which character do you enjoy the LEAST?

[Seoul]

Everyone has a favourite character, and although I'd love to hear it, I'm wondering which character you enjoy the least to play; I personally hate playing V there's just something about his design, his playstyle and how he talks that drives me mental.

He's a well-designed character just the exact opposite of what I like.

Anyway what character do you hate to play

[Skyz]

Vergil because i'm a weeb and love Katanas. Plus he's just fun to play

Neros exceed is pretty much the reason why I don't like playing him, playing dmd with him feels like chopping trees sometimes. But he can be a beast at least... everytime I play really good the combos he does are insane.. he is the air king for me.

I still prefer the systems Dante has. These perfect timing systems are super hard to learn imho. Especially Exceeds. Thats why I love Dante and Vergil. You can ignore (but shouldn't) Royal Guard and Perfect Judgement Cuts and stlll dish out superb dmg.

Air king, really? I personally think dante or vergil are the air kings since they have a lot of weapons that have aerial combos. Then again I'm still a noob at this game, only other dmc game i've played is the dmc:devil may cry.

Least favorite is V since I like the dopamine sword slashing gives me. Most favorite is between Nero and Vergil.

That's why I said for me tho. Vergil is very strange with staying in the air since he literally only has the yamato as effective dmg source outside of jump canceling beowulf.

Dante can easily stay in the air for infinite amounts of time .. if you can utilize trickster with jump cancels and air taunt. Which is... hard xD.

Nero however is very easy to combo stuff in the air just because of the ability to snatch stuff and gerbera arm ofc. Especially after you completed the game one time. Nero becomes pretty great if you wanna utilize air combos to the fullest.

But thats just me. Since I suck with exceeds he still is pretty limiting for me on dante must die.

Nero is super easy to keep airborn. He has a triple jump as unlockable ability, and his airtaunt also gives bonus airtime. And if you give him Gerbera he can basically fly. That's on top of being able to easy snatch up light enemies and jump off their heads.

Dante and Vergil are both better in the air than Nero is and can do WAY more, Nero is just the easiest character to play.

Nero. His moves seem a bit limited. His sword attacks seem to be on the more clumsy side. Arm attacks don't make up for lack of combos.

Playing as Virgil is another story.

Dante is fun enough, but he doesn't have Virgil's good timing.

V is having to juggle three beasts at once. Can be hard to keep up with. V also has to get the killing blow. You're basically having to use two attacks at once. Easy to learn but hard to master.

What?

This may sound incredible/stupid, but I enjoyed every single character almost equally. Nero's arms do all that I could ask for, his gun and sword rock. I always got S or more playing as V, though there were times I couldn't get Shadow to do what I wanted it to. Dante is incredibly fun and has so much variety in his 4 fighting modes and all those ranged and close-ranged weapons. Vergil is absolutely epic, of course. Getting SSS hasn't been easier thanks to Vergil.

I'd say my play experience was very similar to this; Nero felt super easy to pick up, V was my first SSS, Dante is incredibly fun, and my preferred character, once you get the weapons and stuff down and Vergil is just cool

Exactly, between V, Nero and Dante I also prefer him to play. It's a tie between Dante and Vergil though!

IMO, character rankings (remember, my opinions. You're welcome to disagree)

Only thing Vergil's missing is Royal Guard. Storm is approaching / 10
Dante's gunslinger somehow got worse from 4 to 5, but he finally clicked for me in this game. 8/10
V is a failure of an experiment, but I can't help but appreciate the effort the devs put into it, and it's always nice to see a company try a gamble.

Nero was a disappointment in 4 and he still is in 5. Lots of ending lag after attacks, limited moveset, Exceed doesn't feel rewarding, prosthetic arms are an interesting gimmick but are really only useful for getting out of grabs (I only ever get grabbed as Nero though)

If you think Devil Breakers are "only useful for getting out of grabs" then you fundamentally just don't understand how Nero works. They have insane movement applications, combo potential, damage output, etcetera. They're the most important part of his entire kit and the addition of them alone made him a much more diverse and interesting character than he was in 4.

Nero might have been an unfinished character in 4, but in this one he is definitely a ton better and I think he can be as enjoyable as Dante and Vergil if you know how to play him. Sure he lacks the moveset variety of the aforementioned two, but that's not what his character is about. Nero is about charging damage and positioning enemies for super moves/breaker abilities. Devil breakers do add a lot of variety for him and if you use them smartly will be very rewarding.

bru he was never unfinished, the game is more designed around him than dante

nero plays more like dmc 1 dante than dante 4 and on does in many respect

nero is infusing dmc 1 dante play style back in the game, dante is from dmc 3 on

You are insane comparing DMC 4 Nero to DMC 1 Dante. They're not even remotely similar at all.

And yes Nero in DMC 4 felt like a very unfinished character (because he was unfinished, along with everything else in DMC 4).
