We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
rereading it, i can sorta get it now, but it still feels confusing, at least as a non native speaker.
I can get the confusion, yeah
Yeah,i reinstalled the game in my ssd so i dunno how much of a diff it is.
My loading times are pretty fast but maybe the ps5 is a few secs faster than my ssd, i dunno.

He's always on the top spot for me. 🥰
Vergil going for the top spot
I'm not enjoying Vergil, I dunno. He's never been my favourite anyway but I actually prefer DmC and Dmc4 to this one
May just need more time to get comfortable, and turbo mode. Concentration is still a mechanic I don't enjoy. SSSS is a much better OP mechanic cause it feels earned, Vergils power moves are just cheap.
I get that's the point of the character but still

Yeah I'm not really a fan either, he just feels clunk central. I hated Super demon form for Dante , and I hate it just as much here.
I thought he felt clunky at first being used to turbo timings, but I got more used to him and I'm having more fun. I love the changes to air stinger for mobility which is a big plus because it was so bad outside of DT in 4SE. I would say Vergil feels less static movement wise compared to 4SE where grim trick was basically his only mobility outside of DT having down trick and better dodge. I use air stinger in battle a lot to move around.
I'm surprised that the thing which impressed me most when playing as him for the first time was the sound of his attacks/swings with Yamato... it's just soooo good.
He's a blast to plays as.
The only thing that sucks is the enemies feel even more like a sandbag as Vergil, but I guess that's DMC in general...

Vergil is kind of way too much fun to play with. I wish I could use him to help S rank everything that I already haven't done so yet.
Vergil is amazing. Just because he dosen't play like a ten year old game dosen't mean he's bad. He's so complex and fun to use.
It's pretty cool when just limited to SSSS usage, I love cancelling into a big angry demon and trick teleporting to enemies. Or using the SDT dodge to iframe mechanics.
Outside of that the basic SDT is the game's umbral climax, a mashing button. Unfortunately the Cerberus boss is completely balanced around it.
Yea I just really need turbo I think to enjoy this. I got too used to it, can't stand how the standard speed of dmc5 feels anymore

I wish Vergil had the Flare/Atomic move from DmC. More JFable moves are never a bad thing. Esp now that Distortion isn't really a thing.
No Ricoshot or Inverse Rainstorm for Dante feels like an omission too. All three feel like curious omissions considering how much DMC5 otherwise takes from DmC (Same with toggle lock-on and Must Style). Especially for Vergil.

It's under abilities it's a dodge mechanic, he also dodges better the higher your concentration meter as well.
Fedora, when?!
🤣
"A boss? This is supposed to have bosses? Feels all like regular enemies to me."
If they're gonna stick Vergil to Special Edition DLC with a mirror campaign, the least they could do is make him hilariously broken.
Yeah those are good ones, real shame. Flare/Atomic I can see being omitted if Vergil had a regular Volcano and not just a screen clear variant.

Yeah. Cyberpunk crashed so I was like fuck it ill just download Vergil and check him. 12 missions later...
And finished. Vergils sooo fun. My favorite iteration of him. Just love mastering 3x JC and just frame Beowulf charges. So addictive.
This reminds me of the cursed model swap for the scene. 🙈
Vergil be like: "You keep that dirty hat to yourself!"
Modders already working on modding Beowulf into Doppleganger
And now force edge (mirage edge, whatever)

The advantage of just getting the DLC is all the sweet red orbs you already have to buy Vergil's entire movelist.
Just went down the list and tried/bought everything, his move set is pretty boss. Love how they basically gave him a super move for each weapon.
Can't wait to dig into the campaign with him later.

Ok I got a question and I cant seem to find an answer to it anywhere: alongside Vergil they also added 4 classic battle tracks to the game as DLC, but the thing is the DLC outright tells me you can unlock them through gameplay instead. How do?

Looks like Vergil's upgraded jump for Beowulf has a ton of parry frames.
Dante has this upgrade too with Balrog but more often than not you end up evading instead of parrying.
With Vergil you are pretty much guaranteed to parry, and can even immediately cancel it into a trick dodge so Vergil doesn't even leave the ground after the parry. Looks and feels so satisfying. Completely owns Proto Angelo, Fury etc.
Looks like he also easily owns Judecca thanks to back+shoot (the homing launcher summon swords). Just one leaves it in a heavy stun.
EDIT: Okay, he has a piss easy way to handle pretty much any regular enemy -_-

By beat do you mean get the "I win yay" dialogue from Vergil or kill literally everything? Also is difficulty a factor? I got the "As if there was any doubt" dialogue on Son of Sparda and it didnt give it to me.

New tech: Vergil can skip to the ends of attacks and combos by going DT at the right instance. So for instance he can bypass the finishing hit of a base combo and instead go straight into the DT ender from the second to last attack of the base combo (example: 1, 2, lightning kicks to Tetsuzanko for Beowulf B).

Parrying with Vergil's Rising Dragon is my new favourite thing.
Just had two Scudo and one Proto Angelo charge at me at the same time and all parried for the win. The visual and aural feedback is so good.
The parry and dodge mechanics in DMC5 are bloody brilliant.

Vergil is the most fun character I've played in a minute. I never really understood the character on 4SE, but now, even though I still cant do perfect Judgement Cuts, I feel like I know what I should be doing and I'm actually doing a lot of it.
Using the rain down summoned swords just before a boss recovers from stun to land a last minute Hell on Earth is some of the most satisfying shit ever.
Hell on earth is generally one of my favorite DMC moves ever now

Just tried this out, definitely adding it to my arsenal.
I was bummed that they removed distortion for Dante so this is a welcome addition. Love stuff like this.
They nailed the balance between depth and accessibility with him.
He feels damn good to play even at low and intermediate levels. Super fun and effective from the getgo.

Seems super useful. Especially for getting into the final hit for SIN DT Yamato.
Spent the whole day doing SOS, DMD and LDK with Vergil today. Fingers are dead but my god is it fun. I dont know how to optimise fighting DMD Dante but at least I think I can consistently beat him without needing revives now. His moveset is crazy cool to figure out.
After adding vergil I think I can say DMC5 is the best action game ever without a doubt now.

That's DMC 5 in a nutshell thankfully. I'm just in that range and while DMC4 was fun too, I feel more in control all round in this game.
Sons of Sparda boss fight. The ultimate duo boss fight to end all duo boss fights.
Its vanilla soundtrack: Silver Bullet (with improvisation violin at the start)
Man, the whole Sparda clan from top to bottom might be a nightmare for every family therapist. XD
