Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition

Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition

To all the DMC3 experts... a question.
Would you say any of the weapons in the game are useless when compared to others? Or would you say EVERY weapon has at least one thing that can make it better than others?

I ask this because I recently read a guide that discussed how the Shotgun was completely overshadowed by Artimis (not that I agree, I mean, you can't walk while shooting the Artimis) and I wanted others views on the matter of if any weapon is useless compared to another.

Cerberus is most useless weapon in the game. ♥♥♥♥ Swing, piece of ♥♥♥♥♥♥ damage.
Yet again you show your lack of experience with this game. Cerberus is the best aerial weapon together with A&R thanks to Swing being an amazing move when JC'ed. Revolver is a fantastic move for parrying attacks.
you can't spam DTE since it costs DT Bars
Not a problem since building up DT is pretty easy as long as you regularly taunt.
And we weren't talking based on a certain difficulty
Comparing weapons and styles on any mode other than DMD is pointless since enemies die ridiculously fast (ie a single combo) on all difficulties unless they DT. Not to mention the differences in aggression on the difficulties make slow uncancellable moves less safe.
That's cheating
In that case every single type of cancel is cheating.
How the RG supposed to do damage? Are you talking about reaching level 3 on absorbing damage then damage with it to the enemy?
Yes. The DPS is just insane (not to mention instant SSS style) and on top of that you can still deal damage with other weapons when you aren't just guarding/releasing. There's a reason why RG is considered a broken style once mastered.
Killer Bee
Beowulf aerial attack. Leviathans organs have gigantic collisions making jump cancelling easy even for people who never did a JC in their life.
Doesn't launch? What does launch supposed to be?
Launch is a property of a move that launches enemies in a specific direction (either horizontally or vertically).

Nope. I have played this game enough to experience most of the things thus I have enough experiences with Cerberus. Nope. Yet again you actually show your lack of experience with this game. Nevan is the best aerial weapon together with E&I. Thanks to swordmaster attack being an amazing move when JC'ed. What does Revolver do?[/quote]
Not a problem since building up DT is pretty easy as long as you regularly taunt.
Well the problem is you have to keep attacking with the weapons until you fill up the DT bars. And fill the whole bars will require some decent amount of time. And spamming DTE is for noobs. Not a stylish.
Comparing weapons and styles on any mode other than DMD is pointless since enemies die ridiculously fast (ie a single combo) on all difficulties unless they DT. Not to mention the differences in aggression on the difficulties make slow uncancellable moves less safe.
Nope it isn't. That doesn't change the fact that with some weapons you can still kill them faster than others. And warping dudes are a bit hard to kill even on Norrmal mode. Like it takes a bit longer than the weakest ones. And it's not ridiculously fast, it is how it supposed to be. It takes 3 or sometimes even 5 times to hit to kill them. You can kill enemies by 2 hits in Dark Souls series and even by 1 hit some of them. You cannot kill them with a single combo in Very Hard mode. It's pretty take time to kill them there. Well that's not the case. lol.
In that case every single type of cancel is cheating.
Nope. JC is just the mechanic but cancelling while shooting is a total cheat.
Yes. The DPS is just insane (not to mention instant SSS style) and on top of that you can still deal damage with other weapons when you aren't just guarding/releasing. There's a reason why RG is considered a broken style once mastered.
Yeah it's broken I agree. But it ain't has the highest DPS since max it to third will take some time. But I don't know maybe it would be easier on DMD mode since the damage is insanely increased there.

Yeah I was doing that but not enough when it heals the heart stupid amount of time.

Only if you're using swordmaster. The point is that Cerberus offers you a fantastic aerial attack no matter what style you use.
What does Revolver do?
Great move for guaranteed parries.
will require some decent amount of time
Not at all as long as you taunt.
spamming DTE is for noobs
Something tells me you never even tried DMD. DTE is a necessity against mobs.
It takes 3 or sometimes even 5 times to hit to kill them
That's still absurdly fast.
JC is just the mechanic
I'm talking about every type of cancelling in DMC3. ie switch cancelling, guard cancelling, jump cancelling, etc. Also JC is not a mechanic, enemy step is.
since max it to third will take some time
Absolutely not. If you're playing on the high difficulties enemies will be attacking you constantly, offering you constant opportunities for just guards. Also it only takes about 3-4 just guards. On top of that you can attack with other weapons when you aren't guarding, thus further increasing your DPS which Kalina Ann spam does not allow.
You mean push?
A push has almost no velocity and only minimal movement distance in a direction like the effect from DTE (DTE pushes enemies away from you). A launch implies that the enemy is moving with high velocity and high movement distance.

Yes as I said but it's still best way. If you do better DPS/functionality it's best. You can do the same with also Beowulf imo, dunno why Cerberus is that good aerial weapon you think. lol. Also I couldn't even find a video relevant with Cerberus JC.

Something tells me you can't play DMD without DTE mod. No pro plays with DTE in DMD. I tried DMD as well and it ISN'T necessity against mobs. lol.
That's still absurdly fast.
Nope. Not "absurdly" fast. It's normal. Normally Dante should be able to kill them in a slice. But since it's a game it takes some time. And compared to souls series it's not that fast actually.
I'm talking about every type of cancelling in DMC3. ie switch cancelling, guard cancelling, jump cancelling, etc. Also JC is not a mechanic, enemy step is.
Doesn't change that JC is a mechanic while Guard cancelling isn't. It is. Yes enemy step is a mechanic. You also use enemies to jump from to finish a secret mission. So it's supposed to jump on them and you can use this "enemy step" as attack them as well.
Absolutely not. If you're playing on the high difficulties enemies will be attacking you constantly, offering you constant opportunities for just guards. Also it only takes about 3-4 just guards. On top of that you can attack with other weapons when you aren't guarding, thus further increasing your DPS which Kalina Ann spam does not allow.
It still takes time, not an instant action. lol. Yeah which means you will miss 4 attacks! That even makes it longer for RG's DPS lol. Thus? Which thus are you talking about?

A push has almost no velocity and only minimal movement distance in a direction like the effect from DTE (DTE pushes enemies away from you). A launch implies that the enemy is moving with high velocity and high movement distance. [/quote]
Push is same as launch it has nothing to do with minimal movement distance nor velocity. DTE instantly kills them let alone saying it pushes them away from you. And if you use it in the less powerful phase it won't harm them enough and they will ignore it's effect as they do when you instantly trigger DT I think but I'm not sure. Well it's still pushing.

I've got two short clips https://imgur.com/a/5pgRX3B

You can parry certain attacks with your own attacks (eg all of A&R's and some of Vergil's basic attacks can be parried). Nailing it, stuns the enemy.
No pro plays with DTE in DMD
Define "pro". And no, combo vids do not count since they focus on looking good, not efficiency.
And compared to souls series it's not that fast actually
Stop comparing it to souls for ♥♥♥♥♥ sake. The games have absoluely nothing in common.
Yes enemy step is a mechanic. You also use enemies to jump from to finish a secret mission. So it's supposed to jump on them and you can use this "enemy step" as attack them as well
According to your argument guard cancels are still legit since they work based on using guard which is a mechanic as well.
you will miss 4 attacks
A single just release more than makes up for four normal attacks.
DTE instantly kills them
Not if they DT or if you don't use the full charge. Also IIRC the push distance actually differs based on the DTE charge. While it may not be useful for normal gameplay it can be used for combo vids for positioning enemies.
It's important to make this distinction due to how it affects the enemy.

I saw people that do even more JC with Beowulf. You just did 3 at max there.

How? Do you have an example video on that?

Why can't you just figure it out yourself? Yes, combo vids count, doesn't matter what they focus on, that doesn't change the fact that playing with DTE is not a pro thing and no pro plays with DTE. lol. Don't try to wordplay into this. Yeah, pros focus on looking good and still kick asses of mobs even while they DT out on DMD mod. And yes, they don't focus on efficiency because they are pro, they seek for style not efficiency and it is efficiency when you do combo.
Stop comparing it to souls for ♥♥♥♥♥ sake. The games have absoluely nothing in common.
Why would I stop comparing it to souls for ♥♥♥♥♥ sake? 3 attacks is not absurdly fast, it's fact. lmao. They don't have to be ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ in common to compare them on killing enemies speed.
According to your argument guard cancels are still legit since they work based on using guard which is a mechanic as well.
Nope. Guard cancelling is just a cheat. You haven't supposed to cancel shoot animation with anything. And yet you cancel the animation to shoot even faster. It's a cheat. You can use JC to attack enemies which then you are using a mechanic to damage them. It's not cheating enemy step is there to be used on certain statements like keep attacking aerial, keep you at aerial. Nope guard cancels are not legit since you abusing the mechanic to damage enemies on the inrelevant status. If you shoot them then use RG to defend yourself just because they were attacking you then shoot again, it's not cheating but using it while you need no guard yourself is cheating. Basically it's abusing the mechanic.
A single just release more than makes up for four normal attacks.
Then go play on full Royalguard as being no stylish at all. lol.
Not if they DT or if you don't use the full charge. Also IIRC the push distance actually differs based on the DTE charge. While it may not be useful for normal gameplay it can be used for combo vids for positioning enemies.

It still does ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of damage doesn't matter if it instantly kills them or not. lol. Why would you even use the DTE if you are not gonna use it in full charge? lol. Push distance? There is not distance on push. It's not DMC's term, it's just a word basically means same as launch. You were saying "And no, combo vids do not count since they focus on looking good, not efficiency." lol.

How? Do you have an example video on that?
Nah but you can easily try it yourself. Fight against A&R with Cerberus and when they begin their windup for a sword attack perform Revolver. After ~2-3 parries they drop their swords and enter a stunned state for a couple seconds.
It's harder to do against Vergil but sometimes you can get a lucky parry and he becomes vulnerable.
Yes, combo vids count
No they don't, since combo vids don't focus on efficiency and we're discussing efficiency. Hell, most of them don't even give a damn about the style meter (dude in second clip of my previous post barely stays on C rank).
You haven't supposed to cancel shoot animation with anything. And yet you cancel the animation to shoot even faster. It's a cheat
That's exactly the same ♥♥♥♥ you do with JC you moron. You use a mechanic to cancel the animation of an attack to increase the attack frequency/remove recovery
Then go play on full Royalguard as being no stylish at all
Do you have memory loss problems ? As I already have mentioned, the point is that RG has massive burst DPS while still alowing you to deal damage with other methods when you aren't guarding. That's why it's the best style for efficiency (eg SS mission rank).
And hell RG only can look stylish as hell on Vergil 3.
Why would you even use the DTE if you are not gonna use it in full charge
Like I said, advanced tool for positioning enemies.
It's not DMC's term
JC ain't either. So what ?
You were saying "And no, combo vids do not count since they focus on looking good, not efficiency." lol.
That's why I also mentioned that this DTE property probably won't be useful on regular playthroughs.

Seriously stop arguing about things you don't know.

I don't want to try it.
No they don't, since combo vids don't focus on efficiency and we're discussing efficiency. Hell, most of them don't even give a damn about the style meter (dude in second clip of my previous post barely stays on C rank).
Yes they do, since they play in the stylish way and they kick asses. That doesn't matter what they focus on and what we're discussing. It's simple tactic to distort discussion and pretend like you were right. That's not the case. What matters is outcome not what they are focusing on, because that doesn't change the outcome. And yes when you do combo it's efficient, that is what they do which means you can play without DTE and it's still efficient, which also means DTE is not necessity. Also playing only with DTE is for noobs. Fact. They don't have to do but they play stylishly. And most pros play like that. You just come up with child's tactics by distorting discussion.

It's like(+ is me - is you)

+Lieing is for weak people.
-It's necessity on that status because it's so hard.
+I've seen pros could survive without even lieing by trying to get enemy's trust.(It's just an example)
-Pros don't count since they focus on showing instead of efficiency???

Do you realize that both outcome is just what I say? Like telling lies is for weak people and you can survive without lieing on that extreme status which implies only noobs use DTE(it's you at this case since you heavily defend it and pretend like you can't beat the game without DTE) and you can beat the game without DTE but combos. And you come up with that ♥♥♥♥ "Ot doosn't coont bocooso pros only sonco thoy focos on lookong good." Wtf with this ♥♥♥♥? And no we were talking about efficiency ON WEAPONS not efficiency on everything since it's the thread's main focus. You came up with this "By the time you reach DMD your main damage tool will be DTE." Also Cerberus' aerial potential won't matter then which invalidates your own argument if we shouldn't talk about anything else but DMD.

I thought it was you? lol.
That's exactly the same ♥♥♥♥ you do with JC you moron. You use a mechanic to cancel the animation of an attack to increase the attack frequency/remove recovery
That has nothing to do with JC you ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ brainless moron. JC is a mechanic and you use it while doing damage to monsters while you get benefit from enemy step. You basically use mechanic in a different way while damaging, it's useful, it works as you still use the enemy step. But you don't get profit from Royalguard as it supposed to be when you cancel the animation. You use a mechanic to cancel the animation instead of using it to defend yourself which is abusing a mechanic you ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ scrub. It is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hilarious you came up with this even while I gave a respond above to wtf you just said. Stop talking about something that you can't even understand.
Do you have memory loss problems ? As I already have mentioned, the point is that RG has massive burst DPS while still alowing you to deal damage with other methods when you aren't guarding. That's why it's the best style for efficiency (eg SS mission rank).

Nope. I just don't give a ♥♥♥♥ about some things. You were saying that RG has most DPS then when I said you will miss 4 attacks you said it still does more than 4 regular attacks. With this way then you will miss some attacks to fill the RG bars. Simple. Yeah, only.
Like I said, advanced tool for positioning enemies.
I missed that part. I thought you meant something else.
JC ain't either. So what ?
Since it's not DMC term it doesn't have certain distance. Simple.
That's why I also mentioned that this DTE property probably won't be useful on regular playthroughs.

Seriously stop arguing about things you don't know.
Why not? It's best, it one shots.

It's DMC3, there is nothing I don't know you can tell. Seriously stop arguing about things you can't even understand.

Anyway I am gonna unsubscribe from this ♥♥♥♥. You are not worthy as my opponent.
Since the pissing contest is over:

The only thing that completely falls short is Artemis. That gun is absolutely useless outside of Gunslinger and mods. The only really useful move is Multi-Lock and that's style only (except with mods) and that's it. Normal Shot with Artemis is just some strange, stupid, cruel joke.

https://gfycat.com/creativeanyafricanbushviper

At least with any other gun outside of Gunslinger, you can say, "Well, at least it has damage/knockback use,". If somehow, for whatever reason, Dante had summoned swords or just about any other way to 'attack' (or deal damage) during another animation, there would be no point to ever use Artemis ever, since the main value (Multi-Lock) is in keeping an enemy suspended while performing another animation.

Just my 2 cents on the sandbox from way too much time in it. Artemis is the gun I'm currently sort of tooling with now but I'm using it only for one thing and one thing only and after that it's going back on the shelf until another idea uses it.
