Dark Slayer Style - The Vergil General Discussion Thread

which isn’t? Swords teleport is an instant safe 50/50 mixup at any time. Teleport in front or behind, they still almost certainly hit on the first frame, and if you manage to preemptively block it you’re stuck in blockstun from the swords long enough that he can recover and do whatever he wants.

talking bout carats 50/50.

I’ll lol pretty hard if spiral sword>TP is like carats>TP 50/50

LVL 3 XFC, Devil Trigger, Spiral Swords = Hilarity insues.
(That is if you have the bars for it)

… what’re you cancelling then? :stuck_out_tongue:

Was referring to all of them at the same time, unless outside of my knowledge you can’t have Spiral Swords and DT up?

VERGIL COSTUMES

Dat Black Vergil, he fights in style.

The Demitri alt is the only one that looks good to me.

I like the white, black, and the blue and red but ill prolly use the all red if I can stick him with teammates with red alts. Only disappointing color is the last one not because it ain’t awesome but cause it looks to similar to the nero alt. Overall good stuff, sounds like well be getting dante and maybe trish next week.

Some of them are nice, like about half of the new costumes. Probably gonna rock the Nero one, but I wish I didn’t know it was Nero (I love DMC btw, but I didnt feel Nero half as much as Dante/Vergil)

I’m rockin the nero alt 100%! Nero is Vergil’s son after all and an awesome character IMO so you get to rep both with one character choice. I also think that alt was the most successful in terms of capturing their inspiration for the outfit and his DT looks so sweet.

Damn his white one is sick. Extra points for having some red in it to go with Hawkeye’s white/red alt.

carats 50/50 - mid range, definitely a 50/50 (can’t react to 10f~ teleport+instant hit) still have mix up options after it, guaranteed combo even if they sj

spiral swords - anywhere on screen, high damage proration, 50/50 with fake/cross up teleport - on ground. in air, you may have no mix up options as ground front/back teleports have been shown to only teleport on ground, and im still not sure if people cancel RS/HT with vertical teleport or front teleport. if front, then likely that back is the same, and that all teleports except ground vertical put you on the ground

and assuming that the whole thing is airtight they can just pushblock until it wears off once they land (or they can stall with flight, etc. even if they get hit, theres no guarantee that a good combo will follow high in the air, since its likely that the swords interrupt starfall>helm breaker before they get hard knockdown/ground bounce)

Vergil’s alt’s are ok, the way he stands is fuckin’ up his swag though. I personally can’t wait for this DLC.

Cause Nero is lame >_<

Yeah I’m thinking it’ll be that as well.

…Or this

[details=Spoiler]

The one with the jacket and scarf? Image not working properly. The only reason Idon’t think it’ll be that one is because they never used it in the game. That, and it’s so easy for them to make his vest alt; just take off the coat.

^fixed it

It’s Corrupt Vergil, didn’t mean to link to the other one :stuck_out_tongue:

i’ll take the Nero and Demitri one. Since most will probably rock the black one. White one is a nice 3rd backup.

also I think the point nini heart is making on the 50/50 carats is that it may be guaranteed, but you’re not getting much off it after the guaranteed hit. Which is probably why it’s hardly bothered with now. Especially when Dante has better more guaranteed mixups that don’t include wasting an x-factor or meter. Unless some new way was developed that I missed out on (which is possible)

I still like sword mixups. Not always guaranteed but they’re stuck guessing present and future while in blockstun. Don’t get that with carats.

Carats teleport doesn’t crossup.

Just thought you should know.

If Vergil can only left/right mixup with hyper sword + teleport on the ground, that does limit it. If that’s the case, then his derpness doesn’t too far exceed dante. If it isn’t… Well then fuck… I always wanted to play a character like wolvie that wasn’t wolvie. (Hoped that would be X-23. But she is what she is and that’s more than fine.)

as evidence (and in a way a weakness) of swords, swords>teleport>sword hits is a combo so its presumably a true blockstring also… which means you can’t do a left-right mixup with another teleport if they’re already blocking swords (since they’d be able to block the same way). It also however tells you how fast they hit after teleport.

Edit: Is there anybody that can do only one of their teleports in the air? I don’t think they work that way. Teleport cancelling his DP might be different, since its basically its own special.

Wesker’s the only person who has a teleport that actually keeps him airborne for another teleport action in the vanilla cast. Everyone else who can teleport in the air have them go back to the ground.
