Why Does Vergil Have Force Edge?

[Demi-fiend]

Edit: Force Edge looked a lot like Alastor in the trailer. Too bad.

At least he has Beowulf back in his repertoire. Maybe Capcom will explain what happened to him after DMC1. Or even after DMC4.

So, is it true that our favorite evil twin won't have his own campaign? I really hope that that won't be the case, but who knows?

--------------------------------------------------

Nero looks like he'll have his own real-time combos with the Devil Bringer. If that's true, then almost everything about him is forgiven. Almost.

It is clearly Force Edge.

And the other one is clearly Beowulf.

 

[Demi-fiend]

Ah, well. Either Vergil morphs the Sparda back into Force Edge, or we'll have no new campaign.

Crazy how that smoke makes FE look more bat-like, though.

I need to no if he had his own campaign

I got the feeling it is the latter.

 

[Demi-fiend]

As do I. But let's just assume that he doesn't for time being.

I got the feeling it is the latter.

Yep. Vergil's pretty much done here.

Maybe it takes place before DMC4, somehow? Maybe we will learn how did Yamato end up broken.
I want to imagine that Dante mission was for only tutorial purposes...

Maybe. I would love to see that happen. Perhaps we'll get a Vergil game (with Dante as the final boss) in DMC5.

I think it's just a gimmick and not part of the story.

Gimmick is as gimmick does.

 

[Wajpa]

It seems to dark for Force Edge. Maybe Vergil made a copy of it out of Nelo's Zweihander? That would explain why it has black smoke around it, right?

I still hope for Vergil to have his own story.

 

[pepodmc]

Because vergil gameplay will not be cannon, only the 2 cutscenes will be cannon (he goes to fortuna before dmc3, on DMC4:SE page says that)

 

[scionicspectre]

I thought the sword was dark because of the move he was executing. Rebellion has similar effects during certain moves.

 

[Gel]

Gameplay seems to be uncanon.

Edit: In fact I suspect Vergil's part of the story will be even before DMC3 manga.

Would be pretty cool if Vergil got his own cutscenes in his story aside from the standard Opening and Ending ones like in DMC3: Special Edition. Kinda like how Bladewolf and Jetstream sam visited familiar areas but still got their own cutscenes in Metal Gear Rising.

Could tell us a bit about how he has those weapons giving us a good idea on where it's set time wise.

Would be pretty cool if Vergil got his own cutscenes in his story aside from the standard Opening and Ending ones like in DMC3: Special Edition.

To be fair, even an actual opening and an actual ending cutscenes would be better than what we got in DMC3 SE. There, Vergil only got two opening scenes, no ending.

But yeah, a full short story would be cool. So far, it doesn't seem to be the case though. But even if they are two cutscenes, I hope they are meaningful, story wise. From what they showed in the trailer and the previous teaser, it seems they are.

Forgot he had two opening ones, it's been a while since I played as Vergil in 3.
iirc the Vergil story in 3 (what little of it there was) didn't really add anything. Vergil was just there for fun.

DMC4:SE seems a bit more ambitious with Vergil, so we'll just have to see what we get.
