General DMC5 Brainstorm

[DreadnoughtDT]

i love the enemies you guys come up with... its good we've started on Dante's heavenly foe's. I'm also working on putting in the story that Dante will still face demons in heaven as Angels keep them as slaves bound with holy chains and forced to do their bidding ie. Blades with chain all over their bodies and digging into their skin as well as strange looking muzzles! What you guys think of that?

Nice, but I'd like it better if those demons put aside their grudges (for now) and helped Dante fight off the Angels. It would be a cool innovation, considering Dante doesn't get any help. Also, I've been thinking, and I think it might work with a multiplayer mode. Here would be the playable characters...

Dante
Vergil
Trish
Lady
Nelo Angelo (He's a separate character, and you can choose to have his helmet on or off)
Elite Blade (Elite basically means "player-controlled with a bigger movelist)
Elite Frost
Elite Blaze
Elite Blitz
Elite Bianco Angelo
Elite Alto Angelo (If a second player plays as a Bianco Angelo, he'll get an overall stat boost. Faster, stronger, etc.)
Elite Assault (A faster, more attack oriented version of the Blade)
Elite Inis (I love those things!)
Elite Pride/Envy (You can change the costume)

Can someone come up with movelists for the "Elite" demons? I can't come up with any moves right now... Save for their signature moves, like the Blade and Assaults claw firing attack... Help would be appreciated!

Also, now you've got me intrigued. Dante's full power? I've already seen your DT design for this, and I'm wondering... Why not make it even less human? Like my spoiler-sig. Something animalistic, yet still seems to retain some sense of humanity. Or, when Dante goes this "UDT" (Ultimate Devil Trigger) he could go insane for a while, slicing up or attacking ANYTHING that even looks at him funny. It would be a nice boss fight for Nero.

 

[SuperDante]

Maybe there could be A boss you face in heaven, a large "Chained" demon who Dante will fight but not kill... Dante realises it is also a half demon, half human who has been experimented on by one of the angels. The demon would, after being unchained, turn back to its human form (a male warrior) and Dante will send the demon/human back to earth to fight the forces of hell after it swears its life to Dante since he saved him from the brutality of his angel captor (some of these angels are twisted). There is a new demon ally for ya that will then feature in Nero's story on earth

 

[SuperDante]

Also Dreadnaught, the invasion of earth is led by the "Sons of Chaos" - three very powerful Devil Knights - and maybe for Nero's last boss - they could go together to form Chaos Incarnate - whatta ya think?

 

[Devil Bane]

O yeah... imagine Dante kicking ass with two Angelic Spears that extend... oh and the more powerful attacks is when Dante connects the two spears into one bada$$ spear and goes NuTs. Na his true power is something noone would have ever expected (Dante included). And yes, these two are quite honorable and
Dante isn't too happy when he defeats them as they fade away in a brilliant flash of light and put their essence into the spears. Could be quite a sad scene. Just a quick side note about Dante's gameplay -

Trickster - When fully upgraded, the Dash movements will be as fast as RE5 Wesker - it would seem that Dante is teleporting all over the place.

Royal Guard - This style is now all about counterattacks and unbalancing your enemy. When perfectly timed, Dante will put his enemy off balance and vulnerable to attacks - which do double damage when enemies are "vulnerable"

Swordmaster - This will show off swordplay like never before. Dante will do incredible damage at breakneck speed. A truely breathtaking style.

Gunslinger - Utilise guns like never before. Special moves will now be accessable ie. Dante will spin like a tornado with E & I equipt and spray bullets on all sides of him

Devil Magic - Imagine moves like Summoned Swords (more like lucifer swords) and different, new magics never before seen in DMC.

^AWESOMENESS approval,enabled.Chtulu and the Elder Gods approve of this.

Though i regret being late to post it myself about the spears.Yeah imagine Dante going Yukimura[SB3] by combining the spears.WOOOT.And the whole extendable spear thing : Swordmaster combo that taps the elemental power of the spears and creat additional layers thus becoming longer.I wonder how this could affect his devil trigger.LOL if Angel Trigger.However i imagine Dante to be more of the like of Zero Lancer from Fate/Zero than Yukimura from Sengoku Basara series when wielding the lances.That is to say skillfully and visually beatiful but brutal,strong and quick.

Devil Magic eh....interesting.

Yeah something new besides the 4 normal styles. Its a way to totally max Dante out. With his DT I like him having one true DT like DMC2/DMC4 - this one would have an awesome design and as I have written/ would be flight capable. So Devil Arms/Angel Arms wouldn't affect the look of his DT. But after playing through the game once, you would have access to his "ultimate DT" but you'll need to wait for the story to understand what that is

 

[SuperDante]

And yes, the way he wields the spears/spear would look very beautiful, elegant almost as he moves with grace as apposed to devastating speed and power like with Rebellion but the spears are incredibly deadly!!!

 

[Devil Bane]

Nice ideas.How about the three Chaos knights being the devils/gods/beings praised as the Horsemen of the Apocalypse or somthing equally menacing and form the three forms of Chaos Incarnate?

About the Elite demons...i can only think of toned down,Ninja Gaiden like movesets for some Elites...But Vergil should have his old weapons AND something new...EYRIKA![EUREKA as it's known] :

Rafail[Raphael] and Mihail[Micheal] : Like Agni and Rudra they are fought together.They wield two spears,one empowered with humanity's negative feelings(Rafail[Raphael]) and one empowered by humanity's positive feelings(Mihail[Micheal]).They will look identical,as two beatifull,young lads,with long hair,but a strong sense of duty[even twisted].When they are both defeated they join in one angel with eight wings,a blue eye and gold eye wielding the two lances.It will fight,far more fiercely,like a DT of sorts with health regeneration among other augments.After defeating them,they unleash their true power and defeat Dante.
Buster : Dante grabs the complete being and tries to throw it.The angel falls for the feint and Dante grabs the spears and unleashes a flurry of strikes while going DT,that ends with him performing a Stinger like move in full power.Then he throws the lances back and returns to normal.

Second Fight : Like the first fight but you have Vergil fight alongside you,with proper AI and the ability to turn DT both at the same time.After they are defeated the sons of Sparda get the spears.They both have the dual spear style,but they can also wield one of the spears seperately[Dante has Areti,Vergil has Kakia] with no visual differences,just visually different moves.
Buster : Vergil Catches the spears and Dante falls from above and slices the hands of the being so that it lets go of the lances.Each brother take a lance and start unleashing stylish combos with their lances and respective swords at the same while going DT.They end it by perfoming a Stinger-like and Rapid Slash-like moves at the same time.They both do a pose while reverting back to normal saying together : "Jackpot!"

 

[SuperDante]

well see i was thinking this game would focus greatly on Dante and Nero in their seperate stories and the end would set up the next game which could be Vergil's story and him clawing his way out of the deepest recesses of hell... this story would show Dante becoming something never before seen power wise and maxing Dante out for all the hardcore Dante fans (ME) and Nero discovering his true power and origins. After this game, Dante simply couldn't go back to his little DMC shop as his destiny is something much MUCH greater and Nero is Sparda reincarnated... So the next game is about Vergil as in this game, truth be told he just couldn't hang YET since he has been out of the picture for so long, but in the next game he could come back, and his final showdown should be against Nero (since Dante is now in another league) and Vergil regaining Yamato.

 

[SuperDante]

Keeping this all in mind, Dante's DMC5 missions will be very full on and difficult. Nero's will be hard as well but Dante's will be ALL OUT CRAZINESS!!! lol

 

[SuperDante]

btw i like the horsemen of the apocalypse idea man... Nero reveals his "Sparda Power" and stops it in the end while Dante ascends heaven and does something no one has ever done before... Even his father couldn't....

I like this! Too bad about not knowing any good movelists for the Elite demons... Here's one for Blade.
/\/\/\/\
Combo: A quick, four hit combo, ending with a thrust.

O
Claw Fire: Fires a single claw.

R1+back+O
Rapid Fire: Fires four claws in rapid succession.

R1+forward+O
Digger Claw: The Blade digs underground and coats its claws in magma, then it fires them, causing fire damage.

R1+back+/\
Block: The Blade blocks. The shield gauge under the health gauge depletes every time the shield is hit. Grab a green orb to replenish both your shield and your health.

R1+forward+/\
Shield Throw: Name is self-explanatory.

 

[Devil Bane]

I see.[Vegil in the shop renamed everyone cries.Phone rings : "Yeah,Vergil here.Whatever it is it will cost you enough to make me full for a week and make my shop look a little bit more decent."Lol]I was thinking of Vergil's soul finding it's way back to the remains of the original body and after Vergil being ressurected,he goes at the shop grabs Beowulf,Alastor and Agni and Rudra and invades heaven to help his brother after a showdown with Nero.When he appears in front of Dante he says : "I'm taking this back[Beowulf] and these are rental."

Nice moves man... you could also use these character in Bloody Palace... I think that would be kool!

 

[SuperDante]

actually I think I like the idea of Dante being trapped in heaven after the Generals death... think of it like Matrix Revolutions... you don't know if Dante (who is lying immobile on the ground at the end of DMC5) is alive or not and this sets up Vergils tale of redemption and saving his brother. HELL YEAH!

 

[Devil Bane]

^Awesomely Heavenly Hellishly wiked idea.I like.C"MON CAPCOM<USE THE IDEAS OF FANS FOR ONCE.

 

[DreadnoughtDT]

Thanks! I wish I had bursts of intuitiveness like that when I'm at school...

 

[Devil Bane]

More tommorow.Good-Bye guys.

 

[DreadnoughtDT]

Alright. I'm probably gonna hit the hay too. This lizard needs his rest...

General Plot Idea

Just letting you guys know that this is the draft idea of my story and
doesn't go into any crazy details... And everything will make more sense
once I complete both Dante's AND Neo's story so some scenes might be a little
incomplete, it's just you need to see both sides...

The game would start with a character selection - Nero or Dante.
This is an outline of the story if you choose Dante. The game starts
with Trish lazing around the DMC shop by herself, eating pizza and
reading magazines. In a reference to DMC1, she is attacked by a
mysterious, beautiful woman who matches Trish blow for blow. Trish
would have some pretty funny lines about how she should just wait
for Dante to return as she is obviously mad that he didn't call her
back XD. Dante returns (insert hilarious Dante talk here about two babes
fighting in his shop ) She attacks Dante but is no match for the
Legendary Devil Hunter. She then warns Dante of the coming demon invasion,
set in motion by the "Sons of Chaos," who are three very powerful
demon knights. She leaves. Lady enters DMC and tells Dante & Trish of
a sudden increase in demon activity. Trish and Lady agree to leave and
check out some of Lady's leads while Dante goes off by himself. Your first
mission is going through the city, fighting a large amount of demons
blah blah blah and fighting a boss at the end of the first level.
After the fight, the demon tells Dante that he has no idea what is headed
his way and that he won't know what hit him... just like his mother, Eva.
We all know how mention of his dead mother fires Dante up so this demon is
then toasted. That's the first level... I picture a dark flashback when
the demon mentions Eva, you could quickly see a young Dante's horrified
face and hear Eva screaming and Dante snaps out of it, roasting the demon.

There would then be a scene in which you see the woman from the opener
entering a very bright, holy place and talking to an unseen figure about
how she has met the last remaining son of Sparda and Eva. He tells her, in
a very softspoken voice, to set their plan in motion...

 

[SuperDante]

Trish & Lady catch up with Dante and tell him of an apparent Hellgate that
has opened in the mountains not too far from the city. They will clear
out the city while Dante destroys the Hellgate. You make your way through
the mountains, facing many enemies and the environment gets more twisted
and hellish as you get closer to the gate. You eventually get to the gate. It is in the middle of a dark, hellish collaseum. A few lesser demons would jump out but Dante kills them like nothing. However more and more demons come out and you are put in the middle of a battle royal against endless demons that lasts about three minutes. Think Neo vs the Smiths in Matrix Reloaded At the end, you will see a cutscene in which Dante is showing off some INSANE skills and power, effortlessly slicing through the demons. Then, out of nowhere, another figure enters and starts killing the demons as well. Dante watches with amusement. After all the demons are killed, it is revealed that the other man is...Nero! That's the second mission over...

The two half demons share a funny reunion. Dante baits the young hothead and Nero bites back in typical fashion but in a much more relaxed way than usual (DMC4). Dante lets Nero do the honor and tells him to destroy the hellgate with Yamato. When he tries to do so, however, the hellgate dissapears right before Yamato connects; it was a false hellgate. Suprised by this, Dante decides they should split up, sweep the area and meet back up at DMC. You will go through another mission back towards the city, again fighting demons and what not, but some of these demons will be strange variations of normal once ie. Blades with their bodies covered with shiny chains that dig into their skin and strange looking muzzles!?! You will end up facing a man who sprouts angelic wings and wields a holy sword... this is Dante's first fight with an angel! Dante will obviously mouth off to the angel, insulting him like he does everyone, but he actually isn't too keen to fight him. After the angel makes his intentions clear, Dante sais "Oh the hell with it," and pulls out Rebellion. The two engage in a vicious battle in which the angel will actually summon lesser demons, bound with holy chains, to attack. After Dante defeats him, he questions the angel of his intentions and why he is keeping demons as company (his slaves)? The angel insults Dante and cryptically talks about Dante being a disgusting hybrid born from an unholy union (What the?!?) Dante is quite taken aback by this but trades insults with the angel before he dissapears in a brilliant flash of light. That's the third mission in the bag.
