Things I've noticed playing DMC4

[VOLPE]

Really? all I did was use a different attack each time he was knocked down. To beat Dante all you have to do is not do the same attacks twice.

For example;

shoot at him, use devil bringer, slam him down.
shoot at him, use streaker, knocked down.
shoot at him, jump, slam sword down, knocked down.
shoot at him, get close enough, combo 2, knocked down.
and repeat.

Hmmm i am finding a lot of helpful hints( using devil bringer on the dice to make it roll the way you want it) and now making sure not to repeat yourself to better fight dante i didnt know that worked i mean i try for variety but he still seems to dodge like a bastard
