Or you can use Stinger and Thousand Cuts with Dante, mash attacks with Nero and spam Swords with Vergil. V kinda can play the same no matter what and get easy style, obviously.

Not only did they give her way more melee attack options with the rest of her weapons, but they also gave her WAY more satisfying and snappy movement options. Both Kalina Ann and her Shotgun can essentially be used as midair Trickster dashes. I really hope that game becomes available worldwide so I can play with her. Or at least make her playable in 5 with these new changes.

    @gatst7680@gatst76803 жыл бұрын
    • One of my favorite aspects about Vergil is, of all the video game characters I've ever played as, he's the only one that genuinely feels like he grows stronger and more powerful with each game he makes a playable appearance in. In most games that follow up a character's journey, the character doesn't really feel much stronger, it just feels like they pile on more weapons and powers while also taking some away. But with Vergil, he mostly has all the same weapons and powers, it's just they get fine tuned and perfected with each new appearance and gets a few new abilities. That's not to say other games or characters don't do this, it just feels more clear with Vergil to me. DMC3SE establishes the base line for his controls and moveset, from the 3 hit combo he keeps in all of his appearances to his iconic Judgement cut which at this point is just as iconic to vergil as the Yamato. It's ultimately a fairly limited moveset, but those limitations encourage creativity in using his abilities and weapons to the best of their ability. DmC may be infamous for just how bad it is especially in story, but it does add things to Vergil that would become staples in his gameplay from here on. Aside from tweaking his overall control a bit and giving him more combos to work with, it also introduces the Perfect Judgement Cut which, while a bit clunky in its first appearance would go on to be one of Vergil's most valuable tools in other appearances. It also introduces the embedded sword mechanic and giving Vergil doppelganger which he would bring back in 5. And for all the crap DmC understandably gets, it is to this day the only game to give Vergil a proper campaign. Not much of a campaign, but still, it's something. DMC4SE is where Vergil really started breaking the games he appears in. That's not to say he wasn't cool before, he was just a bit more balanced in 3 and DmC, but here, he just snaps the game in half. Aside from once again improving his controls, this game perfected the perfect judgement cut, gave his summoned swords a bit more utility, and introduced us to the concentration gauge which is just the perfect way to incorporate Vergil's character into his gameplay. It also gave us Judgement Cut End which just gives the finger to any enemy in Vergil's way. And finally, DMC5 perfected Vergil's control. From the amazing combos that make each weapon feel like an entire moveset on its own, to the ability to use three perfect judgement cuts back to back, to his little teleport dodges which are the perfect flexing tool for finessing demons, to Judgement Cut End somehow being even cooler along with three other super moves that just obliterate whatever fool stands before you, to having one of the coolest looking Devil Triggers in the series. This Vergil is for people who want to feel like a god among men, he just erases anyone that gets in his path, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Playing each of these appearances one after another gives you this feeling like you're actually watching Vergil's journey for power and seeing him go from just a badass swordsman, to one of the most broken videogame characters ever in the context of their own game, and whether you're the one in control or the one at the other end of his sword, you will remember the power of this motivated son of Sparda

  • Isn't it implied the Virgil was Sparta's favorite, while Dante was probably closer to Eva. Not that either neglected the other but Virgil is given a sword with the power to separate the human world and demon world. Virgil also was definitely the strongest and more driven out of the two siblings to live up to their fathers legacy. if life played out I have little doubt that Vergil would have been Sparta's successor over Dante.

    • A lot of people have made the DMC Reboot canon in their own way, by either having DMC Dante be attempting to copy mainline Dante, or by it occurring in a parallel reality. After all, the MvC games, and Street Fighter 5 have shown that Capcom has a massive gaming universe/multiverse. I'd love it if reboot Dante got re-introduced to the mainline series. Obviously his name would need to change, but that could simply be him using a pseudonym. Maybe reboot Dante would go by Tony Redgrave (like mainline Dante did in his early years)

In the Bloody Palace co-op stream on the main DMC channel that was meant to hype up the Switch release, Matt Walker (translating for Itsuno) said that the reason why they did this was so that no one could just blast through the game in a weekend, due to 3 not being very long.

  • Excellent video as always. One small correction though: Dante's royal guard in 5SE is always clearly telegraphed. When he's knocked away after a combo, he'd flash red, say "Royal Guard," and begin slowly walking toward you instead of running or teleporting. Then and only then does he use royal guard, so that's your cue to stop attacking and let him approach. And even if you accidentally attack him when he's in RG stance, his reflect can still be dodged with a timed trick dodge. It's such a good boss fight man

I see Dante as having fun and not really trying so he is playing with his food and styling while going through the story where as Vergil is about ruthless efficiency so he isn’t messing around while going through the story. Dante could break game like Vergil if he wanted to but that wouldn’t be as fun.

  • Two small things to mention about your segment of DMC5 SE 1. Vergil's Trick Dodge has longer recovery and gaps in i-frames by default, BUT if you time the dodge just before an attack hits, Vergil can chain multiple Trick Dodges with no gaps in i-frames, much like Nero's Table Hopper. Except unlike Nero, Vergil can chain as many dodges as he wants lol. Great for building Concentration and DT as well. 2. When fighting him as Vergil, Dante counterattacks with Royal Revenge, not Royal Release. And on top of it being possible to dodge the reprisal with good timing, the slowdown when Dante activates Royal Revenge helps telegraph the incoming attack. In some cases, you can even use it to your advantage by deliberately activating Dante's Royal Revenge and attacking after dodging it (though I don't think Dante will be in hitstun).

So, let's just put it like this, Dante may be the game's main character, but goddamn Vergil is the stories main character.

I'm sure we don't need to wait another decade for a video game since DMC5 ended the saga and served as a finale which I'm fine with it ending the series(still no ladies night spin-off game but I guess I can try to be okay with it). The modders had already made PvP and literally everything to make the game look a lot better than Capcom's snarky decision-making, so there's no worries here. Vergil is truly a fan-favourite of the series with his technical gameplay as if you feel like Vergil, and 5 did a great job at that than in 3SE, in my opinion.
