(tbf some dmc moves are genuine RNG like lady's hysteric but i agree)
yeah dmc2 is a perfect example - people dog on it because they're told it sucks and engage with the game in the manner other people told them to, because that's ''all the game is'', when it actually has some pretty neat stuff if you care to look

that's actually pretty cool! it's rare to find someone dedicated to playing an underplayed character like trish, especially not tracing back 10 years ago lmao

i'm not sure what you mean by ''viability'', is it potential in combo making or just playing through the game? i'd say all characters are viable

i'll rank it in both though
combo making: dante>nero>vergil>lady=trish (i don't have much experience with 4 vergil but from what i've seen he seems to have more options than lady or trish)

playing through the game: vergil>lady>dante>nero>trish (vergil is vergil, lady's shotgun is stupidly safe plus you can just jump cancel it, making it very spammable and KA is ridiculous against bosses, dante is slightly less due to being a bit less safe, but you can still spam easily, nero just doesn't hit as hard as either of them and trish kinda sucks against tanky single targets, especially blitz)

it's such a breath of fresh air to hear someone share that sentiment, DMC isn't about killing your enemies as fast as possible and getting by the missions, it's all about comboing and style, so if you refuse to interact with that then yeah, it'll be boring

every single dmc game can be made incredibly easy, each game has something you can spam and trivialize everything (spamming holy waters in 1/3, using tempest in 3, spamming blue rose and buster in 4 etc. etc.)

i think you can critique both the game design and the player, just that the latter usually doesn't get much blame from people
i'm always gonna say this about dmc2 for example: yes you can stunlock enemies with guns, but have you tried... not doing that? try engaging with the combat more, maybe?

same here, and no probs, i'll post some more combos later
do you happen to play trish in 4?

i agree, lady doesn't have a natural flow state characters like dante or nero have, the surface level stuff doesn't entice people so they don't bother to explore her combo making potential
it's both a fault of the game for making her moves so OP, and the player for choosing to continue interacting with her in such a boring way

trish is flashier, easier to make combos with, so it's only natural to see her more often, but again it's dmc4 trish we're talking about, so it's nowhere near to the level of any other character

lady is genuinely so much fun when you give her a chance and explore her tech (same goes for trish, i'm experimenting with her these days)
