After close to a 100 tries,10+ hours lmaooo, literally had to SS-SSS every single battle without getting hit (maybe a few times), and use SDT on boss to finish it quickly.
Why tf did they make this shit so hard to S rank? Cant even imagine Human

This was on the DMC subreddit and I can't stop laughing.

I'm a sucker for these themed cafe's I'd love to go to one someday.

So regarding mission 11's boss...

Trish tries to tell Dante that Cavalier was... Before he cuts her off. What was she gonna say? Is he meant to be Alastor after all?

Dante has a habit of running away whenever someone wants to tell him something and it's all "AUGH. DANTE. YOU DUMBASS." .... :(
I don't think they ever explained what Trish was going to tell him either. SUSPENSE FOREVER.

Why is there a penalty for using checkpoints, but not for closing the game and continuing afterwards.

GwyndolinCinder · Mar 16, 2019

Are we still spoiler tagging nero mechanics? Found an interesting use for tomboy lol

Psychotron · Mar 16, 2019

Beat the game tonight. Had to use my first gold orb on the final boss. Great game that I plan to go through again.

As I understand it:

She's talking about Urizen being Vergil, which Dante already knows. She then asks V about it but his silence confirms what she suspects.

Trish is talking about Urizen actually being Vergil.

Waddle Dee · Mar 16, 2019

Welp, that thread went great. I'm just happy Itsuno stuck with Capcom to grace us with this game. Also, Ruben is possibly more than just a nutjob but also maybe just a bad person? Didn't watch the part of the interview that some people in the thread were talking about but it's a shame if that's true. He does a good job of hiding that when he's with fans or people at Capcom.

I can't wrap my head around how that professional reviewer didn't understand what opinions are.

Hopefully they offer better themed foods than the Capcom Bar, which was a bit underwhelming. I guess the problem would be how you can make something distinctively DMC while also making it taste good.

On a vaguely related note, I'm so salty I never got to go to the Kirby Cafe. That one had legit amazing looking food and I heard it actually tasted good, too (apparently not common in many themed cafe's).

I mean, they had these:

Tomboy is hard for me to use because I'm always holding R2 with Nero and so he goes straight into the gun. It's hard to get used to even after so many hours.

the real question is why cant you reset near a wall to practice bounds, which are super important with V

Chaos2Frozen · Mar 16, 2019

Post game Nero is pretty much as complicated as Dante in my books, so much shit to keep track of.

Exceed
Devil Breakers
Charge shot
Devil Bringer

I originally didn't want to bother with charge shot, then I tested it out in the Void and found out a Lv 3 shot does as much damage as an Overture Bomb.

I'm definitely not going to bother with Bringer Knuckle atm.

AgentOtaku · Mar 16, 2019

holy shit, when the action kicks in, this makes my PS4 Pro CUH7200 sound like a launch model

I think you should tag that fam, not everyone here is done with the game first round.

Also there's nothing worse than hitting the dpad to go to royal guard and hearing Dante yell "gunslinger!"

Input error or 360 pad sucks (playing on pc), up to you

It's as bad as an accidental hard drop in Tetris 99

I have had this happen with DS4. A down input can register as left.

Trying to royal block cavalier and doing fireworks instead 😢

I was excited throughout the game to find out when he gets it because it was obvious it was gonna happen. Did not expect the game to open my present in such a spectacular way. Best mechanic unveil in any action game ever.

On SoS and DMD you need 5.5k. DH and Human are more lenient and only need 5k.

Haloid1177 · Mar 16, 2019

As my first DMC, lawd this game is fun. Still figuring out mechanics and the best ways to combo, but I'm averaging anywhere from B-S right now on mission rankings so I'm happy. Some of the most fun I've had with a game in a long time.

SurrenderDorothy · Mar 16, 2019

Getting C on Mission 18 SOS feels bad fam.

And I was doing so well too, during this playthrough.

I don't think it is really.

I mean I watched the damn final trailer after all, lol.

daase ko · Mar 16, 2019

I was all fine with dante then a new v mission and I picked griffon while fighting the knight first lol
Fortunately the other bosses went down fast.
The way they integrated three modes in the nunchak is well thought out, the weapon has good hit feedback too.
It seems that when i did a balrog uppercut and devil triggered, it did the distorsion effect but I don't know , should try again in training.

Damn thats sux, is there a possibility Capcom nerfs the S ranks so its easier to get or is it just our only hope to go SSS every battle without getting hit on the harder missions?

They're not going to nerf it.

The system for missions is pretty good and the multiplier actually helps a lot of people.

You don't have to SSS every battle or don't take any damage to get a S. Even iif you only get As the multiplier alone for No Continues will boost you up to S.

poofynamanama2 · Mar 16, 2019

Dante is so fucking hard to wrap my head around. I never messed around with style switching in 4 because it was too much to handle but I really want to be able to play him optimally. I have DSD and Balrog equipped, punch/blow mode combined with sword master moveset changes are just o.O

Anyone have vidoes of good starter combos? I can jump cancel and all that jazz. Just need to get used to changing weapons and styles mid combo again

They should at least adjust the three missions (10, 12 and 18) that people are having trouble with.

It seems to be a pretty consistent issue and the same missions are brought up over and over.

Nope, I had all As on that M10 run and no continues and still got an A.

One way you are almost guaranteed an S is if you no damage a mission since that multiplies your score by 2.

Carbonox · Mar 16, 2019

They don't need to nerf the ranking system - they need to fix the inconsistencies with how it clearly works on specific missions (namely 10 and one or two others). It's clear as day it's not handled well in those. Playing through hundreds of replays of missions highlights this to such a glaring degree that there's no way there's not something wrong with the affected ones. That and the fact everyone is picking the same three missions throughout this thread as problematic. Absolutely not a gitgud thing.

You're not guaranteed anything since there's also certain criterias for diff multipliers.

It's also M10 which is the odd one out.

Say that to mission 10, the multiplier barely helps, you have to be perfect 90% of the battles or youre not going to get S rank, meanwhile some other Dante missions you can easily get S rank first playthrough, its not balanced right

This is easily my favorite DMC game. I went ahead and bought the deluxe upgrade today. This deserves to be supported.

Well yeah, M10 is what we're talking about.

And your style points would need to be terribad if you don't get an S with the no damage multiplier.

Ciphyde · Mar 16, 2019

I basically became a Dante semi-pro because I replayed mission 10 a hundred times, so I guess thats 1 positive from this
