found a neat thing with lady where you can carryover the charge onto other weapons to a degree (for one shot only)

it's pretty simple you just release the shot and swap weapons within a few frames of each other. the kalina ann one is a bit trickier because you gotta do the swap at the end of the recovery for the shot

edit:
and more scrap combos

Random DmC news. Thanks to the Humble Capcom Bundle, DMC2 is now the worst-selling DMC game, as it is how things should be, though unofficially for now in lack of an update of their Platinum sellers chart. Currently, there are around 630k owners of DmC on Steam, which puts it ahead of RE5 but behind RE6, which is at 666k (coincidentally). RE 6 and DmC are respectively the second and third most-owned Capcom games on Steam, behind USF4 on first. But as USF4 has had a free weekend, its numbers aren't reliable.

Also, Tim Phillips, DmC Dante's actor mentioned on Twitter that he is going to be streaming himself playing DmC on twitch soon, which is an opportune moment to ask him some questions about his work on the game and how it was to work with NT and Capcom:

Edit: I realize this sounds a lot like a press release, but I couldn't think of any ways to phrase it that doesn't make it sound that way, lol.

Source? Should Humble Bundle sales really count? Technically, $0 could have been apportioned to Capcom for a subset of those "sales".

 

[direct_quote]

What would you count the HD collection sales for?

 

[Sesha]

HD Collection counts as a separate SKU. It has sold 1m.

Source? Should Humble Bundle sales really count? Technically, $0 could have been apportioned to Capcom for a subset of those "sales".

I'm working purely off of SteamSpy. There have been more than 100k new owners for DmC over the last couple of weeks. Like I said, this isn't official.

And I forgot about that. They may not update the charts for it at all if that is the case.

 

[Dahbomb]

Good on DmC. Too bad they didn't patch the DE changes on to the PC version and you have to use mods instead.

 

[ShinMaruku]

I'm saddened that DMC4 never had a novel. I loved the DMC novels personally.

 

[Sesha]

There are the Deadly Fortune novels written by Bingo Morihashi.

 

[Son Of Sparda]

So, we are couple of days away from Sony's PGW presentation. Do you guys expect to see anything Capcom related there or should we wait until PSX?

 

[Sesha]

PGW is more of a Euro thing. I don't expect any big news from any Japanese publishers.

I have a feeling we won't see anything from DMC5 at all this year. PSX still is a possibility. But I don't think they're ready to show it yet.

 

[Son Of Sparda]

That's why I said Capcom in general and didn't talk about DMC5

Seriously, I feel like Capcom will at least announce RE7 or another big game at PSX. Especially since they are suppose to have a big presence at the event this year because of Capcom Cup and all that.

 

[direct_quote]

DMC5 announcement incoming on a random Tuesday, kappa. But i hope at PSX it is revealed...

 

[N313]

Reuben Landgdon talk about DMC5!

 

[direct_quote]

Reuben Landgdon talk about DMC5!

He said there were rumors going around the internet about a new DMC with the old characters... Sounds like he's reading GAF?

Spoiler

or he knows something

 

[Seyavesh]

yess fan the flames of hope

also that interview has so much talk about aliens and extra-dimensional beings gahhh
its totally assholish to say that id prefer to hear more about his work than his passion w/ that but thats how i feel

other tidbits:
dmc4 dante is his favorite 'cuz they're both old/more in line w/ his mannerisms i guess
he enjoys doing scenes where he's just talking and conveying emotion since the nature of his work has him doin' a lot of action stuff. so the final scene of dmc4 w/ dante and nero is one of his favorites
he did the mocapping for playstation all stars DmC dante because the director wanted original dante in the game but contractually had to put in the DmC one

i think i got everything?

I like him.

 

[GuardianE]

The PSASBR part of the interview just reinforces how that game was doomed from the beginning. Rather than a celebration of PS, it was a giant crossover marketing campaign where the director couldn't even include what he wanted. Not saying anything we didn't know already, but damn. That kind of game lives and dies by its roster... and well, it died.

 

[Son Of Sparda]

I like him.

Hahaha, me too.

Wow that looks better than the vanilla effect.. I want this in DMC5..

it actually confuses me why they didn't just do this
like, the idea just clicked for me this morning when i saw dante's dimension slash effect
'wait that's fucking judgement cut'

seriously why did they do the ugly bars when they literally could've done this holy shit. leave the damn bars for dante's darkslayer style

Yah it seems like a natural evolution of judgement cut into HD..

I actually hadn't even realized PSASBR had cutscenes, so I went back and looked. You can totally tell it's Reuben during the low budget rival scenes.

https://youtu.be/1HJc_iLprF4?t=36s

Director straight up called him up and said "In his heart, there was really only one Dante." Horrible cutscene, though.

Are you using the rapid slash effects on that?

 

[Dahbomb]

Now that's a true next gen Judgment Cut.

Also random question but who would you guys like in a Death Battle against Dante?

I could only think of Inuyasha and Alucard though even those wouldn't be that exciting. I think Dante would wipe the floor with Inuyasha but he can't kill Alucard so he would lose there.

Also thought of Brandon Heat (Gungrave), Dunpeal (Vampire Hunter D) and Vash the Stampede (Trigun) but Dante would wipe them easier than Inuyasha.


Maybe Dante vs Bayonetta but that's way too close to each other IMO. Would be like putting Jak against Ratchet.

 

[Seyavesh]

Are you using the rapid slash effects on that?

it uses the sheathing effect from dante's judgement cut (dimension slash)- when he slashes, it does that effect
see:

also man, trying to make judgement cut end like the dmc3 boss dimensional slash didn't work so i ended up replacing the explosion effect at the end with judgement cut for a similar effect

 

[Son Of Sparda]

You guys seriously need to watch this:

Damn Seyavesh, this is awesome man!

Capcom make sure you put this in DMC5.

 

[Dahbomb]

Nier 2 looks nice. I don't know how PG has more action games in development than Capcom at this point.

External funding. Capcom on the ropes banking it all on SF and RE.

 

[GuardianE]

Platinum is freelance, and therefore can be called in to work on any number of properties freely. It's not really surprising. It's just good that they're getting consistent work.

 

[OniBaka]

Yeah Nier 2 looks amazing.

 

[Mizerman]

Chalk Nier 2 as another game I gotta get for the PS4.

 

[Seyavesh]

fun fact i just noted:
i'm sure some folks have noticed that letting vergil sheath yamato creates a UI response, even for force edge combo B's ender
turns out it also boosts your DT gauge by a ton!
that's specifically why vergil's DT gain feels so damn high

Yeah sheathing and completing moves to their full recovery gives your more DT.

I know this is a boring answer and a boring outcome, but I'd still like to see Dante vs. Hayabusa, just to have the character action kings go at it. If Screw Attack did their research, there should be no contest, the teenager in me always wanted to see it.

Ryu Hayabusa lost in a Death Battle to Strider Hiryu and he would lose harder to Dante.

 

[Mizerman]

Hmm...can't really think of appropriate Death Battle involving Dante.

 

[GuardianE]

Ryu Hayabusa lost in a Death Battle to Strider Hiryu and he would lose harder to Dante.

Yeah, he would, which is why I feel it's boring. I don't really have a solid answer other than Bayo. Didn't know about Hayabusa vs. Strider, though. Interesting.

 

[Dahbomb]

I think they came to the conclusion that Strider is more cybernetically enhanced than Ryu and while Ryu can dodge normal bullets, Strider can dodge special homing bullets designed to target super human speedsters. So Strider wins because of speed even though in other categories they are about on par.


Some fans have done a Bayonetta vs Dante death battle as well.

The Bayonetta camp believes Bayonetta will win because of Witch Time so the claim is that she has an advantage in speed because of it. Also they claim that Bayonetta's Climax special attacks would be able to over power Dante's healing capabilities. In other areas it's generally even and they don't expect the weapons to make much of an impact.

Dante's camp believes Dante will win because he has far more durability (survived a direct hit from the Savior/Mundus attacks plus getting shot in the head/stabbed in heart) and speed (when he was fighting Mundus in space he was flying extremely fast based on calculations). Witch time only comes into play if Bayonetta can dodge attacks but if she can't she is less durable than Dante besides in theory Dante can activate Quicksilver whenever he wants so he should be able to negate Witch time. Not to mention that Dante has already beaten an enemy that can manipulate time despite not having that ability himself (Geryon).

Dante also has the upper hand in that most of Bayonetta's abilities are demon/hell based which Dante is already an expert killing where as Bayonetta is mostly an expert at killing Angel beings (which Dante has no affiliation with). In addition, Dante's abilities/weapons are more vast than Bayonetta's.


I think without taking into consideration the Sparda sword and it's powers, it would be a close Death Battle.

 

[Seyavesh]

jesus christ there's a wiki for that too?
dudes go in deep

 

[Rean]

Speaking of Quicksliver, was there ever a reason why they decided not to include it in DMC4? I'm assuming it wasn't in because there were only so many styles you could put on the d-pad.

 

[Dahbomb]

Controller is maxed out as it is. Maybe instead of Darkslayer style we could've had Quicksilver or Doppelganger.

 

[Golnei]

I can understand them not wanting to put the work into Doppelganger given the original game's truncated development cycle, but considering a Quicksilver analogue was partially implemented; they really should have made it available to use anywhere. With the way ability refunding works in 4, it could just be an optional upgrade for Devil Trigger, which you could refund whenever you wanted to use the regular DT.

 

[Seyavesh]

released dmc3 recolor + effects pack w/ more updated effects for yamato i guess (not sure if they're actually better than the older dmc3 effects version but i like them way, way more)

They just updated to 1.7 million for DmC.

I would feel good about DmC surpassing DMC 2 if not for the fact that I really want DMC 5 over DmC 2. I mean, I know it's been all but confirmed that it's DMC 5 and not DmC 2, but I still won't rest easy until we get a teaser for DMC 5. I've been burned way too many times the past 5 years to truly trust Capcom despite the fact that Vanilla DmC still hasn't reached it's original goal after 34 months meaning it would be insane to get DmC 2 over DMC 5.
