Modifying the basic midscreen BnB for use in the corner. When close to the corner, keep the following things in mind:
- During the Jump Cancel Volcano near the beginning, either neutral jump or jump backwards. Jumping forwards in the corner will cause Dante to be too close to the opponent, and he will not be able to link after Air Play.
- If you do jump forwards by accident, cancel j.5H into Killer Bee (j.236L) instead. This wastes Ground Bounce, but is better than dropping the combo.
- Instead of superjumping immediately after Prop Shredder, you can Tiger Knee cancel into Acid Rain, which will hit on the way up and on the way down, for extra damage. It is actually possible to Acid Rain twice in a row here, linking into itself before jumping up to continue the combo, but harder to do.
- Midscreen, Dante basically always wants to knock opponents down with Hammer, to avoid knocking the opponent too far away. In the corner, it doesn't matter, so you can use j.5S instead. They do identical damage.
- Instead of simply doing Volcano > Beehive and linking into itself at the end of the combo, you can use Stinger Bold Canceled into Volcano as long as you are in the corner, for a bit of extra damage.

Video Timestamp Basic confirm off the Hard Knockdown caused by raw Hammer or raw j.5S. As with the standard combo, keep in mind you do not need to Bold Cancel Teleport if close to the corner, just Bold Jumping is good enough.

Video Timestamp. Alternate Hard Knockdown confirm. Less damage but more meter build.

Clay Pidgeon Loops
If Dante presses H after using his 5S launcher, he will cancel into Clay Pigeon, an attack where he fires bullets at the launched opponent, juggling them. Normally, if he presses S again during Clay Pidgeon, he will then cancel into Prop Shredder. However, if Dante delays his second S input until Clay Pidgeon is completed, he can use his normal 5S instead. There is a tight timing window where Dante can catch the opponent with a delayed 5S before they fall to the ground, then cancel into Clay Pidgeon again, creating a loop. This is a more advanced Dante combo route, but offers better damage and very good meter build. There are two types of Clay Pidgeon reps - "Max Shot" reps, where you mash H on Clay Pidgeon to get the full eight shots and juggle the opponent higher, and "Min Shot" reps, where you only press H a single time, firing only two shots to minimize scaling and Hitstun Deterioration.
When performing Clay Pidgeon Loops, hold forward on the stick. Dante will use the slight gap between Clay Pidgeon and 5S to step forward, preventing him from being pushed out of range.

X-Factor Combos
Any X-Factor
(Anything xx) 236XX > X-Factor Activation (second-to-last hit), 22S, j.236L~L, land, 623M > M (, 623M > M) xx 236XX
Basic way to secure a kill off any combo ending in Million Dollars. Also useful for getting a kill after sniping an assist with raw Million Dollars.
X-factor Level 3
2L > 5M > 5H > 6H xx X+S~623M jc. j.5H xx j.236M, j.5S, land, 623M jc. j.5H xx j.236M, j.5S, land, short dash, 236M~M, 623M > M, jump, j.5S, etc.
https://youtu.be/bdZthGEfFZA?t=15 Video Timestamp]. Anchor X-Factor combo designed for quick meterless kills. A lot of lower health characters will already be dead by the 236M~M Million Carats, but you can continue the combo for character with higher health if needed.
2L > 5M > 5H > 6H xx X+S~623M jc. j.5H xx j.236M, airdash, j.5H, land, 5M > 5H > 3HH > S sjc. 2369M~M, 236M~M, 236M~M, 623M > M, etc.
Video Timestamp. Alternate X-Factor route vs. big body characters. Looks cool.
