Why We Hate Vergil

I think Vergil is fine. He is lore accurate.

Whether you love him or hate him, you cannot deny that UMvC3 wouldn't be what it is today without Vergil.

"When you pick Vergil, you think that you're better than everyone else." Of course. It's called M O T I V A T I O N

Spiral swords was supposed to be defensive? Yeah, so was AEGIS REFLECTOR, and we ALL know how that turned out!

Giving Vergil a sword that deletes projectiles and the ability to turn himself into a CONSTANT ACTIONABLE 360 PROJECTILE IMMUNE HIT box SPHERE is all the proof I need Capcom have a loyalty card at their local crackhouse

I love how Gary opened with "he's not that bad if he's NOT anchor" and then his first main defense was "He needs teammates!" lamo. God I'm glad character like Vergil exist so even dyspraxic idiots like me can feel badass playing UMVC3. also autopsy update but it's just Gary with "Skill Issue"

"it uses. one bar" really got my ass

11:22 Damn right, I press two buttons, get a combo, kill, and say, "Damn, I'm cooking." I throw the macaroni in the microwave and go, "Damn, I'm cooking." That is what Vergil is, the microwave macaroni of fighting game characters, so easy to do and I can't get enough of it.

From what Gary was saying, I feel like spiral swords was almost like a shine mistake, a defensive tool that had heavily unforeseen offensive capabilities

I edited this video, hope you all like it! I hid a tiny dancing Vergil somewhere in the video, if you find it let me know in the comments!

Now we need a "Why we hate Zero/Morrigan" vid to wrap all of top 3 chars

Reason number 6) hits too hard. I used to have self esteem issues, then I picked up Vergil and now my Therapist has wondered why I haven't scheduled an appointment in nine months.

Love this style of video! Having a panel of the shenanigoons debating character strength or defending broken mechanics is such a great format, especially if one is a mediator while the other 2 fight it out Ace Attorney style. Hope to see more of these, its such a fun time

Gary was so real for this one, Vergil probably is too busted but he's so goddamn fun that i don't care

I think virgils problem boils down to how many good options he has. If even one of his options were removed, he'd be significantly nerfed, like say he lost his sword boomerang entirely, he'd still be amazing, but he'd also be more predictable. By having so many safe options, he's already mixed you, even before he's done anything. It's like that one test scientists did on reaction time, where they put 3 differently colored buttons infront of a subject, and a a screen. As the color of the button came on screen, the subject had to hit the correct button. Their reaction time were nearly doubled from most tests online for reaction time. And that's just 3 buttons, and basic colors, in fighting games, there's usually 5 universal options and 3 more charater specific options, and it's not just solid colors, you have animations and sounds and even the background itself can make it harder.

Hot take: Vergil would be a better character if you could pick only him for your team because then he can level 3 X at round start.

Not only does vergil's entire kit work properly in a game where most of the roster has at least something that just doesnt work properly, if a character has something that vergil has, vergil just has a better version of it.

Saw badgers vid and you have no idea how nervous I was seeing heavenly threaten to sweep the tourney with Vergil

I love this format, Bringing a problem character to court with guests to act as plaintiff and defense and discuss the character in question. I really hope we get more of these from You cuz this is some great shit and it's very fun to listen to

As a Potemkin main, I am merely sad we will never have a crossover so I can hug him to death.
