Dark Slayer Style - The Vergil General Discussion Thread

Sword Storm looks beautiful.

Vergil looks intresting and fun to play to me, Iā€™m defintely gonna check him out :slight_smile:

Iā€™m praying Vergil has Rising Dragon as an assist and that it has invincibility.

Shots from the crown of swords should otg.

Vergil really needs meter. He even needs another bar to change his sword formation. You can see Capcom put a ton of limiters on him. I think they really feared he would be too much for the rest of the cast to handle and honestly even with all those limiters I think he will still hit top 5 the way heā€™s looking. Wishful thinking maybe but thats what my gut says.

Vergil/Morigan anyone?

The Vergil reveal had Vergil, Dante, Amaterasu. Coincidence? Bloom assist with Ammy builds meter.

Team Heaven or Hell, anyone?

I donā€™t see Vergil using his level 3 much in high level play. Seems like youā€™ll wanna use dat sweet meter on Phantom Blade pressure, (almost??) fullscreen Judgement Cut hyper or of course, Devil Trigger.

Seems like when youā€™re playing Vergil youā€™ll be chomping down meter like an all you can KO buffet.
EDIT: I guess according to Seth Killianā€™s walkthough, Vergilā€™s movelist is:

:qcf::atk: Judgement Cut
-:l: Infront of Vergil
-:m: Mid screen orb
-:h: Full screen distance orb

:qcb::atk: Air Trick

:dp::l: Rising Sun (Can cancel into Air Trick)
:dp::m: Lunar Phase
:dp::h: Rapid Slash

j.:s: Star fall

Seems like he can also cancel his launcher into a Arakune like command-rekka.

Unless his level 4 er i mean 3, is worth it, if itā€™s stronger than most level 3ā€™s, then maybe. But setting yourself up solely for that I donā€™t see it coming. You happen to have 4-5 meters with vergil for some godforbidden reason and you got your opponent in a combo might as well go for it.

*if you happen to be in devil trigger mode and have 3 meters. Seems a little slow to do DT>lvl 3 in the context of a combo.

iā€™m wondering if summoned swords will allow vergil to air exchange without being exchange countered?
if so, this guy will have some hairy combos with the right teammates (dante, zero, fly/airdash characters, strider). iā€™m liking what i see and seeing what i like.:badboy: on the downside, he looks like a meter hog along with strange and strider to an extent.

somebody should check if they fixed that in ultimate actually, they well might have since its a well-known bug

A 6 min video about vergilā€™s move set was posted in the general discussion thread just thought iā€™d post it here if it hasnā€™t been posted
already.

Tracking over head swords are good

As long as this motherfucker doesnā€™t pull out a an annoying gun to zone with, Iā€™m okay with this.

I canā€™t wait to fit this guy into team composition, if Tron stays dazed from the random nerf hammer then Vergil might just steal her spot on my Dorm/Doom team

I hope he has a Rising Dragon AAA, thatā€™d be a perfect replacement for the nerfed Gustaff (That is, assuming itā€™s a good assist, thereā€™s plenty of crap anti-airā€™s in this game), his teleport will LOVE Plasma Beam, and Dark Hole will more than likely (read: hopefully) fill any combo extension needs Vergil has.

I honestly donā€™t see swords sticking around after he tags out, strikes me more like Morrigansā€™s Astral Vision and X-23ā€™s lvl3. Iā€™d be in love if they stuck around after he tags when he made them hover around someoneā€™s head, though itā€™s unlikely. DT powered assists sound nuts enough though, considering how large his Devil Trigger made their hitboxes, could make for some disgusting assists after tagging him out in DT

Letā€™s just say Vergil and Pheonix wonā€™t be seeing the light of day together.

Your in luck then

OMFG! Did you see the size of those Devil trigger specials? Can you imagine that shit as an assist?

Vergil is just jealous. When he and Dante were kids, Dante would lame out Vergilā€™s ā€œhonour teamā€ with Cableā€™s standing :hp: gunshots in MvC2.
