Ok so, DmC2 ideas!
(yes i'm aware many on this subreddit voice their thoughts that DmC is not part of the series, but it is with the WHOLE series in general and Itsuno classes it in anyway so who am I to disagree with god, anyway, here are some ideas).
-With the demons exposed and no longer able to hide and manipulate mankind, the 'fight the system' theme can be shaved off for classic ass kicking and story.
-Dante is more matured and a bit older, maybe with some facial hair, as he's been busy with Kat in helping mankind set up their resistance to not cow to demonkind. He can still be his asshole self to demons tho.
-Taunting can return, like in previous game can be based on rank, also for an added twist is there can be brutal taunting. Said taunts take a bit longer but would cause immense damage to demons & net style too. though time it wrong and get hit, you take a larger chunk of damage and your style just falls flat down to 0. (Example of this would be Dante breaking out a bottle of alcohol and starts chugging it down as a demon rushes in, another tap of the taunt button has him spray the drink out which is now flames thanks to some angel energy as the demon is set on fire and writhing in pain as he then chucks the bottle and knocks it on its ass, you have to time this so Dante doesn't get smacked tho).
-Angel and Devil styles, now i know taking out the classic styles for angel and demon mode was a mixed bag for some, but lets improve on that from DmC. Angel mode would give you trickster style movement and more parkour (think a bit like MGR's ninja run but you can also parkour on demons too). Demon mode would let you have a bit of a 'built' in royalguard where you can take a stance and demons can wail on you as you absord hits and redirect the energy. (Example is if you do said royalguard input to counter, you grab the demon about to hit you and pass the energy to them, making them blow up and die, or you can push all that energy out into a 360 shockwave to get everyone off of you).
-He's already got Swordmaster and Gunslinger movesets baked in, so lets add some more, even more mix-ups with weapon switches and some tech moves too (just frames, button mashing for crazy combos, max-acts and more)
-Since this version of Rebellion morphs into the weapons and Dante can't really sell them, lets merge the previous to still keep them around and leave room for more goodies. take Eryx and Aquila and together they become Hercules, red hot demon gauntlets (slimmed down) with angel blades that can extend from the knuckles (wolverine style), along the forearms (like batman) or just a long blade from the arm (like baraka). the improved weapon would give Dante a better fist style (martial arts, Boxing or UFC) and the blades allow him to slice and dice with a mode switch (like how Balrog switches from hands to feet).
- Devil, Angel and Nephilim Trigger; now hear me out on this one, i'm ok with DmC's take on Devil Trigger, though i was happy they fixed it so you no longer throw enemies in the air when you tap into it. To go more on these, let's give his DT spectral devil wings and horns that emerge form his head with his hands and feet flaming. Angel Trigger would have spectral angel wings and halo with the same effect on his limbs. To make them unique, DT still buffs your attack and heals over time but makes you slower, AT will heal you faster and gives you much more agility but your attcks don't hit as hard but you can go ham and still flinch enemies. AT lets you fly/glide with your agility, while DT makes you a unstoppable force and can bull rush through enemies and knock them back (tackle and throw a Tyrant at a group for example).
To add, Nephilim Trigger will be the real star here, and it'll function like SDT from 5, giving you immense power, speed and chaotic moves to boot, also you look like a four winged angel/demon hybrid that radiates raw power. of course it'll be the same way as Sin mode with filling the bar with your DT/AT bar (they share the same bar).
Grapples; update these with adding buster/ finishing blows (like Nero and V when they finish off demons in 5). Angel Pull has Dante go to them and impale them on Rebellion, stab away and yank out while Demon Pull has him use his hands to beat the **** out of the demon/angel recipient.
Bring in the Angels and add another group to fight as they see Dante as a blight upon their kind, though like Phineas, not all angels and demons must be against Dante.
-Show what Vergil has planned and flesh out their rivalry and relationship more, Dante not wanting to kill his flesh and blood while Vergil ants Dante out of the picture so he can reign king with his army.
Post your ideas or suggestions if you'd like, and please no hate and filling the comments with disdain.
