Dark Slayer Style - The Vergil General Discussion Thread

He has 3 different teleports, though. The guy used the one which teleports him above them, when he could have used the one that teleports behind them and then continued his combo.

i can imagine the mayhem dante/vergil will cause (even moreso if dhc trick was still in the game). but they have enough moves that i’m sure they’ll be able to cook up some nasty insanity for their opponents. let the combos that last forever commence along with the butthurt.

less mixups that way though if he cant follow up with an overhead when using the teleport in question. opponent can just crouch block and only have to deal with left/right mixup rather than left/right /high/low

spiral swords lasts about 4 ingame seconds, just counted.

as for spiral swords vs ouroboros, objectively ouroboros is obviously still better due to the additional perks it has that comes with being a lvl 3 (lasts longer, shoots more rapidly, etc). in an actual match however, how good these moves really are is entirely up to the characters themselves. Strider has projectiles that can cover the air, ground, and can self OTG, blah blah, while Vergil probably has a shitton of other moves we don’t know about yet.

spiral swords is good that’s for sure but of course with it being a lvl 1, means that its main advantage is that you can use it way more often than ouroboros-- and vergil looks like he’s good at building meter, which means you can use them whenever you want in combos, mixups, resets, etc. you’ll have to work to get that meter for ouroboros, but it’s gonna be worth it… provided pushblock doesn’t screw you over.

Fuck yeah, Sword Tutu super and he has his air teleport that puts him in front of the opponent. It’s going to be fun for the first couple of days when people expect teleport from behind and just get hit from the front. Though magneto just walked right under it.

It’s amazing how close they kept him to his DMC3:SE incarnation. I am hella hype to use Vergil and team DMC now!

im pretty sure vergil actually teleported behind mags. magneto is still in hitstun when the teleport actually occurs. thats what i was saying in my above post it looks like behind teleport doesnt correct the direction he faces.

Why would he need to use his lvl 3 when his lvl 1s look so good?

^this. am I right in assuming that Slash Dimension (or whatever it’s called) is nearly fullscreen, like Okami shuffle? his sword ring hyper is probably going to be a big component of his gameplay. you pretty much cannot play footsies with vergil while those swords are out, otherwise he can hit confirm into sesame street combo.

It looks more like a heavily upgraded Maximum Wesker. Maybe we are going to call it Maximum Vergil?

sword super + a good assist = crazy lockdown, can’t wait to see all the new character assists

Didn’t everybody start calling it Maximum Wesker because he bounced all over the screen kinda like Maximum Spider? It doesn’t really make sense in this case since I don’t think Vergil is even present on the screen during the Judgement/Dimension Cut hyper.

Obviously Vergil’s full screen level 1 will become Demonic Shuffle.

I’m not sure if its because it’s in the corner, but the teleport seems to be straight over magneto (dante’s back teleport teleports behind them even if they are in the corner, so its more like phoenix’s teleport). Besides, a back air teleport doesn’t make sense for vergil when you take into consideration his moveset from DMC3 and his personality.

Vergil looks so awesome. His teleports are gonna be sick for mixups.

if u look there appears to be dashes across the screen while his hyper is going on.

Wesker: What you know about the Maximum?
Vergil: All that I need.
Spiderman: Stop using my signature move and replacing it with your name!!!

Ahh, day 1 reactions. So much fun.

Best part of Vergil, to me, is how his various quotes from DMC3 made it into UMvC3. Winwinwin. Makes me kinda sad that most of Dante’s lines are so plain n’ generic.

Pretty sure that’s just slash marks.

Recall that in DMC3, he teleported off of the screen for the Million Judgment Cut. If he does that in Ultimate, that’s pretty sick - a hyper that fills the screen, and you’re totally invincible during it, too.

Aww man, does High Time hit OTG? Or maybe it’s just the groundbounce from Helm Splitter I was seeing…

VERGIL …i was screamin in my class when i saw this lol . they transferred his badassness VERY WELL . I’m so happy
