But seriously, it comes down to just muscle memory and predicting the AI. The more you play and experiment, the better you'll be.
Then eventually you'll start doing some stylish gameplay even without the super advanced stuff. DMC5 has breakers and maijin dante to help out newcomers so really it's better to get into now than dmc4 was.
to form your own style I think you basically will at some point just have to watch a ton of DMC videos and just soak it all in to really have a grasp on the whole meta development of the series of so many years.
deep dive into it look at old TST entries and stuff treat it as an educational thing not just for entertainment you are trying to learn from it and get inspired to play. There's a lot of really good and varied DMC style content out there, take the plunge it's well worth it
Donguri is a player a lot of people like and he is very good. Watch and study his gameplay: https://youtu.be/oTugfW3uwIk
he's more known for combos but I find he's a very impressive freestyler too. Another players i highly recommend is DelusionaryKiller not only is he legit probably the best all around DMC player across all the games but he has playlists of hundreds of DMC videos saved on his channel. It's truly an excellent resource if you are looking to see good DMC gameplay and also the history of it on youtube
This is how every good player got where they were, they just liked the game and played it a lot and got really invested
I can give some personal tips from my point of view but I think this first thing is the most important.
Play every day if you can, make it a little routine. Find comfort in it, the slow progression and knowing that you are working to take your skills to the limit in something you really enjoy and imo if you got decent hand-eye and reflexes you have the potential in you to be great at DMC you just have to keep at it. It's a grind
Sometimes you will feel like you aren't making much progress, or have set yourself back, and it may be true and in those times is when I take breaks or just start playing less serious, I'm saying to go really hard but keep balance in mind don't put yourself so much into it you start hating it. You don't gotta be constantly going mach 5 sometimes you need to take a step back and re-evaluate things because it's easy to get stuck in your ways and sabotage yourself
What everyone has said here is pretty much true but also missing some aspects of play which is to be expected like it's not just muscle memory and predicting AI like Bruh Moment said.
Those are parts of it but there's also things like understanding stun(less important on lower difficulties), hitboxes and enemy displacement properties the way they react to your moves based on inputs is consistent there is no predictions of behaviour there it's just slow progressive learning and mastery
Some more personal tips of mine:
Play DMC3 or 4 or both and learn the fundamentals of those games to a good degree. You don't have to completely master it but have a good general grasp on almost everything from basics to advanced tech. A lot of things carry over to DMC5 and playing those games will make DMC5 feel really easy in comparison. There's a lot of good DMC3 tutorials out there, for DMC4 I would point you here: https://youtu.be/Wh1nKT8G0Ro
I think that guide is worth watching even if you don't even play DMC4 dante. 2bepower is such a legend.
It teaches you so much about DMC there's unique stuff to DMC4 in there but a lot of the concepts are universal to DMC games like the way he teaches to jump cancel is invaluable for people to know a lot of people know about jump cancelling but don't know how to best use it or execute it.
Let's be honest here. you can't. Most if not all people on this board can't. It wouldn't be wrong to say that Donguri is In the Top 10 of DMC players. You can approach a similar level of play with enough effort, but being at the top is another matter entirely and then there are of course people that are even beyond donguri.
the swong n the ching Post is a perfect example why it's not worth it to be that good. If something requires that amount of effort it is much better to use it on something far more productive in your life.
You don't need to be nearly as good as that to S rank the game on every difficulty. For that you just need to play the game progress though the challenges and become better as you play through regular play.
So whats your yt channel?
There was also this one Asian youtuber, who defeated Nelo on DMD with no damage, using Ifrit, taunt, and grenade launcher. Still can't touch that.
I think Kail Resurfaced at one point and actually did some DMCV combo Mads but then got shat on by some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on youtube and quit because of the hate.
Donguri is the guy casual people know. His style is very flashy and impressive looking even to people who are not familiar with the games he plays. Donguri also branches out to wide variety of games and is excellent at freestyle. And while he might not be "the" best he's still one of the top guys. The guy puts enough work to deserve his fame and that's why he's the one people constantly talk about. If a game has any combat depth at all there's a chance Donguri has made a combo mad about it.
I mean sure There's someone like Sakaki, but someone barely familiar with the mechanics wouldn't even necessarily pick up why some of the ♥♥♥♥ he does is so damn impressive.
