Should Nero get his own style(singular), has spoilers in here

[ef9dante_oSsshea]

Vergil has a limited amount of moves compared to Dante in 3 , some moves are even copied

But he still feels very different and fresh to play as

That's why I believe one style , call it breaker style even where it allows to to absorb the breakers you are using for more moves , could work

And to swap breakers on the fly

But like, his Devil Bringer is already a "Style". Hence why I'm saying add directional inputs to its moveset and there you have it.

Just because it's not officially named Style doesn't mean it doesn't/can't function as one.

 

[LordOfDarkness]

Yeah essentially the DB is his own style. It’s what sets him apart from Dante and Vergil in the first place. So if you wanted to give him more features it would have to relate to his DB.

 

[ef9dante_oSsshea]

Well officially make that a style and add more moves then lol

 

[AgentRedgrave]

Dante has 4 styles , 6 styles canonically

Vergil has dark slayer

I believe Nero should get one too , brawler or berserker like style since he relies more on brute force

What do ye think?

I kinda always just saw Busters as his style

 

[ef9dante_oSsshea]

Just wishful thinking on my part

 

[tehrugger]

His Devil Breakers are his "styles".

 

[ef9dante_oSsshea]

They aren't swappable though , and no guarantee now his arm is back that they would be in a future game

 

[Picard]

Devil Bringer itself could be modified into styles. Have it "store" different types of abilities, and you switch style depending on what you need. But it is questionable whether it will be utilized in future game.

 

[ef9dante_oSsshea]

That's what I meant earlier in the thread , keep dB as default style (brawler or whatever, just make it official and name it

And expand its abilities and moveset

 

[Picard]

I understood it as DB itself being a style. Here I'm talking about DB having different styles, so unless I'm misunderstanding something, it would be different from your idea.

 

[ef9dante_oSsshea]

I am saying that they need to officially make the devil bringer a style , like darkslayer

And then add abilities and new moves for it

Spectral attacks
Conjuring giant fists maybe

Other things

He kept his weird summoned swords as it is so maybe expand moves for them

 

[Picard]

I don't think that would work, Devil Bringer is a weapon, whereas a style is a way of utilizing weapons. Darkslayer makes sense as a style since Dante is essentially "acting out" Vergil with his sword, but Devil Bringer is Nero's own weapon, so I do not see why it would be limited to a single style. I do agree with expanding on different attacks.

 

[ef9dante_oSsshea]

Dark slayer style for Vergil I am talking about , not Dante Vergils darkslayer as an example is not changeable

Can be upgraded to level 3

Each new level has new moves

There is no reason that couldn't work for Nero , but his bringer itself is gone so that's why this new style would-be called something else and could be totally new

He has a new arm with spectral powers

So why not call the style spectre

Style level 1 is snatch , grab and buster

Style 2 could add more moves and abilities

As could style level 3

It isn't changing anything for him , just expanding his already established moveset

And the breakers could still be kept or absorbed as powers
