** When he was interviewed for ''VideoGame/DevilMayCryPeakOfCombat'', Itsuno [[https://youtu.be/wcPCPFVnH0k?si=WyPBvUfZq25tIFqg&t=90 implied]] that a [[PlayerVersusPlayer PvP]] mode was planned at some point in the older games, even before ''[=PoC=]'' made it possible. [[note]]In that interview, he refers to the older games as the "console" versions while comparing the mobile game to them.[[/note]]
--->'''Hideaki Itsuno:''' When I heard that there's going to be a PVP mode... I was surprised, but for some reason... We originally wanted to do this in the console versions. We considered a lot but it was difficult to realize and we didn't make it in the end.

Moved from Dante's character subpage. There's no suitable trope meant for the main page. It can't be an expy because they're mentioned to be based on two characters, and composite character is a misuse. Word Of God is the closest approximate.

* FanNickname:
** "Wacky Woohoo Pizza Man" - Dante for his carefree, devil-may-care personality, stylish fighting style, and [[TrademarkFavoriteFood love for pizza]]. In fan discussions, this is usually associated with ''[=DMC3=]'' and ''[=DMC4=]'', especially with the fourth game where he is having fun even after The Savior has already absorbed Nero. It's later updated to "Wacky Woohoo Pizza Hobo" for the fifth game due to his older and slightly more unkempt appearance.
** "Cutscene Dante" - Because the series just loves to take advantage of the CutscenePowerToTheMax trope, Dante's gameplay mechanics are often compared to the more awesome stuff that he can do in cutscenes, with fans even joking that Cutscene Dante is a different entity compared to his in-game counterpart.
** "Weeb" - Vergil's spiky hair and stylish coat are noted to be usual stuff from anime, while his Yamato is a katana, and his primary fighting style is [[IaijutsuPractitioner Iaijutsu]]; both originating from Japan. Generally, Vergil's Japanese influences stand out from the rest of the cast, and fans noticed it.
** "The Storm (That is Approaching)" - The chorus of Vergil's song in ''[=DMC5:SE=]'', "Bury the Light", begins with "I am the storm that is approaching", so the fandom also tends to refer to him using it. While it started from ''5'', the fandom retroactively uses it as a nickname for him in general, even in ''[=DMC3=]'' and in his GuestFighter appearance in ''VideoGame/UltimateMarvelVSCapcom3''.
** "Gorb", "Blorb" - {{Portmanteau}} nicknames for the Gold Orb and Blue Orb items.
** "Journalist Mode" - The Easy/Easy Automatic difficulty mode, which trivializes the challenge of the games. It usually comes with the bonus of simplifying the complex combos, allowing players to [[ButtonMashing button mash]] their way into the end. This was further popularized after the fandom also made "Journalist Music" [[MemeticMutation memes]] following the release of ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry5'' and its VariableMix effect.
** Acronyms are used as alternatives for weapons, concepts, mechanics and abilities that have long names. For example, "JC" means Judgement Cut, "JCE" means Judgement Cut End, "DSD" means [[spoiler:Devil Sword Dante]], "DSS" means Devil Sword Sparda, and "BP" means Bloody Palace. This naming trend became more common as Capcom officially used more acronyms in the games, such as Devil Trigger being called "DT" in loading screen tips, or the Dante Must Die mode being called "DMD" in achievement icons.
