So the Devil may cry anime.
I have a problem whit it nobody has really said because maybe im wrong or maybe it dosent matter but. I wish everybody fought in more diffrent ways. Ofc Dante has the Rebellion and Vergil the Yamato so those are diffrent but also just in how they fight. Not just strategy but how they move their body and what parts so let me give you my own thoughts
Dante: Boxer. Dante is a Boxer at heart the moment his sword or guns arent in reach he squares up thats pretty much Canon.To me he has a very Mohammed Ali kind of way when it comes to shit talking where he talks alot of bullshit about people and talks down on them but he actually stands behind it so he sucks but hes also hella cool. Dante (even if were tryna be gaslit hes not) is pretty smart when it comes to Battle. Hes aware of his surroundings and can think fast on hwo to use them for his own advantage. BUT also. He has a very clear Problem. Dante has this problem called beeing a cock meaning he always thinks hes the best in the room ( worse part beeing that hes right) and therefore trys to make things harder for himself to "balance things out" but it really just comes down to overconfidence and his distrust in his Opponent to be able to hold a glass to him which leads to him beeing humbled sometimes.(specifically during 3s time he grows more Mature) Dante moves freely and openly He moves over long Ranges and moves often and quickly if jumps, ducks, punches or even a kick he does not limit himself ,but even whem his Way of fighting can come off as Street fighterish its more planned and thought out then first meets the eye. I think this comes from genuine passion for fighting Watching boxing matches and recreating theyre movement. Watching Movies and beeing fascinated whit how far the Human body can move and whit how much ease ( at this point he is still abit young and dosent fully understand stunt doubles but even when he does hes still amazed) Even if i think theyre Powers include Stregth and their physicality I brlieve everything else is created by Pure work. Here the Twins also split. because Dante fights very Humanely. Wtaching people. Trying to downplay himself to be at the same powerscale. Even if it is his cockyness rhat makes him believe he has to hold himself back it is to ensure a 'fair' fight something he apprechaites greately. ONLY whit Vergil does he really have an actual chance to elt loose fully other then that getting a fair fight is pretty hard.
Vergil:Vergil on the other hand is no nonesense he is more dependant on his weapons ,shown by his more demonic reliant abilitys (Magical swords and all the diffrent things the Yamato can do) He does not like getting his hands Dirty and only fights when truely Needed. While fighting he mostly stays whithin a box you can pretty pretty easily line. During this time he enjoys watching his opponent struggle as he uses his pure demonic power (kinda cringe) to create energy swords and use the yamato. He dosent enjoy using his own body in Combat as he sees it as sacrate ,something untouchable. BUT when near combat is needed its Kickboxing Vergils hands and arms never leave the Yamato too far because he sees his hands as the most sacret part of him since their most Importand for his dark arts. So therefore his legs ,He uses Kickboxing mostly as a defense rather then as a actual Offence to create space between himself anf his opponent ofcourse He also does damage whit it but its not his main goal. He is very great in defense in generel to tire his Opponent or make them feel helpless because nothing against him seems to work since his Battle Iq is high in a diffrent way where rather then taking Advantage of his surroundings to counter attacks by finding its weakness he enjoys proving how obselete the attavk was to begin whit by pulling it apart before it can even hit the target (him) Or when fighting humans he just kills them directky since its easier he only fights when needed he does not fight for fun or enjoyment but For ,well ,power.He fights to show his superiority a clear opposit to Dante who loves fighting in fair fights for fun
