Dark Slayer Style - The Vergil General Discussion Thread

Not sure If anyone posted this, but http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLodRcOCHC0 1:15 or so. Is that a walljump?

if you watch the reveal trailer, at the 57 second mark while he is comboing doom, he builds very close to 5 meters before he activates DT, after DT he hits doom a couple more times before activating his level 3, and is still at 0 bars. im certain those extra 2 hits he does in DT mode WOULD have built enough meter to get him to 1+. therefore i dont think DT builds meter either.

you could offset the loss of DT after activating the level 3 by just waiting until right before the DT runs out before activating it, ensuring maximum possible time with any added bonus DT gives. There can be the risk doing this however that you could end up eating a combo or being caught in blockstun without enough time to recover and initiate your own combo. this would mean though activating DT early in a combos life and continuing it for as long as possible. however this then means you arent building any meter for your massive combo.

so, activate DT early and miss out on all the meter you couldve had,but probably do more damage, or activate it right before doing the level 3 and give up most of your DT meter.

Compared to DMC3, where he couldnā€™t blockā€¦no.

Zeroā€™s super stays, its actually the only state where any of his assists arent complete shit.
idk what youā€™re referring to with Mirror, Morrigan? havent tested it but i assumed it would stay.
Orbs as in Strider? if so thats a lvl3 so it doesnt count, same thing with x-23ā€™s invisibility.

-That reset potential
-That mix up potential
-That TROLL potential

Apple and Microsoft had booming sales today. People bought new keyboards due to there old ones becoming ā€œstickyā€. Pretty sure Vergil is to blame.

Yeah it looks like they gave him wall hike.

Neither could dante if you didnā€™t pick royal gaurd.

Speaking of which I think itā€™s quite cool that vergil blocks by spinning his sword much like he did if you shot at him during his boss fight as dante to deflect the bullets.

Yeah, that looks like a walljump to me too.

EDIT: Nevermind, Tetsuro got in there before me.

Oh god, Vergilā€™s so fucking sick lol. Canā€™t wait to use him.

Rewatching the videos; can he ā€˜trick upā€™ (teleport above) a grounded opponent? Would make for a good high low game with a good lockdown assist. Canā€™t seem to find it happening anywhere.

So the main Q isā€¦ will Vergil be as bullshit as Dante? If so I am on the bandwagon.

In his reveal trailer he does it against magneto.

Isnā€™t it in his reveal trailer at 0.32 seconds against Magneto?

EDIT: Nitro beat me to it.

Vergil does parry when youā€™re fighting against him as a boss, but thatā€™s a bit too subtle and impractical to be in a Mahvel game.

His wall jump is probably to compensate for his lack of double jump like in dmc 3.

His teleport has a quite a large window where heā€™s off screen completely, but the recovery looks really fast (Dr Strange fast) so I guess even if the opponent can react to the teleport itā€™ll still be a pretty harsh mix-up.

Thatā€™s where the smart money is, yes. It doesnā€™t look like Vergil has as many 270-degree hitboxes on his attacks as Dante, but he will have similar range/speed, better teleports and the Summoned Swords.

Spiral Swords + Teleports = bullshit.

On some real shit, IDT Vergil is complete.

  • Why the fuck my nigga look like a box?

  • Where the fuck is my scum taunt?

  • You are not worthy as my opponent taunt is missing too.

  • Fix that nigga jacket.

His gameplay looks sexy, but he seems like he forgot to look in the mirror before leaving the castle. Guess he said fuck it.

Yeah mean Morriganā€™s by mirror. Iā€™m pretty sure that one at least vanishes, and weā€™ve been told that Denjin doesnā€™t effect assists (altho I understand it stays active).

Iā€™m suspecting youā€™ll lose swords if you go out, its justā€¦ tooā€¦ insane. It basically doubles the functions of his assists. (projectileā€¦ AND lockdown! etc)

I canā€™t wait to play Vergil. Heā€™s gonna be running point on my team. He looks like a weaker version on Dante tbh. Everything Vergil seems to be able to do, Dante has his version of it plus more lol.

[S]noticed his DT lasts a lot longe[/S]r nevermind

guessing 15~ seconds marvel time

glad they implemented bullet catchā€¦ at least in his block animation lol. wouldā€™ve been sweet if he got royal guard style block for normals/specials and bullet catcher for projectiles.

and im 99% sure that image is round trip, that stance is too distinctive to be anything else
