Line 7:
** Also, Vergil's been confirmed for the [[Updated Rerelease]], ''Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3''... Okay well, he's not so much confirmed as he was leaked, THEN confirmed when [[Word of God]] acknowledged the leak.
* [[Author's Saving Throw]]: Many fans are saying that the ''DMC'' preboot being an [[Alternate Continuity]] is clearly [http://www.siliconera.com/2011/10/31/dmc-devil-may-cry-takes-place-in-a-parallel-world-with-a-different-dante/ this] due to the [[Internet Backdraft|backdraft]] caused by it.
* [[Awesome Music (Sugar Wiki)|Awesome Music]]: Love should also be given to the battle music, particularly the two tracks from ''Devil May Cry 3'', "Taste the Blood" and "Divine Hate." "Taste the Blood" crosses over with both [[Moment of Awesome (Sugar Wiki)|Crowning Moment of Awesome]] and [[Funny Moments (Sugar Wiki)|Crowning Moment of Funny]] when Dante gets the Nevan
** The first track of ''3'', [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onwIcZt0-g4 "Dante's Office (7 Hells Battle)"] is the perfect track to get you pumped for a hyperkinetic battle in the Devil May Cry office.
*** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdSvIPWVyjU All] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpJj5xY1m5A three] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7vIh5H5Q7M Vergil] battle themes from ''3''.
Line 16:
** The music that plays inside the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8oj_JIiq1M cathedral] of the first game is also certainly deserving of this.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMuu3imd3ws "Out of Darkness"] that plays in the opening scenes of ''4''.
* [[
** Phantom's reappearance towards the end of ''2''. He just randomly pops out of nowhere, despite (in his last appearance) ''melting after being impaled on a spiked pillar''. The fact that he's inexplicably [[The Voiceless|mute]] doesn't help, although the description for that particular mission hints that [[Time Travel]] may be involved.
* [[Breather Boss]]: Baal in ''4'' isn't a very hard fight, probably because he comes after a long slog through the castle collecting all the Gyro Blades. He telegraphs his attacks from a mile away, they're all easy enough to dodge, and he gives you tons of opportunities to damage him.
Line 35:
* [[Epileptic Trees]]: Some fans believe that the zweihander Nelo Angelo wields is actually a corrupted version of the Yamato. Similarly, they believe that Nelo's death factors into the Yamato's broken appearance in ''4''.
** The collection of swords along the walls of Dante's shop could be a collection of Devil Arms from his offscreen missions.
** Besides the [[Continuity Snarl]] behind the [[Word of God]]-confirmed facts that Vergil {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real|is dead]] and [[Luke, I Am Your Father|Nero is his son]]}}, there's questioning over whether or not the Yamato is acting as his [[Soul Jar]], considering that Nero's DT looks considerably like a fusion of Vergil's DT from ''3'' and Nelo Angelo. Not to mention that the quote in Nero's section is a psuedo-[[Call Back]] to one of Vergil's [[Motive Rant
* [[Escapist Character]]: Dante, tell me you don't wish you'd be ''that'' [[Badass]].
** [[This Loser Is You]]: Not if you were stuck in [[Perpetual Poverty]] with two women driving you into even more debt.
Line 54:
** [[Characterization Marches On]]: These personality traits first surfaced in ''The Animated Series'' and subsequently stuck for ''4''.
*** Until ''4'', however, this could have been justified as Dante mellowing out over time. He makes the expected leap from [[Jerkass]] to [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]] over the course of ''3'', which would naturally bring him up to the more [[Knight in Sour Armor]] portrayal of ''1''. As stated before, however, ''4'' more or less [[Jossed]] this.
* [[Freud Was Right]]: The ''entire theme'' of Trish (specifically, the implication was that Mundus was using her as a [[Honey Trap]] for Dante in the first game), but subverted. As said in [[Oedipus Complex]] under Dante's entry in the characters sheet, it doesn't work on
* [[Game Breaker]]: ''Devil May Cry 3'''s style Quicksilver puts Dante into bullet time for rather long periods of time, though it eats up is devil gauge. However, with enough devil gauge restoring items it becomes a little broken.
** When playing in a unlocked mode with a certain costume, Dante has unlimited Devil Trigger. The game then essentially becomes "Dante slaughters everything in bullet time", so long as the player wants to be cheap.
Line 64:
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: Arius' corporation goes by the name of [[Ouroboros|Uroboros]]. [[Resident Evil 5|Sound familiar?]]
** Doubly so if you consider Arius' international enterprise and the fact that {{spoiler|Possessed Arius sports some psuedo-Ouroboros tentacles.}}
* [[Ho Yay Shipping]]/[[Foe Yay Shipping]]: Dante and Nelo
** And in a case of horrible, horrible [[Squick]], Cerberus/Dante.
** Well to be fair to the fanbase, the games personified them first. Hi, remember Nevan?
Line 120:
** The style system in ''3''. Why the hell should the player choose between the ability to [[Flash Step]] and that to guard? Between multi-aiming with guns and additional melee attacks? This is a great source of [[Fake Difficulty]] against bosses or enemies you face for the first time, and gets especially annoying in the penultimate boss, where the fact of having Vergil fighting with you ''prevents you from using any of your styles''. Thankfully, ''4'' allows you to change styles whenever you want, including mid-combo, making the system much more interesting to exploit, [[Difficult but Awesome|if tricky to master]].
* [[Seinfeld Is Unfunny]]: When it came out, reviews lauded the first game for its fast action and deep gameplay; today many players who try it find it kind of slow, clunky and limited (not to mention the infamous [[Damn You, Muscle Memory!|triangle jump]]). It has the right to be, since it basically set all the foundations of the modern Beat 'em All genre, three years before ''[[God of War (series)|God of War]]'' and Itagaki's ''[[Ninja Gaiden]]''.
* [[Ship-to-Ship Combat]]: Oh man, is there ''ever''. Expect Dante/Trish fans to bash Lady from being too [[Tsundere|tsuntsun]] with Dante (at least in ''3''), Dante/Lady fans to be [[Squick
* [[So Cool Its Awesome]]: As a credit to the gameplay, let it be known that ''Devil May Cry'', a series of ''single player'' action games, '''''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_DWmuXQ7Qk is tournament worthy.]'''''
* [["Stop Having Fun!" Guys]]: You play on Easy Automatic? [[Leet Lingo|GTFO n00b]]!
