week. Just wanted to say thank you, and you're planning on making a guide for the rest of them, by all means, it would be just as amazing (well not just as amazing coz Dante lol).
Hahaaa that's what i wanna see! I'M REALLY HAPPY IT HELPED BRO
And sorry but no guide for the other characters :(
I'm good at playing nero and vergil. But as good as DANTE
Genuinely curious how many people learned how to play these games without YT help. Never tried my hardest on game and got no where than on DMC V(which is apparently the easy one right?). DMC players are a whole new level of gamers.
It is simply learning the concept of jump cancelling. You can get creative from there, or get inspired by watching someone else come up with something.
Then you learn to mix some of their play style with your own.
Eventually you mix up SO many styles of play that it is unrecognizable.
Just got back to playing dmc and I don't remember my old combos but this help me a lot at remember thanks man
Hey man you made this game SO MUCH MORE FUN FOR ME THANKYOU SMSMSMSM
Halfway through on lesson 5. Been at it for like 2 weeks on and off. You get better without even realizing it following this guide. The things I’m able to do free styling surprise me now
This video has helped me significant ly, I would be practicing more, but my hands are starting to hurt. Thank you
Yo i'm so glad this helped bro! Hope you get as stylish as you want :)
Dang just the jump cancel part was exactly what I was looking for even as a Vergil player. Hoping to tackle Dante next once I master his brother. Knew this was a goated tutorial from just that can’t wait for something this in depth on Vergil.
Easily the best Dante guide on RUclips.
You made me rediscover DmC with this tuto, thanks a lot
i was like "damn i like dante gameplay, i wanna see what pros do" and after seeing alot of cool asf combos, and checking all guides.. ur one look the best, simple, like talking to friend that can say what he doing, thanks for it early, it gonna be long long story, challange i always needed(also i kinda dislike that pc combos 3x harder than controllers, but who need easy ways?)
This was the best guide for Dmc5 i have ever watched. After only 3 Hours of following along with it i was abel to elevate my Dante gameplay to new heights, I never thought i would be abel to attain and have also reached a new level a enjoyment in this game.
For that i would like to thank you.
I am very glad this video helped you! Have fun and experiment. Craft your own way and play with what makes you satisfied in the game.
i didn't even finish the video but the jump cancel broke my finger lmao
DUDE WHY IS THE OPENING RAP ACTUALLY PRETTY GOOD I'M DYING
:D
Seriously, I am feeling hopeless as a new player in DMC5, I watch this just because I need to know how to do combos, but damn this is a whole lecture book came straight from this chad. Thank you, this gave me hope to be better.
This is just the first couple of steps. It's more a guide about how to 'hang in there'. Eventually, you'll be so comfortable with the controls, you start crafting your own approaches and combos. You'll start problem solving with Dante in no time. I believe in you.
This channel is underrated af
Thanks a lot I’ve watched so many guides yours was the best I hope you do a Nero guide
Glad i could help!
Good stuff man! I can more or less do most of the tech shown, just struggling with triple weapon switching and using trickster dash in the air rather than Air Trick. And I still mess up the rose timing somehow lol.
That simple combo towards the end looked doable but also really cool! I think you're a really good player, and your style reminds me a lot of SmvR with all the jump cancels.
Ayee man i'm glad this video is still helping people out! I hope you turn into dongurii in the matter of a week!
Triple weapon swapping depends on your loadout weapons replacement. When you get it all down. You kinda memorize what comes after the weapon that you're holding.
ALSO REMEMBER. You can swap enemies mid animations of the first weapon. So for example if you do a revolver with the cerberus. THE MOMENT the cerberus animation starts. That's when you swap your weapon. So that you can jump cancel with ease and start your next attack.
Also let me make the trickster dash easier for you. If you want to dash towords the enemy. All you do is lock on + style button
No need to use the left analog stick. Dante automatically starts facing the enemy and dashes towords him.
@@ExtremeGameplays1 yup, learned that from watching your video :)
I usually swap weapon in between animations either way (especially from Cavaliere R and KC). I don't usually use Trickster dash because for some reason my hand always tries to do an Air or Ground trick lol.
It may depend on my Weapon loadout as well. Usually I use DSD, Balrog, KC and Cavaliere R because this order clicks with my style, while for the guns I go E&I, Coyote, Kalina Ann and Faust.
I actually posted some combos on the DMC Subreddit, and even though they were not the best I still think I improved. Especially because now I try to implement the Sword Formation more rather than just using Roundtrips :)
Thanks again for the help :D
@@christheplayer99 that's pretty good! Now all you need is practice.
Try having fun in mission 10 and 11. Those are the best!
@@ExtremeGameplays1 thanks again! If only mission 10 had a normal ranking system I would play it more, it's really cool but it's frustrating having to use some style farming tactics to keep the S at the end of the mission. Mission 11 on the other hand is really fun! I just need to get my timing on the parries against Cavaliere Angelo down :)
@@christheplayer99 yeah the ranking system is busted in mission 10 (but i still play it cuz the mission is generally fun. You fight some good diverse enemies)
Who else thinks Zesty should bring back dmc content
I love this guide sm i just recently started the game and i never knew that i could dash in the air without the analog stick this video has been helpful love your content btw
Uncovered this video 2 years later, and I finally feel like I can improve with Dante. I'm very good with Vergil and okay with Nero, but I was the worst at Dante. Learning is going pretty well so far, but I'm struggling to get consistent at the sword formation to Cerberus/balrog combo. Other than that I feel like this video will help me out a ton in the near future. Thank you so much.
All you need is practice after this video.
@@ExtremeGameplays1 yeah. I'll be unstoppable with Dante.
Man I'm not even halfway into the vid and I'm already starting to build combos off what's shown in the video. Nice vid fr
I am still a noob, but my advice is to memorize each one of Dante’s moves. If not all, then the bread and butter ones, like revolver and aerial rave. Makes it easier to do jump cancelling when you know how to do the move instead of scrambling to button mash. I am already better by just remembering that Balrog’s kick aerial is in swordmaster and blow aerial is the normal combo. I just straight up spammed jump and style button before without knowing which mode I was in or what move I was doing.
so good that I bookmarked this video
Hope it helped
I was hitting a wall with my gameplay coming off of SoS mode and into DMD. I started to get annoyed with not keeping my combos consistent or getting lost in my options. This gave me the fire back, now I'm realizing so much of what I was doing wrong, so thanks~
Also, can we talk about how Dante is actually playing DDR with his stances more than we're actually fighting the enemies? xD I love it
Also side note: If you folks have any macro buttons on your controllers, or you're using the Power A Xbox One controller specifically... Just set one of the macros to Gun and you can leave your controls alone. I hate changing controls too much if I can help it, and that saved me from changing a thing and it's easy on the hands compared to claw grip
I'm glad this helped bro :)
@@ExtremeGameplays1 Hugely, my guy. I went from almost setting the game down to fiending for more when I get off work. Consistent S ranks when I'm not doing too much, and I was watching guides before but yours just clicked way easy.
@@Jardonius Ayee man i'm really glad it helped THIS MUCH YO :D KEEP PRACTICING YOU'RE DA BEST
you leveled up my dante
Lets goooo
i decided to leave my comfort zone (playing nero) to learn dante. im having hard time to understand him since he has 8 total different weapon and 4 styles which may be too much for me, but im willing to learn. So here i am, watching this. Ty random guy on the internet, hope you have a good day
Hope you learn'em cuz once you do. You can't go back
@@ExtremeGameplays1 18/8/20022 (update) - 1.so i've tried to remember all of abilities, still had trouble of not using all of em but i can do it easily. 2. I can now jump cancel a lot but sometimes forget completely when im in too much hurry (where i spam trickster) 3. still learning royal guard, had a difficult timing on royal block and royal release. 4. still panicking choosing range weapon and still practicing gunslinger on combo. 5.Still slow on switching styles and sometimes misspressed the input. so yea👍
@@aRoyz for the royal guard. If you wanna perfect guard every attack easily. Jump and press the style button immediately! Works like wonders for very and other bosses
Never thought I would see an Iraqi pro in dmc , amazing guide btw
What an Interesting,
Powerful and Didactic video for DMC players.
Greate Job
Thanks yo!
your guide has helped me alot even tho this guide is almost 1 year old, it still helped really. Tysm for this.
YO bro tysm this tutorial helperd me sm especially in these 4 days of practicing. I've commented this to confirm you that your tutorial is Hella helpful for starters, am a vergil main n this shit is dope af
Bro i watched your video on my first time playing dmc5 and now i gotta come back because my dumbass cant remember shit of what you showed us here 😂 great video perfectly explain and love the thumbnail now i gotta go back and play every dmc now
Playing Dante is like listening to Subhuman, you have to give him time to grow in you XD
It’s amazing how much of this stuff is never really explained. I pretty much had to figure it out on my own.
God I can't wait to finally get my hands on this game this Christmas. I'm absolutely crazy about it!
Thanks so much for this video. Just watching the very first part about jump canceling I got ideas for new combos and I practiced all day. Looking forward to trying the rest of the lessons.
Ayeeee. Glad i helped.
Thanks for the tutorial man! I first mained Nero then went to Vergil and now I find Dante the most fun lol
Also I got a question, should I use the Turbo Mode mod? I've been using it for a small bit but it kinda feels weird.
Glad i can help man!
You must first feel comfortable with the mechanics of the character completely, and maybe THEN activate turbo mode.
I thought I never could play as Dante properly but thanks to you I’m getting there tks
I already platinumed the game after years of trying, but watching this video opened my eyes that air mobility isn’t just for combo mads. I’ll try to use trickster to pistols to cavalier in my gameplay next time
Keeping the jump buton on a bumper makes jup canceling alot more comfortable
Air stalling with Ebony and Ivory is very important too.
that redline cancel looked clean. smooth combos bro
second day learning dante:
learned how to close distance, how to jump cancel, and some of the small combos you showed, currently at lesson 4
the cavaliere jump cancel timing is much easier than you said it is
ima keep updating the comment because why not
third day: currently at lesson 6, i am already close to actually becoming good
You're obviously the master here man but after a lot of practicing i feel putting time in Royal guard is the most rewarding element in this game, I'm nowhere near what you can do but i get triple s very often just blocking attacks and using a really basic dsd combo (combo b, i mean the one that the sword goes around him into high time then three hits and down slash into two stingers with style button to cancel the launch) and if i feel comfortable i just add a revolver in the air but the core element is blocking the attacks and doing quick combos to keep the style after you got it.
Do whatever makes you have fun. This is a guide to the ultimate experience in MY view :)
If you enjoy your time royal guarding. Just keep doing it bro
@@ExtremeGameplays1 i love your mindset! Guess I'm doing it the lazy way lol
Holy shiiiiit, this helped so much broo, great explaining. Absolutely loved it thxx
OMG this is such a good guide. My controller is broken so i can't play yet.
Also i like the way you take a father figure with your "trust me" "you're an advanced player now" . It makes me trust myself :D
Do you plan to do with the other character ?
haha bro what father figure 😂😂 i really hope this helps yo!
and nothing for other characters, sorry. the others i'm good at but not DANTE good.
Finished my first playthrough today and loved the game. Was pretty much mashing i realise 😅 thanks for the guide. Got the switching styles down and can pull off some slick stuff. The weapon swapping i need to practice more.
Love your guide, really helped me out, and I like how you always tell us “I believe you can do it.” It’s the little things.
However, the last combo. Do I have to be at SS already when I start it so I can trigger the quad S transform? That would be my biggest problem outside of training mode
Much appreciated.
It's fine to have access to sin DT the easy way (without SSS) JUST to do the combo. It's simply there to help you get used to the combo.
Otherwise you can only access sin DT this fast by having SSS style (which will be an easy thing when you get used to stuff).
@@ExtremeGameplays1 Thanks for the reply man. I’ve been stuck on your congratulations combo all day today. I got hella frustrated but I pulled it off maybe 5 times out of like 80 tries. Shit is rough
@@ICE-ing >pulled it off
Ayeee.
You can alter it however you want when you get used to the game more. The potential for mix-ups in this game is insane.
@@ExtremeGameplays1 you made me love Dante haha. I’m happy with my progress from this video. I feel I end up requiring “muscle memory” to pull off consistently, but then my brain is hard wired to do that combo now, and any deviation my brain panics and fumbles the combo. I guess this just comes with lots of practice? I got about a solid 100 hours in DMCV but willing to put in way more to be stylish.
Surprisingly I can jump cancel Cav R quite easily. It’s the only thing that’s easy for me haha
@@ICE-ing >fumbling
Keep doing that. You can never step out of your comfort zone until you do. Keep experimenting and watching combo mads by others to get influenced by them. Get inspired by others' play style and then eventually, you'll have YOUR style of play. You'll adore a move no one uses, a juggle no one does, a combo starter few people use, and a finisher a lot would not care for.
Always experiment and keep on failing until everything eventually clicks.
>jump cancelling Cav R
All things with time. Maybe one day you'll start jump cancelling the double kalina ann gunslinger style move RAPIDLY to destroy Cavalier or artemis?
Hell, try throttling an enemy to the sky using Cav R's special move by constantly jump cancelling it.
The sky is (literally) the limit.
Not sure whether I will have much to learn from this (Though the Firestorm + High Times looks really nice), but what I've seen so far is super well made
Fantastic tutorial, I hope it will get some more attention from people
Thank you so much, man! I hope it helps
bro im finally good at dante thanks to this
i still need to learn to freestyle better w him, but i think that's just something i gotta practice for
Bro i'm soooo glad this helped. I think you're set. All you need is practice :)
Oh the intro rap u ate that 💯 👌
Wow dude one of the best tutorial videos I've ever seen. Thank you and keep up the good work 🤙
Initially came to this video just to see how good of a tutorial it was and how much I agreed with and came out learning how I can implement Dr. Faust with DSD Sword Master forward. I usually use high times and the neutral DSD Sword Master attack, but rarely the stabs, so I came out learning that that was essentially my weakness. That and not using high times in mid air enough. Hope it makes using Dr. Faust more worth it cuz I swear it can be so situational that I just ditched it for faster switching between guns. I suppose in place of the DSD Sword Master stabs I fired the shotgun instead, which kind of functions similarly, but I’ll try Sword Master as well.
Wow, this video is amazing, so much information. I still need to practice A LOT of these combos/techniques and eventually, after a lot of practice, implement them into me playing normally. Just a question, how long did it take you to reach this skill level? 100 hours? 1000 hours? Thanks.
Hope you go pro in this awesome game man!
Idk how long it took me sorry :D i just KEPT playing!
Guys remember: The more you play dante the better you get with him playing with him for an hour makes a significant difference
Thanks for the amazing guide plus I didn’t know you were good at dmc5 as well as gow keep up the great content
Very comprehensive guide! Thanks for this breakdown 😁
You're welcome man! Glad i helped!
I miss the old stylish Zesty. Style over challange runs any day.
Thank you man. I hope you do other 1 hr in depth tutorials for Virgil and Nero as well, also GOW 2018
Soon bro :) soon
Thx for the guide im not new in this game but i take some of your moves from this video. Especially im trying to add more swords formation moves to my playstyle
Glad i could help :)
I'm no noob but I'll watch this for my own mental health lol
