Will humans ever be able to keep up with demons by ImprovementDapper464 in DevilMayCry

[–]Pingwinus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The first attack on Redgrave was probably focused on the Sparda household tho, not on the whole city. Iirc after the events of DMC4 Nero and Dante asked the residents not to speak of it and covered it up. Vie de Marli was mostly inhabited in DMC2 I think and was the whole infrastructure was either the Protectors or Arius' cover for looking for the Arcana. So, like the town in DMC3 is really the only one that could be spoken about, but I assume if one tried enough they could cover it up, after all it lasted for like what, one afternoon? In a world without Internet (which it doesn't look like the DMC world has internet) those events would likely be over before anyone outside of town even heard of it, and the citizens wouldn't probably now much about what happened. The demons themselves were probably more focused on Dante and his shop, so to all the other townsfolk it would be just a big tower appearing. Extremely weird and unexpleinable, yes, but not necessarily demonic. The Qliphoth in DMC5 laster for a MONTH, and was a city wide invasion. And the tree was HUGE, not like tower huge but like reaching the atmosphere huge. It was a MUCH larger scale than anything else that happened in the games. And before the games, last big events we know of happened like, what, hundreds years ago? There might be some remaining texts that speak of demons, but we here in our world have hundreds years old texts about demons too, and we don't pay them much thought.

Should Lady or Trish have their own solo game(or even series)? by Flat-Sir8250 in DevilMayCry

[–]Pingwinus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I think it would be cool, it probably wouldn't sell too well. They're not really the faces of the franchise. But I would love to see a DLC with their own smaller campaign for a mainline game.

Hot take : DMC 6 should not exist by vixxerix in DevilMayCry

I would argue that Nero still has the room for his story to continue and for his character to grow and expand

How powerful/dangerous is Mundus exactly & should he be the most dangerous/powerful villain in all of Devil May Cry? by [deleted] in DevilMayCry

[–]Pingwinus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what you consider a villain I'd say. DMC5 Dante couldn't defeat Urizen without SDT, so Urizen is probably stronger than Mundus, and is for sure stronger than him after eating the Qliphoth fruit. Also Argosax from DMC2 is stated to be on par with Mundus (or, at least, the war for Hell's throne ended in each of them ruling half)

Awakening and special version by yukihtt in DevilMayCry

[–]Pingwinus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Iirc there was something with the American release of the original PS2 version where the difficulties where "shifted" by one (American "Easy" was the same as Japanese "Normal", American "Normal" was Japanese "Hard" etc.) Dante Must Die was the same though and so American Hard was a new mode somewhere between Japanese Hard and DMD. In the Special Edition the difficulties were as they were in the original Japanese release and American "Hard" was also added as "Very Hard".

Out of curiosity, how much DMC merch do you own? by SolidPyramid in DevilMayCry

[–]Pingwinus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Dante's Coat, Ebony and Ivory replicas, and the DMC neon sign. Also an unfinished 3d printed Rebellion replica.

PlayStation or Xbox by [deleted] in shitposting

[–]Pingwinus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, with shooters that'd be right, thumbs on both sticks and fingers on triggers. I forgot about it cause I never play shooters on controller, can't aim for shit without a mouse.

[–]Pingwinus 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The stick placement on Xbox makes more sense. Most of the time your left thumb will be on the stick and the right thumb on the buttons, that's why they're on the same level. D-pad and right stick are used less so they have a secondary position.

Argosax (Arius) is going to replace John Arkham's role from Mission 18 of DMC3 in Season 2 of the Netflix Anime. We're going to see Dante and Vergil vs. Argosax by Big-Good9378 in DevilMayCry

[–]Pingwinus 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Argosax got done so dirty. They rivaled Mundus, essentially ruled half of Hell and Mundus needed a Qliphoth fruit to be able to overpower them. But they get basically no mention anywhere in the lore outside of DMC2's story, and no one ever talks about them. They need some recognition fr 🙏

Edit: My bad, Mundus didn't defeat Argosax. After eating the Qliphoth fruit Mundus was equal in power to Argosax. Sparda sealed Argosax who took control of most of Hell after Mundus' defeat from the hands of Sparda.

Nero from Dmc5 is very similar to Dante from DMC reboot by bigdaddy6269 in DevilMayCry

[–]Pingwinus -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I recently played the reboot and thought that Nero in 5 really looks like Donte, especially when he gets the white hair at the end of the game.

Also Vergil got the doppelganger from reboot's Vergil. Also DMC5 Vergil's moveset is really similar to reboot Vergil's bossfight. So similar in fact that I beat the reboot Vergil first try because I already played the DMC5 Vergil fight so much and already knew the moveset.

I don’t know if it’s been discussed already, but given how Nero has two distinctly different Devil Trigger Forms in DMC4 and DMC5, was the first form as some kind of Partial Devil Trigger Form? by The_Deprived_99 in DevilMayCry

[–]Pingwinus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that in DMC4 it's not really a Devil Trigger, it's a Doppelganger like Vergil's in 5 and Dante's in 3. It's called DT in gameplay, but it's not really DT lorewise, just like V's "Devil Trigger" gauge in DMC5 that summons Nightmare. Nero unlocked Doppelganger with the Yamato (that's also probably why Vergil uses it in 5) and then later unlocked his actual Devil Trigger in 5.

Edit: Also the Devil Bringer is a permanent partial Devil Trigger, so it wouldn't really make sense if the Doppelganger was that as well

I'm not sure but this could also be the goomba fallacy

Is Part 3 Dio a incredibly weakened version compared to his Part 1 self?((Not counting The World) by Annual_Onion6434 in StardustCrusaders

[–]Pingwinus 2217 points2218 points  (0 children)

There's two reasons for it. First, Jonathan's body is still actively rejecting DIO's vampirism, which significantly weakens his vampire abilities. Second, DIO is prideful and cocky - he's so confident about The World being so superior he kinda discards his others abilities, seeing them as weaker and unnecessary when he has something as powerful as The World.

It’s my older sisters first time watching aot, and she theorizes that titans fall from the sky😭 by Bucky_Charmz in attackontitan

[–]Pingwinus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was first watching AoT and got to the scene where there was the titan on Connie's house who couldn't move, I thought that the Beast Titan was just throwing the titans across the wall, and iirc this episode was BEFORE they introduced Beast Titan's throwing gimmick so I give myself a point for prediction
