Foolish Motivation | A DMC Special Edition Retrospective 

No problem Casey, thanks for the work you did with Bury the Light and Devil Trigger! Favorite themes of the series.

Holy shit it's the man himself

thank YOU for all the great art you contributed to this game!

Bury the Light is literally the thing of musical dreams for a theory nerd like me

*claps for legendary song*

Well with the exception of the flying skill. Imagine flying like a jet with his sdt form... That would be cool LMAO!

@@platzstarlight who needs flying when you can just i-frame pretty much anytime

@@platzstarlight I'd imagine that's what Deep Stinger is meant to represent. It also trivializes Furies on DMD

@@tahraki4918 I rarely use deep stinger on furies because I usually timed my Hell on Earth right when it spawns if I am lazy or straight out just play parry with it till it die for dt gauge and style points... But what I meant was the skill the final boss Vergil is using, the one where he charges for awhile then fly out from the map and tries knocking you down for 3 times.

@@platzstarlight I know. I was trying to say that Deep Stinger is probably meant to replicate the Vergil Plane.

noice

It's absurd that Vergil's supposed to be this focused and elegant "Win in a few hits" kind of guy but in-game he's just the "Spam OP moves that make you invincible or let you JC from across the room also never stop mashing summoned swords EVER" guyy.

I knew I recognized the "sexiest voice in the world." Super Meat Booooy! Love your videos, man

I remember when they said that Crew Cut was a reference/cameo to another game. And we never figured out what it was.

@@JasonGodwin69 but aren't bosses that you can recruit later always like this?

@@JasonGodwin69 Fun fact: Every DMC character has the ability to be brain dead and let you mash the big hit buttons to get through. However, doing it in a cool way is what makes each character wildly different. Dante swaps between weapons, Nero times his Max-Act and focuses on charging Blue Rose, Vergil has his accuracy and skillful play. Or you can use Stinger and Thousand Cuts with Dante, mash attacks with Nero and spam Swords with Vergil. V kinda can play the same no matter what and get easy style, obviously.

I regret nothing. Being on the receiving end only makes me want to royal release twice as hard

Imagine if we could play as dante vs dante and royal release his royal release I wonder what would happen

@@HeyMomonia You can do it in DMC4

@@SKR-97 I will never be able to beat dmc4's bloody palace thanks to the f*cking blitz Always out of time thanks to those fuckers

@@HeyMomonia Ah, I see You're a mad scientist as well

Interestingly, in DMC3, Lady and Dante were able to use a grappling hook (the latter using it as a style move to pull enemies towards him).

@@cadethumann8605 The way Lady uses the Bayonett-Grapple is similar to Jacques in Onimusha 3. Speaking of Onimusha: - DSD's Sword Formations are identical to Soki's special Swords abilities in Onimusha 4; - Balrog's Blow Mode is similar to Robertos punches; - And Neros DT is identical to Soki's Black Onimusha God Transformation. The funny thing is: just like Dante, Samanosuke the MC of the Series, is the older "Red Demon" that passed the torch to Soki the "Blue Demon" just like Nero.

@@solracstormhunter3023 If only Capcom gave 2 shits about Onimusha. I found the combat in those games, especially 1 and 2, very deep and rewarding. Onimusha 2 was one of the hardest games I had ever played at the time but I was patient, learned the mechanics, and consistently got better at every hurdle I had encountered. Also fuck that creepy nemesis doll in the Xbox version of Onimusha 1.

Funnily enough, that's exactly what Pinnacle of Combat did. Not only did they give her way more melee attack options with the rest of her weapons, but they also gave her WAY more satisfying and snappy movement options. Both Kalina Ann and her Shotgun can essentially be used as midair Trickster dashes. I really hope that game becomes available worldwide so I can play with her. Or at least make her playable in 5 with these new changes.

“unf”

Now I'm a little motivated B O O M

that’s the “fuck off I ain’t got time for this bullshit” move

@@brancolt_ I have no time to style on you, here take a full powered flash of light at your eyes

Precisely.

@@nathanielbaldevino5364 Urizen more like your reason to cheese this fight.

It’s great that they gave him his own series after cancelling the main one.

;_;

I guess now its Woolie Vs franchise

4

;_;7 F

Probably the change in technology since all clothes are scanned into the game now. Capcom didn’t want to create any new assets. In fact there’s a ton of reused ones across all RE Engine games.

@@SaberRexZealot Remake2 had multiple customes

What does miffed mean? I’ve never heard that before

@@Darkstar18773 miffed means annoyed.

Let down

Nah. DMC3 you have to at least know how to use him. He doesn’t have BS aoe moves

@kollie79 They don’t even compare to Judgement Cut, Hell on Earth, etc

Is he OP in mvc3?

I used Vergil in DMD and I only made it to mission 19, with Dante only mission 2. So yes, Vergil is broken af and we love him.

@kollie79 ah ok then

He really deserves it.

DMC is as much of Vergil's series as it is Dante's, he's just yet to receive his own game and I'm glad that they actually build him up for all these years.

My exact thought since i first played him He needs his own game He still needs a redemption arc an actual one from all the sins he made since the deginning

The DMC Community has been pleading for years for Vergil to have his own game. DMC 5: SE finally flushed out his moveset too. Give him a game where he gets revenge on a revived Mundus. No forced character switching, just 20 kick-ass levels of Vergil.

Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3

Well, mods can only really be added on pc so disappointing

That's because Vergil is the best girl

@@SlavoidUkr Best boy. Vergil is male.

@@TheFLAMEXD bold of you to assume sex matters in order to be called "the best girl"

@@SlavoidUkr It does. Why create terms like husbando and best boy if you don’t use them?

@@TheFLAMEXD it was more of a joke response... you know... Btw Do people actually use "husbando"? I know it exists, but it's never used

We need more of these

Thanks for all the work you guys do improving the game and covering up for Capcoms slip ups!

@@Foxcade Amen, also 1:14:03 Nero was a boss in the DMC4 Mobile game Refrain, and they balanced him similarly to 5 Dante's boss by keeping his moves in specific string sets. So by looking at the first attack of a combo string you would know what would come next, and Nero as a boss will never counter any of your moves with Buster UNLESS you're far away and do a charge attack like Stinger etc. Mostly likely ran out of time again.

How do you think I felt?

Wait where’s this part at?

@@RileyJ3866 0:42

Capcom should do a complete remake of DMC 2 start that shit from ground zero and actually make it a good game this time

6. PC always gets fucked over.

@@DeeMulaah Or… we could just forget about it and get DMC6

@@SaberRexZealot DMC2 has potential as a remake. They can actually make the story coherent and make the combat better/characters.

@@SaberRexZealot If you ask me, DMC 2 is the kind of situation where a remake should be a discussion It's a bad stain on the franchise and the dev who was responsible for it bailed out leaving that garbage with someone else They have the skill and potential to turn that around

Me too, but I highly doubt he was second favorite

@@bluemoonthetrybrid He was given the yamato.

@@bluemoonthetrybrid He definitely was Sparda's favorite for sure, he was much more calm and composed, even as a child he was mature and knew the weight he had to carry ........ the simple fact Sparda gave him Yamato of all things should tell you everything about how much faith he had in him. His mother though, that's a different story

@@sephikong8323 He got Yamato because he was the oldest I believe.

@@sephikong8323 Vergil was a daddy's boy, and Dante was a mommy's boy

While they were kids Vergil didn't even like fighting. It was the trauma of having to kill demons alone to defend himself that began his search for power

Vergil*

@@KaitouKaiju where did you heard that Virgil didn't like fighting

i love the reboot

A lot of people have made the DMC Reboot canon in their own way, by either having DMC Dante be attempting to copy mainline Dante, or by it occurring in a parallel reality. After all, the MvC games, and Street Fighter 5 have shown that Capcom has a massive gaming universe/multiverse. I'd love it if reboot Dante got re-introduced to the mainline series. Obviously his name would need to change, but that could simply be him using a pseudonym. Maybe reboot Dante would go by Tony Redgrave (like mainline Dante did in his early years)

@@sev1120 100% wouldn't mind this. DmC Dante is not a bad character at all. It's just he looks like shit because almost every other character was written like shit

@@sev1120 for me dmc is just a fever dream dante had after eating a moldy slice of pizza and not having a functional toilet.

More than that. Itsuno REALLY likes the Reboot and actually planned to make a sequel.

One of my favorite aspects about Vergil is, of all the video game characters I've ever played as, he's the only one that genuinely feels like he grows stronger and more powerful with each game he makes a playable appearance in. In most games that follow up a character's journey, the character doesn't really feel much stronger, it just feels like they pile on more weapons and powers while also taking some away. But with Vergil, he mostly has all the same weapons and powers, it's just they get fine tuned and perfected with each new appearance and gets a few new abilities. That's not to say other games or characters don't do this, it just feels more clear with Vergil to me. DMC3SE establishes the base line for his controls and moveset, from the 3 hit combo he keeps in all of his appearances to his iconic Judgement cut which at this point is just as iconic to vergil as the Yamato. It's ultimately a fairly limited moveset, but those limitations encourage creativity in using his abilities and weapons to the best of their ability. DmC may be infamous for just how bad it is especially in story, but it does add things to Vergil that would become staples in his gameplay from here on. Aside from tweaking his overall control a bit and giving him more combos to work with, it also introduces the Perfect Judgement Cut which, while a bit clunky in its first appearance would go on to be one of Vergil's most valuable tools in other appearances. It also introduces the embedded sword mechanic and giving Vergil doppelganger which he would bring back in 5. And for all the crap DmC understandably gets, it is to this day the only game to give Vergil a proper campaign. Not much of a campaign, but still, it's something. DMC4SE is where Vergil really started breaking the games he appears in. That's not to say he wasn't cool before, he was just a bit more balanced in 3 and DmC, but here, he just snaps the game in half. Aside from once again improving his controls, this game perfected the perfect judgement cut, gave his summoned swords a bit more utility, and introduced us to the concentration gauge which is just the perfect way to incorporate Vergil's character into his gameplay. It also gave us Judgement Cut End which just gives the finger to any enemy in Vergil's way. And finally, DMC5 perfected Vergil's control. From the amazing combos that make each weapon feel like an entire moveset on its own, to the ability to use three perfect judgement cuts back to back, to his little teleport dodges which are the perfect flexing tool for finessing demons, to Judgement Cut End somehow being even cooler along with three other super moves that just obliterate whatever fool stands before you, to having one of the coolest looking Devil Triggers in the series. This Vergil is for people who want to feel like a god among men, he just erases anyone that gets in his path, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Playing each of these appearances one after another gives you this feeling like you're actually watching Vergil's journey for power and seeing him go from just a badass swordsman, to one of the most broken videogame characters ever in the context of their own game, and whether you're the one in control or the one at the other end of his sword, you will remember the power of this motivated son of Sparda

ngl i can't imagine dmc without devil trigger and bury the light now, would be hard to get used to even if casey did it

If he doesn’t do all of the themes then at least let him do all of Vergil’s themes.

Dmc4 came out years before MvC 3

​@@KaitouKaijushe wasnt playable till AFTER mvc3

Too bad he doesn't have that in 5/5SE And i don't mind it, it fits his "old man' look

@@ihevmilkdhou would be cool to have it as a costume but you can always mod it in the PC version

@@Skeledom yes, i've seen the mod, and its kinda(a little) weird seeing "old man" Vergil with bangs, but personally 5 without bangs fits him well and his age Yet he still banged, even without bangs and.. he also "bang" a lady b4

I’m pretty sure Dante deepdicked Lady and Trish raw on the regular

@@desmonides Dante doesn't know what sex is

You need to learn the *ROYAL DODGE!*

The trick I love to call it *ROYAL DODGE!*

I know not who this Woolie is, but he looks like a scrublord.

@@maxspecs he’s a pretty cool dude who I a massive fan of both DMC and Vergil.

@@maxspecs feel bad for you

All Canadians know each other

Sbf?

The super best friends, the guy who popped up at the start is woolie, a HUGE fan of Vergil.

@@pachychon SO much of a Vergil fan, I’m sure he nutted when Vergil showed up in DMC5. And technically started the Judgment Nut meme. XD

Agreed

Are you talking shit about Beowulf? Because nobody talks shit about Beowulf, bub.

Idk man, there’s only one of them that can 1 shot the other on DMD (in 5) and it ain’t Vergil…

Couldnt agreed more, God Must Die mode and Must style mechanic should be added in DMC5SE.

@@MikeZhu114 Yeah, I forgot about that one but it was another great addition.

Yes

Yeah, the fact that her and Trish only being playable in 4 is lame...

yea i enjoyed Dantes campaign more then Vergil since you would fall off the edges all the time.

@@bradleyreid4853 It's so obnoxious, idk why they thought Vergil constantly having to fight flying enemies on platforms that are like 4 feet across was a good idea

I actually used it as an advantage. I would jump off a ledge, devil grab an enemy, then use the downward sword slash attack to send enemies crashing into the abyss. Useful for harpies and wisps.

DMC4 In a nutshell

@Gold Star Gaming Still better then any other western action game at least

I mean sure, but pizza is just dough sauce and cheese, follow a guide and it'll still taste amazing 🤷‍♀️

Maybe, but GOD does is still SLAP

Go check out Hyve mind he was was in the same position playing the reboot first and really liking it

It hella fun Also fancy seeing you here

It's in his pause combo with Yamato
