Devil May Cry 4 Walkthrough - 01 - Birds of a Feather
This mission isn't rough at all. If you're new or have tutorials set to ON, the game will have Dante spar with you a bit and you will learn the basics of attacking and dodging.
Boss: Dante
The actual battle and ranking time starts up when Dante's life bar appears. If this is your first time playing, you won't have much in the way of in game skills or attacks. Just do what you can. Keep moving, and when you see him do things from the tutorial, dodge accordingly with rolls, though I think jumps are best for everything but his helm splitter, which is an overhead air sword attack. When he taunts, gets into a corner, or if you get a rare window of opprotunity to hit his back after his misses with a stinger (dash sword attack), unleash a three or four hit combo and hop away. Taunt here and there, in close, and destroy all the benches for orbs. If you get a lucky shot at using the Buster on him in close, you can see a cool sword fight sequence and you'll push him away and he loses lots of health. If you get him in the air he'll lose a fair amount as well. Slam dunk! Try to finish this within 2 minutes if possible, and you will likely get an S rank if you got the orbs and C style.
If this is your second time through, you can finish this quickly by using devil trigger mode, snatching with the arm, and using DT Buster moves to slam Dante over and over into the ground.
He likes to shoot in two random patterns rapidly, block you bullets (cool huh?) with bullets of his own, rush in for a stab, do a three or four hit combo, air attack to slam into the ground, taunt, and dodge alot. None of these attacks should kill you, but if you are in the fight with him for longer than 3 minutes and you consistently get hit it will add up.
