Cerberus is cheesable if you want to throw Style out the window, sure, due to his anchored position in the arena - there's no reason you can't just stay back and E&I him to death, as I'm sure plenty of players did on their first playthrough, since E&I hovering and probably a little bit of Trickster dashing (when he does his charge-forward attack) is all you really need to evade the few attacks he can hit you with at a distance.
But I'd say Berial is cheesable even if you're taking a melee-first approach, if only because he's honestly not that great at punishing you for getting up close and personal - he just doesn't have much in the way of genuinely fast attacks. You can pretty easily get in and get out and stay safe that way, whereas Cerberus and Phantom are consistently dangerous to get close to (and the point is to get the player over that hump and teach them how to engage offensively while responding to enemy telegraphs).

Donguri beating up on an old man with all characters except for Trish. I am perfectly content with having this guy be the master of anything DMC4.
Also, I am just now realizing that Lady is ideal for getting the SSS boss trophies in this game. Just got the one for Berial after a whole bout of jump cancelling shotgun shots. At least I've got some combo material with Lady now. I think.

one sitting.
however after you clear out the level and you get the quick "next level available" cutscene the clock stops running, so you can stay there. Couple that with PS4 suspending and you can definitely take breaks.
I'm on Xbox, but yeah, that is true. The thought didn't even occur to me. I'll probably tackle that next then. Bit burnt out of the campaign.
Is such a thing even possible? Yes, apparently it is.
Hey guys, so Gregaman is asking us for any bugs found:
http://www.capcom-unity.com/devil_m...1/30530313/dmc4se-balance-changes-or-glitches
Other than the Shuffle and the Streak, there's the change to the Lucifer glitch, right? Anything else?

This guy's Dante is just insane.

There's that Royal Guard glitch with the second Dante fight that was shown in a couple gifs (at least that's what people were calling it). Though I feel like that's a glitch that I'd want left in for hilarity factor.

First 4 Figures has announced they are working on a Dante statue. Teaser above. Word of warning: these statues don't come cheap, they usually go for $200-499. It's well worth the money though.
EDIT: updated post with picture and Facebook link
heroin dante is back!
Oh right, of course, lol. That happened to me and I already forgot.

Does the bad audio mixing in cutscenes count as a glitch? Can barely hear what Dante/Nero say sometimes.

That looks like Ricky Ortiz cosplay as Dante
Only works with EX charged on Turbo at 60 fps. Works for both uncharged and charged with turbo off at 60 fps. It also works for both with turbo on at 120 fps.

Well, I got two good Lady combos. Now I need to decide which one I want to go with for submission.
Thanks, much appreciated.

Alright, that's two entries for the style tournament done now. All that's left is to come up with something for Trish.
Congrats dude. Now you can get in on this crazy party!

Dante: Cut it in half.
Trish: Don't even bother.

The problem with DMC's level design is that it doesn't know what it wants to be.
The problem we have now is that it's essentially still using Resident Evil style puzzle mechanics, which is completely nonsensical for this kind of game. Combine with that with bad puzzle mechanics or puzzles stretching across multiple missions.
Either make it more like Bloodborne (which had almost no puzzles, but had fantastic level design, and exists in one interconnected world) Or make it like Monster Hunter (where missions are standalone, but you could also have story arcs that are spread across multiple missions)

love the tablehopper on Vergil's DT. it's slowly becoming a reflex to DT and start sidestepping out of nasty situations.
i was dying for this alt
itsuno failed me
correct, his mvc3 model is much slimmer and his face is uh, better
like the mvc3 model is just way better tbh
his dmc4 model's face is really weird and he has that same beefy torso body deal that dante has going on which really drives me nuts whenever i see him
also bring back best vergil

Yup... I thought it would have been a shoe in because they basically just need to reconstruct Vergils arms without the coat (given how much small of a budget they had)....
the main thing I want is for them to be able to add new weapons, enemies, and bosses. I don't care how they do it as long as I have some new core content to mess around with once in a while.

finished SoS with lady/trish. That leaves one guy who I haven't used yet. I think I'll do SoS with Vergil next.
Switching between characters is kinda rough. Like I was playing Lady for a while, then went back to Nero and it was like day 1 DMC4 again lol

Try the shotgun. But I'm struggling in Mission 20.
Hope you enjoy it! And feel free to ask questions in here or check out the OP if you have any issues at all.
Why didn't I think of this?
The future is now. I definitely didn't think of that, but I'm definitely going to use it.

I don't really agree on this. It fundamentally changes a lot. Before, you always knew if you switched weapons, you'd be at the start of the combo. That would not be the case anymore if combo progression went across weapons.
yeah it does tons of damage also, but seriously this is just insane. I mean yeah you have to charge it but bosses rarely charge at you if stun them. I'm killing bosses before they even phase to their last forms now.
yeah same
the weapon switch cancel combo shenanigan wouldn't exist anymore and that's the core of the DMC ground combo series to me
imo if you let the player choose by say, holding down the trigger when switching to go into an equal delay combo (combo b->combo b as this would allow for different input # strings between wepaons and whatnot- probably switch with equiv. button presses at that point) i'd be cool with it but otherwise i'd have a problem with it
first hit of neutral melee will do the trick. has a bit of startup so swing while the previous number's about to roll
mission 1 (nero) is the only one i haven't S-ranked on ldk yet. A is the highest i can get because i have no idea how i'm supposed to style on dante. it's extra frustrating because i have to skip through 2 sets of cutscenes each attempt.
edit: nm i did it. i am legenday gotten

also, that lady/trish ending was cringe.
Dante apparently isn't good with the ladies? lies. you could also read it as trish's frustration that he didn't make a move or something. which is just plain weird, considering the "basically a clone of his mom" angle.

its just one melee attack with Lady. I know her melee is slow but you can still get the top number.
Ivan Amiibo
Banned
yeah, that's what I did. you have a pretty big window to hit. the number can be like halfway to the next one and still hit it.
By the way, you know that die spins in a set pattern, right? Once you see the number you want, you can just count 6 rotations.
Yeah, I know. The problem is hitting that number with Lady.
I just tested it out for a bit. It seems like gunshots give you random numbers sometimes. It's definitely not reliable. If you do a straight up melee attack, it works every time.
