Why Vergil Is The Coolest Character In Video Games | Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition

Hello, I have finally made a new video. kzhead.info/sun/q62uis1sj2SBfqs/bejne.html

Vergil is the anti-meme of the "Final Boss when you fight him vs Finals Boss when you unlock him"

The only problem is that they should have renamed his "concentration" gauge to the "Motivation" gauge.

The summoned swords acting like completely detached entities from Vergil is definitely one of my favorite aspects about them. Almost every single aspect of his kit looks like he's barely putting in effort to pull off, and the summoned swords not requiring any gesture or even acknowledgement from Vergil really sells that.

Other game companies: “oh no how will we properly balance him so he doesn’t break the game!!!” Capcom:”what if we make him the coolest most op character ever?”

Vergil is a perfectly fair and balanced character and not overpowered at all

Identical twins look more different the older they get, so Vergil and Dante looking different in 5 makes sense

I actually think Dante & Vergil still look like twins in DMC5, however I theorize that their difference in appearance can be attributed to their vastly differing lifestyle paths, as well as the the distinct and separate environments in the they inhabit. It's quite common for identical twins to look less and less identical as they age.

I'd say Vergil being one of, if not, the coolest character in a video game fits because, in Dante's Inferno, Dante (the writer) also treats Vergil (the poet he really likes which he cast as a secondary character because Dante's Inferno is essentially a self-insert fanfic of the bible) as like, the coolest dude ever.

Vergil also knows what sex is which makes him that much more powerful

Why Vergil Is The Coolest Character In Video Games? Motivation, son.

The primary method of filling the concentration gauge isn't combos. The primary method is _walking menacingly around the enemy._ That's right. It charges up when you walk (i.e. partially deflect stick so you don't run) while locked onto an enemy. Any running stops the charge and missed attacks deplete it. It's basically the gauge showing how cool you are.

Vergil is a man of focus , commitment , and sheer motivation

31 minutes just to try to convince me that Vergil is the coolest? ... Dude, I read the title and I was convinced, just watched the video because curiosity got me motivated...

Fun fact with Yamato. Nearly every time you allow vergil to sheathe the yamato after a combo, You gain extra devil trigger power as a bonus. Plus a great feeling of badassery

Dante and Vergil still do look almost identical It’s a mix of Dante’s beard, their different facial expressions, their different hair and Dante having actually aged that makes them seemingly look different In Dante’s bloody palace ending he changes his hair to Vergil’s hairstyle and he just looks like a bearded Vergil

You've forgotten the coolest aspects! You fill the concentration gauge by playing like him: Standing still, walking slowly, and are punished when missing attacks. If you wait long enough for him to sheathe his sword after doing any combo, he gets a segment of devil trigger. The game rewards you so much playing in his iconic style, I love it

i like how Capcom always have Vergil to be Mr.Special Edition guy always in Special Edition and Always OP and Top tier hahaha love it

Interesting note about DMC5 Vergil, when using his Devil Trigger he states “This is Power”, rather than “I need more Power”

Vergil cemented himself in that position all the way back in DMC 3, bear with me. So throughout DMC 3 we (the players) had the same behavior when it came to the weapons. We get a new one, we try it, we meet a challenge we can't overcome with it, we switch back to our familiar load out and throw down for real. In the second Vergil battle, he starts off using Beowulf exclusively until phase 2. And this is where it happens. He switches to Yamato. In that one action he not only mirrored us, but also acknowledged our skill in tandem with Dante's strength. Despite popping DT and blustering that we aren't worthy, he already showed beyond a doubt. Dante, and by extension the player, ARE worthy as his opponent. All conveyed through gameplay.

Vergil doesn't teleport, he just moves so fast that we aren't able to see him.

You spent 31 minutes talking about how awesome Vergil is and didn't once mention Bury the Light. *Where's your Motivation?*

This is one of the few games that no matter how cheesy the things characters say and do, it's not cringey because the characters have the coolness and badassery to back it up

Vergil inspired me so much that i became vergil now. My life goal is now motivation and getting more more power and also listening to his beautiful song everyday since i heard it for the first time. But tbh, vergil is really the coolest and best character i know and i love the dmc series so much. I wish they make a dmc 6

I also loved V dodging animation, looks so freakin awesome He's actually Vergil so that makes it even cooler

Fun Fact identical twins do develop slight, but noticeable physical differences as they get older. Anything like early injuries or other environmental experiences can cause differences that become much more apparent as they get older. Since Dante and Vergil are like in their 40s in this game it makes sense that they don't look 100% identical anymore.

Seems like Dante holds back to have fun, but Vergil doesn’t, he just gets his point across.

My favourite thing about Vergil is how he entertains Dante. Like in DMC3 Dante spouts gibberish about a party, and rather than shutting him down Vergil just yes ands him saying he was too excited to make preparations for the bash.

The Beowulf special attack is just stupid powerful to where even the bosses go flying up in the air. When I saw that I was convinced Vergil was the coolest video game character

The not-so-identical twins thing actually makes sense. I have two little cousins that are getting more and more easy to identify because of how much they differ from eachother in comparision to when they where younger.

Only game where when the boss becomes a playable character he actually gets stronger instead of weaker

Virgil and Sephiroth have similar vibes and are roughly as iconic as eachother.

He sounds like he's bout to marry Vergil at any cost.

I mean let's be honest... Every guy, if they're honest, is not looking at porn on their phone in the toilet. They're doing every single Buzzfeed "which DMC character are you?" quiz, trying to get Vergil on each one.

I mean dmc5 is about Vergil hiring his son and brother to fight Vergil so Vergil can fuse with Vergil and be reborn as Vergil, special edition just lets you also play as Vergil. And I loved it!

Vergil is so cool and powerful I'm surprised his attacks don't break the 4th wall and hit us in the face.

Love how when he fuses back into one being you can see the giant pieces of shattered reality falling thru the ground 😩😩

Vergil in any other game would be made fun for being too edgy. Especially his song, Bury The Light. Like, that sone has some of the most early 2000's edge I have ever heard. But somehow, it works beautifully. DMC is a series that just says "yeah, we have that dumb teen edge. So fucking what?" And they just RUN with it in the most ridiculous ways to the point where it's truly just awesome.

"Why won't you die?!" "Motivation, son!" ~Vergil probably

i think the reason why i was so mesmerized and pulled into this video commentary was i can relate a lot to the excitement and thrill of playing vergil,just love the character.Its mind boggling how powerful he already is and is like a yin yang persona of Dante and how you can easily see the dynamic the two play like Chaos/Order these two are in constant harmony with each other just two guys who drag everyone into their world because they both are just badass yet the rivalry is ingrained in their blood.

What else can be said? He's just *THE STORM THAT IS APPROACHING* It's just so funny how Capcom was able to create 2 of the greatest and coolest characters of all time in the same game and franchise

On the different character models thing. Dante’s been eating nothing but pizza for the last 40 years and hasn’t taken a shower since before his one month coma in a ditch at least. Vergil was possessed for a few years then spent the next 20 years in hell with his exploded body before violently ripping himself in two and has just recently put his soul back together. Frankly it’s weird how they don’t look even more different.

Getting SSS rank is one of the most satisfying things with vergil

As someone who worked with some really talented guys for porting animations of this absolute unit, i can tell you that he is so fast that sometimes we had to slow down the game to as low as 20% to have an idea of what even happened. 40-50 percentage range is when you begin to get into the "reasonable criteria" where the moves are somewhat comprehensible.

i love it when vergil said "it's motivation time" and motivated all over the screen

This vid felt like 3m instead of 30m. That's how cool Vergil is.

His theme song 'Bury the Light' is enough to convince me that he's that bad ass like damn.

For me, the best thing about Virgil that makes him the best is obviously his theme song.... BORN IN FLAMES, I HAVE BEEN BLESSED, MY FAMILY CREST IS THE DEMON OF DEAAAAAATH!!!!!!!

The reason why people like Vergil despite him only showing in one game is because he’s such an honorable badass character. he lives with his own sense of honor til the very end, which is something extremely rare to find in our world. he doesn’t use gun, he never attack you from behind, he want to fight you fair and square. People says it’s hard to relate with Vergil but I disagree. you don’t have to get your mother killed to understand him. just ask yourself “have I ever been in the situation where I really want power to change the circumstance regardless of control factor ?” Let’s take a look at Vergil. he’s a tortured soul who scarred by the past. always blame himself for everything. his mother died and he blamed himself for not powerful enough to save her. these kind of mindset is indeed, extremely toxic to mental health but instead of sulking, he used it as a driven force. hence the famous line “where’s your motivation ?” that’s why he despises Dante (yet still deeply care for him) for his carefree attitude and try to be different from him. what is Dante fighting for ? is he just do it for the sake of doing it ? you can clearly see Dante being childish, joking around in DMC3. he doesn’t give a shit about anything until Lady slap some sense into him by talking about family. to Vergil, Dante doesn’t seem to care about their mother at all. of course, in our view. we might interpret that he left the past behind because no matter what he does, his mother isn’t going to come back or it’s his way of coping by trying to make fun of everything, to forget the pain. If you think about it. Why Sparda left Yamato, his main weapon and the key of everything that happens in DMCverse to Vergil ? I believe Sparda knows that Vergil represents his pride, honor and determination. Oh, one more thing. human like us, are curiosity animal. our brain loves surprise and reward ourself everytime we see unexpected thing. so, when we see Vergil being such a dork, it brings us a smile. I means.. to think that a very serious & levelheaded character like Vergil love dancing to classic music, being a poetry nerd and goes crazy on violin solo. XD I love Vergil because he’s such a Japanese (As a Japanese myself, I would say “too much ancient Japanese”) and a DILF.

After reading Devil May Cry 5: Visions of V it hits hard some of V’s thoughts about Dante. Especially how he views Dante to be always more superior than him and making him feel like a worthless loser. On a side note, V also encouraged other demonic self to be fuse back into Vergil because Vergil deep down enjoys fighting Dante. He wants to prove his strength to his little brother and “show him no mercy”.

I watched this video a bunch of times before getting DMC 5 on Steam during a Sale..... Now... I have finished DMC 5 using Vergil and I'm still watching this video a bunch of times or when YT recommends it to me. This video is TOO COOL!

They also look different because though they are identical twins given Vergil's circumstances he is physically younger than him in body. When he revived, he came back at a peak age for him. Explains why his face is a lot less weathered and clean looking.

One of my favorite moments with learning this character is when I'm showing him to my friend, who is just now getting it devil May cry and every time he thought I was done explaining what his character could do I would always surprise him with just one more little extra thing that this guy can do. By the time he thought he had figured out everything with the character I showed him the special taunt. I think watching Dante have a dance off with Virgil's doppelganger, was too much for a new fan to take in all at once.

You forgot to mention that Vergil’s Sin Devil Trigger form uses elbow blades, which automatically increases his coolness by 9 points. Plus, they’re made of fire, which adds another 2 points.

13:53 "Like pretty much every attack he does is something you would see in a cutscene, but you can just *do it. In a video game. During gameplay."* that's devil may cry 5 in general, lol. ik what you mean though and i agree 100%

0:40 if you complete the palace mode as Dante, he’ll actually mock Vergil by slicking back his hair and looking like him. As you mentioned it may be because their motion capture actors are different. Also I love how Vergil is both one of the greatest badasses yet also a secret dork. He also says Jackpot and his EX Provocation is the best by a mile. It’s perfect

Vergil with Beowulf: One hit one - broken bone Dante with gloves and shoes: Look at me breakdancing, Vergil! Nero: What the fuck with these two?

This is the most professional and scientific documentary video on any subject every to grace any platform.

I love that he says you can do this stuff with Dante. It's just more difficult HAHAHA because it is.

"If you say cry again - Devil May Cry - fuck" this is perfect

Vergil is one of the very few characters that get much stronger and cooler as a playable character than as an enemy boss it is insane. I recently came back to DMC5 and play as Vergil a lot, practicing and just smacking shit around and the whole time it feels like a final boss fight but it last for the entire game and you are the boss

Dude BURY THE LIGHT!! man. That song just boost your motivation times twenty.

I find it funny how vergil, the character in the divine comedy, was a guide to dante through hell and purgatory.

Thank you for this awesome love letter to my favorite game. You earned a sub and hopefully many more.

Fun fact: using the Yamato and not move canceling and letting him sheath it fully not only gives you a nice sound, it also gives you DT. It literally rewards you for playing calmly, just how Vergil is

10:55 Okay so the reason the Mirage Edge acts so similar to Rebellion is because it's actually just the Force Edge from DMC1 that Vergil got his hands on for a small amount of time in DMC3. Also in Vergil mode in that game you get to use the Force Edge. Now at this point in the story, the Force Edge has become the Devil Sword Sparda which Dante absorbed so that's why it just a glowy version of it. It's like an echo or a "mirage" ;)

1:10 I'm dying :'D I'm sure that's true. You made my day with this video. Thank you!

Espero nos sigan brindando contenido por mucho tiempo, amo tus videos.

The only character who has broken the "When the you unlock the boss as a playable character" trope. Meteorologists wet themselves whenever Vergil is here... _...because he is storm that is approaching._

If only in SE vergil still can do the attack which he turn into a jet fighter like he did as a boss in dmc5

Judgment Cut alone immediately makes him 10x cooler than most video game characters.

This is still the most unhinged review ive ever seen, i love it!

Man l remember playing dmc 3 for the first time wen l was a kid l thought that dante was the coolest dude for like 20 minutes but then vergil showed up and hes designe alone made me go yep thats the coolest dude in all of midia And then l discovered that he used swords insted of guns and l was like this charecter was made for me.

I love this man's voice and passion for Vergil, this is great

I LOVE THIS VIDEO your commentary is amazing, its informative funny and entertaining Love it, sub

I love your hilarious style of narration. Please make more videos

Hell on earth is the best super move. At least to me and that "Shockwave" is actually a Supernova. You know the ones suns make and it's so powerful that it sends bosses flying in the air. With the exceptions of Nidhogg, Gilgamesh, King Cerberus, and Urizen(s).

Vergil is the epitome of cool and fun hack'n slash play style that the Dynasty Warrior franchise tries to achieve, but fails miserably.

you are the reason i played dmc5 special edition, dont regret it

This was hilariously fun to listen to bro. Thank you

Vergil and dante are cool in different ways, so it's wrong to compare them. The point of dante's fighting style is to humiliate his enemy as huge as possible, while vergil is never fooling around and obliterates enemies right from the start.

There's nobody cooler then Vergil, case closed.

I’ve loved the DMC series since I was a kid, but I haven’t had a system to play DMC 5 on until I recently got a ps5 last week. I remembered this video and immediately bought the special edition just for Vergil.

This is like one of those times when a friend just talks so subjectively about something but you really listen because it's so interesting how passionate they are about something they really like.

Just say that he can CUT open portals in my opinion that is the coolest flex any character can do.

This man was so motivated through 30 minutes video

This video is one of the reasons that motivated me to get the game just to play as Vergil

Vergil's Meter fills just by standing near enemies. It fills faster, the closer you are to enemy. The key here is walking - if you run you lose meter, you need to just walk and teleport! It boosts not only your damage, but also range! The falling swords do not hold enemies in place, they rather slow time to, almost, a stop. Also Void Slash does the same!

Vergil is fundamentally designed to make you feel like the most powerful creature in the world. And that's why I love playing as him

Immortal temptation Takes over my mind, condemned Falling weak on my knees Summon the strength of mayhem I am the storm that is approaching Provoking black clouds in isolation I am reclaimer of my name Born in flames, I have been blessed My family crest is a demon of death Forsakened, I am awakened A phoenix's ash in dark divine Descending misery Destiny chasing time Inherit the nightmare, surrounded by fate Can't run away Keep walking the line, between the light Led astray Through vacant halls I won't surrender The truth revealed in eyes of ember We fight through fire and ice forever Two souls once lost, and now they remember I am the storm that is approaching Provoking black clouds in isolation I am reclaimer of my name Born in flames, I have been blessed My family crest is a demon of death Forsakened, I am awakened A phoenix's ash in dark divine Descending misery Destiny chasing time Disappear into the night Lost shadows left behind Obsession's pulling me Fading, I've come to take what's mine Lurking in the shadows under veil of night Constellations of blood pirouette Dancing through the graves of those who stand at my feet Dreams of the black throne I keep on repeat A derelict of dark, summoned from the ashes The puppet master congregates all the masses Pulling strings, twisting minds as blades hit You want this power? Then come try and take it Beyond the tree, fire burns Secret love, bloodline yearns Dark minds embrace, crimson joy Does your dim heart heal or destroy? Bury the light deep within Cast aside, there's no coming home We're burning chaos in the wind Drifting in the ocean all alone

Such a good video. Fucking so good. Just finished the game and it got better as it began to near the end. Gonna play the first 3 now in anticipation for the 6th one. Yeah great video brudda

I love challenges, but DMC 3 and 5 are the only games where its just as fun to just ABUSE enemies. Its like you are in a brutal horror movie without happy ending, just that you are the monster. Its such a weird experience to fight these Demons that look like death or the devil itself, yet you know that if any of them would somehow survive their encounter with you, they would need lifelong therapy

so, we got this vid of this guy SIMPING half hour for Vergil, and i love it!!!

You know the video is Good when im rewatching it two times and still love it!

Honestly, the animation work on the trick dodge alone makes him the coolest character in the game. It's the perfect balance of "You just made your last mistake." and "You're not worth the effort."

This man just dropped this masterpiece of a video and went into exile lol

I love how honest this dude is about how much he loves Virgil.

A few corrections/details: You can block by just holding lock-on, no need to time it properly. All that matters is how much Concentration you have. Also, that example you showed from Sunhi wasn't a block, it was a parry he did by doing the first attack of Yamato Combo A. You can do up to 4 Judgement Cuts in a row without needing to use teleports. You do a normal one and through it you perform 3 Just Judgement Cuts. Otherwise you can just do 3 Just Judgement Cuts. The point is, you aren't limited to 2. JCE, HoE and Deep Stinger's limitations are that they need LV2 Concentration and a max SDT gauge, regardless if you're in SDT or not. IF you're in SDT while doing them, you only lose 1/4 of your SDT meter, meaning you can stack an ultimate 4 times in a row. If you're in your human form, doing an ultimate will deplete the entire gauge but you'll get some DT in exchange. The new cutscenes are pre-rendered while the normal cutscenes are in-engine, so that's why they look different. No Bury the Light? My motivation decreased by 50%. Excellent video, glad to see the chads who know that Vergil is best boi.

There is also one more cool thing Vergil has that Dante can't do. He can activate his sin devil trigger for a moment and deactivate it without the loss of bar. Dante does kinda have it but you need SSS rank. Vergil can do this at any point in time

this is one of my new fav videos lmao
