Yeah, it was almost not worth posting. It was Floe though. He’s not the best, but he’s not bad. This at least shows that vergil is not going to be dominant from day one.
Edit: For anybody looking for the Maximilian video mentioned in the post below this one, it’s here:
Maximilian has a breakdown of the LA fightclub event with a lot of vergil gameplay and explanation. Not too much new stuff but it satisfies the appetite somewhat. Hah.
Mostly just interesting combo stuff. He combos after an air throw at one point. Also, you see his assist a bit and he explains round trip.
Thanks for the information guys. Didn’t mean to criticize floe if he’s a proficient player. He must not have known how to use Vergil very well, seeing as he is a new character.
This is definitely one of those situations where I can’t have enough info, but I’m going to die since inevitably I have to wait around 2 months for this game to come out… Ugh…
I find it helps to think of it this way. We’re approx 22 days (Or 3 weeks if it sounds shorter too you.) away from NYC where we should hopefully get some more gameplay and characters. From NYC it’s only another… 4 weeks and two days (30 days total or possibly 31 days if my math is incorrect.) till release. And if you’re getting the guidebook then that last short amount of time is even shorter! Plus they have color updates on tuesdays and fridays so we constantly have something to look forward too for at least another month.
Well, that’s an optimistic way of looking at it. I’m only really getting the game for Vergil, so I don’t care much about the other characters/announcements, but I guess it’s interesting nonetheless. I’m guessing if HCBS was to activate Sword Storm, then Blistering Swords would be HCFS.
Floe had never played any of those characters except strider. Nemesis and vergil are both competely new to him. Meanwhile, dios was using all characters he had already played before
MVC3 works in a way where a couple match vids of you in it can make you look like you don’t know how to play especially if you’re using characters you’ve never used before. All it takes is one or 2 pokes in the right place and you lose a character so it’s a lot of looking like a boss or looking like a noob instead.
It’s the fight club dilemma. You can’t blame people for wanting to win on the big screen, but if its ‘character never played before vs character played for months’, the result is always the same… and boring.
Vergil throws Force Edge during Round Trip, as mentioned before, which is also what he did in DMC3.
Speculation incoming: He is still able to attack during Round Trip using Yamato.
I was with neoempire folks at the event. We all gave our vids to one person to edit end upload as a whole. Part of this footage contains some nifty vergil combos, but the bulk consist of what we did not know about the old and new characters. I tried to get some matches but there was no way to record as it go slightly crowded during matches.
