Actually, there's something I'd like to add.

Say, Samus is going to use her screw attack. A Spinning attack, which will most likely be stopped if Dante uses his Rolling Blaze in Ifrits (Invincible, can stop almost every move in DMC with correct timing). After he has break the move, he can freeze time, and then use either Ifrit Combos or,

in DMC 2 style, equip Chrono Heart, Frost Heart, Quick Heart and trigger Devil Mode. (Triggering Devil Mode with Chrono Heart will result in Time Freeze) Then he can use the even more powerful Combos in Devil Mode.

P.S. Rolling Blaze is just a normal move in Ifrit and it requires no energy at all.
