Dark Slayer Style - The Vergil General Discussion Thread

Honestly, every now and then he sounded like Wolfwood from Trigun to me, oddly enough. O_o

Damn someone beat me to it, and I was just about to say Team Trenchcoats :confused:

Nelo Angelo alt costume plz?

Not this time round IMO. I’ve already gotten used to how he sounds now but he doesn’t have that oomph that made his original efforts great.

Toodles won it with “Trench Coat Mafia”. It’s official.

Trenchcoat mafia is a bunch of nerds who all wear trench coats and think they’re cool.

Or in other words

a bunch of “people like you and me” who all wear trench coats and think they’re cool.

It’s kind of like a clique thing from high school.

It could be argued that Wesker is a nerd. The man loves science and kung fu.

So what moves have wee seen so far that Vergil has in common with Dante?

Stinger, J. S, The flipping sword move in the air (without ice), qcf + A… anything else?

Not to mention wears sunglasses in the dark/indoors and is apparently Agent Smith’s #1 fan

Though if Vergil has some good assists Team Trenchcoat mafia is looking like a Top Tier team, of course all speculation/

I’m going to be around these parts quite a bit

Actually it’s more of a spinning somersault using Beowulf Gauntlets and Greaves but w/e. Apart from Devil Trigger and Air Tirck he probably won’t share any other similar moves since all of Dante’s other moves use the weapons he gained in DMC3

I never noticed that Revolver and Lunar Phase share a lot in common.

So…Stinger, High Time (Dante’s S), Helm Breaker (j.S), Starfall (dive kick), DT, and his teleports are arguable.

Vergil has three weapons, four if you count the Summoned Swords.
Dante has ten weapons in DMC3, one of which is not present in Marvel (Spiral, an anti-tank rifle that could fire ricocheting trick shots).

The moves they had in common were:
[LIST]
[]Stinger
[
]the dive kick (in DMC3, Vergil’s had a different name and apparently dealt more damage?)
[]Helm Splitter (j.S)
[
]High Time (which is Dante’s default launcher)
[]Devil Trigger
[
]Air Trick (Vergil still had two other teleports)
[/LIST]

Yeah I have no doubts they’ll be a good team based on the fact that Dante and Wesker can hold their own without assists. Based on the gameplay, I dunno what to think about what Vergil’s assists could be unless there’s some Summoned Swords shenanigans involved.

Wesker/Dante/Vergil - Team 16 year old wet dream

If this works -> Sword Super + tag out = Haggar assist is back folks, he brought swords with him. Then oh boy, can you imagine Berserker Vergil + swords? insanity insues.

On a side note his Air OK multiple reality cutting blades super, some are saying he’ll be invulnerable since it looks full screen, in a sense he is just moving extremely fast like Max wesker, he may not be able to be seen but I doubt he’s “invulnerable while he’s essentially invisible” he’s still technically there just not seen. Also since Vergil performs that obnoxious sheathing of his sword post super; on block is going to be really easy to punish, I wonder if you can DHC when he’s sheathing his sword…

16 is the new 21.

He has an Ukyo and Genjuro vibe.

That means auto mained.

He’ll probably go with my Viper team.

If they put Lunar Phase as an assist, I can see it end up as a very good anti-air assist and Vergil could be the new Akuma.

Yeah I noticed that too, it reminds me of the Shuma complaints of him posing after hypers. It’s very possible that he’ll be invincible throughout that entire hyper since that’s exactly how it works in the game; he just disappears from the field and puts shit on the screen. It looks like you could probably get an OTG combo off of it as well if you x-factor, because it causes hard knockdown. I’m thinking: Slash Dimension > XF > call assist > OTG with High Time > combo? Hitstun deterioration will probably mess this up but it could be possible if you get SS in there as well.

Possibilities possibilities.

Yeah that’s sounding like his go to assist if they put it in, temporary lockdown + plus fat hitbox for anti-airing. Hope it has good start up.

I think someone mentioned this before, but hommie looks mad meter intensive, I mean 2 hypers that produce diminishing returns on hyper meter plus the apparent ability to use meter for something while swords are summoned. I really really need to hear more about this guy, I hope capcom went balls in with his DT though, give it a bunch of properties that make people actually consider running a meter building assist just to have constant access to it. If it turns out to just be a blue version of dante devil trigger ill be a little disappointed.

Yeah, no joke. It looks like Capcom was worried about Vergil being in perma-Spiral Swords mode…which makes sense. I mean, you can theoretically do something like Spiral Swords -> combo -> Spiral Swords cancel and just keep those things circling him forever.

It looks like Vergil is going to need a good battery to be really effective, and he’ll probably play a mean anchor game, especially if he has 5 bars at his disposal when it goes down to the wire.
