DMC 3 - Special Edition Devil May Cry

[Saurian]

It's cutscenes edited together - I was hoping to see you play man, but very nice work on the video editing, something I'm absolutely useless at!

I'm currently playing loads of Bloody Palace (my partner in crime finished ALL of it the sick bastard!) - but it's V-Hard Mission 16 Skull Room that owns me heart and soul, the constant supply of Hell Sloths to train up on with much higher HP has allowed me to go up a few gears with the fighting.

I can j-Cancel multiple Killer Bees in mid-air, then j-Cancel them into a Helmbreaker into a Helmbreaker and then back into Killer Bees all off the same jump - then use the stored Air-Hike to jump out and retarget another enemy with freedom to start another chain as I like. The movement you can get going in this game is INSANE! This stuff allows you to deal powerful Aerial Raves even in Royal Guard.

I love Bloody Palace as the stage is so clear you can really study how to make a mockery of all the different enemy types - I'm gonna finish it one day, but for now just rinsing Dante's system is still blowing me away!

Got Jester's first form down completely - the 2nd form I can deal with, but cant perfect him yet. It's ALL about working out and deciding which attack to concentrate on defending against - one set requires you to parry the red hands reaching out the ground while another will require you to avoid these while parrying the plasma. Then you let that ball have it with both stored Releases to drop Jester to the ground where you can batter him.

Gave the bloody palace a quick try think i shall have to power up the characters a bit for that (hope the reward at the end is worth it)

Have a go at playing to improve your skill and enjoyment - that's better than any unlockable extra a game can give you, Bloody Palace will improve your game immeasurably and you might even have something interesting to post for once.

Ouch!

Thanks for the vid - can you help a novice out please; the first attack that Jester perfomrs in the vid is a stream of bouncing balls - are you just rolling out the way of these, or parrying them as well?

Apologies if that's a bit basic.

yeah man, its just a music video, usually I stick to animes, DBZ, narruto, but the cutscenes in DMC were awsome, so I had to do it. if anyone is yet to see ALL of the cutscenes, than it will spoil a lot, lol. If the file is too large, I'll try making it smaller and reposting it ltr on 2day.
Im glad you like the editing, its something I really enjoy, but not that great at it yet, but I'm always improving.

In terms of actual game play, I have like 15+ advanced combos w/ Vergil rdy to go, just to get them on camera lol, but dont worry, its coming...soon.

Edit: after watching Saurian's vid against Jester2: Saurian, have you fought Jester on DMD yet? Cause I have w/ Vergil and the rushes that you do I dont think will make him tired. When playing w/ Vergil, I had to constant use the Summon Swords to tire him out, cause just teleporting and attacking to him, the equivalent to Dante's Stinger, and Straight attacks you use were ineffective at slowing him down. He would just teleport and go right into the next attack. Neway, seeing your fight has promted me to make one w/ Vergil, lol, thats another 1 I can add to the long list of vids I NEED to get up off my ass and werk on. LOL

ok, for those 56k users out there, believe me I understand the situation as I used to be one myself, I condensed the file twice, once in MPEG4 format, and agian in DivX, to a new 38 meg file, which can be downloaded here.

no the quality isnt great, but considering that the original file is 600 megs, and it was compressed twice, its still pretty dam good.
the other file, still a whopping 87 megs, for those of you who missed my earlier post can still be downlaoded here, and has much better quality:

I have to ask if anyone else uses the editing program Adobe Premiere, becuase I have no idea how to lower the quality and size output of the movies. The file I export fresh from Premiere are the huge ones, 600 megs for the original Music Video, and I use a different program to condense them, but there should be a way to do that right in Adobe Premiere, but its such a complicated program I have no idea how to, so if anyone knows, plz fill me in.

Finally managed to get thru DMD last nite w/ Vergil, and low and behold, Super Corrupt Vergil was unlocked. For those who dont know, Corrupt Vergil allows you to transform into Nero Angelo, the suit of armor/TANK from DMC1...or so I hear, cause I never played it...

Anyway, since the costume allows unlimited DT I was pretty much just running around as Angelo for most of the time, and I have to say, he is a true Beast. Just by running, you hear the clanging of his greaves against the floor, which is just awsome, and the way he holds his sword to one side when he runs, ready for anything, makes it look like he's rushing something and just looks sick.

I also realized that using Nero Angelo enables a new depth of play for Vergil, almost like Dante's quicksilver, and doppelganger, except with no overall stylistic changes, just slight changes in speed and power, but it does provide a completely new, and somewhat limited movelist, restricted only to Yamatto, and Beowulf. However, by using quick transformations back or fourth, Angelo expands Vergils already broad range of freedom, because its like having 2 extra weapons on top of the original 3, not to mention, Angelo's moves, although slow, do huge damage, so you can wreck some serious havoc. So if your in the middle of using Force Edge 4 hit combo, DT, the moves reset, and you can lay waste to whatever enemy your fighting and poor bastard wont stand a chance.

I'm definately gonna work in some combos in my upcoming vid to give you a better idea. As well, there is 1 costume for Vergil I'm yet to unlock...HEAVEN AND HELL is goin down! p.s. funniest difficulty ever, 1x Hell Vanguard + 1x Summon Sword = rape, lol

the main page for DMC3 SE has an update Column 6 http://www.capcom.co.jp/devil3_se/
there is a really cool vid of something using RG against Vergil2, and Vergil fighting some cave spiders, just wondering if anyone could translate the context of the consversation and fill me in on what it is regarding, and also the main page makes reverence to "Raising the Devil" a sound DVD book or something, is that the soundtrack for the special edition? Again I cant understand any of the Kanji written about it. thx in advance

[Generic_Chaos]

Just wondering if anyone's got the Japanese version of this yet?

[Keith]

Yep, mine turned up today.

Edit: From PA.

I was gonna wait for Saurian to answer this, I dont want to steal the man's thunder or nething, (not to mention I wouldnt know the answer if not for him, lol) but if your still curious:
Your guesses were close, because he's doin both. Rolling provides a set of invulnerablity frames, meaning you can roll thru an enemy attack and take no damage. So blocking with RG while rolling cancels the animation and, if the timing is close enough, any attack hit during that animation will be an immediate parry. roll parrying is extremely useful, cause the parry no longer has to have exact timing, and gives you a larger parry window, which can used for tons of attacks. Hope thats helpful.
For some more really good, and advanced tactics, Saurian did 2 indepth guides for Royal Guard and Swordmaster, check em out, they're amazing

Need to ask 3 questions:
1) is there any date for a PAL release yet?
2) if anyone has purchased the Japanese vers. if they could scan it on to their comp and post it here, just to cover the Greatest Hits crap on the American vers.
3) has everyone completely lost interest in this game? Been checking this for weeks, and no one be posting

[Mardigan8]

Mate if I had it in PAL Land I would be gushing over it but sadly not... Shadow Of The Colossus is blowing my head off though, the PS2 is first class !!

[Darwock]

I don't have it yet either, I was waiting for the NTSC-J version initially and now it's released I'm short on cash :/

I've got the Japanese one, but no scanner mate. And I'm playing and loving it, but not really got much to talk about that hasn't been said since I'm having to go through it from scratch again. (Although, Turbo is just what the game needed; who'd have thought that adding something so minor could improve a game so much?!)

no worries man, its just the cover. However, if neone does have a scanner, please dun hesitate would really appreciate it

yeah, Turbo mode is amazing, especially when ur playing Vergil, but when I was trying to use Royal Gaurd w/ Dante, the mode really threw off my timing. but other than that, its awsome

so no news of a PAL release eh guys, dunno why Capcom is wasting so much time, not to mention screwing over so many loyal customers.

EDIT: while im here, any Royal Guard users have tips for using RG when fighting Geryon? always get run down by that stupid carrage
