Nah man old Vergil got slapped around by old Dante plenty but new Vergil was never a legitimate threat (ie. not menacing) and wasn't motivated enough.
Yeah, it's a shame that from mission 20, to the DLC, they gave up on doing anything different and better then the old series and gave into pandering.
I have already said numerous times that DmC2 looks to pave the way for DMC3. Dante already has white hair, Vergil gets spiky gelled back hair and motivated for more power. Only thing missing are the actual devil forms.
Well, that and both actually being half-human, not half-angel. And Sparda not being some lamer who hid from and got stepped on by Mundus (no reason for Arkham or anyone else to want the power of such a weak demon).
Man, where was that Vergil in the main campaign?
True, but I was specifically thinking of his pathetic whining of "Dante! Do something" when Mundus did little more than fucking *look* at him.
Epic, stirring, emotional, gripping, sensational, AAA, genuine etc.
I agree with this. Less color coated enemies, less cutscene interruptions, non social commentary story line replaced by character driven story, more isolated feeling, better environments, no subliminal They Live messages throughout the game. I was left wanting more.
Since his pulls are linked to his Summoned swords, they are 0 frame moves.
He had to get mauled by Dante to be motivated enough to go Super Saiyan.
He wouldn't survive 2 seconds. Only person who can challenge uncle Dante now is Super Saiyan Papa Vergil with 10x Motivation-ken.
It would still require retconning the things that I already pointed out in order to fit (in addition to the fact that DMC1 would still follow DMC3, which creates more problems because Sparda never defeated Mundus at any point and certainly wasn't revered as the Legendary Dark Knight). I really don't know why anyone would be so insistent on trying to link this game to the main series when it's already been established that it's supposed to be an alternate universe anyway (it wouldn't make much sense for Capcom to have backpedaled as they did and label it as such if they intended to have it flow into the other games).
Definitely. In the original series, it was always the topic of Sparda that put the other demons in a bad mood, whereas in DmC's universe, they focus on Eva instead (still weird how each and every one of them refer to her as "the whore", which just seems to be edginess for the sake of edginess as part of a demons vs. angels thing, since nothing presented in the story suggested it having any weight).
Vergil in DmC is more complex than Vergil in DMC3. The guy in the video didn't use the full breadth of Vergil's moves and tools. Only real difference between Vergil of DMC3 and DmC Vergil is the difference in the enemy step which is easier in DmC but the overall tools are similar with a slight edge to DmC Dante.
