Like a Boss - MELEE!

[Foxtrot94]

Feeling cold after the last poll? Then time to warm up your muscles, as we're now going to vote for the best boss that uses melee weapons to fight! Note that punches and claws are included as "melee weapons".

Same rules as the other threads. 24 hours to vote.

Let's see our contenders!

- Nelo Angelo (DMC1)

- Bolverk (DMC2)

- Secretary (DMC2)

- Hell Vanguard (DMC3)

- Vergil the Dark Slayer (DMC3)

Taking into account only the second fight, where he uses Beowulf.

- Agni & Rudra the Firestorm (DMC3)

- Beowulf the Lightbeast (DMC3)

- Doppelganger the Deathvoid (DMC3)

- Arkham (DMC3)

- Credo the One-Winged Dark Knight (DMC4)

- Dante the Son of the Legendary Dark Knight (DMC4)

- Hunter (DmC)

- Poison (DmC)

- Mundus's Spawn (DmC)

- Mundus (DmC)

Jesus Christ, what a list, eh?

Well, my vote goes to Vergil. As always, the cutscene building the fight up is awesome and adrenaline-pumping, with that music starting just at the right moment (and that's another factor: the music) and that fight presents one characteristic no other Devil May Cry did before and after: you thought getting weapons out of bosses was your prerogative as a player? WRONG! Vergil can do it too, and he makes one hell of a use of it! I remember how many times I died against him, that fight put a very good challenge.

I voted Dante because...... HE IS DANTE, OK? WHAT ELSE ?? Although I must say I was tempted by the beautiful image of Credo. ..

Although I must say I was tempted by the beautiful image of Credo. ..

He truly is standing... like a boss.

 

[Director Bison]

i picked Nelo Angelo
not only are the fights awesome
but i think he has the best theme music in the entirety series

 

[LordOfDarkness]

Oh, this is a good one! I'm going to have to go with Nelo Angelo for this pick.

 

[Lain]

Gonna go with Credo. Best boss fight of 4. The right amount of challenge and fun.

I loved how his fighting style was a perfect counter to Nero. Really kept you on ypur toes.

 

[Innsmouth]

I go with credo.

 

[KRSkull]

The sexy knight. You know the one they call Credo

I mean just look at him standing there with a majestic and Loyal look on his face.

 

[LordOfDarkness]

What do Credo and Nelo both have in common?...

...They both die.

Okay, I admit...I'm a terrible person.

Both are Angelo's too.

 

[LordOfDarkness]

Both are Angelo's too.

Credo was the light angel, Nelo the dark angel.

I had to give this one to Nelo though, because I sway towards the dark side. Plus Nelo is Vergil

 

[outoftheblue]

This one has been hard. As much as I liked Credo and his imposing stance, I will vote for Nelo Angelo.
I confess there is much nostalgia behind this decission, but well, I just love my tragic figures....more so my Vergil one.

 

[DragonMaster2010]

I'm gonna have to go with Dante on this one. Credo's fun and all, but nothing compares to fighting the very character you've played as for 8 years from DMC1.

 

[Absent Nova]

Beowulf. He's my favorite boss in the series since each style is very fun to use againt him, especially Royal Guard.

 

[absolitude]

credo, he's fun to fight, he moves so much that you need to just keep watching him.. and that bright wide open stage helps the fun of it..

Don't forget to cast your vote in the poll. Make my life easier in spotting the winner please.

Well well, interestingly enough, we got a draw!

@Gel @Khundy
Ah too bad your votes came too late, guys!

Remember that time for your votes to count is 24 hours!

 

[Foxtrot94]

Seeing how Vergil's votes outnumbered the other bosses eventually (although it doesn't count, since the votes came too late), he gets an honorable mention.
