I love the detail when her shadow changes into sillhoutte of her demon form based on the weapon that she currently use

[@mann-nova9392]

I just wish it also gave you the old Madama shadow when using the old guns

[@michaelwestmoreland2530]

Or how her wings are visible in shadow even when not so to the naked eye.

[@moka8601]

Bayo 3 may have gutted the story partt but they made up for that in having the best weapons and gameplay of the series , can't wait for part 2 , you are doing god's work

[@trananbinhjerry6438]

Especially the Masquerade summon, and all the demon. I specifically like how absolutely ridiculous but awsome the train and clock tower look

[@moka8601]

Combine that with demon wink and slave and you have a REALLY deep combat system

[@uria3679]

I know there are some moments in the story that made some fans upset but I don’t think that means that the story is bad I’ll just wait for one of the big time KZbinrs like Fox or Sphere to give me a straight answer

[@trananbinhjerry6438]

@@uria3679 they nerfed Bayo to the ground for the sake of introducing the new mechanic, kill of every character in the most plot convenient way possible, and the cutsceens don't feel as epic and violent. I like a the plot but not how they executed it

[@Celebi50]

How does having less customization than ever before and Astral Chain knock-offs taking up the entire screen the whole game translate to best gameplay in the series???

[@93BigShane]

Anyone else notice the masquerade for Tartarus kinda looks like one of those ancient Umbra Witches? Nice little detail.

[@TornaitSuperBird]

It's also a marionette, could potentially reference the Immortal Marionette too.

Man I knew Bayonetta and her demons had moves but damn I wasn't expecting she'd have her own version of a devil trigger

[@thelegendarygitarooman8833]

Even down to flat out making female Virgil.

[@mann-nova9392]

The way Umbran Climax functioned in 2 is more similar to Devil Trigger. Viola is the one who has the most similar form and function.

[@elone4567]

Reminds me of dmc 1 and 3 dante

[@C.A.M584]

​@@thelegendarygitarooman8833Not close yet but with time she could be stronger.

[@matthew5278]

​@@thelegendarygitarooman8833 In terms of character, Nero is probably a better comparison. As for combat, she's a bit if a mix of DMC sword characters. But I did immediately think of Vergil when the character was first shown

[@djsumner1633]

Ok no lie, I've been studying Bayonetta and her shadow's. If you look close enough in her human form you can see her alternate transformation

[@neonexus9660]

The particles for her walk and jump also change depending on the weapon

[@Luna-rl5wu]

My biggest gripe with Bayo 2 and 3 are the grunts. Bayo 1 had set grunts and lines for each move of each combo, so you could keep track of the combo you were doing, and where you are in it. Bayo 2 randomized the grunts and hearing them while knowing this feels so off sometimes.

[@dashi-musashi351]

EXACTLY, Platinum were on some crazy shit back then. Where’d all that sophistication go?

[@Anonymous1995]

"I've had enough of--" *dodges*

[@brentescobar7523]

I really love phantom thief abracadabra. It looks like you can do lots of set up damage and end then humerously. Abracadabra is probably my favorite weapon.

[@starmoral5456]

Don't forget the giant "Fuck Off" lazer

[@sebygamingyt2621]

not to mention its mas. rage is OP af... (technically both the french weapons are powerfull abracadabra is for burst and tartarus can block attacks so long as its not some laser or AOE dmg...)

[@ritirgent3036]

damn this looks like nevan guitar, but for girls

[@deathbykonami5487]

Makes sense that the weapon associated with Alraune would straight up try to kill her.

[@quehay45]

Had the feeling that Bayonetta had a way bigger and more complete moveset compared to Rodin, Balder, Viola, V, and Vergil, BUT NOT THIS BIG. And to think this is still missing the demons' movesets. 😱 If in Bayo 4 you get to play as Viola, one of the Cerezas, or any other co-protagonist, hope they distribute better all the weapons and summons across all playable characters. Your effort and editing is appreciated a lot. Good work. 👍

[@jdellabeat6245]

It's still a bummer for me that we never got fully realized moveset for Jeanne nor had any of the playable characters you got to play in Bayonetta 2 like Balder, Rodan, etc. I would love to seen Loki playable in 3. Make 'em unlockables. Smh.

[@user-yq3bv9rf9b]

@@jdellabeat6245 It doesnt make sense to have Jeanne use a different moveset since in Bayo 1 there is a scene where Cereza asks Jeanne if she knows her since they use the same techniques meaning that witches use the same fighting style and weapons. A Jeanne signature weapon would be cool tho.

[@jdellabeat6245]

@@user-yq3bv9rf9b I'm just spitballin' here. Besides, I just find it interesting if the rival character gets a different moveset or mechanic onto their own. Look at Vergil and Dante. The classic examples. I just think expressing individuality and character through combat design is what I'll always fall in love of the games with fully realized combat.

[@user-sm6gn3nl6o]

Well, Vergil has quite a moveset in Devil May Cry 5 and he's gonna have even bigger one in Peak of Combat since he now posesses Aquilla + he has more combo variations for both ground and air in PoC. Edit: my mistake about PoC, it appeared to be trash.

[@Bayonettasnumber1fan]

Would love to play as Jeanne or French Bayonetta as a character, I mean you can, but for major storyline instead of bike.

[@fallenangelplays1725]

For those who are confused about the Misinformation on Scarborough Fair and Love is Blue. You NEED To have Save data from both 1 and 2 to get the previous guns. THEY DO NOT show after completing the game without them like so many people say. (And no they don't appear after clearing the game at the highest difficult like some will argue.) IF you have the save data of both games, you can get them as soon as the shop is unlocked i believe. (Meaning after the Prologue.) AGAIN YOU NEED THE SAVE DATA FROM BOTH GAMES. The confusion most likely happened because Scarborough Fair is IN the game, but not obtainable through normal gameplay. The only way to get them is to have the save data from the first two games.

[@fallenangelplays1725]

Update, most likely people are confusing the methods for Bayonetta 2 where you do Get the gun after beating the game on Second Climax mode. So yeah there is no other way to get the guns besides the save data.

[@shrimpshufflr7745]

Wait like you need both as in having both unlocks both guns? Or like having mayo 2 will unlock just LiB

[@fallenangelplays1725]

@@shrimpshufflr7745 if you get Bayonetta 1 you get Scarborough Fair If you get Bayonetta 2 then you get Love Is Blue. I bought the Games backwards but very slowly. So all you really need is the Save Data from the game then you'll unlock it in Bayonetta 3. Hopefully that makes sense.

He will probably cover Bayo2 next year, after his current break. He has played and also likes that game. Ironically, he chose to tackle head on the character with the biggest and most complex moveset first.

[@dashi-musashi351]

My problem with these weapons is a lot of them just do the same thing, and you can only equip 2 at a time as opposed to the 4 you could before. Bayonetta 1 weapons were the epitome of ‘do a lot with a little’. Every weapon had a purpose and were more like extensions of the default moveset rather than them needing entire new animations, which wouldn’t be a bad thing (if done properly), they just did a lot with a little. Odette let you walk on freezing ice and lava, and the charge modifier let you get extra hits in and also let you freeze enemies just by playing how you normally would with Scarborough Fair. It also made you run faster. Kusheldra let you launch yourself towards enemies or pull them towards you to follow up with a combo or to grab and throw them. Onyx Roses were good for stunning, Bazilions pierced through defences, was good for juggling, and did a ton of damage, as did Kilgore which had the rocket launch enemy step. Durga protected you from taking damage from burning enemies and stepping on lava, or being electrocuted by lightning, Shuraba had a wide sweeping wicked weave, etc. The weapons followed generally the same rule with the combo string; PKP will get you a weave, PPKP will get you a launcher, and they didn’t necessarily require you to learn that big of a new moveset while still making themselves unique and useful for different situations and weapons combos, i.e. Kusheldra and Kilgore on legs to pull an enemy towards you and jump off of them to damage them with the rockets. I think all that was lost by Bayonetta 2 where they tried incorporating more various animations, but a lot of the weapons felt half baked imo, especially Undine. Here the weapon animations / combos aren’t half baked but the actual purpose of each weapon or move lacks in variety.

[@mrsato7508]

First game allowed you to equip 4 weapons. Third allows to equip 2 weapons and 3 demons. In total i would say functionality is the same. But i really wish they put more work into special skills of the weapons. I like using abracadabra and i absolutely do not understand why they gave the ranged weapon same skillset as all melee weapons have? Like, when i first saw Bayo disappearing in the cylinder and teleporting in other place while using some of Abracadabra's skills, i thought "oh cool, looks like very stylish dodge/escape tool". But no, you can't dodge anything with this skills since they dont have invulnerability frames, and you also cant teleport away, only towards enemies.
