when this game drops i am going to practice some ABC>stinger>spiral swords hyper>taunt>ABC special combos.

just for the crack like.

1742

this. I always tend to gravitate towards the characters that require higher execution. that’s why I dropped Wesker. lol.

1743

Oh that’s soooo sick if possible, thatll definitely be used by me too lol. Tears salty there will be

1744

wonder if it would be possible, and also how much damage could be gained from simply doing ground series>swords>taunt>ground series>swords>taunt until all of your meters are gone. If i can kill your character using it you better believe im gonna do it instead of a level 4 ha ha.

edit: after some inspection of maximillians vergil assist me video it seems summoned swords lasts for about 3 seconds (with all swords hitting) while his taunt lasts for around 2 seconds. REJOICE!!!

1745

Taunting at the end of a combo just before blue swords kill a character is very familiar to old strider orobouros combos used to love doing that and I will love doing that with Virgil might make taunt one my L2 or R2 buttons on my stick. As far as him being execution heavy or not he has a big tool kit not as big as his brothers but big enough to say that his guna take a few days to crack open Dante wasn’t fleshed out until a lot later and ppl are still figuring out shit with him now. Any ways round trip > DT teleport is guna be some salt inducing welcome set up.

From obake in the ‘‘Testing out UMVC3’’ thread for if anyone missed it:

Vergil

  • Pretty much all of his normals are unsafe. He can make them safer by cancelling them.
  • His “berserker slash” does cancel into Devil Trigger and allow for a full combo just like Wolverine but Vergil’s attack is not as invincible and is easier to react to.
  • He does seem like a very strong character but he will not be easy to use at all.
  • Some of his assists become buffed when used with Devil Trigger.
  • His swords hyper is really good. The variation that puts the swords over the opponent’s head is crazy since they come down slowly and are not a blockstring. I can confirm this since I blocked the 1st sword that came down and was hit by the 2nd one.

oohh this one is going to be sooooo nasty.

1748

easy sword>teleport>sword mixup incoming. Guess right.

1749

That pinwheel sword lowers the damage scaling >.< BS, I rather do a sick combo linking into Vergil Spiral Swords and Strange EoA, and locking the player in the corners.

1750

Well now the crown swords makes a lot more sense in it’s application. It’s basically like a super sent drones assist on top of your head. LOL.

1751

So Vergil is basically a strider with more health and a lvl 2 mixup = striders level 3?? God i just want to play vergil in this gammmmmmmmeee

1752

So, I’m a bit confused, has the Sword Storm (Crown Swords) been confirmed to reduce the damage a lot, due to damage scaling? Or were they saying it doesn’t scale as poorly as regular Spiral Swords? (Hate the wording in talking about damage scaling, since it can be counter-intuitive…)

1753

I wonder if RR can borrow under the crown so it misses, besides that it’s an instant let me in super for the cost of 2 meters pretty crazy.

1754

Vergil’s crown swords is the ultimate anti-Dark Phoenix tech.

1755

Based on footage so far I believe the sword crown may only provide a mix up opportunity between the first and second shot. Each blade seems to come progressively quicker. For example in the assist me vid by Max all 6 swords hit the opponent but only 5 combo into one another. This could mean the crown eventually become a block string

1756

So the trick would be to wait for the first sword to hit then cross them up with a port so for the second sword they have to switch blocking directions still pretty good though neat trick.

1757

That Sword Storm will almost certainly be incredibly cheap, but it’s 2 meters to kill 1 character at best while Strider’s orbs for 3 meters can potentially finish off an entire team if the health of its characters are low enough. So it’s different cost for different rewards.

1758

do you build meter with Sword Storm active?

1759

nope.

1760

nah i wouldnt say so, since if vergil gets hit he loses his swords, and he cant fill the screen with them anywhere near as much as strider can.
