Can You Get an S Rank in DMD Using Super Character?

[@noahcennerilli7975]

You actually did it! That's amazing dude, glad to see it was possible

[@XLHGladiator]

Thank you! 😁

[@megacatlive]

Your a madman,😭😭 I didn't know it was even possible.

[@neocrimson3542]

I didn't know the scaling system is based on hits thats crazy its probably why v's familars boss mission is so hard to s rank you're fighting the same enemies alot

Mr. Sin pull could never

[@RiderWithTheScarf]

I'm away for a few months and when I come back you're already doing a Master's on this game's style system, lol (^

[@XLHGladiator]

I dunno why am i still digging here but... i hope someone else who just bought DMC5 finds it useful 😂

Ok. This was really interesting to watch! The scoring system of this game has always been very "peculiar", but I didn't think that these things could be done too! (Although it's not possible to do this in all Missions, unfortunately.) What you did with Vergil is an "alternative" to the glitch that allows you to maximize Red Orbs, with the only difference that the final blow is always given by the Doppelganger. For me this is another proof that you are right when you say that the game rewards killing enemies with one hit!

[@icursemystarsinbittergrief]

You're wrong, with the doppelganger glitch, the final blow has to be done by virgil to get max orbs

[@TheDarkslayer0]

@@icursemystarsinbittergrief Rereading my comment might seem wrong, but what I actually meant is the same thing as what you wrote! The glitch normally requires Vergil to land the finishing blow, while Gladiator does the finishing blow with the Doppelganger. By "alternative", I meant that he does exactly what the glitch requires, except for the finishing blow of course! Sorry for the misunderstanding, but English is not my primary language!

[@icursemystarsinbittergrief]

@@TheDarkslayer0 English is not mine either but i gotcha

[@XLHGladiator]

@TheDarkslayer0 How to do the orb glitch? 🤔 I've heard about it but i don't know the full requirements. I need that to get enough orbs in my PC save file. I'm sick of farming 😂

[@icursemystarsinbittergrief]

@XLHGladiator To be short, you must head to the boss without touching mobs on human mode with Vergil. Once you're there, hit with doppelganger only. Once the boss is low, health do combo c with doppelganger, so the boss is only one hp but u gotta deactivate doppelganger before landing the last blow. Then finish him with a single blow with Vergil.

[@innasiberia]

I've known down to a T how the style system works, but didn't think of using Vergil to kill the plant (it's that part of the equation that made the whole experiment nearly pointless). This is most likely possible only with mission 2, since it's the only one which doesn't have obligatory encounters. The only other option would be boss-only missions or mission 13 (altho blood clots might plummet style points, they give the same amount of points as normal enemies). There're also a player who tried to do that with prologue, but the numbers always came juuuust a lil bit short of 6000 needed for an S. Also: yes, mushrooms give the same amount of style points as tentacles.

[@XLHGladiator]

The style system is taken from DMC3 with extra changes. I've done a very brief video 10 years ago about DMC3 style system in my second channel called: "SS without killing any enemy" check it out if you got time Ah i see i see... i was really worried about blood clots too but i did not expect them to be the same as normal enemies. I've never tested on them cause i thought they might be as useless as Urizen's crystal that gives no points. Well in that case, a lot of the missions i've listed would be impossible to S rank this way. I've also tested on Prologue first. And yes, you're right. The points will be around 5800 or something, but it was so close that it made me try twice just hit the same max score again 😂 Thanks for confirming about the mushrooms. I was always skeptical.

[@johnboone678]

You can, I've s ranked missions using super characters as well!

[@cassiuskahn3318]

Bravo sir.

[@hacker4040]

are you planing on making videos explaining style system?. I mean I understand how a mission ranks you in style it is the average of the fights but I dont know how each fight is ranked. And howdo you get those style cap values of enemies?

[@XLHGladiator]

The initial plan was to to release said video, yes. I'm not sure if it's what you were looking for but, it'll help you get better scores, hopefully. I have it done and it'll be public in a the next few days

[@hacker4040]

​@@XLHGladiator Ok thanks i will be looking forward to it

[@TokenCast]

What move virgil, get where he throws down three sores from the air!?!

[@Cum846]

Air taunt

[@gurmeharsingh3758]

Just his air taunt

[@Raffa_03]

Wooooow amazing !!!!!

[@Gustavozxd13]

Man the style system in this game is so messed up. I really don't get why they changed it from 3 and 4. Either way tho this was a pretty cool and interesting video.

[@noahcennerilli7975]

@@Gustavozxd13 yeah and the worst part is, this is the only DMC game that ONLY requires style points to get the S while cutting bs like orbs collected and time, it's a shame they made a system that encourages you to fight the least amount of enemies possible (and iirc you can't ever "farm" style points in DMC5 as there are no instances of infinitely respawning enemies)

[@XLHGladiator]

It was actually taken from DMC3 with few changes. But the basic idea is still the same. At least in DMC3 there was a different style requirement for each stage. But in this game, they've just decided to go with 5000 for Devil Hunter, 5500 for SoS, 6000 for DMD. And 6000 is not something you'd always reach by playing normally, especially with so many useless enemies around that will drain your points rather than raise them. Felt like they were planted in there as a trap sometimes

[@arthuravila9037]

Couldnt u use The money glitch ? Like combo b vergil The one that he stops after 3 and makes thosands slashes with The clone and then Just one hit with vergil ?

[@innasiberia]

The point of the glitch is that you overflow the style points variable and make it go into negative, which would surely be less than positive 6000 needed for an S. Also, quite sure that this vid is mostly about an honest way to use game's systems to match the requirements, rather than using some form of a glitch.

[@sandrinebok5023]

Can you do more videos about this like other missions

[@XLHGladiator]

Not sure about other missions cause they will require a lot of trial and error and the idea is basically the same. But you'll be fighting actual bosses who actually move around and fight back and that would be a nightmare to deal with 🤔 Probably will take forever to no damage an entire mission from start to end using this method on DMD. I've done it on Prologue first but the points were not enough for an S rank. It was 5700 something

[@BleachByakuya]

How about other missions and make it a series?😂

[@XLHGladiator]

I'll think about it. Maybe just one more challenging mission? We'll see 🤔

[@andresrayito]

brother you have play station 5 or play station 4

[@XLHGladiator]

Both. This was recorded on PS5

[@KuroNoTenno]

Bloody hell XD

[@iamyodaddy4143]

Super costume are only good for ldk mode

[@LightniNgo49]

Bayonetta game has times better mission total scoring. If only it had good combo points count that doesn't have penaltly for not finishing string it would have perfect😞 GG Gladiator

[@XLHGladiator]

It's not entirely bad. But sometimes it felt like the devs themselves did not know what's possible and what's not during stylish play. To solve this, they only needed to decide a specific number for each stage and for every single encounter, by actually playing the game or bringing different skilled testers and go with the most balanced number. Because there are encounters that will actually drain your points rather than raise them. Slapping the 6000 mark on every DMD mission seemed like a lazy move. Thanks for watching!

[@LightniNgo49]

​@@XLHGladiator Fact that in 5 Perfect S don't have difference with just S in score table (unlike SS rank in 3 for example) shows how much devs cared about it

[@XLHGladiator]

yep, we just wasted our time

[@denglong7180]

This was the last good game Itsuno made. Dragon's Dogma 2 does not exist.

[@Dante_Sparda796]

Both games are bangers.
