Dark Slayer Style - The Vergil General Discussion Thread

I assume you’re talking Round Harvest rather than Round trip.

Either way, I was talking meterless rather than Tag out/DHC out.

He means using Vergil’s round trip like charged projectile (kinda like the round trip special Trish has) to act a hit box to set up left/rights. Which considering you have to charge it…we’ll have to see how useful it is reliably for such a purpose.

Hold [A]. Release. Teleport behind. Dacidbro did it in the norcal tourney with verg. Unless i’m being stupid…

That means even more time to call Morrigan if it’s solid enough to use regularly.

LOL. I just realized the swords go away if Vergil gets hit. No more swords being 1 meter Ouro.

It was LPN and he did Round Trip>Rapid Slash catching a Magneto.

Yeah, there’s no way they would give a character a hyper that shutdowns the game and leads to free mixups for one bar without any drawbacks to it in this game.

Here’s the vid

EDIT: Nvm, it was Round Trip>Teleport…The DT ender made it look like Rapid Slash on the stream.

It scales your damage to shit any way. It just seems like it allows for self safe mix ups via teleports ATM.

Oh gawd, is vergil’s dashing sword attack into devil trigger going to be the new Slash -> Charge?

Looks like it except it doesn’t have multiple distances. Plus unlike Wolverine he won’t be able to kill 2 people off with it at the start of the round. I guess they decided to take the invincible part away from Wolverine while still giving him the multiple distance self left/right stuff and give the invincibility to Vergil.

It seems like it may be the new Berderper Slash.

Is anyone else feeling like Vergil’s swords are a waste of meter at this point? Why not devil trigger and turn him into what Dante is already? Vergil’s going to be a fucking god in Devil Trigger.

I think Vergil’s sword hyper is going to shine when you have 3+ bars. I see more potential in the crown and the projectile stances.

Dante + DT looks better than Vergil + DT so far. Dante can double jump and air dash without DT and Dante + DT gets the ability to use the two best special moves in the game + flight. Plus now Dante can triple jump and double air dash during DT. Triple jump + thunder bolt + assist calls = gonna shut so much shit down. Especially with flight mode and vortex invincible psycho crusher shit thrown in.

Vergil seems more like he’ll need DT to improve his mobility past being Wesker without air ports status. I heard his special moves improve in DT but I doubt any of them will be as good as Dante’s thunderbolt or vortex.

I agree. 1 meter swords seems more like annoyance factor than anything else.

How exactly do the crowns work? Are they unblockable or overhead or what? I heard someone say you can’t block them if you’re on the ground or something.

Not to mention DT Dante has a triple jump or double air dash.

Still not sure on that. Times I’ve seen it use, the Vergil player was teleport back and forth right as the swords started to hit.

I’ve updated the OP with new info, better prose, and a Day 0 playstyle section. Take a look and tell me what you think. If I’m missing any info or you think something should be added, let me know.

the term “derp” is annoying already. every character that is good gets a bad rep just for the sake of being good. if you want every character to have their cheap stuff taken away then you might as well play something boring like golf since that’s what you want all the games to be now days. I’m no longer “motivated”.

In max’s vid swords seem to end rather quickly in the release trailer they seemed to have more out and about time in my head I envisioned after a long bnb using his otg ground bounce and wall bounce that I’d hit swords and spam launch unlaunch over and over and then go for an air throw cross under mix up after wards. Still though crown and sword Shoot mode are untapped tech.

People don’t care if characters have cheap shit, people just don’t want another Wolverine. Characters like Wolvie, Wesker, and Phoenix = derp. Characters like Viper = cheap, but not derpy.

Yeah I don’t mind games where characters have a lot of options and strong tools. It allows you to create a lot of gameplans and play styles around the characters. The issue is when you do qcb+M or H and win the game (Vanilla Wolvie).
