How long was your 1st run on Devil Hunter?

My first run was about 9 and a half hours or so.

y2kev · « **Reply #181 on:** February 11, 2008, 02:22:33 PM »

I finished it on Saturday night. Truly awesomesauce.

Dante is so freaking developed in this game. Spin him off if they're going to focus on nero (and frankly, they could, Nero's combat rocks too).

God the secret ending is so fucking awesome

easy auto is for lamerz. It was called Easy Automatic in the original for a reason, plebs.

(It will hurt you on boss fights, imo, but other than that it doesn't hamper anyone but people that really know what they are doing)

Capcom should really be chastised for their super cheapoing this game with asset reuse, but whatever, they're going to see the franchise uptick worldwide (thanks to the...ps3 in japan??? lawl), so they're probably very happy. And DMC5 is basically guaranteed.

Rman · « **Reply #182 on:** February 11, 2008, 02:25:49 PM »

Re-using assets?

I see what you're talking about Demi regarding auto. I just hate not have control of the moves which come out. It's great for getting more style points, though.

y2kev · « **Reply #183 on:** February 11, 2008, 02:36:26 PM »

The backtracking. Dante needs much smaller levels considering he can't manipulate the environment (and you can't move fast enough unless you have trickster level 3).

Rman · « **Reply #184 on:** February 11, 2008, 02:46:52 PM »

Oh, right.

demi · « **Reply #185 on:** February 11, 2008, 02:59:10 PM »

I still have control on what moves I perform. Where does this dial-a-combo thing come from?

Rman · « **Reply #186 on:** February 11, 2008, 03:04:50 PM »

No you don't. For example I was slashing away at a scarecrow and then outta nowhere Nero does a jumping up-slash. WT...

demi · « **Reply #187 on:** February 11, 2008, 03:09:32 PM »

You probably hit the correct button combination for the High Roller. I still have to time my slashes just like anyone else, to do Roulette Spin, and the various Red Queen Combos. Once again, exagerration from the critics.

Just don't hate cuz I'm stylin on you

Rman · « **Reply #188 on:** February 11, 2008, 03:13:47 PM »

Is there a chart that specifies what input produces what? I thought it was random.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #189 on:** February 11, 2008, 03:20:56 PM »

wtffffff

with my 20 minutes experience with having automatic turned on it was not some 'random dial-a-combo' all it fucking did was rev up my sword randomly as i slashed away, you still have total control over what moves you do. You guys have either been misinfomred or you havent been paying attention

Rman · « **Reply #190 on:** February 11, 2008, 03:23:52 PM »

No. I do have control. But it sometimes spams moves that I don't want to use atm. Like the high-roller in the above example.

Exactly. You have control but sometimes Nero will do attacks you DIDN'T input,depending on the situation.

If you do high roller, then you should be adept (adapt?) at quickly spicing things up, turning that High Roller into a Roulette Spin, or slamming him down, or Devil Bustering him. I still don't understand the dial-a-combo complaint.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #193 on:** February 11, 2008, 03:31:42 PM »

Im really stoked that Dante put on weight

I'm not complaining about it being like a dial-a-combo. What I'm complaining about is more regarding the lack of TOTAL control in the auto mode.

Junpei the Tracer! · « **Reply #195 on:** February 11, 2008, 04:45:55 PM »

I found out you gotta beat DMD to unlock Super Nero/Dante. WTF

You guys will understand my pain real soon.

sounds like noob talk, dont group us with you

Rman · « **Reply #198 on:** February 11, 2008, 06:12:46 PM »

So what are the total difficulties?

Human
Devil Hunter
Son of Sparda
DMD???
Heaven or Hell???

demi · « **Reply #199 on:** February 11, 2008, 06:21:38 PM »

Human -> Devil Hunter -> Son of Sparda -> Dante Must Die -> Heaven or Hell (everything dies in one hit) -> Hell or Hell (only you die in one hit)

Rman · « **Reply #200 on:** February 11, 2008, 06:24:45 PM »

Holy crap at the final difficulty.

Also some storyline issues.

How is Nero related to Dante/Vergil?
What's the story with his arm?

Nobody really knows, Capcom kind of just threw that all together

Probably this will be explained in the inevitable sequel.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO Human S ranked

wow wow I am #52 on overall leaderboard for Human

Cranking out S ranks on Devil Hunter now that I know where all the orb stashes are

Also throwing in taunts in my combos, I have discovered their usefulness

MCD · « **Reply #207 on:** February 13, 2008, 02:58:03 AM »

the artist is Tatsuya Yoshikawa:

demi · « **Reply #208 on:** February 13, 2008, 05:40:27 AM »

Tried Bloody Tower, got pwned by Berial... guess I had better learn some strategy instead of "slice and dice" - they are on SoS difficulty though, I havent even tried that yet

demi · « **Reply #209 on:** February 13, 2008, 04:42:13 PM »

bump for awesome gamage, half done with S rank Devil Hunter, should do the rest tonight

Hitler Stole My Potato · « **Reply #213 on:** February 14, 2008, 10:19:06 PM »

So exactly how much loading is there in the 360 version? I just got the game today for the PS3 and even after the install I'm getting loading screens all over the place. I guess I was expecting to see hardly any at all.

drew · « **Reply #214 on:** February 14, 2008, 11:35:36 PM »

Not much, just in between rooms and before cutscenes, usually for like 3 or 4 seconds. Doesn't bother me though, it's pretty much the coolest loading graphic ever.

demi · « **Reply #215 on:** February 15, 2008, 04:10:02 AM »

S ranked Devil Hunter! Finally can start Son of Sparda. I already did te first mission and got an S rank on that.

Currently:

#92 overall on Human -- there is a Toledo person ranked #7! Sent him a message.

#256 overall on Devil Hunter

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #216 on:** February 15, 2008, 03:24:46 PM »

spoiler (click to show/hide)

the second fight with Dante

[close]

... any suggestions?

demi · « **Reply #217 on:** February 15, 2008, 03:34:34 PM »

For both Dante fights, just spam your Snatch. Having it upgraded to Level 2 is best. To keep him busy, shoot at him so he is too busy deflecting bullets. Walk towards him, then jump in the air and snatch him. Then slam him to the ground.

If you snatch him on the floor, chances are he will do a Stinger on you, so roll out of the way after you snatch unsuccessfully. If you try it again, he'll probably Stinger again. So for majority of the fight try to constantly jump towards him in the air, and just Snatch and Devil Buster him.

If you connect on the floor, usually a scene of them clashing swords happens. Several things can happen here, depending on the style he's using. Royal Guard, it usually ends in a stale mate, and you have to slice him quickly or he will slice you first. Gunslinger, he usually gets the upper hand and shoots you (which is why you buster him from above). Sword Master, you will deflect his word and fling him away, damaging him.

It is not a very hard fight. On the upper difficulties, he starts using Pandora a lot.

This is what I've been doing. I can get about 1/2 of his life knocked out, but then he kicks my ass.

Dont be afraid to use Devil Trigger as well (assuming you have Trigger Heart purchased)

Or items

demi · « **Reply #220 on:** February 15, 2008, 03:50:50 PM »

Another cheap tactic is to stand on the middle platform and just let Dante come to you and snatch him when he jumps

Jesus, and I haven't even finished the game once, I just beat the dante fight.

I'm not sweatin it though, I always take forever to beat a game. I bought Ninja Gaiden a year after it came out, took 6 months to beat it, and found out I'm 2nd on the leaderboard.

drohne · « **Reply #222 on:** February 16, 2008, 06:38:45 AM »

finally beat the game on devil hunter -- i've been distracted playing ps1 games on my new psp slim. AWESOME STUFF. i'm ranked #2000 something, though i wasn't really playing for score...doubt i'll ever catch demi. just tried bloody palace and got as far as berial...somehow i'm still not too good at that fight, and i've probably done it a dozen times by now :/

demi · « **Reply #223 on:** February 16, 2008, 06:40:40 AM »

Bloody Palace is Son of Sparda difficulty, and around floor 81 or so they jump up to Dante Must Die

drohne · « **Reply #224 on:** February 16, 2008, 06:41:56 AM »

that would explain it! i guess i'll do sos before i do bloody palace

demi · « **Reply #225 on:** February 16, 2008, 06:44:37 AM »

Yea, I died on Berial too. I was wondering why it was taking forever to kill him. On DH and Human I pretty much annihilated them
