Dark Slayer Style - The Vergil General Discussion Thread

[Bryanv2]

I’m loving this character. Much more execution based than he first appeared. The timing on the Rising Sun > Trick > s.JM is very tricky. Took quite a few hours of practice, and only have it around 50-60 percent of the team. I’m on pad so super jumps tend to be harder for me.

Proud that I finished all of his missions though. Mission 10 is actually easier than 9, you just need to be fast at cancelling those stringers at 9. I’m just glad the characters combos aren’t Wesker easy, which is what I was used to. Maybe this will stop a lot of people from playing. Namely the 15 year old kids with wet dreams…

Yes! I don’t have the game yet cause there is only one store that sells it before the 18th here but I have to wait till tomorrow to go there >> Im glad to hear that that combo isn’t easy although I hate super jumping during combos lol (pad too here) and his basic combo I dont think does that much so players have to upgrade.

Also you said his cr. heavy is -2 on block? Thats not half as bad as I thought

[Eclipse]

Might have been -2 on block with DT, and - 6 regularly. I’ll have to look at the guide again. Mistake on my part if so.

[Spike]

Cr.H is -6 reg -2 DT (on block) just looked at guide

That looks about right: in training mode I can punish non DT Vergil c.:h: with Zero s.:l: (5 frame startup), but not DT.

e: beaten

[Felinoter]

man

vergil can’t kara anything. so sad lol

How has the Vergil Illuminati fared Day 1?

[currentlemon]

It seems impossible to hit it with :l: doesn’t it? Actually, maybe it is… sorta. There is a way, although the benefit is beyond me. You can High Time xx Trick Down xx Dimension Slash with :l:…

Benefit? maybe you like those buttons instead? :tup:

EDIT: As pointed to down below, :h: just creates that instant Trick Down xx Hyper. I never thought of it that way, but it makes perfect sense.

Oh thanks, I was just about to ask that question. Yeah, I never thought of that.

I thought Stinger was supposed to wallbounce, what happened?

[Indig0]

Only if they’re airborne.

[expressioned]

The second you can move after you Trick Down, you should be super jumping. One thing you can do is add an sj.:l: before the sj., I found that easier. It’s all going to come from a little practice.

I just realized why I was missing it the whole time. Its either I press sj too fast and a normal jump comes out, or I sj but press too slow.

Been practicing sj and its becoming a lot more consistent now. Once again, thank you so much for helping!

[Eclipse]

I can’t seem to get much consistency with his combos online, but maybe I’m just facing lag issues. All of his normals are so damn unsafe. I’m punished every two seconds. Need to get used to this playstyle, but I really want to run him as a rushdown character.

How have all of you guys faired day 1?

coming along nicely actually, vergil + sentinel drones is so beast lol, i hate integrating lunar phase into my combos though its such a pain in the ass to hit confirm off of it. unless need be i try to avoid using it in my combos, at least for now anyways, it’s only day 1 so i guess i still have to get used to it.

So uh…Rapid slash assist causes spin state

DISCUSS?!?!?!?!

[CaptainMarvelous]

So what’s the optimal no assist, one meter bnb for Vergil at the moment? So far most of what I’ve seen uses multiple meters or certain assists to break 700k.

yo this Rising Sun> Trick> sj.M bullshit is hard, it seems i can catch them with the j.M but j.H whiffs most of the time, WTF?

I’m having problems with it too; it does take some time in the training room to get it consistent. I’m able to do Rising Sun xx Air Trick sj. M about 60-70% of the time now.

When you say you’re whiffing j.H, I assume you mean right after sj. M. Once you hit sj. M, hit j. H right after. I actually found sj. M j.H s to link quite easily. What I noticed is that to hit sj. M after trick, quickly do sj and press m. If you’re missing it it means you’re not fast enough. Hope that helps somewhat.

[TrulyAmiracle]

yeah its weird coz i can land the sj.M but the j.H whiffs after it pretty much 80% of the time, I’m seeing that people are having trouble landing the j.M not the j.H >___< lol idk what im doing wrong here.

[lxMetalSonicxl]

I found it to be quite easily actually. If j.H whiffs because they are too high, I would guess you would need to super jump or j.M slower and vice versa.

[TrulyAmiracle]

nah it whiffs coz I’m too high, the j.M hits and then the j.H goes right above them -_-

[expressioned]

Perhaps you may want to try slowing down the s. j just by a margin. I noticed that I do whiff j.H at times if i super jump too fast. sj. M j.H s should come out quite easily if you can link Trick -> sj. M.
