Chasing Vergil isn't really hard. What's insane about this video is the amount of control Sakaki has over Vergil in this video, and the precise, creative, aesthetic way he manipulates Vergil and uses him to make the fight more spectacular. Vergil is just dancing in his palm the entire time, almost every single one of his attacks were accurately predicted before they even happen, such as making Vergil taunts back because Sakaki taunted before he even started using doppelganger, so he is stuck in taunt back animation while Sakaki takes out the clone.
The finale of Sakaki countering Vergil's Judgement Cut End using Dante's Judgement, with the music build up and the arena turning purple is the most epic thing I've ever seen in a DMC fight.
@@freemank8207 pretty much all d "experts" are juz doing plainly royalguard and wait for openings(dont get me wrong, it really does takes time to master it), its gotten very mainstream while sakaki created his own combo and use the risky sorta counter as well as playing super aggressively, all that while staying stylish AF
xXSoulDitzXx i play pretty aggressive too now but at first I did what you’re talking about, rg and wait for an opening, I did that when I was learning certain enemies attack pattern so there’s nothing wrong with doing that.
@@alexzz6230 its on reddit, juz search the title Farzad K mentioned, and yeah its nothing wrong, everyone got their own stylish combos, and its fun watching everyone own specific combos
@@alexzz6230 There's nothing wrong with that, but it's much more easier and practical than what Sakaki is doing, which requires much better understanding and judgement. Royalguarding is no big deal, even more so in DMC5, since you're not screwed for messing up unlike 3/4. 夜耀空明's Royal blocking against DMC3 Vergil was far more impressive.
So much to love and to learn here! - Badass intro - All DMC3 themes, one for each phase - Slowmo backslide - Royal Releasing him out of airplane mode before he even charges at you - Dodging JCE with shotgun rolls into Real Impact - Royal revenge kills the doppleganger - Finishing with JCE vs Judgement Perfect fight, probably the best I've seen against Vergil. Even better than Brea's, and god do I love her fight!
2:36 Vergil : lol you're trying to just guard my Judgement End again like other? Dante : *Sliding his way through to Vergil* Vergil : What Form of power is this? btw I love the way he only uses DT when Vergil start using one , it make the battle look much more dramatic.
While interesting idea, the use of it to dodge isn't that special. What is special is that he predicted the time he would use it and spaced himself naturally, so that he ends just behind Vergil when it is finished.
@@swiggityswo9558 His DT doesn't end if he doesn't perform a certain set of combo. I tried parrying him constantly to disrupt him from completing the combo and his DT lasted more than 10 mins and kept going.
Does Gun Stinger have s? I'm confused at how he dodged that attack. Going frame by frame, he briefly switches to swordmaster in the middle of the slide..
Actually there is music phases for ''the duel'' (default theme for Vergil fight) when he goes DT and summons his clone but it would be cool to have trasitions between the classics
3:00 Making a separate post because predicting Vergil's Doppelganger and taunting in advance so that Vergil taunts back, thus making him immobile while Sakaki kills the doppelganger with Royal Revenge is *ABSOLUTELY GENIUS.*
Not sure if this applies to Vergil but moving him offscreen significantly reduces aggro AI in DMC5. Enemies cannot attack you from offscreen (with some slight exceptions like Lusachia and Baphomet if they’ve charged up)
*This is half an analysis:* I can say without a doubt that this is the most technical, creative, difficult, and flawless Vergil fight in DMC5. The sheer insight of enemy behaviour, creativity to come up unthinkable ways to deal with them, precision to execute the planned scenarios, judgement to act it out in midst of the battle, reaction for these interactions to be possible, and the consistency too pull them without fail throughout the fight, is simply unbelievable. All the blocks are perfect and that's only the least impressive aspect of this fight. For me, this is truly the first Vergil fight where Vergil is fought not like a boss where you find an opening to attack and combo, but like an equal where you're actively taking it head on and dance with like a cutscene (AYU also deserves a mention for his SoS Cavalier Angelo before Sakaki though). Simply the work of a God. I can't believe this only took about a week.

3:01 amazing tactics : he taunts right before Vergil summons his clone, so Vergil will taunt back, and he have to deal only with the clone itself, not both at the same time.
That was amazingly stylish and cinematic. From countering Vergil's summoned swords with your Sword Formations, going DT along with him, sick combos, to even using Dante's ultimate move Judgement while Vergil uses his ultimate Judgement Cut End... Along with the music phases from DMC3 and that badass intro. Well done, sir. Kudos to you. Itsuno would have been proud.
THIS IS SOME CINEMATIC LEVEL OF GAMEPLAY. But most of all.... Those bgm, those things.... Where it all began... And yet, until now.. Its still perfection.
Things I, as a decent-ish Dante player and newcomer to the series, audibly gasped at: 1. That opening clash, and did not know you could dodge to the side in the air. 2. The Gunslinger summon swords cancelling Vergil’s attacks, and that lovely voice line - is that specific to this counter, or is this something else? 3. I would never have thought to even dare Quadruple S some combos on Vergil. 4. The multi-slash Royal Guard blocking. This is just a personal bit of awesomeness for me, cause I can’t figure out the timing to save my life (in some instances, literally). 5. Air-Tricking to get a height advantage on Vergil’s downslash. 6. Royal Releasing Vergil in mid-air before he can even start flying. 7. This is honestly the biggest one - Coyote-A’s slide in to avoid the Judgement Cut End. AGH, I am in AWE of this man! I assumed the slides had I-Frames attached to them, but to see it proven SO hard and SO stylishly - truly, a work of art! 8. The Sin Devil Trigger Judgement as a finishing move. I’ve seen it used before, but with the music, and that samurai showdown-esque “Who’s gonna get cut first?” way? Brilliant. As someone else said long before me, this feels much more like an actual canonical fight between the two brothers, a dance if you will. You’re not just styling on Vergil in an endless combo, but you’re keeping pace and allowing him to move, rather than just dominating the fight outright. You go on both the offensive and the defensive, and it is exhilarating to watch. Thank you for this, friend. You made my day.
These things are only the tip of the iceberg, and not at all the hardest/most creative parts of the video. What you only see is just the surface of DMC, the things you mentioned are actually only the basics of high level play. I recommend that you give my comment in the video a read to understand some of it. Take just release, for example, Sakaki in DMC4 even did buffered reverse release twice in row, both after doing a stinger, which meant he calculated the release timing like 1 second prior. That's much, much harder than timing just relase/just guard. Most veteran players can do just guard/just release easily (including myself which I don't even consider skilled). I also recommend giving this thread a read which has player rankings and deep breakdown for some of DMC4/5 combos. Though the post is rather oudated, it holds some ground. In a DMC5 combo, for example, Sakaki made round trip (sword throwing move) miss on purpose so when it flies back like a boomerang, it hits the enemy in the most crucial timing. Indepth combo analysis: www.reddit.com/r/DevilMayCry/comments/b6fy8j Player info compilation post: www.reddit.com/r/DevilMayCry/comments/a7u7z5/best_dmc_player/ec5v2eq/
You and donguri are the two reasons I learn DMC5 combos everyday. Two distinct playstyles, both equally effective. One with a brute force approach, the other focuses on stylish takedowns. Props to you, man
3:41 Can I just say: Holy Fuck Judgement Cut End vs Judgement This was the most badass thing I've seen for the month. Never have I ever seen a Vergil Battle this well made and so stylish. Even from Donguri. Kudos on mixing up the theme songs and not just leaving it as Vergil Battle 2. You are in my eyes *The Best* Dante Player there is for DMC5.
Stuff like this (e.g. His Credo fight and insane combo MADs) are the reason why even some of the best players consider Sakaki the best player in 4. It's just that most things he did in 4 (especially the micro-movements) were too difficult to perceive for average players and thus didn't look impressive to them. Even in 5, there are plenty of details that you lilely missed as well.
I always thought Sakaki was better than Donguri with Vergil in 4SE but I always liked Donguri’s Dante more. This video changed my mind. They are both Sons of Sparda though.
@@Daboy804 Sakaki's best character was always Dante, and in terms of combo and Credo boss fight, Sakaki's videos were more technical, higher skilled and took more effort (Donguri is usually just saved clips from streaming). Donguri makes a better streamer, but his productions were generally nowhere as hard as Sakaki and many other combo makers in the scene. Donguri is extremely attractive to casual people in DMC4 because of his abundant use of Guardflying (the move where you see Donguri zipping around), which is while a mid-high level tech that does require some skill, something most high level players can do without effort. In fact, I'm a very unskilled player, and even I can guardfly: twitter.com/GradationAir/status/1115541236713054208 Most top level players just don't bother with it as much, or use it for precise movement (that you will probably not notice at all due to how seamless they make them), not just to zip around looking cool. Sakaki did do the whole zipping thing in some of his videos in 2013 (such as Combo MAD II), when he was relatively green. czcams.com/video/vvndA87ZLK8/video.html
@@Daboy804 It's because of Sakaki's deep understanding of the game as well as usage of many difficult techs for all three characters, that he was one of the *three* most popular picks for the best DMC4 player among top level players, another one is *Taka,* who is very unknown to casual players unfamiliar with the scene (he got barely 100 subs), but is arguably the most revolutionary figure in DMC4 scene due to the way his combo involve positioning to insane levels that abuses hitbox collisions, that caused a huge leap in the combo meta, and even Sakaki looks up to him. Another popular player that a number of vets consider best is *ArrancarDante/nino,* who also is very unknown outside the scene.
This was literally jaw dropping. So many things I didn’t even know were possible and that opening clash was pure motivation. You are a true son of Sparda.
@@yubinary5385 The Chinese scene is insanely high leveled too. 2white probably holds the best Cavalier Angelo fight to this day, and even he is a big Sakaki fan. www.bilibili.com/video/av53757728/
I just want to let you know that it's been 3 yerars and nobody has ever done this fight better than you ever have. The purple ending is yours and yours alone
I can not describe how proud I am of this! The flawless execution and the amount of work I'm sure went into this is extraordinary, the editing is outstanding and your attention to every god damn detail is so exceptional! You, with this video alone, take the throne as one of (if not THE) greatest Devil May Cry expert in history. Thank you for existing!
This is one Vergil Replay I'll always come back to. 00:57 flows so beautifully, the music sinks nicely, and I'm a sucker for good royal guard play. I love it.
This is probably the most impressive and beautiful looking DMC 5 Vergil fight clip I've ever seen. In my opinion, the most of thought, creativity, art sense, and effort put into these videos I've encountered yet. You just get a like, a share, a favorite up, and a potential subscriber.
This is still to this day the best representation of the final fight between these two. Sakaki will always hold a spot as one of the best DMC players of all time.
Looking back this fight felt more like a freaking cutscene, seriously using Summon Sword vs Summon Swords, using DT the moment phase 2 kicks in only to drop out to show off royal guard to his flight and that ending. Just magnificent!
This is quite possibly the most well-choreographed and skilled Devil May Cry video on CZcams. Almost a year after uploading it, I still can't stop watching it.
Hideaki Itsuno and the whole team behind of Devil May Cry 5 are a true legends! Not only they did surpassed my expectations, but also made me to want Devil May Cry 6. I hope Itsuno will also bring back Onimusha franchise to life.
The most stylish way to fight this boss, the stylish combos, the music, especially when Vergil transforms into Devil Trigger and his 2nd theme plays. Couldn't ask for more.
I know how hyperbolic it sounds, but this might be the best video you’ve uploaded. From start to finish, it was amazing. So many things put a smile on my face.
I didn't realize that little smile from Vergil hides behind a whole other story and realization thx to the manga " visions of V" .. truly a masterpiece
Normal youtubers: *plays The Duel theme throughout the video* Me: Meh, used to it by now. Donguri: *plays DMC 3 vergil battle 2 theme throughout the video.* Me: Good times. Sakaki: *Plays all DMC 3 vergil battle themes and transitions it beautifully as Vergil is left with 50% and 25% of his health* Me: *Nostalgia Bomb*.
Now this is the real deal. Well done. No repetition. Most videos I've seen repeat the same combo over and over again or find a trick to kill Vergil the easy way. This was downright badass and straightforward. And I loved that about it. Well done.
Instantly subscribed holy hell! Not only did that look like it was scripted like any other cutscene jn the game but you did it all in the contexts of the actual gameplay! SSS Rank 100% deserved!
When the timing, ending and the blend of these music were ao perfect that you cant even hesitate that it really looked like a cutscene of a historical battle of Legends..
I don't know what exact word to describe this vid but this looked so "clean". The attacks are very calculated, not just overwhelmingly releasing barrage of attacks.
The amount of practice that it takes to get this good and this accurate is impressive. I understand a little about it in my stint into Nioh. Your gameplay is impressive af!
its honestly fucking crazy how this man did this, like I'm no dmc pro but I know very fucking well that to make a fight like this where it seems so fucking even, even though your not getting hit or anything really, to build this level of tensity is very hard to do. And this man did it all, expertly.
I don't use the phrase "perfect musical timing" lightly... When the DMC 3 music started, every fiber of my existence expected Vergil to say "you got that right" like the music would somehow magically change the cut-scene. I was genuinely surprised when he didn't say it.
It's the most dramatic M19 fight I have ever seen. The way you predict Vergil's move and the music for 3 stages of the fight is epic!!! It should be added to the cutscene.
So I came back on this video after watching this thousand time after I downloaded the video. This battle is the best battle on gaming history. This battle video is th most beautifull and the most technical gameplay video I have seen in my entire life. I’m so proud that someone is terribly good at this best 2019 game. I’m so grateful that u did this video. Must be many try. I did my first no dmg run with Nero against Vergil and I can say this is so hard to do what you want to do to make a beautiful gameplay. Thank you for this video it will be in my head for the rest of my life

Axel same. Jaw dropped when he stopped Vergil from flying. I saw him stopped when he charges but not the second he flies up.
I didn't even know gun stinger roll had I-frames. Maybe I should use Coyote A more often.
@@HanMasho same here
I like how you can find so much shit in this game I never knew sword formation would block the summon swords. 😂😂🤣🤣
Have u seen his other video where he make JC useless by dashing using Cavaliere? This guy, idek if hes a human or not
2:27
Vergil: Prepare to... *ughhhhh*
Just when you think you're getting good at Mission 19 and then this comes out. Jackpot!
Real
Lol i was so proud of myself when i got a S rank on DMD mode but then I watch this and instantly felt like trash lol
The ending was the most anime thing in the world XD
MC vs MA on like the final episode of season 20 or something
That opening perfectly times with the music. I judgment nutted.
@@manueltan1850 that moment....
When youve seen sparda....
3:01 amazing tactics : he taunts right before Vergil summons his clone, so Vergil will taunt back, and he have to deal only with the clone itself, not both at the same time.
This absolutely blew my mind when I first realized it. That was godlike
IQ = MOTIVATION
Friendship ended with: Donguri
Now sakaki is my best friend
Both of them are really awesome DMC player tbh. Both have their own style, own combo n both able to blow our mind
Markez If only there was online multiplayer...
Imagine these two in multiplayer. Donguri as Dante and Sakaki as Vergil. Sparda would come back to see that.
@@Daboy804 czcams.com/video/OXcB4rY-UCs/video.html this guy can be Nero
That was amazingly stylish and cinematic.
From countering Vergil's summoned swords with your Sword Formations, going DT along with him, sick combos, to even using Dante's ultimate move Judgement while Vergil uses his ultimate Judgement Cut End... Along with the music phases from DMC3 and that badass intro.
Well done, sir. Kudos to you. Itsuno would have been proud.
THIS IS SOME CINEMATIC LEVEL OF GAMEPLAY.
But most of all....
Those bgm, those things....
Where it all began...
And yet, until now..
Its still perfection.
Rewatching this until sakaki release vergil gameplay
That Judgement Cut End counter is so good! Amazing fight!
Things I, as a decent-ish Dante player and newcomer to the series, audibly gasped at:
1. That opening clash, and did not know you could dodge to the side in the air.
2. The Gunslinger summon swords cancelling Vergil’s attacks, and that lovely voice line - is that specific to this counter, or is this something else?
3. I would never have thought to even dare Quadruple S some combos on Vergil.
4. The multi-slash Royal Guard blocking. This is just a personal bit of awesomeness for me, cause I can’t figure out the timing to save my life (in some instances, literally).
5. Air-Tricking to get a height advantage on Vergil’s downslash.
6. Royal Releasing Vergil in mid-air before he can even start flying.
7. This is honestly the biggest one - Coyote-A’s slide in to avoid the Judgement Cut End. AGH, I am in AWE of this man! I assumed the slides had I-Frames attached to them, but to see it proven SO hard and SO stylishly - truly, a work of art!
8. The Sin Devil Trigger Judgement as a finishing move. I’ve seen it used before, but with the music, and that samurai showdown-esque “Who’s gonna get cut first?” way? Brilliant.
As someone else said long before me, this feels much more like an actual canonical fight between the two brothers, a dance if you will. You’re not just styling on Vergil in an endless combo, but you’re keeping pace and allowing him to move, rather than just dominating the fight outright. You go on both the offensive and the defensive, and it is exhilarating to watch.
Thank you for this, friend. You made my day.
These things are only the tip of the iceberg, and not at all the hardest/most creative parts of the video. What you only see is just the surface of DMC, the things you mentioned are actually only the basics of high level play. I recommend that you give my comment in the video a read to understand some of it. Take just release, for example, Sakaki in DMC4 even did buffered reverse release twice in row, both after doing a stinger, which meant he calculated the release timing like 1 second prior. That's much, much harder than timing just relase/just guard. Most veteran players can do just guard/just release easily (including myself which I don't even consider skilled).
I also recommend giving this thread a read which has player rankings and deep breakdown for some of DMC4/5 combos. Though the post is rather oudated, it holds some ground. In a DMC5 combo, for example, Sakaki made round trip (sword throwing move) miss on purpose so when it flies back like a boomerang, it hits the enemy in the most crucial timing.

You and donguri are the two reasons I learn DMC5 combos everyday. Two distinct playstyles, both equally effective. One with a brute force approach, the other focuses on stylish takedowns. Props to you, man
If you want to see real brute force approach I recommend you check Tekito. That is actually maximizing efficiency.
2:30
Dante is like - Sit down brother!
3:41
Can I just say: Holy Fuck
Judgement Cut End vs Judgement
This was the most badass thing I've seen for the month.
Never have I ever seen a Vergil Battle this well made and so stylish. Even from Donguri.
Kudos on mixing up the theme songs and not just leaving it as Vergil Battle 2.
You are in my eyes *The Best* Dante Player there is for DMC5.
Stuff like this (e.g. His Credo fight and insane combo MADs) are the reason why even some of the best players consider Sakaki the best player in 4. It's just that most things he did in 4 (especially the micro-movements) were too difficult to perceive for average players and thus didn't look impressive to them.
Even in 5, there are plenty of details that you lilely missed as well.
I always thought Sakaki was better than Donguri with Vergil in 4SE but I always liked Donguri’s Dante more. This video changed my mind. They are both Sons of Sparda though.
@@Daboy804 Sakaki's best character was always Dante, and in terms of combo and Credo boss fight, Sakaki's videos were more technical, higher skilled and took more effort (Donguri is usually just saved clips from streaming). Donguri makes a better streamer, but his productions were generally nowhere as hard as Sakaki and many other combo makers in the scene.
Donguri is extremely attractive to casual people in DMC4 because of his abundant use of Guardflying (the move where you see Donguri zipping around), which is while a mid-high level tech that does require some skill, something most high level players can do without effort.
In fact, I'm a very unskilled player, and even I can guardfly:
twitter.com/GradationAir/status/1115541236713054208
Most top level players just don't bother with it as much, or use it for precise movement (that you will probably not notice at all due to how seamless they make them), not just to zip around looking cool.
Sakaki did do the whole zipping thing in some of his videos in 2013 (such as Combo MAD II), when he was relatively green.
czcams.com/video/vvndA87ZLK8/video.html
@@Daboy804 It's because of Sakaki's deep understanding of the game as well as usage of many difficult techs for all three characters, that he was one of the *three* most popular picks for the best DMC4 player among top level players, another one is *Taka,* who is very unknown to casual players unfamiliar with the scene (he got barely 100 subs), but is arguably the most revolutionary figure in DMC4 scene due to the way his combo involve positioning to insane levels that abuses hitbox collisions, that caused a huge leap in the combo meta, and even Sakaki looks up to him. Another popular player that a number of vets consider best is *ArrancarDante/nino,* who also is very unknown outside the scene.
2 years and a few hundred dmc videos later, this is still the best, the edit, the style. Pure awesome
This was literally jaw dropping. So many things I didn’t even know were possible and that opening clash was pure motivation. You are a true son of Sparda.
It is criminal how low the views are on this guy
I’ll watch this enough to get this to 1 mil.
this video should be mentioned in DMC fandom holy bible
I watched donguri and other pro players they fight with no dmg but they arnt as stylish as sakaki is truly
This guy is known as the nickname 'GOD' among the Chinese DMC fans. He deserves the praise.
@@yubinary5385 The Chinese scene is insanely high leveled too. 2white probably holds the best Cavalier Angelo fight to this day, and even he is a big Sakaki fan.

20k stylish points alone RIP and incredible gameplay
2:39 behind you Vergil
Oh God oh fujk he has airpods on oh frick
Hands down the best Vergil fight in CZcams I've ever seen
I just want to let you know that it's been 3 yerars and nobody has ever done this fight better than you ever have. The purple ending is yours and yours alone
That 2:00 music change?
ABSOLUTELY 🔥
This man ladies and gentlemans is show us perfectly how battle between Dante and Virgil should really look like
Seriously, you beat him SO BADLY that it went full circle and made it look like it was a close fight somehow!!
holy shit this is the first time i see anyone dodge into Judgment Cut End with Shotgun stinger rolls
you can dodge it too by rolling back using Balrog in Swordmaster style
3:03 That bgm change really made me break into tears...
"Heal your wound dante, defeating you like this has no meaning"
An Hour next.
"am i a joke to you?"
Didnt you know? Everytime he gets stabbed, he gets stronger like a frickin saiyan.
Sometimes I try to find this video and youtube decides to hide it for some reason. Which sucks since it's one of my favourite DMC videos.
I can not describe how proud I am of this! The flawless execution and the amount of work I'm sure went into this is extraordinary, the editing is outstanding and your attention to every god damn detail is so exceptional! You, with this video alone, take the throne as one of (if not THE) greatest Devil May Cry expert in history. Thank you for existing!
best DMC5 player respect
This is one Vergil Replay I'll always come back to. 00:57 flows so beautifully, the music sinks nicely, and I'm a sucker for good royal guard play. I love it.
2:26
Vergil: Prepare... TO-
Dante: BE GROUNDED!
Dante: Now I had the highground
This is probably the most impressive and beautiful looking DMC 5 Vergil fight clip I've ever seen. In my opinion, the most of thought, creativity, art sense, and effort put into these videos I've encountered yet. You just get a like, a share, a favorite up, and a potential subscriber.
This is still to this day the best representation of the final fight between these two. Sakaki will always hold a spot as one of the best DMC players of all time.
Looking back this fight felt more like a freaking cutscene, seriously using Summon Sword vs Summon Swords, using DT the moment phase 2 kicks in only to drop out to show off royal guard to his flight and that ending. Just magnificent!
サカキさん上手すぎる！！！
バトル導入シーンやDMC3バージル戦BGMメドレーがアツイ！
センスがアツすぎる！！！！！！
3:39
That moment where time slows and you don’t know which ultimate attack will hit first, hella intense.
One of the highlights worthy in gameplay history, not to mention the style bar even agrees. The bar was full in the end of the fight.
3:49
Dante: “See you in Truestyle Tournament, brother.”
Vergil: “Truestyle Tournament....what a pain...”
It's like Dante himself was fighting
This is quite possibly the most well-choreographed and skilled Devil May Cry video on CZcams. Almost a year after uploading it, I still can't stop watching it.
Hideaki Itsuno and the whole team behind of Devil May Cry 5 are a true legends!
Not only they did surpassed my expectations, but also made me to want Devil May Cry 6.
I hope Itsuno will also bring back Onimusha franchise to life.
This is not game play - this is a choreographed dance in which Sakaki also expressed the story to its fullest expression.
Donguri, Sakaki, Smvr, Koudai etc.
All kinds of god hands and fingers
Everyday I pray for the return of sakaki
EVERYDAY I WAKE UP AND THERE'S NO UPLOAD BY SAKAKI1224

@@Bornz0r1337 Why live D:
that is what people should refer to when speaking about high level style of play, thank you for the video
Vergil: how many times have you watched this cutscene?
Dunno... But I've yet to grow tired of it.
The most stylish way to fight this boss, the stylish combos, the music, especially when Vergil transforms into Devil Trigger and his 2nd theme plays.
Couldn't ask for more.
I know how hyperbolic it sounds, but this might be the best video you’ve uploaded. From start to finish, it was amazing. So many things put a smile on my face.
If DMC had a PvP I would love to see you vs donguri
Neither would be able to hit each other. It would never end
there's a pvp mod being made for dmc5
@@melphy-kyunp2903 it's a good attempt. But the lag really makes it difficult to have good fights.
@@melphy-kyunp2903 it's a good attempt. But the lag really makes it difficult to have good fights.
You, Dongiri, and Koudai are the best Devil May Cry 5 players I've ever seen! 💯😊
I didn't realize that little smile from Vergil hides behind a whole other story and realization thx to the manga " visions of V" .. truly a masterpiece
Are we just gonna ignore the perfectly synced BGM / Judgement Cut at 2:03 and 2:17
The music at the end as the S rank was given...perfect. Epic video. Keep it up Sakaki.
Normal youtubers: *plays The Duel theme throughout the video*
Me: Meh, used to it by now.
Donguri: *plays DMC 3 vergil battle 2 theme throughout the video.*
Me: Good times.
Sakaki: *Plays all DMC 3 vergil battle themes and transitions it beautifully as Vergil is left with 50% and 25% of his health*
Me: *Nostalgia Bomb*.
how to do that too? all dmc3 battle soundtrack in m19? send link
Now this is the real deal. Well done. No repetition. Most videos I've seen repeat the same combo over and over again or find a trick to kill Vergil the easy way. This was downright badass and straightforward. And I loved that about it.
Well done.
編集上手すぎ！！プレイも上手すぎ！！デビルメイクライ3のバージル戦の音楽使うあたりセンスが最高！！！
Instantly subscribed holy hell! Not only did that look like it was scripted like any other cutscene jn the game but you did it all in the contexts of the actual gameplay!
SSS Rank 100% deserved!
the transition of music tracks from DMC3 is fantastic
When the timing, ending and the blend of these music were ao perfect that you cant even hesitate that it really looked like a cutscene of a historical battle of Legends..
U deserve much much more appreciation and love for your edinting and skills and GOD the ending is just perfect
I don't know what exact word to describe this vid but this looked so "clean". The attacks are very calculated, not just overwhelmingly releasing barrage of attacks.
3:38 is the coolest moment both of them are using their ultimate attack
The fact that this video is over a year old and still hasn't got a million views is beyond me.
The amount of practice that it takes to get this good and this accurate is impressive. I understand a little about it in my stint into Nioh. Your gameplay is impressive af!
今までみた中で最高の魅せかたでした！
Loving the purple aura in the end .. Judgement Cut vs. Judgement ! Conclusion for the ages 🔥
its honestly fucking crazy how this man did this, like I'm no dmc pro but I know very fucking well that to make a fight like this where it seems so fucking even, even though your not getting hit or anything really, to build this level of tensity is very hard to do. And this man did it all, expertly.
I get excited every time one of you vids drop
Awesome Edit! And well played! Respect.
So this is what they call a heartwarming family reunion?
You got that right.
looking forward to see you playing as Vergil at DMC 5 SE
I don't use the phrase "perfect musical timing" lightly...
When the DMC 3 music started, every fiber of my existence expected Vergil to say "you got that right" like the music would somehow magically change the cut-scene. I was genuinely surprised when he didn't say it.
It's the most dramatic M19 fight I have ever seen. The way you predict Vergil's move and the music for 3 stages of the fight is epic!!! It should be added to the cutscene.
Dante's ultimate shattered Reality so hard, the game went directly to the scoring board.
u r the no1 !it is the most awesome vergil fight i have ever seen
Amazing! Greatest gameplay of mission 19 I've seen so far!
I love the soundtrack perfectly cutting as you end Vergil on the last hit. I'm still looking for the song to this day!
Wait hold on is that unique dialogue for countering his summoned swords with your own? I never caught that.
Please come back Sakaki
We need you now
nice, about time somebody edited the video with my favorite Vergil theme from when they first fought.
戦いを魅せる事においてDMC5で一番この動画が好き。
I wish Vergil had a normal dt to go with his sin dt just to give the battle more stages
How do you even get this good, my god man. I could watch this all day. Well done.
Wow...absolute perfection. Take a bow, Sakaki.
So I came back on this video after watching this thousand time after I downloaded the video. This battle is the best battle on gaming history. This battle video is th most beautifull and the most technical gameplay video I have seen in my entire life. I’m so proud that someone is terribly good at this best 2019 game. I’m so grateful that u did this video. Must be many try. I did my first no dmg run with Nero against Vergil and I can say this is so hard to do what you want to do to make a beautiful gameplay. Thank you for this video it will be in my head for the rest of my life
