Dark Slayer Style - The Vergil General Discussion Thread

Anybody/Anybody, Durp Vergil XF3. Don’t spend meters with the first 2 characters.

That doesn’t sound particularly fun, but you make a valid point. Maybe even Morrigan while I hide behind pillar spam / carpets on Dorm then.

LOL. On a serious note…like if that shit is really as good as it’s hyped to be…you really don’t need much team synergy. At glance any way it looks completely more devastating than XF3 Wesker so I mean unless you plan to use his assists for something…there’s no real other synergy you should need other than making sure you just stick to resets with your first 2 characters.

Structuring your team is for like real characters…not this throw guys in the back for comebacks stuff. Like a Phoenix team the only real synergy you need is just some best friends shit up first.

Well my original plan was to use him last for his assist. I really liked the look of his Rapid slashes, as I love Dormammu and wanted someone fun to use as an assist for teleport mix-ups. But after seeing how effective he is with meter I figured a battery character second might be useful. I wasn’t aiming to herp derp free wins.

Well that’s the thing…if you put this character in the back you aren’t looking for anything but that cuz why would you put this guy in the back and not have him come out with 3 to 4 meters? Especially when people feel his point game is just Captain America unsafe nothing to really worry about it unless you stack with assists.

Like I can only give you stuff in theory since the game is not out yet. In theory all you should need is Wolverine + Akuma, reset a lot…when they die Vergil comes out. Point character, assist, Vergil. Can’t get easier than that.

This is pretty much how I feel about this semi-phoenix playstyle everyone’s settling on for my 2nd main. I won’t drop him for anything but I will be spending the majority of my time at release working on Vergil’s on point game with less than 4 meters. I wanna be able to rip through 2 chars without x factor and blowing 4 meters. I feel like that’s not asking too much with an assist or 2

ALSO…my hype for the game has come full circle and i’m back to meh mostly because isadelica did almost everything I was planning to do with Vergil’s combos day one then added flash to it. All cause gamestop didn’t wanna gimme my copy early :frowning:

Definitely hype for those Round Trip combos.

This and I’m going to try and make my Vergil - Judgment/Skrull - Orbital/Doom - Plasma team work when the game drops. What’s your thoughts guys? I’m really trying to make Vergil work on point.

That one with the Helm Breaker loops near the end was sick.

Word…we’ll be working on that together then. There’s no way a DMC character is good for nothing but hurp durp in the back. That defeats the point of a DMC character. They gotta be good EVERYWHERE on the team. LOL. Capcom failed if he’s only good in the back and at that point Skullgirls can’t come fast enough.

still running Derpgil on point or secondary. But then again, my team is like a CvS2 K groove team. Put in however you want. They all DHC off each other and generally work well off others assists.

You guys know what would be really cool? If vergil played more like this in UMVC3:

This is probably one of the sickest videos i have seen so far.

:eek: Wait wait wait wait…wait…wait… Vergil used 2 ground bounces in the mission combo during isadelica’s vid. Vergil has a ground bounce resetting move? Is it lunar phase?! What is this?! I do-

You’re talking about a DMC character. This is standard fare. LOL.

Beowolf too good on any Sparda sibling lol.

Probably some influence from the TST videos in Vergil already, making summoned swords just a regular move would probably really broken or nerfed to the point where it just doesn’t matter.

Hey Can someone make a Vergil Video thread?

Now that I have free time, I’ll get on that. It will take me some time to gather all the good footage, so please be patient.

The name will be “Now I’m a little motivated! - The Vergil Video Thread”.

Although I’m fond of “Where’s your motivation? - The Vergil Video Thread”.

I really like “Now I’m a little Motivated!” that sounds awesome
Expect me to put a Ton of matchs there. I will be doing arcade mode, Ranked & players matchs!
gotta wait till I get the game though. lol

Damn, sick swords mode 50/50’s too at the end, you can’t even see them coming before they hit you lmao. That’s an insane amount of derp if used well o_o. Although I still think he’s a bit to overrated right now, but he’ll for sure be an amazing character, very meter heavy to do sicker stuff though it seems still which is meh.

Im also still worried about safety, yea assists, but really I wanna be able to poke without having a disrupter behind my back all day. Not to mention, Dr.Strange for me might be Anchor and his beam seems to blow due to it missing often as assist, so im using the disks…but they don’t fire instantly so I can but also cant always make Vergil safe with that assist. Edit: @Tatsy, damn JC blockstring doesn’t work? Guaranteed main though, but I need better/other assist now.
