You're right, I did mean the B button.IJoel said:
Upgrading the styles adds more moves to the style, or enhances existing ones.
Trickster, for example:
Level 1: dodge on the ground
Level 2: multiple dodges on the ground, air dodge
Level 3: can warp towards enemies when locked on
etc.
edit: Agree that Trickster was best for noobs in DMC3 but I think dodging is a lot easier in DMC4 so I think Swordmaster is easier to get a handle of.

Especially if you've gotten used to Neros air juggle.Draft said:
Yes, I changed it to L1/LB. Shit is still awkward to use though. I dunno, it's like my right hand is OK holding R1/RB and tapping R2/RT for weapon changes, and my left hand is fine with pulling L2/LT for instarevs, but when I try to instarev WHILE holding L1/LB to charge a shot, forget it. My instarevs go to shit.

Lucifer is a lovely little weapon that works kind of like phantom swords. If you hit the enemy with a melee combo Dante will stick swords into him, after a time they will explode but you can also make them explode by hitting back+attack while locked on. If you upgrade Lucifer you get the ability to spawn 4 swords in front of you, you can spawn about 3 rows of that but on the 3rd row the excess swords start exploding. While that ability isnt that usefull on its on, if you switch to Blademaster you can start re arranging the swords, you can position them in a sphere around you or you can shoot them Like Phantom swords. Except they only start tracking at style lvl 4 of blademaster.
Yup, lock on and snatch, then use Buster and then hit lock on again to target the window.solid2snake said:

The boss against the "Savior" with Dante is very tedious.

Can someone give me general pointers on how to use Trickster and Royal Guard? I've never used anything other than Swordmaster and occasionally Gunslinger.

You've gotta be retarded.
Play the game on HUMAN AUTO - ON , there, you won't have to worry about items disappearing because the game will be so fuck easy you won't need them in the first place.
...you also shouldn't even buy healing items either, you should be purchasing blue orbs instead.
You guys will think I'm crazy but I wall dashed twice as Dante using Trickster during the Berial mission. One time during the ice area vs the dogs and the other was against scarecrows in the city. I seriously think I'm going crazy because its not supposed to be in the game....
And fuck the Trickster haters. Dodging every attack in the game with the teleport is the most satisfying feeling.

Um...the very fuckin' essence of Devil May Cry? You fought the boss once, used an item -- now it's round 2 and you no longer have that item. But now you've gotten better, you know the attack routines and patterns, the animations, the sounds, the realization that Nero can send back half the shit bosses throw at you via devil arm etc. On SoS mode, if I died at a boss, used an item -- the next turnabout I usually kick it's ass without using any items.
Anyway, don't worry about the game being too hard. The game will handicap the bosses and enemies if you die on them. Further and further until you can beat them.

Oh hell yeah. Finally got every blue orb and finished all difficulty levels once... of course, except Hell and Hell 
I find myself done with DMC4 now... I'll have some fun with Bloody Temple first though.
EDIT: I give DMC4 the strongest 8 I've ever given a game. It's that awesome.

Yeah I am definitely in need of some Royal Guard pointers.
I never used it in DMC3 so the secret mission where you have to do five of them is kicking my ass up and down.

IJoel said:I am terrible at this game. Just when I was starting to get all warmed up to Nero, they do the ol' switcharoo and made me feel I was playing with 2 left hands.
What's this? 4 Different fighting modes? What's the difference? How would I know which to pick? The game needs a sort of training ground for such modes. I leveled up sword master, because it sounded more in-tune with my play style, but maybe there's a better option for me.
I would imagine most people start the game with the tutorial ON right? Doesn't it tell you the basics there for Dante?

I'm on Mission 15 right now on Devil Hunter. Man the game is just great thus far, a little frustrating with some puzzles and backtracking, but for the most part I love it. Nero has been great, and setting up combos with exceed is a shit ton of fun. Just got Dante and haven't played a lot of DMC3...and oh boy, now THIS is why everyone keeps whining about real time weapon switching in the Ninja Gaiden topics :lol. I wouldn't change my position on that, as I think NG is better without it, but boy oh boy do I love Dante. Nero was great, but man this is just another league imo. While playing with Nero I feel like I have control over just every aspect and everything is very cool and precise. As soon as I got to Dante though, I'm like "What the fuck is this shit?!".
I'm just amazed with the seemingly unlimited amount of options I have available to me with Dante. And mixed with varying up style and strategy against some of the better henchmen opponents is pure sex. Never before have I ever been so completely overwhelmed by a moveset in a game before. Admittitedly I've rented the game, and now I regret it because I find myself wanting to compete with people on my list and trying to make decent spots on the leaderboards and beating the game over and over again. I think I'll be sad when I get back to Nero, although he's awesome as well.

Do Dante's different styles just change the action of the circle button?

I've been trying out Automatic and is it just me or do enemies randomly explode now?
I think I'm going crazy. The theme used for the secret missions sounds just like a loop of the intro to Robo's theme from Chrono Trigger.
Also, I had a question. My friend completed mission 6 and I can see his ranking for it. But I can't see anyting for his missions 2->5. This is for the PS3. Do they only rank so many people?

I'm playing on Son of Sparda mode right and I S'd a bunch of missions with Nero. Now I've made the switch to Dante and I've been getting destroyed by almost every type of enemy besides the Scarecrows.:lol
I just am not enjoying playing as Dante after playing exclusively as Nero for about two days in Bloody Palace.

I forgot to mention... for those who really can't finish DmD and really wants to have infinite DT should check GameFAQs any day now I uploaded my save right now, it'll probably take 1-2 days to show up though.
