History Awesome / DevilMayCry

* [[VideoGame/DmCDevilMayCry DmC: Devil May Cry]] has enough {{Awesome Moment}}s to [[Awesome/DmCDevilMayCry get its own page]].

* No love for [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijEtZnbNjl0 Nevan]]?

* Dante might be the king, but Vergil knows how to dish out heaping helpings of {{Badass}} ''with style''. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bn0UpUGJ__A The bloodbath starts at 2:12]]. You wanna know what's even better about this? These aren't your average {{Mooks}}. No; these are the same guys you face at ''endgame''. [[spoiler:Of course, this is another example of CutscenePowerToTheMax...]]

* No love for [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijEtZnbNjl0 Nevan]]?
** The moment Dante starts ''rocking out'' with his vampire-guitar, the scene went from awesome to {{Narm}}.
----

* Though it's just a cameo, one of the endings in ''Capcom Fighting Evolution'' shows [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Jedah]] conquering the world and laughing evilly... and then, it proceeds to show '''Dante ready to challenge him.''' ... AndTheFandomRejoices.

***** And the ultimate ShoutOut to the true fans of the game, with the [[RuleOfThree triple-shot]] of the final blow: "'''''JACKPOT!!'''''" This troper punched air the moment he heard that.
****** Want to see it for yourself? [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3obeULrub8 check out the 2:16 mark.]] (SPOILER WARNING.)

* When Arkham ceases to be of use to him, Vergil confronts the man with his dark history, revealing that he knew all along how Arkham was a backstabbing schemer who would go to any lengths to acquire power. He then stabs him through the gut. Of course, [[IGotBetter Arkham wasn't really dead....]]

* I'm honestly surprised that Dante [[spoiler:SURFING ON A FUCKING ROCKET]] in DMC3 took this long to get on the list.

* The very first time you see see Vergil after the opening cutscene (which is a [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome CMoA]] in and of itself), he's standing on top of the Temen Ni Gru with Arkham, discussing their plot. Arkham goes into a long rant about how the Temen Ni Gru was built by "the greatest architects of their time, those who revered evil," in order to create a bridge to the demon realm. Vergil cuts him short, not even remotely interested in anything other than whether or not Dante has "it." Then the sand demon you just defeated in the second level shows up, and appears to be ''[[EvilerThanThou begging Vergil's forgiveness]]''. Vergil just turns around, takes a few steps, then [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hI2FVNk3gog unsheathes Yamato and cuts the demon into three pieces]]. He even times it so that the demon splits just as he's finished putting the sword back in its sheath.

* The nature of the games means that it's possible for players to create their own [=CMOAs=]. As an example, one [[LetsPlay Let's Player]] managed to beat [[ThatOneBoss the third Vergil battle]] in [=DMC3=], on [[HarderThanHard Dante Must Die mode]], ''without taking '''ANY''' damage''.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kitFV4F8hbM Try this.]] [[DifficultButAwesome Royal Guard]], DMD with SS (best possible ranking, NoDamageRun mandatory.) Made Vergil look about as effective as a schmuck trying to punch out a {{Terminator}}.

-->(after he stabs Dante with a Katana) "Foolishness, Dante. Might controls everything. Without it, you cannot protect anything, let alone yourself."

* Proving that Vergil's defining feature is his subtlety as opposed to Dante's over-the-top style, he manages to achieve a CMoA just by ''walking through a library.'' This may have been due to the scene establishing that he was BackFromTheDead, however.

* Everytime Nero uses a Devil Triggered Buster on a boss, with the pinnacle the one in the first battle with [[spoiler: Sanctus]], where a seriously ''pissed'' Nero pummels the Big Bad in the stomach so hard that the sequence ends with the villain ''begging Nero to stop!''
** That one just looked so brutal that [[InsanityPrelude this Troper]] had to look away.

* This troper found the [[spoiler: rescue of Kyrie/defeat of Sanctus]] a genuinely emotionally powerful scene; all the more awesome because DevilMayCry4 is sometimes of an over-the-top, comedic action game rather than a drama.

* For this troper, there has been no better moment at all than the second half and ending of the battle agaisnt Arkham: [[spoiler:Dante and Vergil ''team up'' to kick his ass, fighting as a real team despite having been trying to kill one another not long ago, and their moves synchronize, they even exchange weapons to show even further levels of skill and {{badass}}ery. Finishing with a dual attack which also works as reminder of a CMoA in the first game. One word summed up pretty well the whole thing: '''''Jackpot!''''']]

* [[ShoutOut Final.]] [[StreetFighter ATOMIC!]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=VhYeJZOPYnE#t=367s '''BUSTAAH!!!''']]

* Vergil's awesomeness is confirmed when he puts down a [[GiantMook Hell Vanguard]] with an inhumanly fast DiagonalCut. [[http://youtube.com/watch?v=-PNu_8J129g Behold]]. What makes it even more awesome is that he ''barely even reacts'' to Beowulf's arrival. He doesn't act confused before figuring it out like Dante, he just recognizes that this poor sucker means to kill him, and beats him to it.
