Hey man, do you know if Vergil's gameplay animations in DMC4SE were mocapped or manually animated? Cause I've seen they're amazingly fluid, and also, the way the movements are executed, like the sheathing animations, remind me A LOT of how Dan Southworth handles a katana. I recognize his "touch" there.
I tried asking him directly on Facebook but he didn't reply. Do you have any info about it?
