If Vergil used Yamato in the ending I have a feeling he would have won because the Force Edge is just a normal sword compared to Yamato or Rebellion.
Am I the only one who thought of this?

Actually it would have been a draw as it was a draw in there second fight and he used it in that, they were completely even when lady interrupted the fight.Plus force edge is still a devil arm so it isn't without power.However dante's will and his embrace of humanity is why he won.
As to your title ha no it has been brought up here many many times before

I wouldn't say Force Edge was just a regular sword. Also, from the brief moment he wielded Rebellion against Arkham, I think it's safe to say Vergil was still quite skilled in the use of a broadsword.

As @ef9 o shea has said already, the Force Edge is still a powerful sword. Remember that it does transform into the Sparda sword.

Exactly in fact the force edge is probably as powerful as rebellion outside of rebellion being able to be imbued with demonic energy for drive and round trip etc

Vergil could do a Round Trip and apparently he'll also be able to use Drive in DMC4:SE so I'd say Force Edge matches Rebellion in terms of power.

Not exactly, during cut-scenes Yamato was at his side, not in his hand

Yeah, but in order to DT, he still needs to hold Yamato.

What? Not really, the ability to DT does not depend on holding any weapon, it's an independent ability.

Yeah, Dante didn't have Rebellion on his person when he first devil triggered.

Then why not just use Force Edge alone?

Because dante would have a massive advantage in broadsword combat only

I thought people said Vergil was more disciplined when it came to swords.
Besides, that didn't stop him from using Force Edge only in the last two cutscenes.

More disciplined in general and with yamato but dante is using a broadsword the length of
time vergil is using yamato, so dante is more skilled with that sword plus dante can use yamato just like vergil can rebellion but not with the same skill or refinement , there not as good as eqch other when there weapons are swapped

Vergil used the Yamato with both hands in the cutscenes and with at least one move in DMC4.
There are only so many ways you can swing a sword (any sword) with two hands.
So, that means that Vergil now uses Yamato like a broadsword (both hands) in both cutscenes and gameplay.
How is he not as skilled as Dante with a broadsword?

If you used a katana for ten plus years and then swapped to a broadsword would you be equally as skilled as a broadsword user of the same length of time? No you wouldn't it is that simple.If you believe that basis then dante shpuld never have been less skilled than vergil in swordsmanship due to vergil being so gifted with yamato

.....Just because he can use it two-handed, doesn't mean he uses it like a broadsword. You wouldn't wield them the same way, it's two different styles. One sword it built more for raw strength, the other is more suited to speed and slashes
