I can literally feel you trying not to royal guard any of this.
The urge was real
Not royal guarding him just feels weird
I literally never touched Royal Guard until fighting Vergil and that took me awhile to just go "fuck it, I'mma just parry and counter."
@@Junkyardproduxtions same
@@Junkyardproduxtions I used when I was fighting that dude that gives you the motorcycle
The pain of not using Royal Guard for any of Vergil's attacks just for a video, give this man a medal.
Imagine tried beating him without guns and without royal guard I used super Dante and it didn’t make it any easier I got my cheeks RIPPED OPEN BY VERGIL
I love the fact that Royal Guard has become the Devil May Cry equivalent of the "I'm not gonna sugarcoat it' meme lmao
"Foolishness is rushing in blindly all you can do" he says as dante beats him restlessnessly
Not gonna lie, my first time fighting Virgil in 5 I got my teeth kicked in about 10 times until I started actually thinking about what he meant with that phrase, it actually helped me lol
Its wholesome seeing SSSmoke trying to hold back from just deleting Vergil in nanosecond

Every tutorial out there is either "RG him" or "get lucky with the hat"
But not everyone is going to want to try those. This video was very refreshing.
@@darthkahn45 yeah, its first time I saw someone said to use balarog jump instead of GS in air with ebony and Ivony.
Virgin: Learn all this moves just to counter one boss.

But who uses red hot night to instakill him

Not only does he flex, he also guide. Our prophet, SSSmoke
No like cuz its at 69
He the Messiah
Motivating and based
Vergil is a moderately difficult boss to beat, but if you remember the fundamentals of i-frames you can beat him easily. The hard part is trying to beat him stylishly, because he can punish you hard for being careless or overconfident.
idk but V's familiars are way more difficult to style on than Vergil lol (unless Royal Guard isn't included in the mix)
Playing stylishly doesnt matter when it's the final boss lmao. You should already be op at this point. Red orbs are useless.
@@TV-MA.x_x. you missing the entire point of the DMC franchise
@@TV-MA.x_x. The entire point of DMC... is not to just overcome the enemies you're facing, but to style on them in the most dramatic, over-the-top, and theatrical ways possible, and you're just saying 'nah'? Foolishness.
I feel so proud for knowing all these and being able to parry Vergil in DT 😂
I suppose that the most efficient trick for beginners is to [royal guard] vergil's summoned swords. It is easy to do and gives you a good amount of DT energy. Also thx for the guide, balrog + jump is very simple and yet amazingly efficient(and i totaly forgot about it...)
I didn't want to include RG because a lot of players are intimidated by it
It was the first thing I used in this fight but I was a bit seasoned from dmc4
@@SSSmokeStyle They're called "noobs".
@@SSSmokeStyle *IT'S TOO POWERFUL*
Been playing this franchise since the very first one, and I still lack the patience for/ cannot work Royal Guard. And the risk-to-reward factor of it skews WAY too heavily to risk for me to be motivated to try and figure it out.
So speaking for anybody who just can't stand or work that style, damn fine video.
Another beginner tip I'd add:
If Vergil is guarding in the last phase and you don't have enough DT gauge for a DT Stinger, switch to Balrog (Kick Mode). A few hits (exact number depends on how many times you already hit the guard) should break Vergil's guard, giving you another combo opportunity.
Nice to know not everyone in the DMC community is an elitist.
Flintwheel is legitimately one of Dante's best moves in the whole game. It has I-frames, is super easy to parry with, and is a launcher while in DT+Swordmaster.

Beginner friendly tips for beating Cavaliere Angelo
Just parry his ass with your weapons and beat the living shit outta him when he's on "charging mode".
You can also Royal Guard the lightning discharge from the charge mode, it's a quick 3-hits and you can release on the 3rd one for a Stylish ending, even tho I don't see it being used that much.
Easiest way to kill him is this:
Use King Cerberus revolver to easily parry his swings, once he's stuned and tries to charge his sword charge Red Hot Night to level 3, I think that one shots him in any dificulty
@@Pini8782 Tbh there are much more ways than just spamming revolver for easy parries, some are:
Flintwheel(Kick Mode Balrog)
Any Combo from Cavaliere
Dance Macabre dash hit(Any Sword with Swordmaster Lv3)
Switch Kick/Punch(Balrog)
Updraft(Balrog Kick)
Ice Age(Cerberus)
DT Full Throttle(Cavaliere)
Poleplay(Cerberus Swordmaster)
Revolution/Turbulence(Cerberus SM)
You get the gist, there's more but you've got more than enough selection to have fun while fighting the boss, I personally dislike the usage of RHN with Faust because it oneshots almost anything and makes the game too easy tbh.
@@Bonemannes Yeah I said it was the easiest, not the must fun, what I like the most to do against him is dodge with balrog fists and dodge with i-frames from the beggining of cavaliere attacks, I also remember once I parried him with Real impact while in DT, hypiest shit ever. Cavaliere Angelo it's a really fun battle, second best boss after Vergil.
Srry for my english tho
thanks for looking out for us noobs, the balrog jump destroying swords one was awesome.
To anyone who doesn't know, you can also break through Vergil's guard with balrog's kick mode.
Another tip. If have dual Kalina Ann (first one can be found in mission where Cavaliere Angelo boss fight is, second is given in mission 18) and if you at decent range from Vergil you can break him out of his fight attack. Enable gunslinger style while he charge in the middle of the arena, dual Kalina Ann, lock on + forward + hold style will charge a turbo lazer that will cancel his flight. It is a risky move due to the recovery that can be cancelled only by going in SDT. Good luck.
There's something special about Vergil that makes it satisfying to royal Guard. No other enemy in the series gives a feeling close to this.
I honestly think the best way to play him initially is to persevere using royal guard. You get to learn his moveset off by heart, get great style and don't have to learn Dante's tricky combos.
Also, learning his attack patterns can also help when fighting him as Nero in the next mission. Obviously it might take a while to learn all of it, but I think it's worth it
Royal guard is indeed extremely useful against him. This is intended to people intimidated by it though
In order to learn Vergil's moveset better when I was a beginner I simply played the Vergil mod and watched Vergil videos from older games. Learning the combos myself helped me expect the combos when fighting him
Your tips are helpful. I'm glad I discovered round trip through you it's a great way to keep dishing out damage while being evasive
Thanks for the tips! I’ll be sure to use these really soon!
Wow, this is very helpful. Thanks for making this Smoke!
Awesome tips!
Can't wait for your guide on how to fight RG Dante using Vergil in DMC 5 SE!
Bruh, i didn't know that flintwheel can pary his rapid slash.
Finally, A decent guide
You single-handedly MOTIVATED me to really play this game to its fullest. I even bought the HD collection and DMC4 for PS4 .
I could never get how to JC. Now I use it often, and this transformed into a whole new game. Thank you. Its been a bash.
Please keep doing these tutorial videos. I'm on my third play through and i didn't even know about some of these. Also, it would be really cool if you added royal guard tips for let's say vergil, like what you can block and stuff
4:17 I would like to add that if you find yourself out of air options (including Air Trick), you can still try to Ground Trick. Have gotten out of this kind of situation with that before. Been enjoying your videos a lot lately! Cheers!
Thank you dude! I am new to dmc 5, and i reached vergil boss i thought i couldnt do it but when i saw this video, i actually defeated him! Im so glad you made this video, thank you again!
Great beginner tips! I really like how you stuck to just two styles and didn't show exotic counters to flight mod or JCE. This is a really great video to show to friends who are just getting into the franchise, whereas many other "easy tips" videos use stuff that can still vex newer players. I'm an old hat, and even I learned something! Thanks for spiral stinger as a counter to doppel. I had been using DT shotgun/rocket shots, but it feels a bit risky and inconsistent.
Been looking forward to this one. Some great tips in here.
I have a habbit of desperately trying to get him out of DT because in 3 he would just stay in it and get all his health back if you let him. But I don't think he is quite as cruel in 5.
I just beat him in dmc3 last night, he was so much more brutal than dmc5 vergil, but I found the dmc5 version to be more fun and less frustrating
Both were pretty easy but dmc3 vergil is much harder then this one to me though its not as fun
I would actually love a King Cerberus guide. I always die at least once, on every difficulty...
This is mad-helpful, thank you
Probably the best guide Video of DMC 5 on youtube
Really good video, thanks a bunch
I can feel this man trying to hold back his urge to do a full combo and style on us.
awesome video! i'd also like to mention that the double kalina ann big ray blast (forward + style on gunslinger), if done in front of vergil when he takes off for his flight, will knock him out of his flight and disable his dt.
Ok that’s gonna help a lot preciate it.
Aaahhhhh yes nice refreshing video....now that Alan went away ur the only other i have watched since day 1....thanks
This I feel like I can actually do, save for the lightning fast style and weapon switching. Good guide!
this is what i am grateful for , thank you
The first 50 seconds make me feel like I'm back in DMC3.
I started to play this game 7 months ago and for the first 3 month i was just a casual player, but after seeing Sssmoke i wanted to get better and now because if him I finished the game on DMD without using gold orbs and finished BP with dante too
I just wanted to say thank you for making me appreciate this game and getting better at it
4:21
You could see his urge wanting to parry it
Thanks a lot man! I'm not exactly the best at Devil May Cry and this helped a lot. Gonna need a lot more gold orbs tho to cheese it regardless lmao
thanks for this I was beginning to think RG was the only way to beat him.
Thanks for guidance
An interesting tip I learned a while ago. Dance Macabre's start up animation has a massive ass parry window, and when Vergil starts dropping Summoned Swords from the sky, it just basically opens him up for alot of damage and stun. Just be careful on which sword you have equipped at the time when performing DM though, because that could get you in trouble if you mix it up...
Not seeing royal guard parries on vergil fight is like not seeing friends at my birthday party.... wait
Another good one that i found very useful in the beginning, to get some damage safely in particular when he's in DT form, is to send the summoned swords on him by holding down B/Circle with swordmaster and releasing after a bit to have the four summoned swords fly to him and damage him, it takes care of any swords he summons around him as well and allows you to just keep dodging in the meantime, it's completely free. Likewise, the summoned swords are great to get rid of his summoned swords around YOU, although you can't do that when you have your own summoned swords already on him... In any case, it's a great tool in this fight in my opinion.
Also, although it doesn't help to beat him, I think this fight is great to practice Royal Guard overall, from easy moves like when he shoots swords or dive from the air, to the harder ones like the 4 judgment cuts in a row, there's a lot of opportunities to get used to the Royal Guard mechanic in this fight.
I never thought of using balrog for the swords. I'm gonna try that.
3:34 did they just reference DmC? If so, that’s a great slap in the face Itsuno. With that and The Dr.Faust hat.
proud of you.
Omg you are so awesome for this.. I've been a fan of dmc for years but my combos/strategies are straight garbage 😅
I remember using these strats when I was just getting to know this fight
I already made another comment but a great combo I found for damaging him when he's open: stinger, DSD combo B into Cerbrus forward spin, then one of a few things for the sake of style: swordmaster style then cerberus flame staff combo A or Cavalier combo A. Both finishers will knock him back mid combo, but you can dodge/jump cancel and if not the animation will recover more than fast enough to react to whatever comes next
anything that gets him in the air is a great combo starter. DSD sword master spin or Ceberus ice spikes are great
Dance macabre(first hit) is kinda safer to parry Vergil's rapid slash and his eary summon swords shooting. It has fastest and surprinsingly big parry window in front of Dante. Another great choice for parrying beside Revolver and Ice age.
I wonder how much suffering would be inflicted if Vergil could use Royal Guard
Thx for not using royal gaurd for the ones who need help, i know that must have tooken a lot of constraint
Man really appreciate the guide I’m fairly new to the series. How long did it take you to get good at devil may cry games?
I really got good at 5. It's hard to tell cause it's a very gradual process
@@SSSmokeStyle well I’m practicing and its not easy so props to you. And thanks for the vids they are enjoyable
Balrog kick regular combo (non ignited too) can easily break vergil's guard, so that's very useful if you dont have DT for DT stinger
I hit royal release with his DT Air attack and it felt so good lol
you can evade judgement nut using balrog pressing Y if you are too far of the safe zone. Just time it when Vergil is close to do it
THERE IS HOPE FOR US
I can feel him physically resisting
Dt coyote is really good for stunning SDT Vergil and killing Steve (doppel)
Also when he uses air raid you can force him out of it by perfect releasing or using mega cascade (double kalinna GS forward)
(Cries in Royal Guard)
Thanks mate, Can we get a M18 tips next?
This is the hardest one mission to consistently get S rank in my opinion
either do it cheap and cheese with faust hat or go full stylish and no damage
@@shizuruvita1757
I want to do it stylishly, I already S ranked it but I can't land a S Rank everytime I do it
@@thefishingfish4210 i played it ytd again, took some damage and used some faust hat along but still S at the end
keep every fight A rank like about 4k+ style points and no continue 1.2 bonus then it became S
hope it helps
Can you do ceberus guide next,that dog has gave me troubles getting through dmd.
2:10 easy way to deal with judgment cut end is just jump and press button style when you have royal guard
Easier method than all stated above : Equip DSD and just use round summoned swords.
I was wondering about that one. I discovered it by accident in my playthroughs, but all the variants of it did seem like the easiest option for most of the fight.
the lack of royal guard is so funny
I aspire to become as good at this game as some of the combo masters I see
I want to embrace the style

Step 1 : Royal Guard
You can also break Vergil's guard with Balrog in Kick Mode without DT.
Dante be like: I've seen a lot, who may outrun bullets, but none to outrun good shot outta double barrels.
The first time I Royal release Vergil’s heavy sword rain, I felt like a god
First time on your channel, and your intro just signaled me to load up a fattie.
This is truly a beginner guide bc if I am fighting vergil in the air he be getting f up
i suck at RG and ironically, the one thing i properly can RG in vergil's set is judgement cut end
The clone is the reason why i was unmotivated. Now watching this, i can run away from as if that was the only best solution 😂😂😂
You can break his guard by simply switch to kick mode it will break with one combo on the ground
Beginner friendly tips for beating Fury in DMD
always breakdance raining swords.
ultimate slowmo is worth.
Kick mode balrog breaks his guard, dont use the motor cycle, use regular block if you cant royal, just avoid him during DT phases, he will always use multiple jc if at 75% or less
Honestly if they give Royal Guard a chance they'd have an easy time. Some attacks are free real estate. Like Judgement Cut which is probably his third easiest attack to RG. Wait for the obvious flash, jump and RG. Works every time. Royal release is so broken in this game, it makes Vergil a cake walk even on DMD.
Now one for dante
In my experience Killer Bee has always been a hard counter against Vergil's Judgment Cut spam. The same applies for Nero with Payline.
could you also do this type of video for Nero's fight please?
balrog also good for breaking his shield ( yamato) defense
I just did this fight yesterday got through by spamming stinger and royal guard :D
You are so friendly
Got it’s so hard not to hear Dante say “royal guard” in my while you dodge
Without the use of Royal Guard is very painful to defeat Vergil.
A surefire way of countering Vergil's "prepare to die" move: if you have the Dual Kalina Anns, you can press forward+style button while in gunslinger style to activate the laser beam, you dont even have to hit him with the laser. As long as youre in the firing animation, it knocks him back upon his impact regardless of where you aim.
Edit: also, when he summons his sword circle around you, the first two attacks of Devil Sword Dante combo destroys all of them, great for when you just want to jump over his "prepare to die" attack.
An extremely fun way to do it as Nero is to buster the attack, and the most disrespectful one is to dropkick him out of it
@@dudescrawny5859 you probably know this by now but...
The dropkick only works when you get an Overture bomb on him and it blows up outside the arena. And it's not limited to a drop kick, anything dealing damage will knock him out of the flight after the main condition happens
Best trick is to make vergil stall until you get a full power blood hot night
