[BS04]

Learn how to jump, hover, and cancel animations in Devil May Cry 4 combat to avoid attacks and raise your style meter.

Tapping the jump button will make a character leap into the air.

Effects of Jumping

Jumping will allow each character to reach high places.

Jumping During Battles

Jumping can allow a character to avoid an oncoming attack while that character is on the ground. If you happen to see an attack coming while you're attacking yourself then jump immediately to cancel your animation from of that attack and avoid the oncoming enemy attack.

Hovering in the Air During a Jump

Certain moves will allow a character to stay up in the air a bit longer than normal. For instance, while playing with Dante, jumping and firing his handguns will allow him to hover in the air for a few brief seconds thereby allowing you to avoid ground based attacks and damage enemies while Dante is suspended in the air.

Jumping Raises Style

Perform a single jump to dodge an enemy attack that can be avoided with a jump and this act will slightly raise the style meter.
