Devil May Cry

Great, now I'm wondering if Nero's Devil Bringer had bedroom applications.

Edit: Welp, that's a page-topper.

Depends how good he can control that thing.

Its essentially a floating third hand so he can prolly do some kinky stuff with.

I think Kyrie would prefer Nero leave the Devil Bringer stuff out of the bedroom. She doesn't know where that thing's been after all.

Also, it's kind of hilarious that despite his lecherous nature, Dante seems to be the only male member of his family who hasn't been confirmed as having had sex.

Dear lord I'm uncomfortable with the idea of Nero and Kyrie having a sex life I still can't get over the whole raised together thing.

I don't think "Lecherous" is the right word for Dante. "Horny" sure.

I remember I used to hope DMC would add a handsome male character that Dante wasn't related to so I could ship'em.

Well we got V now.

Also I'm starting to think Vergil inherited something Dante did not since the former knocked up a prostitute.

Yeah, you'd think the Westermarck effect would have kicked in for them.

I'm still not convinced V's not related to our boys somehow. He doesn't seem the type of person I'd ship with him anyway, there seems to be an age gap and his personality from what we've seen leans more into the kind of character Dante would make fun of. It doesn't help that I can't help being reminded of Kylo Ren.

Goddamn creepy writers.

Well its not like Adam Driver is an unattractive man.

Sure Kylo Ren is a detestable character but that's due to his personality & actions, not looks.

I mean, you're not wrong.

But that's not how my brain works when it comes to association. XD

Would Credo qualify? Granted he's dead but you can always head canon that he came back to life.

Mmmmaybe. Honestly if I got desperate I'd probably pick those old demon swordsmen that where Sparda's apprentices from the anime. "Swordmaster's apprentice woos swordmaster's daughter" is probably one of the oldest tropes in storytelling honestly, definitely worthy of a twist.

But you know. That time it just ended in tragedy.

Luckily Dante has been in a ton of Capcom games so Crossover Ship is very easy to apply.

While he's never appeared in an Mv C game, Leon from Resident Evil seems like the ideal crossover m/m ship for Dante. We already know he has a thing for people dressed in red.

They actually met in Project × Zone. And yeah, I can see that working. Assuming Lady didn't ruin every chance Dante had of acting mysterious and aloof, which she probably would for shits and giggles.

I remember writing some fanfic for that game. I figured Haseo from .Hack would definitely have the hots for him, but Dante would turn him down on account of him just being a teenager.

Out of curiosity, what are you guys' top 3 boss fights in the series?

Every Vergil, Credo, Agni and Rudra

Credo, final boss Vergil and I would not know who to pick for third best, maybe Nelo Angelo.

Vergil is pretty much gonna dominant this discussion

followed by Credo Angelo and Nelo Angelo

So I'm gonna go with Griffon, Despair Embodied 'if DMC just sped up its attack speed it be a really challenging fight' Bolverk, Nevan

I like Diablo Santucs for the Finish...

Angus Angelo for the intro!

_____

I'm honest'y disappointed there wasn't a Gloria Angelo... but then again maybe thats due to the fact that Gloria was just Trish... and Trish has NO new tricks to show for it.

I have a fondness for Phantom. He was the Wake-Up Call Boss of the first game. He made the player realize quickly that this game was only going to get harder.

This is hilarious and you can't tell me otherwise

This is the beginning of the fandom mocking the everloving shit out of V isn't it?

I guess it's because I played Ninja Gaiden first but I never found Phantom particularly difficult for a first boss. Griffon was easier though for the most part, though his boat fight is really janky.

Final Nightmare was the hardest DMC 1 boss IMO. It's also one of my least favorites though his music is sick.

T Bh I only really liked the 3rd Vergil fight out of his ones in DMC 3, but even then I dislike the "virgil sits there and takes a beating" parts of it because it feels arcadey and jarring with the pace of how the fight plays out otherwise. I feel like Jeanne in Bayonetta pulled off the Vergil fight concept better as she was always moving and you would have to make opportunities to attack her and she wouldn't just sit there and go ug ugh OOF ugh ugh OOFF ugh ugh OOF for like 6 seconds(well you could abuse exploits and tricks to do that to an extent but the openings aren't as canned as Vergil's).

Credo Angelo was fun yeah, I did like that fight.

They already started when the first Kylo Ren comparison dropped

V looks too much like Kylo Ren for the fandom to not mock him to the ends of the earth. But it'll probably be more affectionate mocking once the game is out.

As for favorite boss fights. Hmmmmm. Its been a bit since I've played 1 or 3. I can definitely agree that Phantom was a cool boss. He was a good wake up call, and he was a giant lava spider which is damn cool. Griffon was fun because it was almost like the game became a bullet hell but not actually as hellish as a bullet hell. They are fun games in concept I'm just not great at them. And Mundus was a cool final boss too. And.. you know what fuck it all the DMC 1 bosses were great except for nightmare. And even then I still kind of of like Nightmare.

And you know what I'm going to put a DMC 2 boss in here. Nefasturris the skyscraper that turned into a demon or whatever it actually was. Sure, its from DMC 2 so the gameplay was eh. But killing a giant of that size is always fun.

Hmmm. Its weird but like despite DMC 3 and 4 being great the actual boss fights aren't as notable to me? The bosses have some like great pre and post fight cutscenes but the actual fights aren't that different from normal game play if that makes any sense. Like I want to list Nevan but that's half because sex appeal and half because the lighting scythe guitar is fucking amazing. Her actual boss fight is while fun not really notable? I dunno. Maybe I need to play through 3 again.

Hmmm. Yeah objectively DMC 3 and 4 are better mechanically then 1 by a significant margin. But DMC 1 was the first and just I guess imprinted itself upon me more effectively then 3 or 4.

Yeah, like, all the boss fights from DMC 4 where amazing but nothing quite has that WOW factor as a giant spider made of magma bursting forth to oppose you since the giant magma spider came first.

Nefasturris the Tower of Misery from DMC 2....eh, it had a great intro, but the actual fight was not that great. Of all the DMC 2 boss fights the only ones I found really fun were Bolverk and The Despair Embodied.
