@@Lavastorm_ People say that because he’s usually the most powerful character in the games he’s in, makes mince meat of enemies and bosses. And it’s not just in Devil May Cry 5 it’s been like this since Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition on PS2. That would be the blueprint for playable Vergil in the future. In DmC: Devil May Cry Vergil’s Downfall this incarnation may have lost Force Edge and Beowulf but got some new moves for Yamato and to his movement like teleporting to locked on enemies. But it’s really DMC4SE where they really figured out Vergil’s kit. In fact with how versatile he is Vergil is the easiest character to learn. He may not have as many weapons as Dante but he makes up for it with again versatility that mops the floor with demon fodder and bosses with just a little bit of practice. With Yamato combos, tweaks to Beowulf and his screen clearing nuke Judgement Cut End Vergil breaks DMC4. And the same can easily be said for DMC5. Hell outside of the DMC series, when he was in Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3 Vergil was the most overpowered character in the game if not outright broken for years.

Sure it had the same cutscenes but these teams didnt receive the budget for those kinds of expansions. We got what we got regardless. As for dmc5 there is fucking 5 characters.....again their budget goes mainly to gameplay and polish. Dmc5 was technically all about vergil as it is literally his character study.

@@deadlyninja112 I'm not sure what you're getting at here. I never said DmC is better than other DMC games, nor did I say reboot Vergil is a better character. My whole point is that DmC simply put more dedication into their dlc by making playing reboot Vergil a unique experience. Not only unique to his lore, but also unique to his gameplay, which other special editions and DMC5's Vergil dlc failed to do. Vergils campaign gameplay is simply not unique enough to him, that's all I was trying to say. DMC5 Vergil dlc is generally a step in the good direction but still left much to be desired. Funny how you used V as an example of giving Vergil his own unique gameplay, noticed how even V got his own levels specifically designed for him? Playing as V could be taken as playing with Vergil's unique lore but not his unique gameplay mechanics. It would require completely new levels for that. I'm not saying it's objectively bad the way it is. When compared to its DmC counterpart, Ninja Theory clearly put more effort in their reboot Vergil dlc, Level design-wise, as opposed to 4se and 5se's complete lack of unique level designs. DMC5 would only be better if the some amount of dedication was involved when making Vergil dlc and DMC5SE. How's that a hard concept to grasp?

Dante is like a jack of all traits and a master at some of those traits but Vergil is a master of a single fighting style since he mainly uses only one weapon whereas Dante keeps using multiple weapons which is why Vergil is just an overall better swordsman. Also Dante focuses more on brute force whereas Vergil is the opposite and focuses mainly on speed and precision which is why he is so fun to play with. Dante canonically still has all the abilities he gained from other games like that telekinetic ability from dmc 3 which also used in the first cutscene for the first game etc. He doesn't use all those abilities from the previous games because he would be broken but the creators should add it anyway considering how broken Vergil's gameplay is. They should've added all of Dante's abilities outside the devil arms to make it somewhat even since they're around the same power level in the lore so making Vergil way better in gameplay mechanics makes no sense to me.

[@haydenblazier6751]

Dante is in fact not cannonically a vergin wanna correct that read devil may cry manga. Which is cannonically connected.

[@Lethal0809]

Its explicitilly stated that dante in his younger years before the events of 3 and around that same time line inherited spardas love for earth women and there is a scene of women talking about dante and how attractive he is one of them warns the other to be carefull cuz he is a bit rough though different words where used im just keeping it clean

[@KiraAsakura14]

I love how players and non gamers alike respect The Storm. I haven't played this game for years and I still get hyped when people talk about it. Truly a game of an era.

[@Thonato420]

hot take: vergil is not really broken, he's just easier to use than dante now with dante, if you're good with him, you can clear bosses in under a minute I still love both of these brothers equally tho

It's been a while since my people talked about DMC5 and Vergil...and that puts a smile on my face. I love the DMC fandom, I love the storm that us approaching, and I love Vergil and Dante.

[@Nematoda4ever]

i think Dante are not virgin, i mean, he's regular customer of strip club, not flustered seeing woman' naked body, and saying to Vergil "guess you were young once too" basically implying that Vergil are normal man like him... yeah, Dante probably already lost his virginity long time ago, he just didn't like bound to relationship, he's free man that doing what he likes whenever he want after all. its more suprising that Vergil having kid, i remember when playing DMC4, i can't believe that Vergil, who having Power fetish, actually having sex with a woman and at young age on top of that... lol

This is deadass the FOURTH time Vergil was made playable in an updated re-release of a game (DMC3, DMC4, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, DMC5) and you're actually surprised that his streak of being CRAZY OP continues unbroken? Have you not been paying attention? It's VERGIL. This is just what he does.

[@rofibhoi9788]

DMC 5 is the best Character action game ever. In the overall action game genre, it's the second best. Right behind DOOM Eternal. Ultrakill might end up taking the 2nd spot tho. OR, maybe even the first spot. Oh BTW, in 2019, DMC 5 actually had a very strong competitor, Astral chain. Easily one of the top 10 action games ever.

[@deadlyninja112]

Not strong enough - Vergil (1997)

[@Sincleaver]

Nah DMC 5 is straight up just the best action game ever made.

[@rofibhoi9788]

@@Sincleaver Nope, it falls behind DOOM Eternal from pretty much every aspect if you compare the combat. Eternal has far superior combat space design, enemy AI/design, variety, it's far more dynamic, and overall has a much higher skill ceiling. Not to mention that you don't even get to play half of DMC 5 as Dante, the character that actually makes DMC's combat what it is.

[@rofibhoi9788]

My favorite extra tidbit about Vergil always being released in Special Editions is that back in like the mid 2000s shortly after DMC3, there was some java mobile games based on the series and one of them had a special edition that released a little later. What did this edition add? Vergil.

[@juniorosborne1470]

introduction of a new character? DAMN ITS LIKE VERGIL NEVER EXISTED.

AND IF SOMEONE CAN MASTER HIM HE LOOKS SO MYCH COOLER THAN DANTE ITS NOT EVEN FUNNY. AND UR PROFILE PIC CHARACTER IS BASICALLY A FODDER TO DANTE AND VERGIL BOTH. REMOVE THAT CLOWN LOL.

I’ve recently got DMC5 (first DMC game as well) and am currently getting my ass beaten by Vergil. Can’t wait to finally use him later. Although I need to *significantly* improve at the game. Also yeah, “Bury the Light” blows every other song in the game out of the water. It’s godly
