Crunching Numbers and Skulls ~ Fighting Game Theory #2 - Dantes 40+ Special Moves - 3 of 40+

After some delay I give you the third edition of Dante's Move List. The prior chapters can be found  here and here with the full explanation for what this is in the first iteration.  I'd feel worse about my slow updates but I don't expect anyone out there is hanging onto my words here.  In this chapter we move on to the third from the top of his official move list and most excitingly, to me at least, we're adding a new button.  It is pretty special that I've already covered two whole moves yet only one command input, oh Dante you rebel you.

Down, Down-Towards, Towards + Medium nets you Dante's Crystal attack.  He'll briefly wind up, giving time to cancel into the next move, then strike downwards which causes four large pillars of ice to fan out from directly in front of Dante; the first is vertical thrusting straight upwards while each of the subsequent pillars of ice come out one after another in a fan like motion, so each at a gradually greater angle until the fourth comes out almost parallel to the ground, basically creating a huge semi-circle of damaging ice.
