Really good review, I to started with DMC3( wanted to play them in order by story) and I really find you good at explaining details (and also some funny opinions =D )
Also, yes, the Neo Angelo fight really froze me up at the twist. Vergil was my favorite character...
I do wonder what they will do in 5, my guess is on something relating Nero and Vergil (hints from 4 and all)

*After reading this review, Xane finally beat bloody palace*
Hurray!
There's another one of the same player that uses "When the Lights Are Down." I can probably attribute my whole liking of the band to him.Syntax Error said:
Not my introduction. That would be <url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3rfK_uAhaA>this one.
Trickster's probably my favorite, too (right in front of Quicksilver and Swordmaster). There's just something fun about dashing all over the place and running up and along the walls. If Dante's Air Trick teleport was near as good as Vergil's, it'd be absolutely perfect.Samurai Goomba said:
I also tend to be conservative with the weapons, myself; Rebellion and E&I, plus any other two (usually Spiral and either Cerberus or Beowulf, yes).
I've only played DMC3:SE on a PC, so I wasn't able to be as "artistic" with the moves as I wanted to using the pew pew gun, cuz if you're using a keyboard, you can't jump/dodge while charging it up and moving at the same time. Same goes with Nero's charge blast in DMC4.NeutralDrow said:
I used Trickster mostly as my defensive style. Swordmaster as my main offense, while Gunslinger doesn't get much use. I'm still trying to master Royal Guard, two games in.
And the second I saw "Soul Society" in The Black Halo's track list, I immediately thought that it would be used for a Bleach AMV.
When cainx mentioned that there was a PC version of DMC4, my eye happened to fall on my Logitech USB controller. Bought it a while ago because Melty Blood is terrible to play on a keyboard, but I think it'll get more use soon...<color=white>soon as I get an external hard drive that can run the game.Syntax Error said:
Pretty much the same, though I use Gunslinger at least semi-often. As in, whenever I feel tempted to make Spiral and Kalina Ann into even more awesome weapons, or if I want to use Artemis at all (pretty useless outside of the style). Also, Gunstinger is probably my favorite attack in the game.
Trickster is a default, since I love advanced movement options. Also, I just picked DMC3 back up, but I'm still used to 2...meaning I keep trying to dash, only to do Twosome Time or Prop Shredder by accident!
Swordmaster is great for looking awesome, and especially makes Nevan into a terrific weapon. Also, Danse Macabre and Ice Age look really cool.
Royal Guard...I level it up to 3, but I don't tend to use it except when I want to get fancy. I'm still working on timing, and Ultimate Shield isn't as useful as I'd hoped.
Quicksilver is fun to play around with, too. I tend to use Doppelganger either when I want to jut play around, or if I have a friend over.
That AMV was half the reason I picked up the series in the first place, so you could say it introduced me to both a band and an anime!
Heh, I didn't even mention that Quicksilver is my "other" style. Air Trick is good, but I prefer that other trick you can earlier with allows an air dash with huge amounts of I-frames. You can easily X->O->Killer Bee. Killer Bee cancels something like 60% of Vergil's (any form) attacks.NeutralDrow said:
I forgot about the Royal Cheese. It's done by jumping then immediately pressing the style button (like a quick sliding motion from jump to style buttons). You can perform an aerial parry 90% of the time with this method (note that this will cancel the jump animation). It abuses the invincibility frame when you initiate a jump to "dodge" the initial attack animation (like when you Quicksilver as an enemy is about to slash you).
Isn't Guard-canceling a dodge roll supposed to be safer? You can also do it <url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jS5hpo7HHEA&feature=PlayList&p=8335149A0D8952B0&index=5>un-upgraded.Syntax Error said:
Hey, I didn't know about that. How many invincibility frames does rolling have?NeutralDrow said:
I was hoping you knew, I don't actually know any frame numbers. I just know roll-parry and jump-parry work on similar principles, and thought I'd heard that one was more effective...but since I can't seem to find where I read it, I might be wrong. I do know it can be done at level 1, for sure.Syntax Error said:
Yeah, because jump parry requires level 2 RG. Haven't seen some wicked Dante combo vids for DMC4, though. He plays a little like Vergil there, in that you have access to all three weapons and four styles at once (the fourth style is Dark Slayer, where he uses some of Vergil's moves).NeutralDrow said:
Im going quicksilver all the way, nothing more satisfying than going Dio Brando style on demonic goons.
As for weapons, Rebellion and Cerburus hands down, one fast and one powerful.(Although the glove weapons are still fun in every game in that series)
Through sheer coincidence, I've actually gotten into the habit of screaming "ZA WARUDO!" whenever I use it, recently.XaneTheInsane said:
I can't believe no one's done a video of that, none that I can find at least. It fits so well...
I had considered doing a review much like this one a while back, though I also planned on including Devil May Cry 4 and my extreme preference of the original game above all the others.
This was very well-written and shorter than I had expected. Well done.

My memory of DMC is faded somewhat, I remember it being very enjoyable, and getting completely stuck on one of the bosses.
My memories of DMC2 were not pleasant. Big disappointment.
Happily the third one is also good
even if my lack of skillz means I can't even beat Normal mode (this is the Special Edition "pussy" normal mode, also).
I enjoy reading your reviews. Good stuff.

Well i'm not going to read the whole post or the comments posted here but i'm going to state that number 2 is the best for action and showing how dark its suppose to be. But then number 3 would also count due to the fact that its dark but also humorous and i like funny, but like the rest of the games, Dick in pants hard! and though i love the series i think at four the should kill the series i do not want a Mario or Sonic take over Happening to such a good game. We already have Game cows that are getting milked Tit in desert dry!!!
