Dark Slayer Style - The Vergil General Discussion Thread

OMG!!! I WAKE UP TO GET SOME COFFEE AND I SEE HAS A LVL.1 SUMMON SWORDS SUPER. (Top Tierlol)

But looking at the video, it builds meter but in order to do the other things, you have to spend another meter to fully utilize it (explaining why it still builds meter, despite being identical to Spiral’s swords).

Also, if Vergil’s DT super just speeds him up and power up some of his moves, I’ll be a little disappointed. At least it gives me a solid reason to keep using Dante as well. But I still wonder how his teleports work.

INB4 Strider lvl.3 ouroburos complaints :wink:

I really hope so

I dont think so. Everytime he jumped they did a ground dash into fwd jump and the only time I saw a dbl jump was when he was in DT

He can airdash during Devil Trigger as seen in 1:37 in this vid

They should have his hair go down if he’s near to being KO’ed.
Dante should say to Vergil if he’s on the opposing team in the beginning, “So this is what they call a heartwarming family reunion, eh?”

Yo we gotta defend strider in every way he was doing the damn thing since the 90’s xD but i’m sure we’ll find some type of way to
make strider’s Ouroboro work, strider will neva die! but enough about my boy strider more Vergil talk… let’s get hype ppl!

alls i really wanna know is where the fuck are my gdlk qotes at… like
"Why do you refuse to gain power?"
“DIEE”
“SCUM”
“Where’s your motivation?”
"You will not forget this devils power"
Ninja Edit - “This is the end”

YES VERGIL LETS GO <3 all the above comments make me more hype for him. I hope he’s at least hard to play though (Doubt it) else everyone will just play Vergil and be Wolverine lvl with him day 1.

Haven’t watched the vids yet. Also dammit I wanted to make the thread haha

Vergil looks sexy… sexier than Dante. He has better teleports than him. That LV1 Spiral Sword, SOLD! Although it doesn’t last long as Strider’s Ouroboro but it still can be ab-usable plus you can throw them like MVC2 Spiral’s Dancing Sword. Slash Dimension is gorgeous and easy to combo into.
With Morrigan’s Dark Harmonizer and Trish’s trap assists mix in with some teleports… omg… I found my team.
Sorry Dante but your brother is FIOONNNE!! Definitely ‘my baby’s daddy’ potential. lol

lol thats right before he does the dbl jump i saw. i need to go to fuckin sleep

Oh my god he looks freaking amazing. Fast…Range…Dante’s overhead that everyone hates lol, multiple teleports…Level 1 Swords/Our?, STYLIN’? Stinger/BoldC?/Beserker Slash ?.. DemonForm + Air Spidy super + HIM PUTTING HIS SWORD BACK WITH STYLE? letsss gooooooo…lmao lets go.

Is it just me or does it look like Vergil can’t combo off an OTG High Time without burning XF?

unless he can bold cancel that or whatever so that it’s like Viper’s H Thunder Knuckle feint (basically launches but you stay grounded if you cancel the active frames), then probably. it’s vergil anyway, he’ll most likely have lots of combo options that don’t need OTGs.

I think you need to be in Devil Trigger to use his level 3.

love the avatar bro. i think i’ve liked every post by you in the last hour or so

Vergil seems to be a gift from Capcom to me. I play a mediocre Dormammu but my best character is definitely Dante. I can still win without him but most people who play me know that my strong point is being able to combo off of of any lucky hit with Dante. Vergil will definitely be a combo heavy person as well and if I can get in with him like Dante, I’ll def. put PW in my team just for the lulz. Dante and Vergil better have some very good synergy or “fists will fly” at Capcom’s HQs

his level 1 in the air causes hard knock down from the looks of it, he might be able to combo off of his self otg ala wesker where if you have less hits its easier to self combo, while more hits means you must use an assist.

His summon swords has two modes:

thorn mode: where he gains the swords that revolve around him and it acts like “thorns” where if your near him you get hit, looks to be about 15-20 hits. Each hit depletes a set durability of the sword and the sword dissapears once its out, which means the longer the super goes on the less damage/chip itll do.

shoot mode: he shoots the swords at full durability

these are all first impressions from one view ill do some more investigatin tom :sleep:

edit : woops repeat info o_O

JAPAN. CAPCOM HEADQUARTERS. FISTS WILL FLY AT THIS LOCATION!

doesn’t look like he has many combo options - too many ground bounces, no hard knockdowns. judgment cut might soft knockdown though.

thinking mhs>j.mmhs>otg assist>lunar phase>stinger>air trick cancel>5s>tk super (comet slash? whatever its called) would work lol

seems like he’d do well in combos with delayed assist such as doom missiles though.

i hope they don’t make rapid slash DT cancelable, though. don’t need another berserker slash imo, since he already has phoenix level teleports (looks like tp to left and right of enemy in air or ground, and then air/ground tp to ground)

from the gameplay video it seems that spiral swords has really high HSD/proration, but even something simple like XF3>spiral swords>50/50 mix up that can happen at any time at midscreen seems like a joke lol

lol i was hoping someone got the SF4 reference

Judgment Cut doesn’t look terribly effective. It seems to be almost just like Dormammu’s Dark Hole. I’m sure we’ll find some way to crack him. No one ended up using the simplified combos in their reveal trailer from vanilla.

Ah, I love reveal reactions. ‘OMG JUU GUYS, SUMMON SWORDS IS THE NEW ORBS! DOOM/VERGIL FOR BROKE TIER’.
