Why using other characters...

[Toasty]

... If Vergil is easily the best character in the game? Literally to beat a boss with him require a single minute, while Dante is under performing (at least the dmc4 Dante can do huge amounts of damage compared to his brother. Vergil has a better crowd control). Dante deserves a buff in my opinion (same for Nero)

(and no, the hat doesn't count)

Because Dante is more fun to play.

Vergil only exists to make you feel like a god while Dante forces you to play good to feel like a god.

Good point. The thing that I don't like about Dante is micromanaging his styles to being remotely effective at high difficulties

This is also harder to explain, but DMC really succeeds in making you feel like a character you're playing.


Even though V is least fun to play as, I do enjoy him quite a bit because I feel like some scheming ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that trashtalks and gets away with everything because he has 3 bodyguards. It feels good to throw cheeky taunts and not suffer the consequences.

That's literally the thing I love about Dante most. I love the styles and yeah they aren't easy to fit into your combos but that is where muscle memory takes over.

Vergil isn't easy if you want to style though... Especially when you have to control 2 characters (you and the doppelganger) at the same time. Man practicing those combos really hurts my fingers and I hate it lmao!

True and in fact there's this brain dead combo that destroys everything aka the heavy rain blades + SDT dragon breaker chain. I never seen anything this broken before LMAO!

I think Vergil is definitely easier to play than Dante, and more powerful of course, but this reductive. To me it just means that you have to try harder in some ways to look stylish with him. More tech needs to be incorporated for a truly impressive Vergil combo, whereas a Dante combo that looks simpler can still be comparable due to the execution required.

Doppelganger isn't even really needed for decent style points with Vergil, in fact, I prefer converting the DT gauge into SDT whenever I can, in most circumstances, Judgement Cut End, Hell on Earth or Deep Stinger (this one not so much) are an immediate SSS.

Almost as if different characters offer different playstyles and have different strenghts and weaknesses.

I found a reason to use other characters, That is having fun Parrying the heck out of Cavaliere Angelo. While I am having fun Parrying him with Vergil, Vergil is too op so the fun wasn't long but other characters might take a while especially on DMD.

It's not just about how efficient a character is based only on how they can kill a boss or enemy faster, but rather how fun it is to play as them which varies through preference.

Vergil is Very Powerful.
But the high discipline of his fighting style generates such a concentrated aura of Power and Motivation that sooner or later you start to choke.

Dante feels like a breath of fresh air, a wind of freedom and a freestyle mountain stream.
Dealing huge damage to enemies at the same time.

Nero is an insanely fiery guy who draws his Power directly from your arms.
And you can sacrifice your arms and ... his arms to destroy all enemies as quickly and Stylishly as possible.

And V ...
V is good if you like to slide on enemy attacks, like on ice, read poetry, dance against the background of fireworks and punish every enemy stunned by such impudence with a cane)
