Why does Vergil suck so bad?

[The Grand Mac]

No, really. Everyone else has better means of getting around in combat, as well as controlling enemy behavior or avoiding them entirely with their own movement. Vergil is stiff in comparison. No Air Hike, can't Trick away outside of SDT (massive L to whoever thought that should be the standard as of 4), just pressing circle is inconsistent since there's a delay between his Summoned Sword (again, L to it being that instead of just Trick) and his teleport.

1) Vergil can Trick Up after a jump.
2) Learn how to Trick down and it works in human mode.
3) Always use Summoned Swords/Mirage Blades so you can always Air Trick
4) If you're not JC spamming you're playing Vergil wrong

Literally everyone agrees that Vergil is by far the most OP character in this game by a huge margin and then there is this clown who says he sucks LOL.

wtf are you even talking about

vergil has always been literally a super character in a normal character package, and this is easily his most OP iteration in the whole series

the only thing possibly more effed and broken was Lady

Dante's better in every way that matters, and every way that doesn't.

As a matter of fact, V is the best character in the game and easily beats the other 3 solo.
Dante is a boring character for little kids, all he does is change styles and buttonmash.

Nero is brainless guy who just swings his sword around because he's salty for being useless.

V on the other hand is only for intellectual players, proven by the fact that he reads books. And only smart people read books, which means V is smart. And obviously, only dumb people won't recognize his excellent mechanics and insane requirement of skill usage, because they're dumb. Only true players are able to achieve SSS rank with a single press of L1 button.

Remember who could do that too, but with different input? Lady in DMC 4. She's the only character who can hold a button, release it and achieve SSS rank. Unlike cringe Nephilims, Lady is an actual person representing all people of the world, because other characters are demons. And what are people, besides humans? I am only human after all.

Yeah, as long as you don't count instantly teleport to any enemy at any time with no lag, doesn't have a massive passive damage buff, can't doppelganger, doesn't have free SDT all the time, can't freely guard break super armor, and doesn't have free room nuke.

Unlock his full moveset and then press back+forward + trick button (circle).

This literally makes him trick backwards. And he has i-frames while doing it. So in theory you can infinitely trick away from incoming damage.
