Devil Arms, Angel Arms & Firearms

[MigsRZXAStylish]

This is all great, Ronin. Same to those who replied with great ideas!

Now here's mine:

Axe:
Angel Trigger mode: Tomahawk
Devil Trigger mode: like the Arbiter but with more moves

 

[TWOxACROSS]

I thought that since Dante uses rebellion. True in the game Dante switches weapons, angel & demon and all.

But what happens if Dante's weapon is just a sword and when he transforms in devil trigger his weapon changes into Arbiter and when he transforms in angel trigger his weapon changes to Osiris?

Then the Triggers would be really dumb, to be quite honest. The Trigger is supposed to be a power amp, and in DmC's case, also an enemy stopper.

Appending different weapons to the triggers might sound like a cool idea, but then that completely ruins the weapon hot-swapping DMC has become known for, and it makes the different Triggers way to different than normal play to be properly effective.

The way it works now with Angel and Demon modes for weapon-switching is essentially just a smaller exertion of Dante's will on the sword anyway.

Essentially, you want it to be one step further, and it ends up ruining things a bit too much.

Shinguards:

They call those "greaves."

Dante will have normal weapons: A sword, gauntlets & shinguards, staff, nunchucks, dual swords/daggers, boomerangs & an instrument. Rebellion won't be the only shape-shifting weapon.

Gauntlets & Shinguards: They look like ordinary gauntlets & shinguards for hand-to-hand combat. Bringing back the Kick 13.
But when they change, they turn into lethal weapons and Dante' s martial arts are enhanced.
Devil Weapon Mode: Like Ifrit & Gilgamesh.
Angel Weapon Mode: Like Beowulf.

I get what you're saying, but it would take a whole overhaul of the combat system they've begun to build. Admittedly not a big feat for NT but I like the way the system works. I could, however, see them giving Dante different powers depending on if he went into Angel/Devil trigger.

Can't the devil & angel arms provide different colors besides red & blue?

Devil Arms: Red, Orange, Violet, Black
Angel Arms: Blue, Yellow, Green, White

 

[TWOxACROSS]

What would the point of that be...? The colors are representative of their aspect, they aren't tryin' to paint with all the colors of the wind.

 

[Teal]

Martial Arts (Gauntlets & Shinguards)
Devil Trigger Mode: Wrestling, Judo, Jujutsu & Vale Tudo
Angel Trigger Mode: Karate, Kung Fu, Ninjutsu & Capoeira

I think you've done a good job making this, but I seriously gotta tell you; Capoeira is not Dante-ish. I think that as far as fighting moves go, Krav Maga mixed with a little bit of Kickbox would be good. They would also in a way tell Dante's stories. He was raised in the streets and had to learn to fight by himself. He didn't have a mentor, nor could he afford an expensive fighting expert to teach him (or I guess he just didn't want to).

 

[Tiran]

This is all great, Ronin. Same to those who replied with great ideas!

Now here's mine:

Axe:
Angel Trigger mode: Tomahawk
Devil Trigger mode: like the Arbiter but with more moves

Or how about:

Angel trigger mode it splits into two half axes duel wielded. Quicker, but short ranged.

Human: Typical Arbiter

Demon: Double edge battle axe uses slow winding charged attacks with big aoe aftershocks. Leaves you wide opened and can't be canceled during release until full animation is done.

I thought perhaps provide the weapons with some elements with each color. Like in DMC3's weapons Dante uses, they have elemental properties, don't they?

Demon/Hell:
Red - Fire
Orange - Earth
Violet - Thunder
Black - Dark

Angel/Heaven:
Blue - Ice
Green - Water
Yellow - Wind
White - Light

Dante's Rebellion & Vergil's Yamato swords are just their main nephilim magic blade weaponry.

 

[Ronin]

From what we've seen of the new Dante's moves even Vergil's...

Dante's sword stinger is back along with the million now trillion stab.

Of course there is a...
- Drive
- Aerial Rave
&
- Helm Breaker

The prop shredder returned on Osiris.

But something is missing in Dante. The air raid where he flies.

 

[ef9dante_oSsshea]

he is also missing

wall run
curb stomp
wild ride
pole swing
gun stinger
dance macabre
vortex
air raid
taunting

and plenty more moves and skills and style moves

 

[Ronin]

For the gauntlets & greaves. They need to bring those back and Eryx is too much of punches. Give it a good Gilgamesh/Ifrit style.

Wonder if they'll also bring back Cerberus, Agni & Rudra, Nevan & Lucifer.

 

[ef9dante_oSsshea]

that would be copying DMC3 dude i am sure if we get a new DmC they will want a different approach

 

[Ronin]

At least just the gauntlets & grieves to return.

 

[ef9dante_oSsshea]

they would have to be different gauntlets and grieves to make em original but ya,they could make a comeback if they make a sequel
