With great respect, the algorithmum just now recommended you to me (me to you?), and I've greatly enjoyed this video. I'm indeed going to look at your new video. Your accuracy thus far has aimed me true.
Boy stop! Vergil ain’t nothing but a modern day Icarus. Accept instead of attempting to ascend to the heavens he descended to the hells. Every Shonen Protagonist loves a challenge to help them grow stronger but willingly entering an environment with nothing but hostile entities to your fathers name and all of his bloodline is downright suicidal! And Vergil discovered just like that good ole white man said, “You’re not that guy.” Thankfully the creators of Devil May Cry franchise didn’t go easy on Vergil. He paid dearly for his arrogance and hubris. He was tormented and enslaved in hell to Mundus for over a decade. Sidelined from truly living for over 20 years. Missing out on a real life in his 20’s and 30’s. Which should’ve been some of the best years of his life. His quest for greater power ruined his life. And there’s nothing cool at all about that or him. Vergil is a loser. And his losses are what’s most notable and memorable about the character. While Dante is a consistent winner and high achiever in life. Dante banished Mundas. Defeated Argosax. Rocked Vergil’s sh!t. Slayed the Savior. While all Vergil has ever really done is “F*ck around and find out that he’s not that guy.”
Other game companies: “oh no how will we properly balance him so he doesn’t break the game!!!” Capcom:”what if we make him the coolest most op character ever?”
The summoned swords acting like completely detached entities from Vergil is definitely one of my favorite aspects about them. Almost every single aspect of his kit looks like he's barely putting in effort to pull off, and the summoned swords not requiring any gesture or even acknowledgement from Vergil really sells that.
Honestly, both Dante and Vergil’s summon swords are one of my favorite parts of their combat. Vergil, like you said, and Dante for the support it gives him. The way his swords aid him is creative. When doing any multi-stab attack, a sword would go in every time he pulls away. When doing a stinger, his swords form a drill around his main sword and form tightly to make a second, final thrust. DMC5 just made me fall in love with summon swords
Vergil's combat is effortless cunning and elegant, dante's combat is messy blunt and very playful honestly the guy has more fun fighting than anything else
Oooooo it’s you! Thanks for posting your amazing combo videos and I hope you don’t mind me using clips as examples. You are much better than I at this game ❤️ also your completely correct Vergil is the most balanced character in smash.
@@Mezzy You using a couple of clips is cool. Though you picked one that I was not particularly proud of😅. Anyway, the video was an entertaining watch, keep it up
I actually think Dante & Vergil still look like twins in DMC5, however I theorize that their difference in appearance can be attributed to their vastly differing lifestyle paths, as well as the the distinct and separate environments in the they inhabit. It's quite common for identical twins to look less and less identical as they age.
Dante & Vergil don’t look alike anymore because Dante is a winner and Vergil is a loser. And Dante can’t have that chump Vergil ever being mistaken for the Greatest Demon Hunter of All-Time that Dante is. In spite of how different their lives turned out. I absolutely love how much Dante still loves his brother Virgil. Even though the differences between them are beyond one being good and the other being evil. Dante’s life is defined by his victories whereas Vergil’s life is defined by his failures. I really do think a great DLC for DMC5 should be made about this incredible juxtaposition between these two brothers. Because I absolutely love how much more humble Vergil is in DM5. He’s been through some sh!t and knows now more than ever that he’s not that guy.
The primary method of filling the concentration gauge isn't combos. The primary method is _walking menacingly around the enemy._ That's right. It charges up when you walk (i.e. partially deflect stick so you don't run) while locked onto an enemy. Any running stops the charge and missed attacks deplete it. It's basically the gauge showing how cool you are.
Nothing has ever made me clench my butt harder than Vergil walking towards you in the final mission in dmc3. Legit one of the most terrifying things in video games, only rivaled by Dante walking towards you in dmc4.
Youre not wrong, on almost any difficulty it was a nightmare. You needed to memorize Virgil's moves, timing, and pray to find victory! @@yaqubebased1961
The fact that he managed to describe the awesomeness that is Vergil without mentioning "Bury the Light" already shows this man's insane levels of Motivation.
@@reggielacey2235 Also in DMC5 He teases Vergil about in the future having grandkids, and He also asks to Vergil If He had fun in that night He had sex with Nero's mother lol
I'd say Vergil being one of, if not, the coolest character in a video game fits because, in Dante's Inferno, Dante (the writer) also treats Vergil (the poet he really likes which he cast as a secondary character because Dante's Inferno is essentially a self-insert fanfic of the bible) as like, the coolest dude ever.
You've forgotten the coolest aspects! You fill the concentration gauge by playing like him: Standing still, walking slowly, and are punished when missing attacks. If you wait long enough for him to sheathe his sword after doing any combo, he gets a segment of devil trigger. The game rewards you so much playing in his iconic style, I love it
Fun fact with Yamato. Nearly every time you allow vergil to sheathe the yamato after a combo, You gain extra devil trigger power as a bonus. Plus a great feeling of badassery
@@hylianro It's true tho, if I remember correctly, you can do the instant judgement cut at two points during the animation. Usually one after the move animation with a white flash, and one when he sheathes his sword. The better one being the first one though
Dante and Vergil still do look almost identical It’s a mix of Dante’s beard, their different facial expressions, their different hair and Dante having actually aged that makes them seemingly look different In Dante’s bloody palace ending he changes his hair to Vergil’s hairstyle and he just looks like a bearded Vergil
I see Dante and Vergil as Dante's the embodiment of the hot temperature and Vergil is the embodiment of cool temperature. Dante's fiery personality, flaming sword, hot appearance (color palette wise with lots of warm colors like red don't get any ideas), and just fiery behavior of always going in guns blazing. Meanwhile Vergil's cold personality, cold katana, cool appearance (lots of cool colors like blue), and cold behavior of having a plan before going in.
31 minutes just to try to convince me that Vergil is the coolest? ... Dude, I read the title and I was convinced, just watched the video because curiosity got me motivated...
My favourite thing about Vergil is how he entertains Dante. Like in DMC3 Dante spouts gibberish about a party, and rather than shutting him down Vergil just yes ands him saying he was too excited to make preparations for the bash.
Vergil inspired me so much that i became vergil now. My life goal is now motivation and getting more more power and also listening to his beautiful song everyday since i heard it for the first time. But tbh, vergil is really the coolest and best character i know and i love the dmc series so much. I wish they make a dmc 6
I think its more to the opposite. Dante have fun switching weapons doing combo rather than using his best options. While Vergil hold back having fun but sometimes it shows that he did have fun.
This is one of the few games that no matter how cheesy the things characters say and do, it's not cringey because the characters have the coolness and badassery to back it up
What else can be said? He's just *THE STORM THAT IS APPROACHING* It's just so funny how Capcom was able to create 2 of the greatest and coolest characters of all time in the same game and franchise
Fun Fact identical twins do develop slight, but noticeable physical differences as they get older. Anything like early injuries or other environmental experiences can cause differences that become much more apparent as they get older. Since Dante and Vergil are like in their 40s in this game it makes sense that they don't look 100% identical anymore.
I mean dmc5 is about Vergil hiring his son and brother to fight Vergil so Vergil can fuse with Vergil and be reborn as Vergil, special edition just lets you also play as Vergil. And I loved it!
The Beowulf special attack is just stupid powerful to where even the bosses go flying up in the air. When I saw that I was convinced Vergil was the coolest video game character
As someone who worked with some really talented guys for porting animations of this absolute unit, i can tell you that he is so fast that sometimes we had to slow down the game to as low as 20% to have an idea of what even happened. 40-50 percentage range is when you begin to get into the "reasonable criteria" where the moves are somewhat comprehensible.
The not-so-identical twins thing actually makes sense. I have two little cousins that are getting more and more easy to identify because of how much they differ from eachother in comparision to when they where younger.
Identical kinds stop being fully identical once development occurs so they have a 5% genetic difference due to mutations. Also, the fetus that develops first will likely absorb more nutrients thus developing healthier and with fewer mutations or defects while the weaker twin gets more deprived as the pregnancy nears its full term. These developmental differences create subtle distinctions between the offspring and add to that lifestyle and yeah one twin can be Vergil and the other Dante. I think people are just made because Vergil is the Chad.
@@bleachedout805 5% genetic differences due to mutation? Were did they develop? Near Chernobyl? That’s 310 million basepairs undergoing a…permanent change in the entire diploid genome by the way you described it. Are you talking about accumulated mutations because otherwise I find that hard to believe. Is that the total occurrences of mutations including DNA repair? Say that we really are going for 5% genetic difference spread over the entire genome, it doesn’t really matter if mutations occur in non coding areas, or areas irrelevant to gene expression or in the long run to transcription to phenotypical effect. Just imagine if one of those mutations is a non-sense mutation. That would do a whole lot more than making vergil and dante look different. No matter how you twist or turn it, capcom made a bad call to have a totally different face model for an identical twin. And vergil is the chad? Lol, he is such a beta. The dude slaughtered millions while dante literally absorbed sparda’s power. Vergil keeps tiffing about having power to protect, so I ask, who did vergil protect? That’s right, himself. Dante is the chad.
I mean let's be honest... Every guy, if they're honest, is not looking at porn on their phone in the toilet. They're doing every single Buzzfeed "which DMC character are you?" quiz, trying to get Vergil on each one.
Vergil in any other game would be made fun for being too edgy. Especially his song, Bury The Light. Like, that sone has some of the most early 2000's edge I have ever heard. But somehow, it works beautifully. DMC is a series that just says "yeah, we have that dumb teen edge. So fucking what?" And they just RUN with it in the most ridiculous ways to the point where it's truly just awesome.
I think what separates Bury The Light from other "edgy" themes is that there's a very specific purpose to the lyrics and melodies used in the song. It's literally Virgil in song form.
The reason why people like Vergil despite him only showing in one game is because he’s such an honorable badass character. he lives with his own sense of honor til the very end, which is something extremely rare to find in our world. he doesn’t use gun, he never attack you from behind, he want to fight you fair and square. People says it’s hard to relate with Vergil but I disagree. you don’t have to get your mother killed to understand him. just ask yourself “have I ever been in the situation where I really want power to change the circumstance regardless of control factor ?” Let’s take a look at Vergil. he’s a tortured soul who scarred by the past. always blame himself for everything. his mother died and he blamed himself for not powerful enough to save her. these kind of mindset is indeed, extremely toxic to mental health but instead of sulking, he used it as a driven force. hence the famous line “where’s your motivation ?” that’s why he despises Dante (yet still deeply care for him) for his carefree attitude and try to be different from him. what is Dante fighting for ? is he just do it for the sake of doing it ? you can clearly see Dante being childish, joking around in DMC3. he doesn’t give a shit about anything until Lady slap some sense into him by talking about family. to Vergil, Dante doesn’t seem to care about their mother at all. of course, in our view. we might interpret that he left the past behind because no matter what he does, his mother isn’t going to come back or it’s his way of coping by trying to make fun of everything, to forget the pain. If you think about it. Why Sparda left Yamato, his main weapon and the key of everything that happens in DMCverse to Vergil ? I believe Sparda knows that Vergil represents his pride, honor and determination. Oh, one more thing. human like us, are curiosity animal. our brain loves surprise and reward ourself everytime we see unexpected thing. so, when we see Vergil being such a dork, it brings us a smile. I means.. to think that a very serious & levelheaded character like Vergil love dancing to classic music, being a poetry nerd and goes crazy on violin solo. XD I love Vergil because he’s such a Japanese (As a Japanese myself, I would say “too much ancient Japanese”) and a DILF.
13:53 "Like pretty much every attack he does is something you would see in a cutscene, but you can just *do it. In a video game. During gameplay."* that's devil may cry 5 in general, lol. ik what you mean though and i agree 100%
On the different character models thing. Dante’s been eating nothing but pizza for the last 40 years and hasn’t taken a shower since before his one month coma in a ditch at least. Vergil was possessed for a few years then spent the next 20 years in hell with his exploded body before violently ripping himself in two and has just recently put his soul back together. Frankly it’s weird how they don’t look even more different.
they look almost identical, it's only the hair that makes them look different. when you complete bloody palace as dante, he slicks bak his hair like vergil, and then you can see that they truly are identical
For me, the best thing about Virgil that makes him the best is obviously his theme song.... BORN IN FLAMES, I HAVE BEEN BLESSED, MY FAMILY CREST IS THE DEMON OF DEAAAAAATH!!!!!!!
They also look different because though they are identical twins given Vergil's circumstances he is physically younger than him in body. When he revived, he came back at a peak age for him. Explains why his face is a lot less weathered and clean looking.
Fun fact: using the Yamato and not move canceling and letting him sheath it fully not only gives you a nice sound, it also gives you DT. It literally rewards you for playing calmly, just how Vergil is
In DMC3SE it gives not only DT, but style points as well. For some reason in 4SE it only gives DT but no style. Idk about 5, didn't played as Vergil there.
@@takeserious2641 hey i've finished DMD in 3 and 4 as him, even got all S in 4 :(. I just want to wait until new video card to watch papa Vergil in 5 in full glory (almost 5 years with 750ti ah).
Yeah i mean vergil was built around staying calm and avoiding attacks and stuff, like just look at the concentration gauge, literally punishes you for missing attacks or running around aimlessly. the game literally rewards you for being a badass like vergil
After reading Devil May Cry 5: Visions of V it hits hard some of V’s thoughts about Dante. Especially how he views Dante to be always more superior than him and making him feel like a worthless loser. On a side note, V also encouraged other demonic self to be fuse back into Vergil because Vergil deep down enjoys fighting Dante. He wants to prove his strength to his little brother and “show him no mercy”.
You forgot to mention that Vergil’s Sin Devil Trigger form uses elbow blades, which automatically increases his coolness by 9 points. Plus, they’re made of fire, which adds another 2 points.
I watched this video a bunch of times before getting DMC 5 on Steam during a Sale..... Now... I have finished DMC 5 using Vergil and I'm still watching this video a bunch of times or when YT recommends it to me. This video is TOO COOL!
0:40 if you complete the palace mode as Dante, he’ll actually mock Vergil by slicking back his hair and looking like him. As you mentioned it may be because their motion capture actors are different. Also I love how Vergil is both one of the greatest badasses yet also a secret dork. He also says Jackpot and his EX Provocation is the best by a mile. It’s perfect
Immortal temptation Takes over my mind, condemned Falling weak on my knees Summon the strength of mayhem I am the storm that is approaching Provoking black clouds in isolation I am reclaimer of my name Born in flames, I have been blessed My family crest is a demon of death Forsakened, I am awakened A phoenix's ash in dark divine Descending misery Destiny chasing time Inherit the nightmare, surrounded by fate Can't run away Keep walking the line, between the light Led astray Through vacant halls I won't surrender The truth revealed in eyes of ember We fight through fire and ice forever Two souls once lost, and now they remember I am the storm that is approaching Provoking black clouds in isolation I am reclaimer of my name Born in flames, I have been blessed My family crest is a demon of death Forsakened, I am awakened A phoenix's ash in dark divine Descending misery Destiny chasing time Disappear into the night Lost shadows left behind Obsession's pulling me Fading, I've come to take what's mine Lurking in the shadows under veil of night Constellations of blood pirouette Dancing through the graves of those who stand at my feet Dreams of the black throne I keep on repeat A derelict of dark, summoned from the ashes The puppet master congregates all the masses Pulling strings, twisting minds as blades hit You want this power? Then come try and take it Beyond the tree, fire burns Secret love, bloodline yearns Dark minds embrace, crimson joy Does your dim heart heal or destroy? Bury the light deep within Cast aside, there's no coming home We're burning chaos in the wind Drifting in the ocean all alone
There is also one more cool thing Vergil has that Dante can't do. He can activate his sin devil trigger for a moment and deactivate it without the loss of bar. Dante does kinda have it but you need SSS rank. Vergil can do this at any point in time
Vergil and dante are cool in different ways, so it's wrong to compare them. The point of dante's fighting style is to humiliate his enemy as huge as possible, while vergil is never fooling around and obliterates enemies right from the start.
In the side-by-side comparison, Dante's head is pointing more down while Vergils is pointing more up, so of course they won't look similar. If you've seen Dante with his hair up like Vergils with that special taunt he does, he looks a lot more similar than in the comparison.
Honestly what I really like about Vergil is that someone like me who basically can’t do the more complicated stuff can still use Vergil (less efficient tho) and still look cool
One of my favorite moments with learning this character is when I'm showing him to my friend, who is just now getting it devil May cry and every time he thought I was done explaining what his character could do I would always surprise him with just one more little extra thing that this guy can do. By the time he thought he had figured out everything with the character I showed him the special taunt. I think watching Dante have a dance off with Virgil's doppelganger, was too much for a new fan to take in all at once.
Vergil is one of the very few characters that get much stronger and cooler as a playable character than as an enemy boss it is insane. I recently came back to DMC5 and play as Vergil a lot, practicing and just smacking shit around and the whole time it feels like a final boss fight but it last for the entire game and you are the boss
I'm extremely sad he STILL didn't got his parry from DMC 3 boss fights, would've fit perfectly into his gameplay. Like make it fast startup, slow recovery and little active frames, so it's a very precise move unlike Royal Guard. Still don't get why devs won't add it.
After playing all the games and playing as Vergil for so long I realized that it was pathetic to start slacking off on my exercise, I felt motivated to get back into it, remember to find your motivation and keep working hard to achieve your goals like Virgil would do
I’ve loved the DMC series since I was a kid, but I haven’t had a system to play DMC 5 on until I recently got a ps5 last week. I remembered this video and immediately bought the special edition just for Vergil.
Man l remember playing dmc 3 for the first time wen l was a kid l thought that dante was the coolest dude for like 20 minutes but then vergil showed up and hes designe alone made me go yep thats the coolest dude in all of midia And then l discovered that he used swords insted of guns and l was like this charecter was made for me.
PSN Sale had this game for $10 with Vergil DLC. Downloaded it, instantly played Vergil portion on hard mode and learned how to do the JDC x4 in about four hours or so. Blazed through the game and loved every minute of it.
This is like one of those times when a friend just talks so subjectively about something but you really listen because it's so interesting how passionate they are about something they really like.
Hell on earth is the best super move. At least to me and that "Shockwave" is actually a Supernova. You know the ones suns make and it's so powerful that it sends bosses flying in the air. With the exceptions of Nidhogg, Gilgamesh, King Cerberus, and Urizen(s).
Hell on earth is a great move! I just thought compared to the other super moves it was visually the least exciting. But from a practical standpoint, it's great!
@@Mezzy hell on earth is my favorite move mostly because of the voiceline. "Now im a little motivated" in SDT voice before just fucking demolishing everything is goddamn nut worthy.
My absolute only gripe with this game is Dante's level designs. They alk felt like a different hallway in the same dungeon. Neri and V have the best levels, but Dante was WAY more fun to play and learn with. I haven't had the chance to play as vergil yet but in redownloading the game right now so I can.
Yeah, I feel the same. I love this game, but the Leveldesign in the second half sucks. And tbh, the other levels are also not really creativ. Devil may cry 5 with levels like dmc would be so awasome.
10:55 Okay so the reason the Mirage Edge acts so similar to Rebellion is because it's actually just the Force Edge from DMC1 that Vergil got his hands on for a small amount of time in DMC3. Also in Vergil mode in that game you get to use the Force Edge. Now at this point in the story, the Force Edge has become the Devil Sword Sparda which Dante absorbed so that's why it just a glowy version of it. It's like an echo or a "mirage" ;)
Yup. In addition, what most people don’t acknowledge is that Demons or at at least Demons on Dante and Vergil’s level are able to project this Demon-energy which can be seen with Dante’s and Vergil’s various abilities. Most notably Vergil’s summoned swords. I guess if you want an example from Dante is his charged shot skill from his Gunslinger style.
The Mirage edge is the reflection of Vergil's soul....just like Sparda did it with force edge..Tecnically The Devil sword Dante and Mirage edge are on same level...
The only character who has broken the "When the you unlock the boss as a playable character" trope. Meteorologists wet themselves whenever Vergil is here... _...because he is storm that is approaching._
Fun Fact: Two of Vergil's moves with Beowulf are references to Ken from Street Fighter. The Rising Dragon is Ken's standard super since SSF2T, Shouryu Reppa, and the Kick 13 is from the SF3, Shippu Jinraikyaku. As for the Hell on Earth attack, that's actually a reference to Akuma's Kongou Kokuretsuzan from SF3:3rd Strike.
Vergil's Meter fills just by standing near enemies. It fills faster, the closer you are to enemy. The key here is walking - if you run you lose meter, you need to just walk and teleport! It boosts not only your damage, but also range! The falling swords do not hold enemies in place, they rather slow time to, almost, a stop. Also Void Slash does the same!
I love challenges, but DMC 3 and 5 are the only games where its just as fun to just ABUSE enemies. Its like you are in a brutal horror movie without happy ending, just that you are the monster. Its such a weird experience to fight these Demons that look like death or the devil itself, yet you know that if any of them would somehow survive their encounter with you, they would need lifelong therapy
@@artemis1993 best thing is that in both games DMC and Doom, ripping your opponents depends heavily in the difficulty and your skill, which make it more satisfying
Personally, Ive always liked the idea of being the perfect combination of Virgil and Gambit; Cool, suave, stylish, great with using playing cards and swords as weapons.
A few corrections/details: You can block by just holding lock-on, no need to time it properly. All that matters is how much Concentration you have. Also, that example you showed from Sunhi wasn't a block, it was a parry he did by doing the first attack of Yamato Combo A. You can do up to 4 Judgement Cuts in a row without needing to use teleports. You do a normal one and through it you perform 3 Just Judgement Cuts. Otherwise you can just do 3 Just Judgement Cuts. The point is, you aren't limited to 2. JCE, HoE and Deep Stinger's limitations are that they need LV2 Concentration and a max SDT gauge, regardless if you're in SDT or not. IF you're in SDT while doing them, you only lose 1/4 of your SDT meter, meaning you can stack an ultimate 4 times in a row. If you're in your human form, doing an ultimate will deplete the entire gauge but you'll get some DT in exchange. The new cutscenes are pre-rendered while the normal cutscenes are in-engine, so that's why they look different. No Bury the Light? My motivation decreased by 50%. Excellent video, glad to see the chads who know that Vergil is best boi.
@@Mezzy The new pre-rendered cutscenes are pretty noticeable tbh. For example in the original version of the game if you picked Vergil ex-color costume then his coat in the cutscenes changed to the one you choose, instead of changed it back to the original coat in all the new cutscenes.
Another small one. You can charge literally any Beowulf move that isn't Kick13, Lunar Phase, and Starfall. And even then, Kick13 can go into Rising Star.
@@shinomakichuppy8236 I only use the default costumes either way so that's not something that I come across, but I can see how it'd seem a bit jarring.
One correction I would make about the concentration gauge: It doesn't just go up simply by "doing well" or "doing bad", although that's certainly part of it. The concentration gauge goes up and down based on very specific actions that you do, and makes your attacks more powerful based on how high your concentration level is at. For example, walking slowly or not moving during combat, landing your attacks, dodging, and parrying, all make your concentration meter go up, which make all of your attacks more powerful, which makes you do better in combat. Doing the opposite of these things, however, like taking damage, or missing your attacks, or running around without locking on to your enemies, makes the meter go down, which makes your attacks less powerful, which makes it harder to defeat enemies. Playing as Vergil is not just about playing *as* Vergil, it's also about playing the *way* Vergil would play, the same way he does when you fight him as a boss. It's about adapting to his style and understanding how he fights as a character that makes him even more fun when you master him. Vergil is the ultimate test of skill: When you fight well, he gets better, but when you do badly, he's not as strong, so you have to make sure that you have a good enough understanding of the combat system to fully maximize Vergil's skillset. Can you land your attacks consistently? How well can you time your dodges? Can you chain together combos quickly while switching between weapons? How well can you input ranged attacks? When should you use your Sin Devil Trigger? How well can I use my normal devil trigger to create more awesome combos? Even if you're only a half decent scrub like me whose only barely past halfway into his DMD campaign with Vergil, once you get these basics down, the question is no longer "What can Vergil do?" but "What can *I* do *with* Vergil?" Sorry, this kinda turned into a big rant, but I think it's important to understand the basics of how Vergil works in order maximize the full *P O W E R* and *M O T I V A T I O N* the character has to offer.
There are twins that look identical to each other throughout most of their life but as they get older they stopped looking the same kind of like the twins from The Suite Life of Zack and Cody so Virgil and Dante are essentially twins is just that as they get older they stopped looking like which is why in Devil May Cry 3 they look exactly the same but with different hair
*i believe that is affected by growing up in different enviroments, which would explain a lot cause Vergil was enslaved by a Demon lord and slowly dying for more or less 20 years of his life*
@@halionextra No shit, man's been asleep almost half dead for saying "quite awhile" would be an understatement he's not gonna grow a beard/mustache in that timeframe + Dante went into a coma for 5 months or something so his beard grew out which is why he looks wayy older than Vergil
Hello, I have finally made a new video.
czcams.com/video/xIuZi4X2KKs/video.html
With great respect, the algorithmum just now recommended you to me (me to you?), and I've greatly enjoyed this video. I'm indeed going to look at your new video.
Your accuracy thus far has aimed me true.
What is the song you used the beginning in the video it sounds really good.
Vergil is so cool that they even add him in other games that aren't even dmc related😂😂
I've been trying to find the song for about a month now please tell me the name of the song you used in the begining of the video
Boy stop! Vergil ain’t nothing but a modern day Icarus. Accept instead of attempting to ascend to the heavens he descended to the hells. Every Shonen Protagonist loves a challenge to help them grow stronger but willingly entering an environment with nothing but hostile entities to your fathers name and all of his bloodline is downright suicidal!
And Vergil discovered just like that good ole white man said, “You’re not that guy.”
Thankfully the creators of Devil May Cry franchise didn’t go easy on Vergil. He paid dearly for his arrogance and hubris. He was tormented and enslaved in hell to Mundus for over a decade. Sidelined from truly living for over 20 years.
Missing out on a real life in his 20’s and 30’s. Which should’ve been some of the best years of his life.
His quest for greater power ruined his life. And there’s nothing cool at all about that or him.
Vergil is a loser. And his losses are what’s most notable and memorable about the character.
While Dante is a consistent winner and high achiever in life. Dante banished Mundas. Defeated Argosax. Rocked Vergil’s sh!t. Slayed the Savior.
While all Vergil has ever really done is “F*ck around and find out that he’s not that guy.”
Vergil is the anti-meme of the "Final Boss when you fight him vs Finals Boss when you unlock him"
vergil when you fight him: "hi im vergil im a pretty hard boss"
vergil when you unlock him: RB+L3FORWARD+Y+B=satisfaction
Damn right
Vergil as final boss: "I am the storm that is approaching!!!!"
Vergil as playable character: "I am the storm that is approaching!!!!"
@@eternallyhardstuck Vergil when you play as him; DAMN, I'M TRASH! NO WONDER HE BEAT MY ASS REPEATEDLY, FUCKERS COMPLICATED!
Funilly enough he is stronger when controlled by the player
The only problem is that they should have renamed his "concentration" gauge to the "Motivation" gauge.
Motivation meter has more ring to it.
Where's your motivation?
They cant do motivation because then vergil would never have to refill the bar ever again
@@xanmanskaggs216 Vergil must be extremely motivated having this knowledge
@@jlaw264 I'm playing dmc 5 as vergil with an empty bar can you not
Other game companies: “oh no how will we properly balance him so he doesn’t break the game!!!”
Capcom:”what if we make him the coolest most op character ever?”
In DMC 3 was reason u unlocked Vergil AFTER beating it on like 2nd or max difficulty. You proved u can manage so let loose now.
The summoned swords acting like completely detached entities from Vergil is definitely one of my favorite aspects about them. Almost every single aspect of his kit looks like he's barely putting in effort to pull off, and the summoned swords not requiring any gesture or even acknowledgement from Vergil really sells that.
Honestly, both Dante and Vergil’s summon swords are one of my favorite parts of their combat.
Vergil, like you said, and Dante for the support it gives him. The way his swords aid him is creative.
When doing any multi-stab attack, a sword would go in every time he pulls away. When doing a stinger, his swords form a drill around his main sword and form tightly to make a second, final thrust.
DMC5 just made me fall in love with summon swords
Vergil's combat is effortless cunning and elegant, dante's combat is messy blunt and very playful honestly the guy has more fun fighting than anything else
@@nakar882I would replace messy with abstract or complex. Dante has refined form and technique. Nero is messy with his combat though.
@@beethovenstrance5042The beginning of the game literally has him fucking WRANGLE an Empusa with wire snatch. Messy indeed.

Identical twins look more different the older they get, so Vergil and Dante looking different in 5 makes sense
I feel like even if you have a twin that has a different look, you would still look the same.
@@jjdilla9848 I have an identical twin brother, and we don’t look alike anymore. It’s weird but it happens
@@jjdilla9848
It's genetics. Different environments, experiences, activities and lifestyles affect which genes are expressed.
what did the egg mcmuffin do tho?
@@Mezzy you don’t want to know
I actually think Dante & Vergil still look like twins in DMC5, however I theorize that their difference in appearance can be attributed to their vastly differing lifestyle paths, as well as the the distinct and separate environments in the they inhabit. It's quite common for identical twins to look less and less identical as they age.
You telling me 20 years of pizza and Jack Daniels will do that? Damn
@@velphidrow8317more like 20 years of grinning and talking shit to demons.
One of them was in hell for over a decade, no joke.
Dante & Vergil don’t look alike anymore because Dante is a winner and Vergil is a loser. And Dante can’t have that chump Vergil ever being mistaken for the Greatest Demon Hunter of All-Time that Dante is.
In spite of how different their lives turned out. I absolutely love how much Dante still loves his brother Virgil. Even though the differences between them are beyond one being good and the other being evil.
Dante’s life is defined by his victories whereas Vergil’s life is defined by his failures.
I really do think a great DLC for DMC5 should be made about this incredible juxtaposition between these two brothers.
Because I absolutely love how much more humble Vergil is in DM5. He’s been through some sh!t and knows now more than ever that he’s not that guy.
@endershepard7117 OK, but vergil ain't evil (except for the few times he was)
The primary method of filling the concentration gauge isn't combos. The primary method is _walking menacingly around the enemy._ That's right. It charges up when you walk (i.e. partially deflect stick so you don't run) while locked onto an enemy. Any running stops the charge and missed attacks deplete it. It's basically the gauge showing how cool you are.
Nothing has ever made me clench my butt harder than Vergil walking towards you in the final mission in dmc3. Legit one of the most terrifying things in video games, only rivaled by Dante walking towards you in dmc4.
Youre not wrong, on almost any difficulty it was a nightmare. You needed to memorize Virgil's moves, timing, and pray to find victory! @@yaqubebased1961
You spent 31 minutes talking about how awesome Vergil is and didn't once mention Bury the Light.

You lack motivation
The fact that he managed to describe the awesomeness that is Vergil without mentioning "Bury the Light" already shows this man's insane levels of Motivation.

Vergil also knows what sex is which makes him that much more powerful
In my headcanon, despite making fun of Vergil for having no pullout game, Dante actually doesn't have the slightest clue what sex is.
So does dante. Dude had sex multiple times
@@reggielacey2235 I doubt that. He's got a magical aura around him that forces every girl to automatically turn him down
@@Diaisdumb nah. He had sex. Both kamiya and itsuno confirmed it. He ha multiple one night stands. You see this in the dmc1 novel
@@reggielacey2235 Also in DMC5 He teases Vergil about in the future having grandkids, and He also asks to Vergil If He had fun in that night He had sex with Nero's mother lol
I'd say Vergil being one of, if not, the coolest character in a video game fits because, in Dante's Inferno, Dante (the writer) also treats Vergil (the poet he really likes which he cast as a secondary character because Dante's Inferno is essentially a self-insert fanfic of the bible) as like, the coolest dude ever.
You've forgotten the coolest aspects!
You fill the concentration gauge by playing like him: Standing still, walking slowly, and are punished when missing attacks.
If you wait long enough for him to sheathe his sword after doing any combo, he gets a segment of devil trigger.
The game rewards you so much playing in his iconic style, I love it

You can also pull off a perfect judgement cut after any move where he sheathes his sword.

Vergil is a man of focus , commitment , and sheer motivation
Dante and Vergil still do look almost identical
It’s a mix of Dante’s beard, their different facial expressions, their different hair and Dante having actually aged that makes them seemingly look different
In Dante’s bloody palace ending he changes his hair to Vergil’s hairstyle and he just looks like a bearded Vergil
I see Dante and Vergil as Dante's the embodiment of the hot temperature and Vergil is the embodiment of cool temperature. Dante's fiery personality, flaming sword, hot appearance (color palette wise with lots of warm colors like red don't get any ideas), and just fiery behavior of always going in guns blazing. Meanwhile Vergil's cold personality, cold katana, cool appearance (lots of cool colors like blue), and cold behavior of having a plan before going in.
No, they don't.

My favourite thing about Vergil is how he entertains Dante. Like in DMC3 Dante spouts gibberish about a party, and rather than shutting him down Vergil just yes ands him saying he was too excited to make preparations for the bash.
Vergil inspired me so much that i became vergil now. My life goal is now motivation and getting more more power and also listening to his beautiful song everyday since i heard it for the first time. But tbh, vergil is really the coolest and best character i know and i love the dmc series so much. I wish they make a dmc 6

I think its more to the opposite. Dante have fun switching weapons doing combo rather than using his best options. While Vergil hold back having fun but sometimes it shows that he did have fun.
That's the life of a mango. Just can't peel him.

It's just so funny how Capcom was able to create 2 of the greatest and coolest characters of all time in the same game and franchise
Fun Fact identical twins do develop slight, but noticeable physical differences as they get older. Anything like early injuries or other environmental experiences can cause differences that become much more apparent as they get older. Since Dante and Vergil are like in their 40s in this game it makes sense that they don't look 100% identical anymore.
and also vergil has died at least once among many other things that could affect his physical appearance like being nelo angelo and tortured by mundus
yea lol
I liked when they looked the same sense they twins but I guess it's not too bad
actually if vergil let his hair down and had beard, he'd look the same as dante but blue
@@keylite69 lmao have you looked at their faces

that's... accurate !
Fellow max0r fan... NICE
The Beowulf special attack is just stupid powerful to where even the bosses go flying up in the air. When I saw that I was convinced Vergil was the coolest video game character
As someone who worked with some really talented guys for porting animations of this absolute unit, i can tell you that he is so fast that sometimes we had to slow down the game to as low as 20% to have an idea of what even happened. 40-50 percentage range is when you begin to get into the "reasonable criteria" where the moves are somewhat comprehensible.
The not-so-identical twins thing actually makes sense. I have two little cousins that are getting more and more easy to identify because of how much they differ from eachother in comparision to when they where younger.
Identical kinds stop being fully identical once development occurs so they have a 5% genetic difference due to mutations. Also, the fetus that develops first will likely absorb more nutrients thus developing healthier and with fewer mutations or defects while the weaker twin gets more deprived as the pregnancy nears its full term.
These developmental differences create subtle distinctions between the offspring and add to that lifestyle and yeah one twin can be Vergil and the other Dante.
I think people are just made because Vergil is the Chad.
@@bleachedout805 identical twins can and do look different, but never to the point of looking like completely different people.
Same
Same with me and my bro.
@@bleachedout805 5% genetic differences due to mutation? Were did they develop? Near Chernobyl? That’s 310 million basepairs undergoing a…permanent change in the entire diploid genome by the way you described it. Are you talking about accumulated mutations because otherwise I find that hard to believe. Is that the total occurrences of mutations including DNA repair? Say that we really are going for 5% genetic difference spread over the entire genome, it doesn’t really matter if mutations occur in non coding areas, or areas irrelevant to gene expression or in the long run to transcription to phenotypical effect.
Just imagine if one of those mutations is a non-sense mutation. That would do a whole lot more than making vergil and dante look different.
No matter how you twist or turn it, capcom made a bad call to have a totally different face model for an identical twin.
And vergil is the chad? Lol, he is such a beta. The dude slaughtered millions while dante literally absorbed sparda’s power. Vergil keeps tiffing about having power to protect, so I ask, who did vergil protect? That’s right, himself. Dante is the chad.
I mean let's be honest... Every guy, if they're honest, is not looking at porn on their phone in the toilet. They're doing every single Buzzfeed "which DMC character are you?" quiz, trying to get Vergil on each one.

All. Not most.

I remember 1st time it was used on me in DMC3... sound of cuts still inspires fear deep in my soul.
Vergil in any other game would be made fun for being too edgy. Especially his song, Bury The Light. Like, that sone has some of the most early 2000's edge I have ever heard. But somehow, it works beautifully. DMC is a series that just says "yeah, we have that dumb teen edge. So fucking what?" And they just RUN with it in the most ridiculous ways to the point where it's truly just awesome.
I think what separates Bury The Light from other "edgy" themes is that there's a very specific purpose to the lyrics and melodies used in the song. It's literally Virgil in song form.
@@SolidSnake240 Fax
Have you seen him as a mod for DNFDuel? lmao

The reason why people like Vergil despite him only showing in one game is because he’s such an honorable badass character. he lives with his own sense of honor til the very end, which is something extremely rare to find in our world. he doesn’t use gun, he never attack you from behind, he want to fight you fair and square.
People says it’s hard to relate with Vergil but I disagree. you don’t have to get your mother killed to understand him. just ask yourself “have I ever been in the situation where I really want power to change the circumstance regardless of control factor ?”
Let’s take a look at Vergil. he’s a tortured soul who scarred by the past. always blame himself for everything. his mother died and he blamed himself for not powerful enough to save her. these kind of mindset is indeed, extremely toxic to mental health but instead of sulking, he used it as a driven force. hence the famous line “where’s your motivation ?” that’s why he despises Dante (yet still deeply care for him) for his carefree attitude and try to be different from him.
what is Dante fighting for ? is he just do it for the sake of doing it ? you can clearly see Dante being childish, joking around in DMC3. he doesn’t give a shit about anything until Lady slap some sense into him by talking about family. to Vergil, Dante doesn’t seem to care about their mother at all. of course, in our view. we might interpret that he left the past behind because no matter what he does, his mother isn’t going to come back or it’s his way of coping by trying to make fun of everything, to forget the pain.
If you think about it. Why Sparda left Yamato, his main weapon and the key of everything that happens in DMCverse to Vergil ? I believe Sparda knows that Vergil represents his pride, honor and determination.
Oh, one more thing. human like us, are curiosity animal. our brain loves surprise and reward ourself everytime we see unexpected thing. so, when we see Vergil being such a dork, it brings us a smile. I means.. to think that a very serious & levelheaded character like Vergil love dancing to classic music, being a poetry nerd and goes crazy on violin solo. XD
I love Vergil because he’s such a Japanese (As a Japanese myself, I would say “too much ancient Japanese”) and a DILF.
He does have extreme DILF energy
I don't know man, whenever I fight Vergil he always teleports behind me... (especially dmc3)
Try to look at his face model *Maxim Nazarov* for more DILF energy
Thank you, Nana-san~
What’s so honorable about ripping your son’s arm of? I mean I love Vergil too, but he seriously needs a proper redemption arc.

On the different character models thing. Dante’s been eating nothing but pizza for the last 40 years and hasn’t taken a shower since before his one month coma in a ditch at least. Vergil was possessed for a few years then spent the next 20 years in hell with his exploded body before violently ripping himself in two and has just recently put his soul back together. Frankly it’s weird how they don’t look even more different.
they look almost identical, it's only the hair that makes them look different. when you complete bloody palace as dante, he slicks bak his hair like vergil, and then you can see that they truly are identical

Drifting in the ocean all alone
There is also one more cool thing Vergil has that Dante can't do. He can activate his sin devil trigger for a moment and deactivate it without the loss of bar. Dante does kinda have it but you need SSS rank. Vergil can do this at any point in time
Always was in more control of it VS Dante resisting it. Vergil embraced and trained for control and power as dante wanted to still be/play human.
Vergil and dante are cool in different ways, so it's wrong to compare them. The point of dante's fighting style is to humiliate his enemy as huge as possible, while vergil is never fooling around and obliterates enemies right from the start.

In the side-by-side comparison, Dante's head is pointing more down while Vergils is pointing more up, so of course they won't look similar. If you've seen Dante with his hair up like Vergils with that special taunt he does, he looks a lot more similar than in the comparison.
Honestly what I really like about Vergil is that someone like me who basically can’t do the more complicated stuff can still use Vergil (less efficient tho) and still look cool
Yess it is for beginners. He is easy to use.
One of my favorite moments with learning this character is when I'm showing him to my friend, who is just now getting it devil May cry and every time he thought I was done explaining what his character could do I would always surprise him with just one more little extra thing that this guy can do.

Hell on earth is a great move! I just thought compared to the other super moves it was visually the least exciting. But from a practical standpoint, it's great!
@@Mezzy i prefer to call HoE as judgement dunk. Nothing beats dunking on your enemy
@@Mezzy hell on earth is my favorite move mostly because of the voiceline. "Now im a little motivated" in SDT voice before just fucking demolishing everything is goddamn nut worthy.
You know the video is Good when im rewatching it two times and still love it!
My absolute only gripe with this game is Dante's level designs. They alk felt like a different hallway in the same dungeon. Neri and V have the best levels, but Dante was WAY more fun to play and learn with. I haven't had the chance to play as vergil yet but in redownloading the game right now so I can.
Yeah, I feel the same. I love this game, but the Leveldesign in the second half sucks. And tbh, the other levels are also not really creativ. Devil may cry 5 with levels like dmc would be so awasome.
10:55 Okay so the reason the Mirage Edge acts so similar to Rebellion is because it's actually just the Force Edge from DMC1 that Vergil got his hands on for a small amount of time in DMC3. Also in Vergil mode in that game you get to use the Force Edge.
Now at this point in the story, the Force Edge has become the Devil Sword Sparda which Dante absorbed so that's why it just a glowy version of it. It's like an echo or a "mirage" ;)
Basically a summoned sword version of the Force Edge
It's how nero creates yamato in his devil trigger
@@shioniiluxion6457 basicly yes
Yup. In addition, what most people don’t acknowledge is that Demons or at at least Demons on Dante and Vergil’s level are able to project this Demon-energy which can be seen with Dante’s and Vergil’s various abilities. Most notably Vergil’s summoned swords. I guess if you want an example from Dante is his charged shot skill from his Gunslinger style.
The Mirage edge is the reflection of Vergil's soul....just like Sparda did it with force edge..Tecnically The Devil sword Dante and Mirage edge are on same level...
The only character who has broken the "When the you unlock the boss as a playable character" trope.
Meteorologists wet themselves whenever Vergil is here...
_...because he is storm that is approaching._
Venom from the ultimate spider-man on ps2
besides, very original comment that isn’t filled with cringe.
@@hodb3906 your comment isn't original either you know?
@@hodb3906 nothing is original, having the same idea doesn't mean someone isn't original.
This video is one of the reasons that motivated me to get the game just to play as Vergil
Thank you for this awesome love letter to my favorite game. You earned a sub and hopefully many more.
I love this man's voice and passion for Vergil, this is great
Really late for this one but 16:57 to 17:08 speaks for me and every other proud Vergil dick rider out there.
Vergil is the epitome of cool and fun hack'n slash play style that the Dynasty Warrior franchise tries to achieve, but fails miserably.
I have no idea how Dynasty warrior got as successful as it’s such basic ass lame combat
@@Masterdeber It's because people are stupid

29:43 just like a good neighbour, statefarm is there
Fun Fact: Two of Vergil's moves with Beowulf are references to Ken from Street Fighter. The Rising Dragon is Ken's standard super since SSF2T, Shouryu Reppa, and the Kick 13 is from the SF3, Shippu Jinraikyaku. As for the Hell on Earth attack, that's actually a reference to Akuma's Kongou Kokuretsuzan from SF3:3rd Strike.
Vergil's Meter fills just by standing near enemies. It fills faster, the closer you are to enemy. The key here is walking - if you run you lose meter, you need to just walk and teleport! It boosts not only your damage, but also range! The falling swords do not hold enemies in place, they rather slow time to, almost, a stop. Also Void Slash does the same!
Walking and teleporting is way cooler than running.
I love challenges, but DMC 3 and 5 are the only games where its just as fun to just ABUSE enemies. Its like you are in a brutal horror movie without happy ending, just that you are the monster.
Its such a weird experience to fight these Demons that look like death or the devil itself, yet you know that if any of them would somehow survive their encounter with you, they would need lifelong therapy
So basically the Doomslayer then???
@@artemis1993 best thing is that in both games DMC and Doom, ripping your opponents depends heavily in the difficulty and your skill, which make it more satisfying
Personally, Ive always liked the idea of being the perfect combination of Virgil and Gambit; Cool, suave, stylish, great with using playing cards and swords as weapons.
This was hilariously fun to listen to bro. Thank you
A few corrections/details:
You can block by just holding lock-on, no need to time it properly. All that matters is how much Concentration you have. Also, that example you showed from Sunhi wasn't a block, it was a parry he did by doing the first attack of Yamato Combo A.
You can do up to 4 Judgement Cuts in a row without needing to use teleports. You do a normal one and through it you perform 3 Just Judgement Cuts. Otherwise you can just do 3 Just
Judgement Cuts. The point is, you aren't limited to 2.
JCE, HoE and Deep Stinger's limitations are that they need LV2 Concentration and a max SDT gauge, regardless if you're in SDT or not. IF you're in SDT while doing them, you only lose 1/4 of your SDT meter, meaning you can stack an ultimate 4 times in a row. If you're in your human form, doing an ultimate will deplete the entire gauge but you'll get some DT in exchange.
The new cutscenes are pre-rendered while the normal cutscenes are in-engine, so that's why they look different.
No Bury the Light? My motivation decreased by 50%.
Excellent video, glad to see the chads who know that Vergil is best boi.
Wow I didn't know any of that stuff, thanks for the info!
@@Mezzy The new pre-rendered cutscenes are pretty noticeable tbh. For example in the original version of the game if you picked Vergil ex-color costume then his coat in the cutscenes changed to the one you choose, instead of changed it back to the original coat in all the new cutscenes.
Another small one. You can charge literally any Beowulf move that isn't Kick13, Lunar Phase, and Starfall. And even then, Kick13 can go into Rising Star.
@@shinomakichuppy8236 I only use the default costumes either way so that's not something that I come across, but I can see how it'd seem a bit jarring.
@@sethfeldmann3204 He didn't make it obvious that you can't charge Beowulf's attacks which is why I didn't comment on it. Otherwise, you're correct.
Vergil is fundamentally designed to make you feel like the most powerful creature in the world. And that's why I love playing as him
I’ve never been able to keep concentration on level two but managed a couple times, and it feels amazing
I love your hilarious style of narration. Please make more videos
I love how honest this dude is about how much he loves Virgil.
One correction I would make about the concentration gauge: It doesn't just go up simply by "doing well" or "doing bad", although that's certainly part of it. The concentration gauge goes up and down based on very specific actions that you do, and makes your attacks more powerful based on how high your concentration level is at.
For example, walking slowly or not moving during combat, landing your attacks, dodging, and parrying, all make your concentration meter go up, which make all of your attacks more powerful, which makes you do better in combat. Doing the opposite of these things, however, like taking damage, or missing your attacks, or running around without locking on to your enemies, makes the meter go down, which makes your attacks less powerful, which makes it harder to defeat enemies.
Playing as Vergil is not just about playing *as* Vergil, it's also about playing the *way* Vergil would play, the same way he does when you fight him as a boss. It's about adapting to his style and understanding how he fights as a character that makes him even more fun when you master him.
Vergil is the ultimate test of skill: When you fight well, he gets better, but when you do badly, he's not as strong, so you have to make sure that you have a good enough understanding of the combat system to fully maximize Vergil's skillset. Can you land your attacks consistently? How well can you time your dodges? Can you chain together combos quickly while switching between weapons? How well can you input ranged attacks? When should you use your Sin Devil Trigger? How well can I use my normal devil trigger to create more awesome combos?
Even if you're only a half decent scrub like me whose only barely past halfway into his DMD campaign with Vergil, once you get these basics down, the question is no longer "What can Vergil do?" but "What can *I* do *with* Vergil?"
Sorry, this kinda turned into a big rant, but I think it's important to understand the basics of how Vergil works in order maximize the full *P O W E R* and *M O T I V A T I O N* the character has to offer.
Thank you, this was needed. You channeled divinity
Now I’m motivated
I LOVE THIS VIDEO
your commentary is amazing, its informative funny and entertaining
Love it, sub
I always come back to this video whenever I need to remember why Vergil is so cool.
There are twins that look identical to each other throughout most of their life but as they get older they stopped looking the same kind of like the twins from The Suite Life of Zack and Cody so Virgil and Dante are essentially twins is just that as they get older they stopped looking like which is why in Devil May Cry 3 they look exactly the same but with different hair
*i believe that is affected by growing up in different enviroments, which would explain a lot cause Vergil was enslaved by a Demon lord and slowly dying for more or less 20 years of his life*
@@skywoofyt5375 But Vergil looks younger
@@halionextra No shit, man's been asleep almost half dead for saying "quite awhile" would be an understatement he's not gonna grow a beard/mustache in that timeframe + Dante went into a coma for 5 months or something so his beard grew out which is why he looks wayy older than Vergil
