Vergil can pretty much do everything Sam and Raiden can do, but much stronger.

[@RickyAdityanto]

Here's what I saw from them: Raiden is an acrobatic one, a little bit crude but his hand/feet sword combination makes it seems fluid. Very unorthodox if I may say. Sam is the powerful one. Seems even more crude but it's from his wide-high impact-powerful stroke style. Combining with kick attack, he would really suited for ronin class, brute yet fast, doing moves that makes you say "hey, isn't that cheating?". But it's still "tame" comparing with Raiden that makes you say "yo, wtf that moves?". So, he's actually more orthodox than Raiden. While Vergil.... Is the definition of masterful swordmanship that we would love to imagine, amped with godly speed and abilities. You feel the power not from the force but by his godly precision, efficiency, and speed making his moves feel so smooth yet deathly sharp. It comes back to someone's preferences, whether they like an acrobatic or powerful moves when deciding which one is better.... But deep down we knows Vergil is the best.

[@AkxerxAMV]

[@vfrostbytev2284]

[@gannielukks1811]

Sam is the most with samurai style, mixed with some Capoeira and Judo.

[@RickyAdityanto]

@@gannielukks1811 agreed, Sam is actually the most orthodox among them. Many of his attack are actually doable (except ofc his mid-air combo) and based on style that focused on power. Also, real samurai also learn taijutsu which means his kick attack is still make sense. Yes, Vergil iaido/sheath attack is soo smooth but the concept of his moveset is "godly swordmanship that we would love to imagine" and that means... Not humanly possible.

[@Ze_N00B]

I disagree on Vergil. Both in his Judgement Cut and in his Stinger, you can tell that he wastes a lot of time with random, unaimed strikes all over the place, almost like he moves too fast to see the enemy, for which he compensates by striking everywhere they might be. Raiden and Sam however both either deliver one singular strike, or one consistent motion more in line with the precision and elegance that one would expect from a swordmaster.

[@BloodyBaseballs6053]

What these 3 have in common is that they started becoming strong at a very young age. Raiden after his parents were killed then was turned into a child soldier Sam's father dead when he was at an early age, forcing him to survive through the deadly streets of Brazil Vergil after his mother died which then marks the beginning of his search for power

In my opinion, Jetstream Sam is defiantly the flashiest and most intimidating opponent, especially with hit giant robot arm. But Vergil could easily wipe out Both Raiden and Sam without breaking a sweat. The guy can literally teleport and unleash hundreds of sword strikes in milliseconds.

[@bluphenyx]

But the thing is, so can Raiden. During Raiden's gameplay, there is a LOT of slowed-down perspective. But if you take a good look at the first few cutscenes of MGRR, Raiden casually creates a dozen slashes to bring down his surroundings in a makeshift barricade without barely breaking a sweat, and that's in his old form, before Blade Mode was permanently slowed down in his perspective as long as he had extra juice. Raiden, so long as he is in his new body, could probably handle Vergil for at least a minute or two. Not saying he would win since Vergil still has godlike endurance and bullshit demon power, but he could certainly hold his own for a good minute, I think.

Interesting fact, Samuel actually isnt a cyborg like Raiden is. (until he gets his arm chopped off by armstrong, anyway) with enhancements like Raiden's he would probably be the strongest metal gear character in existance. Also if the yamato was made into an HF blade, Vergil would be (more) unstoppable

Depends on the physics. In reality, making a blade HF would make it LESS effective.

[@GamingZ_enith]

I'm planning on making a video on this sometime soon, but it gets very complicated the way you compare them. If we are going completely and utterly on played gameplay power level, Jetstream Sam I think has the upper hand against with nanopaste, blade mode, defensive offence, and being able to parry virtually every attack (and return the damage severely). As well as running faster, jumping higher, and generally has overall better mobility. Now, as soon as you add in cutscenes or lore into it, you throw a wrench into the metal gears of balance, now vergil moves faster than light (?) which... I mean technically speaking yea, would throw a planet on vergil's side of the scale. Here I would argue that Sam's instinct would help, as he is seen narrowly avoiding an invisible chainsaw without hearing it until the last possible second, but it's the speed of light, how do you dodge that. Here lies my second issue, Vergil isn't faster than the speed of light, i can't find any legitimate source that confirms this(if you can find confirmation on game or otherwise stated by game devs or whatever, tell me), and given the games setting, i don't think it would make sense. Also, judgement cut doesnt fit the bill, it's description is “Vergil moves and slashes everything in the field with such a speed that He appears multiple location at the same time” if this were faster than light, you wouldn't see him at all. I'm willing to admit that it is wickedly fast, but not anywhere near the speed of light. Which brings us back to the fight, could Sam defeat vergil at insanely fast speeds and/or parry or dodge judgement cut? This is debatable as there is no real way of determining Vergil's speed. If we go of of gameplay, yes, Sam could time his defensive offence right and just... dodge it. He is also seen dodging and deflecting bullets from what we can assume is a .50 bmg machine gun, which shoots at over 3000 fps.) Third issue, and this changes things for both sides equally, if we add in cutscenes and lore, then the health pool is effectively gone, since both parties are susceptible to human injuries (like losing an arm to a sword slash). This tips the balance toward Sam, as his sword defies reaction time of even superhumans (note how fast he cut off raidens arm in the prologue of the game, and the same to Armstrong, whose nanomachines protect him almost instantly on impact. This means that if Sam was able to cause Vergil to slip up, it would be effectively game over. I understand that this also means that Sam is also one shot, but I'm certain that if he is able to deflect the bullets of 20 guys shooting at him simultaneously, he can fight a guy who is, at best, a swordfighting bullet.

[@fluffyflare578]

I think the fastest feat for Vergil through cinematics is back in DMC3. Vergil fights with Dante under rainfall at a speed where we see the rain "stops" till the two pause and all the surrounding droplets just pop and burst. I know Earth's gravity is 9.8 m/s if I recall correctly so if we base off of cutscenes alone, then not as fast as light, but still pretty damn fast. I don't know if it'd be faster than deflecting bullets, especially since Sam is aware and anticipating it. There's actually a guy irl who managed to cut a fired BB, while still having to draw the blade out. So instinct and anticipation is a big factor. I'm not saying who would win in speed; just sharing info is all. Sam is still a bonafide badass. 🎉

Now do Dante and Bayonetta, Nero and Vi, and Vergil with Jeanne. Makes sense....no?

[@xecutor3459]

Personally I believe Sam is the best swordsman out of all of them. Being a swordsman isn’t always about being flashy but about being effective and decisive. Sam’s attacks are brutal but refined, he doesn’t need any powers to enhance his abilities and doesn’t use strange unorthodox methods like attaching a sword to his foot. The only reason Vergil is considered better is because he does a few small quick slashes with his sword and let’s his powers do the rest but if he didn’t have his powers he wouldn’t be doing half as good. Raiden is too crude and unorthodox with his style for it to be considered usable in real situations leaving Sam as the best of the 3

[@aduckonaplane3816]

What's the point in comparing them if they don't have their power? Its like saying raiden is a better swordsman than vergil if vergil didin't have a sword. Even without using the extent if his power, with no devil trigger and without abusing the yamato's power, in judgement cut end, vergil still moves so fast time slows down.

[@ape8572]

@@aduckonaplane3816 being a good swordsman does not equal being powerful, no doubt vergil is on a godlike power level, but swordsmanship is a skill they all have at a high level, and in my opinion magical and cybernetic powers are not included in swordsmanship, and I agree that sam looks like the best swordsman by far, he embodies the strong and smart fighter who only moves when he needs to, while vergil and raiden rely on their speed and zooming around the field like mosquitoes

[@aduckonaplane3816]

@@ape8572 being a swordsman means being good with weilding a sword. Vergil is so good at weilding his sword he transcends time. Vergil also doesn't actually run around much, he's a very calculated swordsman. And you can't just take away his power for a comparison. Its literally his blood.

@@aduckonaplane3816 you dont seem to understand at all what i'm saying so I will say it slower for you, using a sword is a skill, you give a literal god a sword he will be able to kill almost anything with a sword, you give a person who trained and fought with a sword a blade, and he might not be able to defeat the same creatures despite his mastery of the skill, that does not make the god a better swordsman, he is just stronger and happens to be using the sword, vergil doesnt transcend time because he is so good with his sword, he transcends time because of his demonic powers and his swords demonic powers, arguably anyone with the same ancestry could do the same as him given the same tool
