[11] Champion
Not really. I've played a lot of Zeros, since Maryland is full of them, and Xanadu is one of the closest monthlies to my state. At worst, Dante vs. Zero is a 6-4 in Zero's favor. If Dante has Strider or Drones (Moreso Strider because drones can get BLOOOWWWNNNNN UP way too easily), it's 5-5 at worst. Strider has to play pretty carefully against Zero, especially when he's chucking lightning everywhere. But, I've only ever had to fight Zero with my Strider a couple times (because Dante and/or Viper take him out before it comes down to Strider), so I really can't say too much.
Dante is one of the better characters vs Zero because his normals can out range him, but you have to be on point to successfully space that all the time, especially with Zero being able to be anywhere he damn well pleases at any time.
Vajra assist doesn't help that much at all if they are aware you have it. j.H bitch slaps that move away and his lightning or swift 214 dashes just gem him out of that. Nova vs Zero is just a death sentence for Nova.
And i used to run my secondary team vs Zeros specifically because Taskmaster has a much better time against Zero by himself let alone with any assist.
The issue is the Zero's i play are also great, being Sam aka Mihe from Houston (4th at FR this year)and Stone from Dallas or Houston who beats Sam often as well...... so i just take it in the ass and cry.
