DMC 5 Vergil actually enjoys himself sometimes. I guess experiencing life as V helped him dump a good portion of his DMC 3/4 edgelord persona. This is the best Vergil and nobody can change my mind.

Learning that he was his son really must've hit him because of this reason. His fears and nightmares come from the fact that no one's ever been there for him, but Nero's good heart changed this thought for good

Just look at his ex taunt.
I honestly prefer the summoned sword version of Force Edge to the "real" version. It makes it more distinct from Yamato and the idea of Vergil making a giant summoned sword that he has to physically swing around is really cool.
Also the fact that he's strong enough to make a summoned sword version thats equal in sharpness and damage as the real one These upgrades are slight details imo that Vergil has grown not just because of his humanity, but with the apple also had an affect.
It's also cool because the whole idea of Summoned Swords is something that seems to be a special trait in the Sparda bloodline. Vergil can do it, Dante can do it, heck even Nero can do it. Nico describes Mirage Edge as Vergil "Swinging his soul around like a blade", same with Nero summoning that spectral Yamato in Showdown. They can just create swords for themselves to use by hand anytime they want.
Imma be honest. Its only when you land 4 judgment cuts back to back in DMC 5 because he says jackpot on the 4th and final Cut. Meaning he's more human after the confrontation with Dante.
Definitely fitting for Vergil to completely forgo his regular DT in favor of his SDT now that he has it. Now that he has a clearly more powerful form, it makes sense to me that Vergil would focus on mastering its immense strength completely, to the point that he can move like he normally does with it, in contrast to Dante, whose SDT seems more powerful but unwieldy, if the alternate moveset and more lengthy activation are anything to go by. Fits just as well given that his normal DT meter can now be dedicated to mirage blades and doppelganger without having to worry about wasting SDT meter.

@@John-dd8kh concentration is vergil's mechanic, makes him more powerful alongside granting access to certain attacks and combos (i.e Judgement Cut End)
Those little jumps r to make him more mobile and to make it easier to react and stay light. I practiced boxing for a while and we all had to do this, pretty usefull😅
To be honest, DMC5 Vergil's attacks look way better when he is at Level 2 or higher concentration, the only thing i think DMC4 Vergil is better at is attacks on DT and the summoned swords. Both look amazing
@@NappaCarl Before, Vergil used to say "Need more power" but when transforming into Sin Devil Trigger he says "This is power" meaning that he reached his maximum level and no longer seeks any more power.
I love how everything DMC4 Vergil does has that slightly added aggression to it while 5 Vergil seems more elegant and refined, even some of his voice lines like just grunting or when they do the JCE, 4 Vergil's "You shall die" has more...Malice to it if that makes sense.
Yeah it's really perceptive, tbe DMC5 vergil is more funny and has more "personality", i like this new version of him, give him some deep, i feel like the older older one was just like "I want power i love power because yeah and i hate humans". The new one seems more arrogant in a fanny way, a little "cool cliche"
@@fireclaire9360 Not really funny but more "complete" This Vergil has reaccepted his humanity and had a grand ol time with his son. The way I timeline it is that DMC5 Vergil is his character at the end of the game, while DMC4 Vergil is how he was before or during the early parts of DMC3
I prefer the feel for DMC5, it's so much cleaner. But the anime style of 4 is pretty sweet too NGL...I'm not a huge fan of all the lighter blue in 5 tho, I wish the colors were just a tad darker but im just nitpicking
It's probably because dmc5 Vergil is evil no longer in the end, so that's why his color scheme is a bit more lighter. Looks really sweet, I prefer cyan Vergil. I do miss darker voice line of dmc3/4 tho
@@ErectusEnormous Or maybe its him resonating with the force edge, his father's power. Vergil was always known to be more sensitive to that stuff, and we know that in dmc1 the power of sparda was represented by dark red colorations. Vergil channels a dark purple aura at times in his attacks. What's the mixture of red and blue? Purple. This is what vergil could have been, and how he would have conquered the underworld from mundus. That's why dante went with him this time, so he wouldn't be alone again. The same way dante had his mother and father with him to stand against mundus, in spirit, so too is dante with his brother to heal his heart.
An interesting detail to note: beyond taking a second longer to steady himself upon landing, many of Vergils strikes either become slightly longer, or slightly shorter, with some ends strikes that happen simultaneously swinging ever so slightly further around. This implies, if only slightly, a refinement of his technique, since most of the swings he increases the swing radius for had already put him far beyond normal guard positions, so if he's already going all out for a swing, there's no point in failing to put his full force behind the swing. The strikes he takes longer for might be ones he considers safer to continue doing for a moment longer, while ones he shortens may similarly be ones he considers unsafe to keep performing for too long, or he may simply have gotten faster at performing the same number of strikes. Small details, but if you assume them to be deliberate, it creates an interesting unspoken storytelling opportunity.
I enjoy the subtle changes in Vergil's movements in DMC5. It really makes it seem more realistic having a character's limbs slightly move in certain ways (obviously). It really made me reappreciate the advance in technology to allow for such subtle animations to be commonplace in games that take the time
11:02 I think that explains why in DMC4, summoned swords are gigantic. For the purpose of this taunt, Vergil uses a summoned sword and DMC5 Vergil uses Mirage Edge (he event puts his hand on the blade).
@@neardarkroad1347 dmc5 already has a very chaotic effects and adding big sonic booming swords would peobably add mo on the pile if anything, imo the game is effects galore
@@harlowviv2968 no, actually dmc 5 vergil is the correct way to hold a katana without an armor but If a samurai wears an armor they do it like dmc 4 vergil, but if you notice when he attacks he switch how he holds the Yamato which is kinda irritating.
It's a neat change. It makes him seem less aggressive, since he's showing the back of the blade to his front, meaning he has to make conscious effort to switch his grip and draw to cut things. Seems more fitting for Papa Vergil. At least that's how I see it.
@Hermaphrodeity I mean it's not that hard to flip the sword when you are going to use it , besides is more comfortable at least for me putting the edge side upwards is easier to carry around , plus you get a little less friction when you draw
Vergil in 4 was already fun as hell and added so much to the game itself, 5 literally took 4 and literally turned it into perfection with 0 flaws, now that’s what i call the perfect DLC character🙏
DmC 5 looks beautiful, hands down, the particle effects and motion waves are pure awesomeness on top of graphics. But I must say I liked more the darker colors of Vergil's energy on DMC4, also, the Summoned Swords were overall better back then, specially that "mach crush" effect, made it feel more dramatic
@@Adel508Tkd dont see how lmao the characters designs changed with the story. Vergil wasnt as dark because he didnt have the darkness clouding his mind that he had before.
@@rpgfanatic9719 i think, you see that video, when DMC 5 Vergil's concentration gauge is empty DMC 5 Vergil adds more special effects, the more the gauge filled You'd have to see his moves at full gauges The effects, you could say It's one of the best from action hack & slash game
11:09 I completely forgot they had idle animations I remember going down stairs for a snack I came back up and Vergil was stood with his arms crossed facing the camera like he was judging me lol
It speaks wonders that looking at these back to back, I find only LITTLE things between one or the other I like more, unlike DmC where all of Vergil's moves felt so anemic.
My only complaint in 5 is that Summoned Swords/Mirage Swords don't pop out as much and don't have as much impact as in 4. It's especially apparent how they leave a "shockwave" as they shoot really fast, and how Heavy Rain really stands out in 4 unlike 5. Otherwise everything is mostly improved!
Design wise its pretty smart changing Vergil purple and Dark coloured Special Effect's into bright blue one for DmC V. Purple Effects will not pop out especially in high speed or LDK mode bright coloured effect in a dim light and DMC V enviroment will Pop out and nice Visual cue. Lore wise shows Vergil no longer draw powers and Motivation from darkness anymore. His Yamato is bright blue and cut the dimension itself, not purple and looks pretty heavy, his beowulf no longer producing purple lights, and of course the F/M edge. Well basically FE is your everyday Sword without the perfect medallion it can't do jack shits, basically all the crazy shit Vergil produce his moveset those black aura's is his, now M.E is his demonic power materialize, like his usual summonned swords but longer to fit his heights and reach, in conclusion both F/M edges is using vergil own demon power, so yeah.. unlike his usual black aura in force edge brighter effects for Mirage Edge makes sense, shows vergil new brighter path.
@@MrNoorIskandar it wasn't so bad gameplay wise. The story, oh boy... It would have been fine if it was an alternative universe from start, but no, they wanted it to be the new dmc... Ugh.
It seems like DMC5 Vergil is a bit faster than DMC4 Vergil in some moves, while slower in others, and for some - like "F/M Combo B" - straight up removing some moves from the combo, but still ending each of them in nearly the same place, and keeping the combo structure intact. I'm headcannoning that to be Vergil refining his fighting style over the years, even while corrupted.
@@ErectusEnormous Vergil was Never Evil. He and Dante just have difficult life styles. Vergil wanted power cause he didn't want to feel weak as the Night Demons attacked his home.

Vergil has more move for those 3 weapons for every entry, felt like Vergil is a keeper and refine it unlike dante just threw it away and sell it for cash
I like how they acknowledge how they nailed it with the Devil Trigger forms with 3 by making Dante and Vergil's Sin Devil Triggers just buffed versions of the ones from DMC3. Heck, the didn't give Vergil a DMC4-version of his Devil Trigger. Went straight to SDT. That's motivation.
I love that each move performed are timed perfectly side by side also the taunts if so well together I also I notice that the mirage blade that Vergil use is the sword that he used in dmc 4 just look at the shape of it

Also the one saying zuuuuh has the SDT voice reverb. Even though both there voices are reverbed, you can hear the difference. Same with dantes regular DT in 5 and 4. There different too
@@oreoex-rwbyhater599 yes he has but I think the DMC5 doesn’t have the cool voice factor as DMC4’s. Also I think in demon forms, staying quiet until the high damaging moves is better since.. idk I’m a DMC3 fan lol
There's similarities but DMCV is much more refined and Vergil seems much more into his swings, even if it's a fairly subtle movement. I think that's cool
I love that beowolf and Balrog could so easily he associated with fighting games. Especially since the dragon punch they do is also a term used for an invincible move in fighting games. A notable "DP" is Ryu from street fighter's shoreyuken Edit: Vergils Dragon breaker is literally a version of Ken's DP that you can see in street fighter 5, I'm not sure if len had the same animation in 4 though
Something that I miss about 4 and prior iterations is how his coat is a crucial part of the move sillouete, selling the effect, framing the animation, and just looling cool as hell, kicking up from the force. 5 vergil just has physic cloak and I miss those stylish details they handed off to gwafics
I actually liked dmc 4 jce more bcuz u can see the after images when he comes back to sheath his yamato..and I also liked the sound effects of 4 jce too but dmc 5 looks cool as well with that cutting reality like glass.
@@Darkslayer1993 i saw somewhere that because he has after images, it means hes still slow enough to be seen, just as a blur. after eating the qliphoth fruit, he got even faster , so fast he shatters reality
I gotta be honest, with the Summoned Swords i like the look and animations of DMC4SE more than the DMC5 ones, in DMC5 they're smaller and loose a little impact when you shoot them.
For me personally, both have their upsides. Mirage Blades doesn't have the speed blast effect (the white smoke and sounds). That does sound less impressive physically, but it has the benefit of highlighting the magical, ethereal, small-yet-deadly nature of the spectral swords.
Oh I had no idea that they were held differently depending on armor! I was taught to hold it the dmc 5 way. Probably because no one wears armor in martial arts!
It goes to show how much more refined he is in DMC5. I’ve seen people complain about Vergil seeming slower with his movements in DMC5, but if you notice, Vergil is actually using less movement while achieving the same amount of speed and attacks. He’s actually refined his style where he’s wasting less movement and achieving maximum results. This is exactly the thing that Martial Artists strive to achieve in real combat. Operating from a relaxed state, commanding 100% of his power, striking with complete efficiency, with little to no cost to his stamina let alone energy. If anything, Vergil has gotten faster and more at ease with his capabilities.
I feel that both DMC 4 and DMC5 Vergil are great in their own way. DMC 4 Vergil being the youngest version of course he is flashy and faster, while DMC 5 is the oldest version more matured in character and more subtle not as flashy. And Capcom probably has noticed DMC4 Vergil is way too op for DMC4 so probably made DMC5 Vergil less op to balance the game.
I like the concentration mechanic dmc5 added not only does it add to the vergil gameplay to make it feel different from the rest but just character wise it makes sense since Vergil style was always about speed and precision cuts to do the real damage
I think the only difference is the effects and the fact that boss vergil uses summon swords whereas playable vergil uses some kind of new variant called mirage blades
Overall effect & trick ability is much better on a boss mode, when tricking to the enemy Vergil is ACTUALLY teleporting...not moving really fast. In the DLC his multiple afterimage leaving a trail of movement speed, in a boss version he's only leaving a single afterimage and then teleporting away from the map without exact pinpoint location
I would pick DMC4 for the sound effects and animation because how impactful every hit is I would pick DMC5 for the design and hit effects it was an upgrade overall from DMC4 Overall i would still pick DMC4 just because i really love how impactful the sound and animation is
I would pick dmc4 for the color, Vergil's attack VFX usually blend with Vergil's outfit, dmc4's outfit will create more attack color variety for the attacks, take lunar phase for example, dmc4 outfit has mint blue,yellow and DT version has purple and blue to compliment for the outfits, while dmc5 Vergil's attacks color stays static because of his almost black blue outfit, thus only blue, white blue, white to compliment dmc5 vergil, not that dmc5 Vergil is bad it just boring to look at especially with dmc5 game itself lack of color
Man, they really did that JCE justice in DMC 5, but I do miss the amount of wind-up it had in DMC 4. Made it feel so much more satisfying if the attack landed. I also really hope Rising Sun will be its own move again someday in a future DMC
DMC4 Vergil has something I actually miss in DMC5 Vergil persona. I don't know what it is, but maybe because I like the idea of Vergil being young, visiting Fortuna, studying his fathers legacy, being intellectual, reading poetry like William Blake, a more "happy" Vergil. And his attack in DMC4 has more "punch" behind every swing. The effects look more theatrical, bombastic. Its insane! DMC4 Engine is decades old! The game came out 2008!! And the graphics of DMC4 still looking really nice! Alone the attack and special effect sounds are tense! Such a cool Engine, I like the art style a lot! After DMC3,, and his downfall through his insanity and obsession with power, he became a slave to Mundus for decades.. In DMC5 Vergil redeemed himself and thats beautiful, but DMC4 Vergil, before DMC3, this kind of Vergil is character wise more appealing to me. But I love the DMC5 Vergil as well, because he accepted that he has a family and that he has people that love him and care about him. I just like the Energy before the events of DMC3. This young Vergil is on his own adventure, excited and ambitious. Would really love to see a full Vergil game, like a standalone, CAPCOM make it real it! And no offense, nut DMC3 and 4 Coat/Jacket and overall Vergils clothes are way cooler than DMC5. The coat in 4 is bad ass, the deep royal blue, looks almost like a Jim Hendrix Jacket.
I love how Vergil gets a little too *MOTIVATED* at the end of his Beowulf combos and then he remembers "right, I'm the cool, stoic, and statuesque guy". He _almost_ enjoys himself for a second there.

I really feel like you should've done this comparison with both versions at full concentration. It makes the attacks a lot flashier.
You mean, full MOTIVATION?
What do you mean by full concentration? Like full screen one by one rather than split screen?
@@John-dd8kh concentration is vergil's mechanic, makes him more powerful alongside granting access to certain attacks and combos (i.e Judgement Cut End)
@@John-dd8kh Play as Vergil and you'll know what it is.
@@kin4386 Then you found out he plays DMC3 Vergil which doesn't have concentration
With the Beowulf, 5's Vergil does a little bounce after every attacks while 4 just stops. Old Vergil do gets a bit playful after a while.
Those little jumps r to make him more mobile and to make it easier to react and stay light.
I practiced boxing for a while and we all had to do this, pretty usefull😅
To be honest, DMC5 Vergil's attacks look way better when he is at Level 2 or higher concentration, the only thing i think DMC4 Vergil is better at is attacks on DT and the summoned swords. Both look amazing
And the dmc4 voicelines sound a bit better imo. Sounds more, motivated.
@@NappaCarl For voicelines, yeah definitely, but i prefer the SDT lines of dmc5 more like "I'LL CUT YOU IN TWO"
@@NappaCarl its the youth, dmc5 vergil is old and tired and mellowed
@@NappaCarl DMC5 Vergil says jackpot, that's enough to me
@@NappaCarl Before, Vergil used to say "Need more power" but when transforming into Sin Devil Trigger he says "This is power" meaning that he reached his maximum level and no longer seeks any more power.

5のVERGILの真魔人化した時のもう一つの台詞何て言ってますか？
Your nightmare begins here
の事ですか？
I love how everything DMC4 Vergil does has that slightly added aggression to it while 5 Vergil seems more elegant and refined, even some of his voice lines like just grunting or when they do the JCE, 4 Vergil's "You shall die" has more...Malice to it if that makes sense.
Ya, you can really see it when he is doing his s/b moves
Yeah it's really perceptive, tbe DMC5 vergil is more funny and has more "personality", i like this new version of him, give him some deep, i feel like the older older one was just like "I want power i love power because yeah and i hate humans". The new one seems more arrogant in a fanny way, a little "cool cliche"
@@fireclaire9360
Not really funny but more "complete" This Vergil has reaccepted his humanity and had a grand ol time with his son. The way I timeline it is that DMC5 Vergil is his character at the end of the game, while DMC4 Vergil is how he was before or during the early parts of DMC3
I prefer the feel for DMC5, it's so much cleaner. But the anime style of 4 is pretty sweet too NGL...I'm not a huge fan of all the lighter blue in 5 tho, I wish the colors were just a tad darker but im just nitpicking
it makes sense that force edge is light blue cause its literally a giant summon sword, vergils summon swords are already small force edges
It's probably because dmc5 Vergil is evil no longer in the end, so that's why his color scheme is a bit more lighter. Looks really sweet, I prefer cyan Vergil. I do miss darker voice line of dmc3/4 tho
I want the darker blue vergil in dmc5. Not this light blue. His summoned swords were perfect but when u play as him they're ugly
Nah I feel that too
@@ErectusEnormous
Or maybe its him resonating with the force edge, his father's power.
Vergil was always known to be more sensitive to that stuff, and we know that in dmc1 the power of sparda was represented by dark red colorations.
Vergil channels a dark purple aura at times in his attacks.
What's the mixture of red and blue?
Purple.
This is what vergil could have been, and how he would have conquered the underworld from mundus.
That's why dante went with him this time, so he wouldn't be alone again.
The same way dante had his mother and father with him to stand against mundus, in spirit, so too is dante with his brother to heal his heart.
An interesting detail to note: beyond taking a second longer to steady himself upon landing, many of Vergils strikes either become slightly longer, or slightly shorter, with some ends strikes that happen simultaneously swinging ever so slightly further around. This implies, if only slightly, a refinement of his technique, since most of the swings he increases the swing radius for had already put him far beyond normal guard positions, so if he's already going all out for a swing, there's no point in failing to put his full force behind the swing. The strikes he takes longer for might be ones he considers safer to continue doing for a moment longer, while ones he shortens may similarly be ones he considers unsafe to keep performing for too long, or he may simply have gotten faster at performing the same number of strikes. Small details, but if you assume them to be deliberate, it creates an interesting unspoken storytelling opportunity.
I enjoy the subtle changes in Vergil's movements in DMC5. It really makes it seem more realistic having a character's limbs slightly move in certain ways (obviously). It really made me reappreciate the advance in technology to allow for such subtle animations to be commonplace in games that take the time
He’s also clearly enjoying it more
11:02 I think that explains why in DMC4, summoned swords are gigantic. For the purpose of this taunt, Vergil uses a summoned sword and DMC5 Vergil uses Mirage Edge (he event puts his hand on the blade).
Dmc5 mirage blades just don't have that insane mach speed blast effect as summoned swords.
Yeah, sadly. It lack that Oomph from dmc4 mirage blade.
Luckily, pc mods might fix that.
@@ultraspinalki11 Let's hope so.
@@neardarkroad1347 dmc5 already has a very chaotic effects and adding big sonic booming swords would peobably add mo on the pile if anything, imo the game is effects galore
@@cheekyfantasy1314 big sonic booming swords? I don't see that with vergil.
I like how fast Vergil is. In Yamato combo A, he actually switches the orientation of his sword 3 times
In conclusion:
Dmc4: more savage, and a little bit more aggressive.
Dmc5: more concentrated and cleaner.
And dmc5 is more M O T I V A T E D
Tbh dmc5 vergil attacks look way better and honestly cooler then dmc4s when u hit concentrateion lvl 2
you can also look at it as young vergil vs older vergil
@Gero Xnoxville are saying that dmc vergil is better than 5 or just has cooler looking animations
@Gero Xnoxville that's definitely an opinion
Ever notice they both hold Yamato differently in their hand?
In vergils defense, hes spent years without it being Mundos' bodygaurd.
@@harlowviv2968 no, actually dmc 5 vergil is the correct way to hold a katana without an armor but If a samurai wears an armor they do it like dmc 4 vergil, but if you notice when he attacks he switch how he holds the Yamato which is kinda irritating.
the more you know
It's a neat change. It makes him seem less aggressive, since he's showing the back of the blade to his front, meaning he has to make conscious effort to switch his grip and draw to cut things. Seems more fitting for Papa Vergil.
At least that's how I see it.
@Hermaphrodeity I mean it's not that hard to flip the sword when you are going to use it , besides is more comfortable at least for me putting the edge side upwards is easier to carry around , plus you get a little less friction when you draw
Perfect judgement cut sound in dmc4 is much more satisfying
My opinion is the same, but only adds a secondary effect
Vergil in 4 was already fun as hell and added so much to the game itself, 5 literally took 4 and literally turned it into perfection with 0 flaws, now that’s what i call the perfect DLC character🙏
DmC 5 looks beautiful, hands down, the particle effects and motion waves are pure awesomeness on top of graphics. But I must say I liked more the darker colors of Vergil's energy on DMC4, also, the Summoned Swords were overall better back then, specially that "mach crush" effect, made it feel more dramatic
Yeah but... they fucked up the character design there for dmc5.
@@Adel508Tkd dont see how lmao the characters designs changed with the story. Vergil wasnt as dark because he didnt have the darkness clouding his mind that he had before.
They are both really good but I think the anime style from dmc4 and 3 is what we see when we say "Devil May Cry"
DMC4 is better in every way, there are simply more color effects on everything.
@@rpgfanatic9719 i think, you see that video, when DMC 5 Vergil's concentration gauge is empty
DMC 5 Vergil adds more special effects, the more the gauge filled
You'd have to see his moves at full gauges
The effects, you could say It's one of the best from action hack & slash game
Watching this made me realize how tiny Vergil’s head was in DMC 4 compared to 5
I thought I was the only one
it's because canon vergil is tall af.
the actor for vergil in dmc5 isn't as tall as canonical vergil is supposed to be.
It's because everyone in DMC4 was a gigantic 8 foot giant in proportion.
11:09 I completely forgot they had idle animations I remember going down stairs for a snack I came back up and Vergil was stood with his arms crossed facing the camera like he was judging me lol

My only complaint in 5 is that Summoned Swords/Mirage Swords don't pop out as much and don't have as much impact as in 4. It's especially apparent how they leave a "shockwave" as they shoot really fast, and how Heavy Rain really stands out in 4 unlike 5. Otherwise everything is mostly improved!
Design wise its pretty smart changing Vergil purple and Dark coloured Special Effect's into bright blue one for DmC V.
Purple Effects will not pop out especially in high speed or LDK mode bright coloured effect in a dim light and DMC V enviroment will Pop out and nice Visual cue.
Lore wise shows Vergil no longer draw powers and Motivation from darkness anymore.
His Yamato is bright blue and cut the dimension itself, not purple and looks pretty heavy, his beowulf no longer producing purple lights, and of course the F/M edge.
Well basically FE is your everyday Sword without the perfect medallion it can't do jack shits, basically all the crazy shit Vergil produce his moveset those black aura's is his, now M.E is his demonic power materialize, like his usual summonned swords but longer to fit his heights and reach, in conclusion both F/M edges is using vergil own demon power, so yeah.. unlike his usual black aura in force edge brighter effects for Mirage Edge makes sense, shows vergil new brighter path.

@@MrNoorIskandar it wasn't so bad gameplay wise. The story, oh boy... It would have been fine if it was an alternative universe from start, but no, they wanted it to be the new dmc... Ugh.
It seems like DMC5 Vergil is a bit faster than DMC4 Vergil in some moves, while slower in others, and for some - like "F/M Combo B" - straight up removing some moves from the combo, but still ending each of them in nearly the same place, and keeping the combo structure intact.

やっぱり次元斬・絶はカッコいいなぁ、、、、
I love that beowolf and Balrog could so easily he associated with fighting games. Especially since the dragon punch they do is also a term used for an invincible move in fighting games. A notable "DP" is Ryu from street fighter's shoreyuken
Edit: Vergils Dragon breaker is literally a version of Ken's DP that you can see in street fighter 5, I'm not sure if len had the same animation in 4 though
The Rising Sun is basically a Genocide Cutter as well.
Something that I miss about 4 and prior iterations is how his coat is a crucial part of the move sillouete, selling the effect, framing the animation, and just looling cool as hell, kicking up from the force.

I gotta be honest, with the Summoned Swords i like the look and animations of DMC4SE more than the DMC5 ones, in DMC5 they're smaller and loose a little impact when you shoot them.
For me personally, both have their upsides. Mirage Blades doesn't have the speed blast effect (the white smoke and sounds). That does sound less impressive physically, but it has the benefit of highlighting the magical, ethereal, small-yet-deadly nature of the spectral swords.

It goes to show how much more refined he is in DMC5. I’ve seen people complain about Vergil seeming slower with his movements in DMC5, but if you notice, Vergil is actually using less movement while achieving the same amount of speed and attacks. He’s actually refined his style where he’s wasting less movement and achieving maximum results. This is exactly the thing that Martial Artists strive to achieve in real combat. Operating from a relaxed state, commanding 100% of his power, striking with complete efficiency, with little to no cost to his stamina let alone energy. If anything, Vergil has gotten faster and more at ease with his capabilities.
I think I prefer the purple effects than the blue ones
that scarecrow sound was adorable
They actually designed Vergil's new normal DT form in the game. I'm a little disappointed we didn't get to play it.
It kinda makes sense lore-wise considering that Vergil would prefer a more powerful super mode
I feel that both DMC 4 and DMC5 Vergil are great in their own way. DMC 4 Vergil being the youngest version of course he is flashy and faster, while DMC 5 is the oldest version more matured in character and more subtle not as flashy. And Capcom probably has noticed DMC4 Vergil is way too op for DMC4 so probably made DMC5 Vergil less op to balance the game.
Yup, in dmc4se, when using vergil in BP, just spam rapid slash and trick on almost all stage, no problem.
not sure what you mean, because DMC 5 Vergil is faster
I agree with the rest though
“made DMC5 Vergil less op” i mean… hell on earth
So that's why Vergil DT was broken as f*** in DMC4 , it was DMC5 SDT.
No it wasn't.

Boss vergil has better sound effects
Overall effect & trick ability is much better on a boss mode, when tricking to the enemy Vergil is ACTUALLY teleporting...not moving really fast. In the DLC his multiple afterimage leaving a trail of movement speed, in a boss version he's only leaving a single afterimage and then teleporting away from the map without exact pinpoint location
I would pick DMC4 for the sound effects and animation because how impactful every hit is
I would pick DMC5 for the design and hit effects it was an upgrade overall from DMC4
Overall i would still pick DMC4 just because i really love how impactful the sound and animation is
I would pick dmc4 for the color, Vergil's attack VFX usually blend with Vergil's outfit, dmc4's outfit will create more attack color variety for the attacks, take lunar phase for example, dmc4 outfit has mint blue,yellow and DT version has purple and blue to compliment for the outfits, while dmc5 Vergil's attacks color stays static because of his almost black blue outfit, thus only blue, white blue, white to compliment dmc5 vergil, not that dmc5 Vergil is bad it just boring to look at especially with dmc5 game itself lack of color

DMC4 Vergil has something I actually miss in DMC5 Vergil persona. I don't know what it is, but maybe because I like the idea of Vergil being young, visiting Fortuna, studying his fathers legacy, being intellectual, reading poetry like William Blake, a more "happy" Vergil. And his attack in DMC4 has more "punch" behind every swing. The effects look more theatrical, bombastic. Its insane! DMC4 Engine is decades old! The game came out 2008!! And the graphics of DMC4 still looking really nice! Alone the attack and special effect sounds are tense! Such a cool Engine, I like the art style a lot!
After DMC3,, and his downfall through his insanity and obsession with power, he became a slave to Mundus for decades.. In DMC5 Vergil redeemed himself and thats beautiful, but DMC4 Vergil, before DMC3, this kind of Vergil is character wise more appealing to me. But I love the DMC5 Vergil as well, because he accepted that he has a family and that he has people that love him and care about him. I just like the Energy before the events of DMC3. This young Vergil is on his own adventure, excited and ambitious.
Would really love to see a full Vergil game, like a standalone, CAPCOM make it real it! And no offense, nut DMC3 and 4 Coat/Jacket and overall Vergils clothes are way cooler than DMC5. The coat in 4 is bad ass, the deep royal blue, looks almost like a Jim Hendrix Jacket.
