Block Anything with Royal Guard | Tutorial 

When he said the parry was tight, i didn’t think it was *that* tight the enemies weapon literally has to be in your mouth before you get a perfect parry

"A Royal Guard battle taken to the extreme." *goes to fight Vergil* Didn't he suffer enought bullying? XD

The only style I ever had in DMC 3 was *shoot it til it's dead because I'm a horrible player* style So I guess it's time to try something new

Trickster is my favourite due to its versatility; You can avoid taking damage outright far more easily than with normal dodge or Royal Guard, increased manoeuvrability all around, letting you scale walls, air dash and teleport, as well as allowing you to be generally faster on ground, and with greater manoeuvrability comes greater combo variety as well. I think it generally makes the game more enjoyable in most situations.

Obviously the greatest style is Royalguard, but Gunslinger is surprisingly powerful and often overlooked in my opinion.

Hearing about buffering royal guard increased my brain size by like 20% I've never known about this.

Thanks, this helped me better understand Royal guard, when I first picked up the game, I thought it only blocked and didn't do damage, so I neglected it. But now that I see it's full potential, I'll be sure to pick up that style.

When I was young I used to like gunsligner more than the others. Now I'm not so sure. RG is super fun, SM is so powerful and TK is so cool. I still play the ps2 version so I don't have that option of having all 4 styles in-game.

This guy is good. He makes it look so easy. Believe me I have tried and I get killed every time for taking too much damage just trying to block.

Damn I feel like downloading this game again just for royal guard, never bothered with it when I was young but I kinda want to try it now

I knew jump buffering rg, but I didnt know it counted as a perfect block every time. I thought you still had I frames and thus just didnt get staggered

The second I learned you can push agni and rudra with royal guard in between almost all their attacks made the fight from overwhelming to simple lol

Can it Block the divorce paper?

I know it's been a while, but this is hands down the best tutorial on Royalguard that i have seen (it has everything someone needs to know and a little bit more), and i think it would be awesome of you did a similar one on all the other styles.

The mistake that i did during Royal guard was not pressing the style button hard enough. We should hold down firmly the style button not to tap it like in Sekiro's deflect.

I seen your speed run and been watching cause it and I love dmc 3 bro you’re the proverbial goat in my eyes bro

Your twitter comment brought me here, may or may not reference this in my next video if you're cool with that xD this is such a cool mechanic

Oh yes, this is just what I needed! Thank you. It's looking like royal guard is my favorite style now lol.

Royalguard is the best! It's my fav style because of how absurd and badass it looks while executing. And awesome video, thank you Waifu.

I recently got HD collection for PS4, man this is so useful! and very recent video for DMC3 standards! thanks for the video it does help!

Great video waifu runs 👌💯 Your channel is sick bro. It’s weird because I never really used royal guard until now, and tbh it’s after playing sekiro that gave me the idea. But yeah man having a blast with royal guard 🎮👍💯

Thanks bro, this was very informative

Trickster is my favorite, followed by Royal Guard, Sword Master, and Gun Slinger.

Yes, do more style tutorials, please!!!

Wow thank that was super useful information 😊

Me: *Picked Royal Guard as his first style because I'm more of a defensive player not knowing how difficult it would make my first playthrough.* Me a Few Months Later: *Trimphantly defeats Vergil 3 with nothing but Rebellion and Royal Guard.*

Great video 👍

Thank you for the tutorial! I started playing this game again to set out on completing a childhood dream, beating dmc3 dmd mode. This will definitely help!!

Perfect releases make vergil 3 a cakewalk on dmd. Top notch guide

gonna use this info to yoink the switch wr, its free...right?

I love how this game is still so relevant

Thats a lot of Damage, its sounds familiar.

i actually used royal guard againt the first boss because it dealt alot of damage and i wanna continue my combos so yea thank you for this tutorial

I've tried Royal Guard once and and I don't understand this how to use it better. So I never used it throughout my gameplay. But now I understand how to use it better.

i found out that my style is royal guard after trying it out its just great

Royal Guard helped me get through Lady boss fight on hard, Royal Guard the Rockets and Back style the Hysterics missiles. :)

Thanks a lot

I can tell that waifu is retiring when he uploaded hes fav games running fundamentals

4:03 to 4:35 dante: whew....now THAT was a workout.

Imagine you're a dark souls player who beat the whole series by only parrying

Cool video 👍😎

I did not played royal guard back in the days because I was so engaged with swordmaster. Now, after playing a good amount of Sekiro it is so satisfying to parry almots anything in DMC3. It's svery funny and rewarding in terms of style points.

I literally only use sword master maybe I’ll use royal guard now

Sword master used to be my favorite but then I got to the final Vergil fight, and was basically forced to learn royal guard in order to beat it

I had no idea that royal guard was that good wow

I’m a basic bitch with trickster. The mobility and easier dodging is too valuable for me to give up. Unless I’m purposely styling, I usually main rebellion with Cerberus or Beowulf so I don’t necessarily need the extra options from sword master since both of those give you a lot of options if you practice your jump cancels.

I actually love using Royal Guard I can't get enough of it. I struggle with the timing when going up against Virgil. So my question is if there's a perfect block and perfect release...is there a perfect block for the ultimate shield?

This will be really helpful in Cerberus fight because I died many times fighting him lol

When I first played devil may cry, I played five first then got the HD collection along with four special edition the one style I can't put down in dmc3 for me is royalgaurd I feel like an unstoppable tank who can decimate any demon in my path when I went up against vergil 2 I royal released and devil trigger explosion instantly ended the fight and it felt like I was a god

I like all styles of dmc3 but i love swordmaster and Royalguard they are my favorite styles

fascinating

I didn't know that you can cancel animation by using Royal Guard in DMC3. Been trying to do that thing since I saw it in one of those MAD combo videos, I thought I just need to push the triangle button at the right moment. Thanks!

Another dudes video (who needed to watch this in order to get good at royal guard) brought me here originally and now I can’t remember what it was or who it was by. Dx I am here once again to try and jog my terrible memory.

thx I wanted and was planning on spending hours on Royal guard until I watched this video now I can not spend a shit ton of hours on mastering it but will spend months of waiting for my new controller to arrive cuz my controller stopped working and spend more hours on leveling up Royal guard

my favorite style is gunslinger I'll come back after trying royal guard according to your tips

Brooooooo I've been preaching about how dmc 3 is the best

I love how the only time Vergil landed a hit was after he got “a little motivated” lol

I remember playing coop with my friend on ps2 pick doppelganger style an unlimited devil trigger an press start on 2nd controller you can control the doppelganger with the 2nd controller while player 1 is dante pretty fun

Royalguard has a move that *heals* you?! I usually always use Tricker and sometimes Swordmaster. Guess I need to practice using Royalguard more now.

Royalguard é uma mecânica que funciona apenas em situações específicas. Seria bom se ele oferecesse uma framedata detalhada dela contra os inimigos, principalmente os chefes aonde ela é mais útil

God tier vid, wish 12 year old me found this back in the day

Quicksilver is literally HAX

I kinda love gun stinger because it still feels like 3 has the most creative version of it. In particular I like wild stomp and gun stinger, which was sadly nerfed in 4 or and 5. Point blank is also pretty nuts.

Thanks a for this I remember playing this game when I was 8 on ps2 but I could never figure out royal guard Now all these years later I finally played and beat dark souls 1 and 3 so now I’m going back to this to git gud I got gud in devil may cry 4 I beat every mode even hell and hell and I got almost all achievements so this is next

Trickster its really fun and simple

impressive how this game is ahead of his time

*Coooooooollll!*

Most people: Royalguard is a defensive style RG: B E E G damage

i mean every style has it's own advantages and all of them are cool to use but there's nothing better than sword master that you can perform really cool combos in level three specially with the Rebellion

dmc3 is the perfect game for replayability , from all the combos, styles , weapons and melees. there’s endless combos and sets you can do

my favorite style in dmc3 is swordmaster because idk i just feel way too limited without the extra moves it gives, which is why i couldn't really get into other styles in dmc3, thank god style switching is a thing in 4 and 5

Tbh I always just got used to using trickster lol but now I try and use them all and it’s made me a much better devil hunter lol

I think the most understood style is definitely Gunslinger because everyone understands that it's bad and won't do as much damage or be as useful as any other Style

you got yourself a sub the moment you said dmc 3 is your favorite game of all time

I've done dmc 5 rg only challenge. Used it fairly often in dmc 4 against the Angelo's but likewise with dmc 3, I just couldn't get the timing down right to do perfect guard consistently

Im getting better with it. Ive been playing through the first levels over and over again to learn, but cerberus still has full screen attacks you cant parry

Royal guard is not really as much as "High risk" but definitely high reward. The dodge timing is just the same with royal guard. And royal guard button can be pressed multiple time as a buffer or do jump/dodge buffer. Then there is Ultimate which is VERY useful for Bloody palace.

But using sword Master since on the switch remaster since its been years since I played any DMC but man, Transitioning between swordmaster and gunslinger is so much fun lol.

I passed dmc3 twice by trickster and gunslinger(damn gunslinger,damn Beowulf guns only),I learned to royal guard because I didn't understand it in the game so i switched to trickster.Royal guard wasn't easy for me because i used to dash

Damnit I should’ve recorded my Agni and rudra fight I used royal guard for the first time in there and I had them both stun locked at the same time in their resting animation then I beat them both at the same time because if I remember from playing the game on ps2 they have a second phase where one uses both swords I blocked almost every hit because I used the royal guard as a dark souls dodge and it worked

Trickster was my main style growing up but I was dogshit with royal guard

So I've been binge watching some of your videos for awhile now. I'm still relatively new to the DMC series, I've been playing DMC3 for about 4 months at this point and generally play it (as well as 4 and 5) in an aggressive and offensive style, usually I go with Swordmaster to extend combos or Trickster for more mobility. However, I'm interested in using more Royal Guard and play in a more defensive style. This video helped me get more insight in how to get better at the style. However, what advice would you give for somebody who generally plays offensively to try a more defensive style?

That’s major fingering Man U have good fingers good technique

definetly trickster you can escape anything

Ah, so when you time it right and there's a flash it means it's more of a parry and you don't take damage. I thought the flash meant you've opened up a counter window. I've been playing NGB for too long. The gold release where he actually charges through enemies is the actual power counter. I'm having trouble perfect blocking though. It's not when the attack animation starts or when it's just about to hit, it's somewhere inbetween. I'm used to having to block just before the hit connects like in other games. But in this, it's usually too late by then. How do use the Royal Guard palm strike thing well? I've noticed it can do quite a bit of damage, you don't have to block first it can be more of an attack. I was hoping it would guard break, but it doesn't seem to. I've heard people use the other styles more, but for me, even though I'm near a complete beginner, I like it, because I've always wanted a guard button in the previous DMC games. It's just not as easy to implement. When your surrounded by enemies all hitting you at different times, I'd like to be able to SFIII Ryu parry every attack one after the other, but it doesn't quite work that way. I'd like the timings to be a little less tight. Even if it was loosened by a few extra frames.

Award master stayal

I’m not sure if you’ll see this but, I just started playing dmc 3 special edition on console (this is my very first time playing dmc 3) and I instantly wanna go into the royal guard style. I know it’s the hardest style to learn but I wanna try to learn it, is this a bad idea? Or should I try learning the basics of the game first/ try other styles?

I just like parry and this is most close things

I loved defeating beowulf and agni and rudra with royal guard

i wish Dante could use Royal Guard in cutscenes

I've never tested this since I'm a normie that plays swordmaster mainly, but if you block and attack in DMD difficulty, does the damage u take actually kills you in one shot? I'm gonna test it out when I'm out off work

Ive been playing dmc3 since i was a kind on the ps2 now im replaying it on my pc, and its the first time using RG (on very hard mode) kinda complicated hahah

I love gunslinger and swordmaster

Royal guard is a good style for health preservation and quick dmg gunslinger is good for gun moves and stun swordsmaster is good for melting hp bars and c9mbos trickster good for dodging and running

I gravitated towards Swordmaster since it let me use some pretty sick moves with all my other weapons. I just never get why they added Royals Guard till i played dmc5, it's useful but a pain in the ass to master.

I got bored of the game because I mastered every style, beat the game in both vergil and dante in all difficulty’s and spedrun the game. But i have never touched royal guard so thank you

Is it possible to launch dmc3 on modern pc windows 10 somehow? I tried original and pirate versions but they didnt work or had some controls errors...

Favorite style so far is trickster but now I’m gonna try this royal guard

baby= gunslinger noob= trickster pro=royal guard.

I would do this but the game crashes on the HD crashes when I try to play as Dante :(
