Animation Cancel

====== Animation Cancel ====== Animation cancels are actions/tricks that allow the player to interrupt Dante's recovery animation while he performs a specific attack. This virtually removes the lag between 2 consecutive attack strings and allows you to chain high DPS combos to kill enemies quickly. ===== Applications ===== * **Slash Cancelling** - for killing waves of Marionettes in M1 and loop the first [[dmc1:nelo|Nelo]] encounter (More uses exist, though these are the most common). * **Grenadegun Cancels** - Primary method of DPS. * **Shotgun Twitching** - Usually used in DMD to kill Plasmas fast in M6 and break [[dmc1:mundus|Mundus Spheres]]. * **Menu Cancels** - [[dmc1:nightmare|Nightmare]] fights are very good example of this. Recovering Dante's animation from any attack allows you to instantly access the menu. ===== Video Demonstration ===== * [[youtube>embed/2EZ27MboK9g?autoplay=0&wmode=transparent&start=0|Slash Cancelling]] * [[youtube>embed/R6c8YLvkdyo?autoplay=0&wmode=transparent&start=0|Grenadegun Cancels]] * [[youtube>embed/MPEhK-Rd3Ps?autoplay=0&wmode=transparent&start=0|Shotgun Twitching]] > Credits to Slickford
