What I'm not a fan of is how Rebellion and Sparda have such a watered down moveset and that trying to equip them after getting DSD gives you way less options.
Rebellion and Sparda have less moves, sure, but they do still have their place and their own advantages over DSD.
For starters, people coming from DMC4 can keep their Dante muscle memory (I've adapted to both so I'm whatever).
But more importantly, those swords can access Prop with a single button press (with DSD it's part of a pause combo after 2 hits), and that move is extremely useful to launch resistant enemies like say, Riot or the lizards with armor.
Their Round Trip seems to have more staggering power than DSD's.
And Sparda has the widest range of the bunch.
Also, don't care for DSD's Swordmaster moves being changed to summoned swords which are pretty useless. :grumpy:
Oh boy, such blasphemy. XD
Those swords are all EXCEPT useless. The simpler benefit you get is double damage on all your moves cause you can press Y and B simultaneously. But aside from that, because it's those swords doing the Round Trip rather than DSD itself, you can still use DSD's moves while keeping damaging the enemy with RT, or just leave him staggered to focus someone else.
Also, you can juggle demons with them and you get such awesome setups because of that, similarly to how Nero can set enemies up with Color Up as he's descending with, say, Split or something.
