[@weirdyakuzafan]

I gotta say, I think this is the first true instance of "DMC"-type gameplay I've seen out of this game.

[@Sheba7660]

I think this is because I move around a lot. In my opinion, a sense of style comes mostly from the movement in the combo. The best DMC combos involve the player and the enemy flying around a lot, teleporting, launching, etc. If you just stay close to the enemy and dish out damage, it just doesn't look as appealing. Think of dance macabre with the rebellion - it's stylish for the first few times you do it, but it's so much cooler when you start flying, teleporting, jump canceling, and you only use dance macabre as a final touch to finish off a wave of enemies, and not the main part of the combo. Maybe I should do some video essays later on 🤔

[@weirdyakuzafan]

@@Sheba7660 That is all entirely true! But I was also thinking about the fact that it also looks... Optimal? Like it doesn't just look like something you'd do for the hell of it, it looks like a genuine strategy you might employ during this specific boss fight because it gives you actual advantages.

[@Sheba7660]

@@weirdyakuzafan Because it IS genuinely a good way to fight him. If you look at other rocket ride videos for this level, people play it waaaay to safe. They got the movement, but since it isn't agressive, it lacks that stylish punch. I think we're right on the money here.
