DSD encapsulates what DMC is from both story and gameplay perspectives. It has a low skill floor and a high skill ceiling, and it also acts as Dante’s equivalent to the Yamato with his summon swords
Don't forget that it also incorporates Lucifer into itself.
Another reason the DSD is great: it has Aerial Rave as a basic move without the need to be in Swordmaster.
That's a blessing and a curse. It makes the grounding input more complex, and if your lock on fucks up suddenly you're air raving when you desperately wanted to get grounded and evade
not to mention u couldn’t use a helmbreaker with your back facing the enemy
@@rookieluke3550 Luckily Dante getting Ground Trick makes that one less of an issue, but yeah you're right
I've been using this mechanic to jump over Vergil and preemptively helmbreaker behind me as he's using rapidslash to deflect him
@@salsamancer well yeah, but to someone new to the series, it just feels better to have your basic aerial combo be on the same button as your basic ground combo.
Vergil: Uses his summoned sword abilities to meticulously hurt enemies no matter where he is or what he's doing.
Dante: Uses his summoned swords alongside his main sword for maximum swordage.
Dante's better in every single possible way.😊
@yba_sweatand dante can't do better than that in dmd?
I also love the lore of the weapon. Dante finally gets to use summoned swords like Vergil, but he uses it in a completely unique way that he likes which shows even more personality in the brothers. And the other thing I saw someone mention a while back, in sin devil trigger, when Dante uses his ultimate move judgement, the moves he uses are actually what we see from dmc1 with sparda in the first cutscene ever. Such a badass callback
Except that Dante summon swords is far better than Vergil. 😅
@@user-gr1gb7os2tnot really, Vergil's summoned swords are simply disposable.
Mirage Blade is a serious version of a summoned sword.
@@Skishe Still Dante summon sword are more versatile than vergil, Dante summon swords can help him in any kind of situation whether its defence, offence, evasion with each of his different styles etc. whereas Vergil summon swords are mainly made for offence and damage and temporary time slowing (this should also be counted as an offence and damage opportnity for vergil).
Vergils do that too lol, also are you going to tell me a 5 second freeze is not op?
@@cengix8850 yes… that’s why I said “like vergil”💀also what? Why are we talking about if something is op😂
Ahhh, that Nevan bait. I saw it coming, but still hurt.
A player by the name hell34caina found out that if you cancel mill stab with DSD at the right moment, you can stop your final sword thrust, but the sword formation will finish its Stingers attack. Pretty cool.
Dante's Conjured Swords > Vergil's Summoned Swords
One could also mention that Quickdrive in DMC5 is both busted as shit and super fun to use.
That move lets you just straight up initiate a juggle combo on an enemy that's like 80 feet removed from you, while barely taking a second to execute.
Was cool that you brought on AlfredKS for some clips here. One of my favourite Dantes to watch period.
And the video was again fantasically scripted and informative.
Hope there will be some more casual players watching that feel encouraged to go back to 5 and experiment with some fancy DSD setups. It really is a joy to use, and very approachable
both are equal. DSD’s are for combo extenders and extra hits and damage using them itself. SS is for giving you time with storm swords, quick auto bursts with blistering, a shield and extra damage with spiral swords and a ranged launch with the ones surrounding the enemy. its also kinda like how dante and vergil are. Vergil has fewer moves but each acts different and strong and can be used on their own and still be somewhat effective, dante has many that are strong, but are meant to connect into other moves with his conjured
@@theastroguy7417 the slowdown ones are called Heavy Rain Swords. Storm Swords are the ones that surround the enemy and launch them. Doesn't really matter tho
For me Dante's are more fun by default purely on the basis of them being button taps.
Vergil's directional 1 second holds I've never been a fan of. Even when remapping the button to L1 I've always found them awkward to use.
Dante's conjured swords are more comfortable on my fingers, the teleport DSDesychs look sick as hell and are really fun to execute, and the formations following your melee attacks in DT, while a lot aren't anything too interesting, some lead to some unique possibilities and are fun to mess around with
@@DestinySpider
fair enough but you can’t exactly call either one better when both serve to boost? express? improve? something that improves the gameplay of their specific character
@@theastroguy7417yup you idiot. Learn to accept facts first. Dante conjured swords are better than Vergil in every way. It can be used for attack, crowd control, defense, make your attacks stronger, projectiles, shit ton of combos, and is best for every situation. There is no situation where Dante conjured swords are not utilisable.
Whereas Vergil summoned swords are mainly for attacks only and you can't even summon some of them them at your will. You can't use them for your defense etc.
So Dante conjured swords = attack+defense+crowd control+ power+ projectile + making attack more stronger+ enhanced abilities + high combos potential.
Whereas Vergil summoned swords= attack only + far lower combo potential ict dante.
So yup Dante's is better in every single possible way. 😊
Calling back summoned swords with escort formation (which I'd like to refer as 'sword formation guard cancel') is one of the best thing with DSD for me.
This allows you connect various summoned sword moves quickly, and adds significant depth to each summoned sword moves.
I think another thing that bears mentioning is that chaser can persist after cancelling certain moves. This lets you do things like cancelling out of the last hit of aerial rave while retaining the knockback effect, allowing you to cancel the knockback with an E&I shot (something extremely difficult otherwise as the last hit of rave instantly puts the enemy on the ground); or cancelling out of turbulence creates a constant knockback area around Dante, letting you "carry" the enemy with sky star.
^^^^^^^^
Truuuue.
The moves that this applies to aren't many iirc (I haven't gotten to play 5 in a year), but that was one thing that was pretty fun to experiment with. The second swing of DSD Combo B, and also Cerberus Combo D (?) you can trickster dash out of, meanwhile the formation will still continue to hit, so you can use that to run up an enemy's body with mustang if you have it juggled low enough to the ground.
Really cool stuff
6:05 10:04 Alfred's combos jump scare.
But for real, thank you for having me, I loved how the vid turned! Keep it up!
Thanks again for submitting combos for the vid!
Shout out to Summoned Swords🙏
Gotta be one of my favorite fictional super powers fr
I love that the Devil Sword Dante is the only weapon that is introduced as a character, DSD is a great weapon with an even greater meaning for Dante's character
The guitar is still the craziest in terms of….it’s FREAKING GUITAR with lighting bolts and bats!
The weapons in DMC are actually quite simple compared to games lie Bayonetta or MGR but have so much more depth. In these games the weapons have like a billion moves in combos but they are so similar.
I do love this weapon. Not exactly for advanced play, but for a safety net when I'm stressed in tough groups of enemies. I need to step it up with those summoned swords.
Also, the fucking Luna Base and Drynion Desert music ❤️🔥
0:54 "Nevan enjoyers" damn bro offended 3 whole people
yess loved the vid on Lucifer, we eating good
Dude these videos are so good, I'd watch an entire series of this
When the game first came out, i remember discovering some of these things on my own, and i was absolutely blown away by the possibilities.
I still to this day am shocked by some of the things I see players pull off with this weapon and Sin DT.
I'm really glad someone took the time to really show this weapon off in an in depth fashion. So thank you, Chaser.
Looking forward to more content.
Good video. Just got around to watching it.
An addition, that you rightfully missed out on, as Meteor and I found it out a few months ago, is Interceptor knockback can be manually aimed, by delocking, and rotating dante in the desired direction.
As if this possibilities were limited, DSD is the gift that keeps on giving.
2:48 false
Dance macabre is exception to this
That aside great video well explained and thorough 👍
The DSD truly is the Soul of Dante. Embodies.All his Style, Skills. 🎉🎉🎉
Surpassing Sparda! ❤❤
Hot dog, I had no idea DSD was this good. I always just saw it as sparda+
Great video.
Some details of Swords Formations that you might have missed/glossed over:
- Reactor (like DT) only adds an extra dash to the forward dash; this is because the back and side dashes can't be followed by Mustang. The extra forward dashes can be fully redirected however.
- Escort not only decreases damage and stagger, it also reduces the amount of DT used by normal blocks; however it doesn't defend Dante against status effects (stun, burn, freeze, shock) or grabs.
- Interceptor functions like a melee attack when it comes to shields; meaning enemies like Hell Judecca or Lusacchia will get hit by them regardless of their shield. (Nero's Summoned Swords share this property.) Interceptor also attacks any non-continuous ranged attacks, regardless of whether they can be targeted or even destroyed; meaning it will automatically remove King Cerberus' plasma balls, Chaos and Green Empusa's poison spits, and even try to hit Goliath's fire balls.
- Although Chaser does add some damage and it has a whole range of small and big effect changes on melee attacks (from allowing Cavaliere's ground combos to juggle to changing the properties of most combo finishers) one of its most important benefits is the style it adds to attacks. To give some examples, at SSS Million Stab will actually come out losing when it comes to style, whereas Chaser will let it come out winning; on the other hand Cerberus D, which is pretty much the best combo when it comes to pure style, will have its style gain pushed from B up to A when starting from E by the swords.
- The cost for a pop of Swords Formation is just 2 DT pips. Combined with the fact they light slightly longer than DT with a full gauge, and DT requires at least 3 pips on top of an extra 1/2 upon deactivation, it makes it optimal for them to be used on the regular, specially if you want to spend your DT on the SDT bar.
Edit: I forgot to mention that Swords Formation's timer is separate from DT, which means you can also go into DT to extend their time if you have enough gauge.
Damn. I had no clue interceptors could be used to negate the spit attacks. I only ever intentionally called them during the Vergil fight, Lusachia, and perfect Urizen. (Cerberus too, but there sky star fireworks will usually suffice)
That's really good to know
@@DestinySpider Yeah, it even works on things you'd never think of using it on, like Griffon's shots, the shots by Artemis' turrets or Malpha's spears.
DSD sword formation is the biggest reason why i play dmc5 more than 3 and 4 its just so fun
In a series with a lot of awesome weapons DSD just immediately topped my favorite weapons list once I started seeing what it could do.
I'm not even listening to what's going on, I'm just watching the gameplay and thinking "I wish I was good at DMC"
Can be just got to practice and ask for help with anything you struggle with
@@wezer0611 Nah I physically can't do all those things, I've tried but my 2 braincells won't work together
I have more luck in DmC DMC
@@blametheghost you can do it. You just trying to everything at once plus probably haven't been shown the right way to help understand the game.
@@wezer0611 I'm not redownloading dmc5, takes too long
Man, you're getting these out at a great pace! Love that you're doing more well thought out content! I was the same and once I finished the game I switched back to Rebellion because it was what I was used to, but damn, DSD is super deep and worth learning, I need to lab up. 🤔
Dude, I love your videos, they really makes me see more than I could as a Devil May Cry player, now, my combos weren't much stylish as others, but more because I didn't understand the weapons at the beggining, and I feel more prepared to try a lot of different things, thanks!
I love these kinds of videos !! Thanks for making them. DMC is awesome
Another great video! I've had my ups and downs with DSD. I really liked it when I first started learning it, then as I went back and played more 4 I wished the layout was more like the previous games. I still feel that way but learning to incorporate the sword formations and DSDesync feels so good.
Really enjoying the recent uploads. Keep it up!
I instantly fell in love with DSD the moment I started using it. Such a great weapon in Dante's arsenal.
Love your vids. Keep doing gods work
Thanks for this video. I suffer from arthritis and my APM is awful so the info in this video helped me to develop some work arounds on enjoying Dante’s gameplay without stressing my hands too much. Would love more DMC 5 tech videos like these.
as a nevan enjoyer im malding, yet im happy it was mentioned in this video as a rly versatile weapon
I haven't actually played any of the DMC series (yet) so I didn't realize Dante was holding a question mark on the thumbnail, I thought it was a giant Khopesh.😅
Oh man, same here! I thought it was a Khopesh as well! Fun to see that one such singular braincell transcends the boundaries of geography.
We need more khopeshes and axe-like weapons in character action games.
Zanza theme jumpscare lmaooo
Ayyyy a video on Rebellion. I was waiting for this.
This series is so well done
I have carpal tunnel just watch in it
but seriously you are a blessing for the dmc community
thanks for your works Chaser ! Quadruple SSS video haha
Your killing it lately. Thanks for another great video
Ay thanks man.
Though I am not a skilled player, I enjoyed this video a lot. Keep up the good work! 😊
That’s so clean bro 🔥🥲
Ayo
DSD is SOOO pretty. thanks for the video :)
Another banger
The Lucifer and the Dante are two of my favorite weapons.
My issue is that I like all of the gauntlet/greaves weapons, and can't pick between them.
could you do a video on the difference between Virgil's kits. i found him very underwhelming in 5 but i feel like your breakdown would be more substantial
I've been practicing this game because I wanted to get better at dmc5, and I've been taking my time to not get frustrated or burnt out. Im bout to go crazy tonight.
From the title alone I knew it was gonna be DsD lol!
This is my new favorite devil arm for dante, especially with my recent playthough, I enjoy using summons swords as effective damage, especially with Round trips, the weapon has the moveset from the swordmaster makes it fun, I also do like the ability to use the swords without entering DT, although you lose some DT charge, I didn't like the other swords to immediately grounded me and switching the style to do a air combo, but DSD does that and I enjoy it, I do hope to see the Nevan vid, since it's one of those weapons I want to use and get good
Finally someone's gonna talk about reboot huh? Very excited, I do enjoy that game's combos
The vid is absolutely 🔥 keep up the great work man now people know that DSD is not just another copy of rebellion like how we discussed in ur streams when is the next one btw u haven't streamed in a while
Very nice video even tho I don't play Dante seriously I will make use of this knowledge
you couldnt trick me with nevan, it's my favourite weapon
This is why Devil Sword Dante is one of, if not my favourite weapon in Devil May Cry history
As a Nevan fan, i really want to see an in depth video about it, because even i don't know how to fully use this weapon lol
As someone who doesn’t know how to jump cancel, this is very useful information
Hey Chaser, I dunno if you take video suggestions, but I'd love a dedicated video on two different subjects.
The first is Nero's Exceed in DMC4 and DMC5, and how casual players, speedrunners, style players, etc all approach it.
The second is a bit more complex... but you mentioned in your DMC5 gameplay retrospective you wished Nero had the ability to switch Breakers. This is something I have seen debated a lot in the community. I respect your answer that you wish it so, but I agree with Itsuno that it would have made him feel like Dante given part of the point of Nero was to give newer players a more accessible character. I was wondering if you could elaborate on your point a bit, cause I know many in the DMC community are actually opposed to Breaker switching.
eyyyy tekken tag 2 customization background music!!!
Nailed it. That is all.
I think the balrog's summoned attacks could've functioned similarly to lucifer, that'd be awesome
Giving Dante his own summoned swords is such a game changer. I wonder if DMC 6 will do the same for Nero.
Nero has summoned swords it still needs time to get polished
That "your sunset" tekken song though😩😩
I was expecting Pandora actually 🤣 I'm loving these weapon breakdown vids
I always found Pandora really underwhelming tbh. It has one good move (the gatling gun in the air), and one cool move (the throwing blade thing), but the floating missile platform feels bad to use and getting it on accident is genuinely painful. Idk.
Pandora is definitely the one weapon I'd like to see return and be expanded upon most of all. Because the concept of a transforming suitcase with a ridiculous number of forms is super exciting. But the way it exists in 4 currently it's just kinda meh
@@DestinySpider Imagine if there was a DMC spin-off where your main character is one of the older weapons instead of a person, and you "equip" different Demon Hunters.
Would be cool to see Agni and Rudra return in such a way, and open up a great number of possibilities for specific weapons that different characters could have access to.
@@jurtheorc8117 That sounds stupid as hell, but also pretty funny. Could be interesting in a way, who knows?
U da goat
Oh shit im going thru that anatomy book rn
I really do wish DSD's summoned swords could be used with any weapon (not using DT) with a 5th Style akin to Darkslayer in DMC4 giving you Yamato.
I wonder if a certain someone ever made a mod for that? 🤔
DSD really feels like 2 weapons put in 1 with the summon swords being kinda like lucifer , and well the other weapon rebelion obviously
Good weapon breakdown as always i cant wait for the reboot vid i am really thinking off buying the game so i am curious too see how it plays
DSD
@@wezer0611 My bad always mix it up
No worries
Quadruple round trip go brrrrrr
Also I love the mod you use for Dante's coat. Much better than the base game.
Babe wake up ChaserTech uploaded a 16 min vid 😤
HEY , It’s yo Girl, back from the dead..
The fact you respected Nevin’s mid ness has sold me on a Subscribe.
The Bataur is only useful GENUINLY for Heaven and Hell move and some niche pin stalling in DMD mode.
I respect how actually well poise’d and perspective your videos are 🙌
I remember the lightning balls making for a really useful shield when fighting these annoyingass Enigmas. And they're useful against Bloodgoyles too cuz projectile attack.
But yeah, Nevan is definitely more out there on a visual basis than it actually is interesting gameplay wise.
Maybe my mind will change tho eventually when I can play modded DMC3 and actually take advantage of styleswitching and a full loadout.
@@DestinySpider I definatly hope you enjoy the modded version! Cheers to a new experience of old times!
it’s a useful weapon, it’s in NO means Bad it’s the fact it’s a middling weapon like Lucifer but lacking it’s utility In the same range, I’m speaking as if it’s a surplus to Artemis’ basically Dimension warping positional abilities or lucífer’s Pin/zoning stylization.
Nevan is the easier to use and get results with weapon is all I really meant by Mid.
It’s a great weapon still
How can you use Cavaliere R in Bloody Palace?
Earnestly my favorite weapon in any game.
15:03
This only applies for normal and DT Dante's swords, but for SinDT swords they can still remain in one attack:
The second attack of SinDT combo string will come out even if you change forms, with is weird because it only happens with this attack and Ombra, no other attacks have this property
video showing the tech: ruclips.net/video/c614JPbe_oo/видео.html
other interresting thing you can do is cancel in the right time the ``Long Barrel Air`` attack with SinDT and manipulate the knockback, but is a frame perfect thing and is kinda useless when you have Faust and DSD, but can look cool in a combo
video showing this tech: ruclips.net/video/tGOegDfnEOQ/видео.html
Just wanted to share some of my findings and contribute for the discussion
Great video Chaser, keep the good work
Hey Chaser, Good to see you uploading constantly again man! Much love for you!
Also, do you switch controllers for DMC5 and DMC4?
Im used to the Dual Sense and Dual Shock 4, but Ive heard most people saying Xbox Controller is better for DMC. Idk if thats a myth or real. Please let me know, thanks!
I stick with Dual Sense for both DMC4 and 5.
I'm gonna need someone to explain the Nevan thing because I always thought it was woefully underwhelming, but I always wanted to love it.
Nevan as a weapon is honestly really solid. The problem is that, for a newcomer, it's gonna be hard to do air juggles with it.
tbh i feel like the most useful thing to me in this video is the shot at 1:37 because damn i need to get better at art
Those books are honestly really solid. I've been using them for awhile now.
I like how their movelist reflects their personality as well. Vergil took a lot of time being the big brother to master summon swords, and they are precise, focused.
Dante now awakened his devil arm and now his swords are reckless and spin like he does with wanton abandon.
Dante is now Better than Vergil 😊
that's debateable. Both twins are from the same placenta and have potential in different aspects of life. I like Dante more than anything but I respect Vergil's power. So should you.@@user-gr1gb7os2t
One of the biggest barriers to entry to adnvanced dmc play for me is DT usage. Every advanced guide has some combos that require DT usage weather it’s Nero’s or Dante’s summoned swords or showdown or maximum bet, etc. but I always find myself having a hard time plugging DT into my play because I’m afraid of wasting it, I feel choice paralysis in how to incorporate into my play. I don’t know how break out of that shell
The handyman
I think the variety of DMC weapons is amazing with what they can do, but I think including some kind of tutorials could go a super long way. The issue with the crazier weapons like Lucifer or DSD is that most players from causal to intermediate, aren't too sure how to fully optimize the weapons unless they go on RUclips and watch guides for it. I love weapons having so much depth, but when they aren't taught to the player in a good manner, they become trash for the regular player and a super good tool for good players. It creates a huge disconnect.
I think this applies to Lucifer a lot more than for DSD.
Because Lucifer's intended use in combat I still don't think I really ever figured out. Pin-spam can be really strong, but it doesn't feel particularly... It doesn't really give me the impression that I'm supposed to be sitting there going "Hell yeah, I'm so good".
The things Lucifer is good for combo purpose wise (primarily splash JC and Ecstasy) are difficult to implement and take a longass time to master.
Meanwhile DSD at a basic level is just a Rebellion which controls more like Red Queen (something which a ton of people who don't like Rave being on swordmaster (or just never knew how to air combo with Dante) asked for), and if you don't care about the conjured swords' specific properties you can just mash them out for more damage without thinking about it too much.
The way it buffs DT, as said in the video, is by covering the weaknesses of a lot of moves, like the swords spiraling around you to protect you during Dante's heat up dance. Or the vacuum into Real Impact. So that way you gain a ton of benefit from them automatically.
And also Round Trips is there as a great way to just deal a ton of extra damage, if you don't really wanna bother learning how to mess around with the other formations in an interesting way.
So there's a ton of easily accessible practical use you get out of DSD that's just not there with Lucifer
Can you make a nevan video please thanks for all of your hard work
Edit oh wow the nevan tease😂😂😂
For smooth brain people out there like me the hundred swords are the same as gun for happy chaos in guilty gear strive you can do ranged and just shoot after attacking to make a combo out of non connecting attacks
This background footage is you? Very impressive combos
Bravo 🔥🔥🔥🫡🫡🫡
Can we get chaser tech drawing showcase tho 👀👀
lool maybe someday.
you are zoner player ?!?!
im so tight
Hey Chaser, would you ever make a video on Dante/Nero BNBs with increasing difficulty? I find myself creatively braindead when coming up with a "combo" so I'm curious as to what "strings" do people normally do that I can incorporate into my gameplay.
I could do RUclips shorts about it sometime. I don't really see myself making a long video dedicated to DMC combos.
Dunno how dmc players do it man. I'm new to the franchise and I'm trying soooooo hard not to be a stinger spammer and do cool combos but my god does Dante make it so hard😅 I feel like I'm trying to learn calculus all over again💀
Can u talk about faust hat and kalina Ann.
It's so underage.
What is the best part of DSD? You can summon conjured sword on escort mode to defense against Vergil’s cheeky scripted hit at the end of M19.
I wish DSD had more visual resemblance to Rebellion tho
Since I learn what DSD can do in Sword Master style I know it's too much for me to control it and my finger would never fast enough to make it useful and it's kinda sad that I can't think fast enough to be good Dante player
Bruh why's Dante get better style control on his pet swords than V does on his OWN DEDICATED PETS?
Imagine if V had something like this or Lucifer?
I’m more of a Sparda guy
More reason to proof that Dante is the most complicated yet the most stylish character in the whole gaming history
This is why they didn't give Dante these flying swords in DMC 3 or DMC 4, instead of using them effectively like Vergil he'll used it to f around with his enemies
Rebellion and sparda DON'T have drive in 5? Must be some sort of Mandela effect or something...
So just a rant about lucifer....Lucifer had some cool qualities.... But it's damage.. In my opinion .. never meets up to the investment required there are better more fun more engaging weapons than do consistently more damage but most importantly ... It doesn't feel good
Pretty sure the most versatile is Pandora in DMC 4
