How the SSS rank CHANGES your combos in Devil May Cry 3

How the SSS style rank affects the duration of crazy combos in Devil May Cry 3. I counted every hit in every Dante's crazy combo and made comparisson between D-rank and SSS-rank. This is Devil May Cry 3 for Nintendo Switch, where you can freely switch between all 6 styles and 10 weapos.

There are NO Mods in this video! This is official DMC 3 for Nintendo Switch! My favorite SSS-rank crazy-combo is Acid Rain with Artemis. I recommend that you try it out. Also I forgot to demonstrate the combo "Flicker", so please watch: kzbin.infory_V6gRVJ7s?feature=share

Glad someone finally did a video on this cause not many people know about SSS actually effecting your moves also tempest does kinda get effected with SSS if you do the "Ultimate tempest " glitch where you buffer the crazy combo and then mash the attack button not the swordmaster button this will make tempest stay out for way longer periods depending on style

[@Tvoy_Action]

No, ultimate tempest has no changes on sss rank. I tested it. It will be longer if you hit some one, not depending on style

@@Tvoy_Action Really? wow i didnt know that thanks man i learn something new everyday

[@MyNipplesArePointy]

​@@Tvoy_Action I was under the same belief as well. It always lasted longer when hitting an enemy compared to when hitting the air, but whenever I hit an enemy with it the Style would always reach SSS so I just assumed that it worked the same way with the Style rank like the rest of these. Thanks for clearing this up.

[@Yuschmuhck]

There's actually an even more obscure mechanic being shown here: When Dante reaches S rank and above, not only are his crazy combos extended, but all of his melee attacks become 5% faster. This multiplier sadly doesn't stack with Devil Trigger, and has no effect on guns (just like DT). Yes, this is real. I think it took over a decade to be discovered and you can see it in the video if you slow it down. It's most obvious if you compare Real Impact with Acid Rain.

[@velvetbutterfly]

I felt like he got faster when I was at higher rank but I assumed it was adrenaline messing with my perception

[@legionnaire97]

I guess it has become more noticable because of the new monitors/screens that we have now that has a higher resolution and faster refresh rates. Back then we're basically stuck with inferior technology. Even I assumed that the faster movement of dante at higher combo style was because of me mashing the buttons faster due to adrenaline.

[@MerryBlind]

Wow that is such a brilliant touch. Any idea if that’s also present in 4 and 5? I wish they would have built up on that kind of mechanic in those instalments. Would be cool if you gained like 2% attack and movement speed with every style rank.

I thought for a while that it was mostly taunts or visual effects when I had a higher style rating, then I started to notice the extra actions in my combos. I thought it was my imagination until I began toying with this in more and more. This confirms that Dante loves to style upon his foes, and has momentum in his combat skills. I never realized how much depth this combat system has until now as I’m still seeing more combo growth from high style that I hadn’t seen before. I’ve been playing this franchise for over twelve years now.

[@frorociousexpress]

along with the style meter increasing the duration of moves, if youre in Dante's regular outfit, when you go into DT you'll get different properties based on what weapon you have equipped. off the top of my head I remember that Cerberus made you move/attack faster and Beowulf gave you a defensive boost

[@PickleAndPearBTBM]

you don't need the regular outfit, but yes this is true. Rebellion's DT bonus is slow falling (Lockon+Jump), Cerberus DT bonus is running speed and attack speed increase, Agni & Rudra DT bonus is extra elemental damage, Nevan DT bonus is faster passive healing via Devil Trigger, and Beowulf's DT bonus is super armor and reduced damage

[@wesleygriffiths8748]

Also certain weapons do bonus damage to bosses. Nevan for example is very weak to Cerberus, as are Agni and Rudra. Cerberus takes bonus damage from Agni and Rudra, and if you’re playing as Vergil, Yamato does bonus dark damage to Beowulf.

[@thebigchungus4515]

Transformers Devastation also has a similar mechanic known as Overdrive, the flashing Autobot logo on your HUD; hitting enemies without being hit fills it up and as it increases it speeds up your attack animations so you can complete strings and reach your Vehicle Attacks faster. At maximum you get to do Vehicle Attacks automatically from certain moves (Spin, Shove, single shots from heavier guns). You're meant to keep Overdrive up and blitz enemies because on high difficulties they are beyond ruthless.
