Dante's Angelic Boost

[Asdtgh]

I know we all hate his ungrateful, lazy, dirty, unholy and uneeded attitude and his uneeded smoking, flashing and dirt talking but, I feel that we are all missing out that he has a very decent feat that may include to his speed.

And, I don't think, in mission 15, he can do any bullet timing feats since he can't have Kat's heavily wounded body, as a regular human, rocking around by someone moving faster than Mach 2.

 

[Asdtgh]

Anyone?

 

[Gemmysaur]

Can you post a clip or something? I only vaguely remember speedfeats of the game but I can't be bothered to play through it again.

 

[Asdtgh]

What about cinematic? Is that considered canon?

 

[Gemmysaur]

It's better than gameplay so go ahead.

 

[Asdtgh]

Okay, remember that one masked dude with the dual blades who you fight in one of the levels? Yeah, he can block bullets from Dante's Ebony and Ivory by swinging them. So, I was thinking that if Dante were to beat him, he needs his combat speed to be quick enough to keep up with him. The same goes for Vergil if he needs to damage him as well. I'm guessing at least Transonic combat speed or something.

Now, the reason why he should get that upgrade is because the flaw of whatever the cutscene about the SWATs shooting at his back is maybe because he does not want Kat to have her wounds becoming worse as he move around in Mach 2 combat speed with her body in his hand. She is wounded and human so, there's that flaw.

Another thing is in the cinematic about that one very stupid trailer of Dante, smoking a cigar. His Angel Boost thing in one part allows him to shatter glass just by zipping through a hallway. That's that.

 

[Asdtgh]

Also, it's multiple SWAT dudes with multiple automatic assault rifles.

 

[Asdtgh]

Anyone?

 

[Asdtgh]

Bump?

Been busy lately but in the Mundus fight he did use an Angelic Boost to dash away from an explosion as it happens. Should be left in the Kirito vs Dante DB of mine in one of the recent comments. And I agree. Donte is overhated. If you disregard him as actually being an attempt to reboot Dante he's a so-so character. A bad character, but he does get better in the end.

 

[Asdtgh]

Woah, there! He really dash away from an explosion?! Hold on, I'll see that fight right now. And, I agree. He does get hated for his characteristic but, in a second game(if there ever happens to be), I think the first was somewhat his origin and he's a cool dude, just...horrible in taste for clothes.

 

[Gemmysaur]

just...horrible in taste for clothes.

Donte's rather casual clothing-wise, as opposed to original!Dante who dresses to kill figuratively and literally.

 

[Asdtgh]

Meh, I prefer no nudity and flashing to girls and stick with abs and red coat.

 

[Asdtgh]

So, can this go for Dante's supersonic combat speed as well and short burst for Angel Boost?

 

[TheMightyRegulator]

Dante should logically be no weaker than the enemies he defeats and if he really did escape an explosion I think the Supersonic speed upgrade is advisable.

 

[Asdtgh]

I mean, he did shatter glass just by passsing by them with Angel Boost so, yeah.

 

[Asdtgh]

So, we can put supersonic combat speed and higher short-burst speed with Angel Boost?

 

[Gemmysaur]

Probably, yeah but I'd rather we put unknown on Angel Boost unless we have explicit feats that show he can outfly something.

 

[Asdtgh]

How about what COB said? You know, the self-explosion by Mundus after he was slashed and Dante reached out for Vergil?

 

[Gemmysaur]

I don't remember that part and I don't have much time to play around so I can't get around to redoing it. Hence, I can't comment on that. Maybe if I can find a playthrough on youtube or something.

[Gemmysaur]

I don't think so. It looked to me like he was freefalling after his slash to Mundus. It even looked to me like he even got a boost in his fall (after grabbing Vergil) when Mundus blew up as he (they) got pushed by the shockwave.

 

[Asdtgh]

Well, doesn't matter. At least his speed should be fixed instead of only reactions.
