Why Vergil Is The Coolest Character In Video Games | Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition

Hello, I have finally made a new video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnrYi5xqjZd-gdU

[@superbrian7997]

Boy stop! Vergil ain’t nothing but a modern day Icarus. Accept instead of attempting to ascend to the heavens he descended to the hells. Every Shonen Protagonist loves a challenge to help them grow stronger but willingly entering an environment with nothing but hostile entities to your fathers name and all of his bloodline is downright suicidal! And Vergil discovered just like that good ole white man said, “You’re not that guy.” Thankfully the creators of Devil May Cry franchise didn’t go easy on Vergil. He paid dearly for his arrogance and hubris. He was tormented and enslaved in hell to Mundus for over a decade. Sidelined from truly living for over 20 years. Missing out on a real life in his 20’s and 30’s. Which should’ve been some of the best years of his life. His quest for greater power ruined his life. And there’s nothing cool at all about that or him. Vergil is a loser. And his losses are what’s most notable and memorable about the character. While Dante is a consistent winner and high achiever in life. Dante banished Mundas. Defeated Argosax. Rocked Vergil’s sh!t. Slayed the Savior. While all Vergil has ever really done is “F*ck around and find out that he’s not that guy.”

The summoned swords acting like completely detached entities from Vergil is definitely one of my favorite aspects about them. Almost every single aspect of his kit looks like he's barely putting in effort to pull off, and the summoned swords not requiring any gesture or even acknowledgement from Vergil really sells that.

[@thejoaquindead9515]

Honestly, both Dante and Vergil’s summon swords are one of my favorite parts of their combat. Vergil, like you said, and Dante for the support it gives him. The way his swords aid him is creative. When doing any multi-stab attack, a sword would go in every time he pulls away. When doing a stinger, his swords form a drill around his main sword and form tightly to make a second, final thrust. DMC5 just made me fall in love with summon swords

In DMC 3 was reason u unlocked Vergil AFTER beating it on like 2nd or max difficulty. You proved u can manage so let loose now.

[@JozefLucifugeKorzeniowski]

​@@darthprodigal9401vergil is only good in DMC3 if you don't know how to exploit all the bugs that made it through QC as dante. if you know how to break dmc3 dante you can melt your way through even DMD (the hardest difficulty). here's a couple; the latter one is one i think only i have discovered but its the best projectile dmg possible: if you equip shotgun and mash jump and shoot while above an enemy's head youll repeatedly jump off the enemy and blast it with the shotgun at the same time very quickly. for solid damage. pretty good on vergil 1 and 2. this one will give you arthritis and spinabifida in your fingers but its the fastest way to shoot the shotgun, spiral, and artemis and, especially with spiral, just melts everything; gotta be in royal guard, with your preferred gun equppied, then you have to mash (on the playstation) circle and square together as fast as you can, the rhythm might need adjusting depending on the gun but royal guard's block can be instantly cancelled into shooting a gun and somehow cancels more frames of shooting a gun than even switch canceling. also different devil forms of dante move at different speeds. cerberus devil form doesnt have a double jump but in this form dante does everything the fastest, runs, shoots, attacks, you can use this to maximize my previous tip. try em out

The primary method of filling the concentration gauge isn't combos. The primary method is _walking menacingly around the enemy._ That's right. It charges up when you walk (i.e. partially deflect stick so you don't run) while locked onto an enemy. Any running stops the charge and missed attacks deplete it. It's basically the gauge showing how cool you are.

I actually think Dante & Vergil still look like twins in DMC5, however I theorize that their difference in appearance can be attributed to their vastly differing lifestyle paths, as well as the the distinct and separate environments in the they inhabit.

Dante & Vergil don’t look alike anymore because Dante is a winner and Vergil is a loser. And Dante can’t have that chump Vergil ever being mistaken for the Greatest Demon Hunter of All-Time that Dante is. In spite of how different their lives turned out. I absolutely love how much Dante still loves his brother Virgil. Even though the differences between them are beyond one being good and the other being evil. Dante’s life is defined by his victories whereas Vergil’s life is defined by his failures. I really do think a great DLC for DMC5 should be made about this incredible juxtaposition between these two brothers. Because I absolutely love how much more humble Vergil is in DM5. He’s been through some sh!t and knows now more than ever that he’s not that guy.

The not-so-identical twins thing actually makes sense. I have two little cousins that are getting more and more easy to identify because of how much they differ from eachother in comparision to when they where younger.

[@bleachedout805]

Identical kinds stop being fully identical once development occurs so they have a 5% genetic difference due to mutations. Also, the fetus that develops first will likely absorb more nutrients thus developing healthier and with fewer mutations or defects while the weaker twin gets more deprived as the pregnancy nears its full term. These developmental differences create subtle distinctions between the offspring and add to that lifestyle and yeah one twin can be Vergil and the other Dante. I think people are just made because Vergil is the Chad.

@@bleachedout805 5% genetic differences due to mutation? Were did they develop? Near Chernobyl? That’s 310 million basepairs undergoing a…permanent change in the entire diploid genome by the way you described it. Are you talking about accumulated mutations because otherwise I find that hard to believe. Is that the total occurrences of mutations including DNA repair? Say that we really are going for 5% genetic difference spread over the entire genome, it doesn’t really matter if mutations occur in non coding areas, or areas irrelevant to gene expression or in the long run to transcription to phenotypical effect. Just imagine if one of those mutations is a non-sense mutation. That would do a whole lot more than making vergil and dante look different. No matter how you twist or turn it, capcom made a bad call to have a totally different face model for an identical twin. And vergil is the chad? Lol, he is such a beta. The dude slaughtered millions while dante literally absorbed sparda’s power. Vergil keeps tiffing about having power to protect, so I ask, who did vergil protect? That’s right, himself.

[@nanathedelta8561]

The reason why people like Vergil despite him only showing in one game is because he’s such an honorable badass character. he lives with his own sense of honor til the very end, which is something extremely rare to find in our world. he doesn’t use gun, he never attack you from behind, he want to fight you fair and square. People says it’s hard to relate with Vergil but I disagree. you don’t have to get your mother killed to understand him. just ask yourself “have I ever been in the situation where I really want power to change the circumstance regardless of control factor ?” Let’s take a look at Vergil. he’s a tortured soul who scarred by the past. always blame himself for everything. his mother died and he blamed himself for not powerful enough to save her. these kind of mindset is indeed, extremely toxic to mental health but instead of sulking, he used it as a driven force. hence the famous line “where’s your motivation ?” that’s why he despises Dante (yet still deeply care for him) for his carefree attitude and try to be different from him. what is Dante fighting for ? is he just do it for the sake of doing it ? you can clearly see Dante being childish, joking around in DMC3. he doesn’t give a shit about anything until Lady slap some sense into him by talking about family. to Vergil, Dante doesn’t seem to care about their mother at all. of course, in our view. we might interpret that he left the past behind because no matter what he does, his mother isn’t going to come back or it’s his way of coping by trying to make fun of everything, to forget the pain. If you think about it. Why Sparda left Yamato, his main weapon and the key of everything that happens in DMCverse to Vergil ? I believe Sparda knows that Vergil represents his pride, honor and determination. Oh, one more thing. human like us, are curiosity animal. our brain loves surprise and reward ourself everytime we see unexpected thing. so, when we see Vergil being such a dork, it brings us a smile. I means.. to think that a very serious & levelheaded character like Vergil love dancing to classic music, being a poetry nerd and goes crazy on violin solo.

Vergil's Meter fills just by standing near enemies. It fills faster, the closer you are to enemy. The key here is walking - if you run you lose meter, you need to just walk and teleport! It boosts not only your damage, but also range! The falling swords do not hold enemies in place, they rather slow time to, almost, a stop. Also Void Slash does the same!

[@zffrailgun1630]

A few corrections/details: You can block by just holding lock-on, no need to time it properly. All that matters is how much Concentration you have. Also, that example you showed from Sunhi wasn't a block, it was a parry he did by doing the first attack of Yamato Combo A. You can do up to 4 Judgement Cuts in a row without needing to use teleports. You do a normal one and through it you perform 3 Just Judgement Cuts. Otherwise you can just do 3 Just Judgement Cuts. The point is, you aren't limited to 2. JCE, HoE and Deep Stinger's limitations are that they need LV2 Concentration and a max SDT gauge, regardless if you're in SDT or not. IF you're in SDT while doing them, you only lose 1/4 of your SDT meter, meaning you can stack an ultimate 4 times in a row. If you're in your human form, doing an ultimate will deplete the entire gauge but you'll get some DT in exchange. The new cutscenes are pre-rendered while the normal cutscenes are in-engine, so that's why they look different. No Bury the Light? My motivation decreased by 50%. Excellent video, glad to see the chads who know that Vergil is best boi.

10:55 Okay so the reason the Mirage Edge acts so similar to Rebellion is because it's actually just the Force Edge from DMC1 that Vergil got his hands on for a small amount of time in DMC3. Also in Vergil mode in that game you get to use the Force Edge. Now at this point in the story, the Force Edge has become the Devil Sword Sparda which Dante absorbed so that's why it just a glowy version of it. It's like an echo or a "mirage" ;)

[@corbino9855]

One correction I would make about the concentration gauge: It doesn't just go up simply by "doing well" or "doing bad", although that's certainly part of it. The concentration gauge goes up and down based on very specific actions that you do, and makes your attacks more powerful based on how high your concentration level is at. For example, walking slowly or not moving during combat, landing your attacks, dodging, and parrying, all make your concentration meter go up, which make all of your attacks more powerful, which makes you do better in combat. Doing the opposite of these things, however, like taking damage, or missing your attacks, or running around without locking on to your enemies, makes the meter go down, which makes your attacks less powerful, which makes it harder to defeat enemies. Playing as Vergil is not just about playing *as* Vergil, it's also about playing the *way* Vergil would play, the same way he does when you fight him as a boss. It's about adapting to his style and understanding how he fights as a character that makes him even more fun when you master him. Vergil is the ultimate test of skill: When you fight well, he gets better, but when you do badly, he's not as strong, so you have to make sure that you have a good enough understanding of the combat system to fully maximize Vergil's skillset. Can you land your attacks consistently? How well can you time your dodges? Can you chain together combos quickly while switching between weapons? How well can you input ranged attacks? When should you use your Sin Devil Trigger? How well can I use my normal devil trigger to create more awesome combos? Even if you're only a half decent scrub like me whose only barely past halfway into his DMD campaign with Vergil, once you get these basics down, the question is no longer "What can Vergil do?" but "What can *I* do *with* Vergil?" Sorry, this kinda turned into a big rant, but I think it's important to understand the basics of how Vergil works in order maximize the full *P O W E R* and *M O T I V A T I O N* the character has to offer.

Vergil cemented himself in that position all the way back in DMC 3, bear with me. So throughout DMC 3 we (the players) had the same behavior when it came to the weapons. We get a new one, we try it, we meet a challenge we can't overcome with it, we switch back to our familiar load out and throw down for real. In the second Vergil battle, he starts off using Beowulf exclusively until phase 2. And this is where it happens. He switches to Yamato. In that one action he not only mirrored us, but also acknowledged our skill in tandem with Dante's strength. Despite popping DT and blustering that we aren't worthy, he already showed beyond a doubt. Dante, and by extension the player, ARE worthy as his opponent. All conveyed through gameplay.
