Ay yo WTF is dis shit?
An anonymous post on 4chan? Not holding my breath. Should be easy enough to test out, though.
Yeah it will work there
Yep definitely worked thanks, I don't mind difficulty but even with me dodging everything he does and attacking he never had a moment of rest he just keeps attacking.
Seems way too specific and easy to debunk for this to be fake.
Like it would take 5 minutes to test this shit out. Unfortunately I am at work or I would've done it myself by now.
Please don't tell me Nero is a fucking test tube baby using Vergil's genes.
But then again I get to post this gif...
With Vergil's face. Then again he who would still "technically" be his father like how Big Boss is Solid Snake's father.

Love how they list Kaneko for illustrations right on the bottom of the title screen. We need to get Vergil for SMT5.
Nice! Yeah, once I learn where the fighting arenas are I can plan ahead. Can you charge all three guns and save it for battle? It runs out over time right?
Loving her gameplay now though. So much fun once you get the hang of her playstyle.
No prob, and yeah he can get fancy.
Wasn't there some mention of something of the like being hidden a while back? An easter egg for fans to find?
She is definitely awesome.
You can only charge one at a time.
Guns - charges and releases a single shot, the power of the shot depends on the level charged. It's just a single shot and you have to charge again. The first shot charges so fast that you can pretty much rapid fire it.
Shotgun - charges are timer based, charge shot 3 is godly.
Kalina Ann - Stationary charging, you can't carry them around.
I pretty much have my finger stuck on the shoot button charging during traversal.
Honestly this could probably explain the Devil Bringer a bit better.
Just say Agnus fucked up a little when making Nero and that arm was the result

I was about to fire this game up but could only play one mission due to the ps4 not being finished with "installing" the game completely. It really makes digital only bothersome that its so damn slow to install games . It will take some days before I get to finish the game and try the new characters.
. It will take some days before I get to finish the game and try the new characters.I thought it was because Nero is more human, since his mother is human and Vergil is half human and half demon. So it would make sense for Nero to be less demon.
In Vergil/Dante's case their mother was fully human and father fully demon.
HOLLERING.
And then he goes off to start his mad errand in DMC3 because he wants to create a better world for himself and his soon to be born son.
There might be one new line in the Agnus fight but I didn't see anything in the lab that jumped out as suspicious.Ay yo WTF is dis shit?
He says "Just like in the simulations" or something. I don't know. Nothing megaton-worthy.

I finally get home tomorrow so I can pop in my PS4 copy and get to try out Lady and Vergil.
By that logic though shouldn't half of Dante and Vergil's body look like the Devil Bringer?
Nero just has the arm, Dante/Vergil can turn their entire body into demon at will.
Which Nero cant do but somehow gets a permanently demon-formed appendage.
I like the idea of Nero being a genetic fuck-up more.

Like Sephzilla said: He has a permanent demonic appendage while having a spectral form that looks exactly like a demon come out of him when he DTs (according the the wiki it's "the manifestation of his soul". I'm guessing that's from one of the artbooks/novels). He also has all the other perks that Dante/Vergil do: gravity defying acrobatics, Wolverine tier healing, demonic strength, and a funky voice filter when he DTs. Nero in general is strange.
Can we please stop with the "failed experiment" theory? How would Sanctus not know about Nero's origins if he was created by Agnus? And why would we be given 20 other hints in the game that Nero is Vergil's son?
Exactly. Which is why I don't like the "Agnus screwed up" theory.
Nero just has the arm and needs the Yamato for DT, and even then it's more of a Jojo stand than a true demon form.
Dunno but to me that sounds much less demon than Dante and Vergil who can be fully demon whenever they like.
He just has less demon blood and that explains everything nicely.

People think clones are apparently more interesting than sons? I think it would be more interesting to see Vergil reacting to his son than a clone. He'd probably just kill the clone... Plus like what others said then the whole plot wouldn't make sense if they knew Nero's origins.

Did Nero always have the arm though?
"from that day forth, my arm changed" and all that. I always explained that as Vergils death as Nelo Angelo had somehow transferred what remained of his power over to his next of kin.

According to the novel and a few comments from a developer they just said Vergil is his father, no comments on his mother. He was raised with Kyrie's family as they found him in a basket with the name Nero and the fucked up arm.
The arm went 'Normal' until a bunch of demons attacked him and Kyrie and he absorbed their souls after injuring the arm.

Even Dante's kinda too cheesable despite his big moveset, though I guess he might show up better against Lady and Vergil since they don't have as much of a win button.
I mean, in all fairness, DMC3 has some pretty crummy bosses that follow that pattern too, even Cerberus and A&R and Nevan (all of whom are good bosses), but also most of its bad fights (Leviathan's Heart, Doppelgänger, Geryon).

He is less demon, I'm just not a fan of the "clone" theory. Sorry if I wasn't clear on that or if it was tangential.
Though Dahbomb mentioned a test tube, which would work too.
The simple father/son explanation would be best both for Nero and Vergil's characters overall.
Ah I see, I don't like it either.

The mission automatically fails if you attack, the beating I was referring to was when the Frost attacks you. Issue I had was finding a good position to hold the scarecrow in place with Snatch and then quickly grabbing the next one after the Frost kills the one I was holding. I eventually got it though, after wasting two gold orbs, but I never need to touch it again.
Yamato is my primary since I enjoy doing Judgment Cuts as much as possible. Force Edge I use in very specific situations and is probably my least used, so in between that I use Beowulf when an enemy is left vulnerable to get some Full Steam charge attacks in.

Is he just going to chop off the hand or the whole arm there?
He's going to chop off the blue arm and then absorb its essence.
And boom, you have the source for another Vergil/Dante conflict in DMC5. Vergil thinks Nero is an abomination that must be destroyed, Dante defends him saying Nero has proven himself.
Regarding Nero's origins - just say Sanctus and the others didn't know. Agnus made Nero as a result of fucking around with Vergil's cells and Yamato, but didn't have the heart to kill the result of his experiment and just let him go

Yeah. I'm not against clone stuff in general, it just seems unneeded for a DMC game.

So I have some questions about the difficulty -
is son of sparda easier than legendary dark knight?
Also, of the easier mode - how much harder is it than devil hunter?
Thanks.

True about DMC3 but I legit think Sanctus is the worst boss in the genre. I'd take the NG3 T-Rex fight over Sanctus just because of how absurd it is.
The crumbles are different. They are way shorter and aren't some cut & dry sequence event. They also require strategy. Santus is basically just beat up my shield a handful of times and I'm dead.
DMC3 also has the Vergil fights, so there's that.
Which Sanctus are you guys talking about?
Savior is easily the worst main boss fight in the game, only rivaled by the Chamber fight with Agnus as Nero (at least that fight ends quick). The final Sanctus boss fight is fine, not that awful. He has some cool moves he throws at you. You still gotta be on point with your dodging.

naw the doppelganger is the worst, just hit Windows over and over again to be able to damage the boss at all. So tedious and dumb.
Oh and savior too, fuck that dumb boss, no fun at all.
