You mean the DmC3 battle system, right? I have to make sure because your post sounded like you're talking about the new DmC4 battle system.

I think the DmC3 battle system is the best so far in the DmC series, but I would prefer that the Swordmaster Style would house various melee attack moves only and place all of the other moves that involves the Devilarms' powers into a different Style called "Summoner" or something like that.

That way you could concentrate purely on melee attack proficiency or Devilarm energies seperately, thus giving us more style moves because the game developers have to fill in the various missing moves in each style some more new style moves.

"Alot," isn't a word, don't merge the words "a" and "lot" together.

Yes Im talking about the dmc3 battle system I think it needed at lease 2 gaps filled in for the number of swords/weapons you can carrie.I mean like in Dmc 1 and 2 you can carrie all the swords but in Dmc3 you can only carrie 2 and also to bad you couldnt swap styles like you could swap swords in dmc1 and 2.

A. You were only able to equip two swords on purpose. They didn't want you to have to take time to cycle through 5 different weapons just to get to one for one specific move, and they didn't want you to have to stop the action just to pause the game and switch weapons. They could have easilly put all the weapons in but they consiously choose not too, and it was a good idea.

B. The style system was new, and it's very very likely that not only didn't they consider switching styles, the PS2 probbably couldn't handle Style Switching. DMC4 on the other hand does feature Real-Time style switching.

Well I say DMC3 has the best battle system out of all games out at the moment and DMC4s one will be even better
There is no way the PS2 could handle style switching unless they seriously degraded the graphics and did some other stuff :(

And I definitely agree with Lobuk, it would be stupid to be able to cycle between 5 weapons. They chose 2 so it was balanced and so you could go through and choose a combination of style and weapons that really suited you

dmc3's system been the best so far..

but as i see dmc4's gonna be even better

cuz we'll be able to change our style in the middle of a battle

i cant even imagine how it will be good ^ ^ 

The DMC3 battle system rocked. It was especially awesome when I unlocked the super Sparda costume and had 2 player DMC action via the Doppleganger style. Oh, and does anyone know if you can jump cancel in DMC1 and/or 2? It's been a while since I've played either.

I don't know about DMC2 but you surely can in DMC1, I have done, and also here's proof of another guy doing it

'Nuff said. I totally agree, both with madman24749 and Lobuk, I think the DMC 3 battle system is the best within the 3 games that were released.

And yeah, its a dumb thing to switch between 5 weapons... I think you can't hold Agni and Rudra, Rebellion, Cerberus, Nevan and Beowulf(a bit easier, but still...) on your body...

"Trash" - Vergil in Devil May Cry 3 : Mission 20.
"You're not worthy as my opponent" - Vergil in Devil May Cry 3 : Mission 20.

i think they sould give an extra sword slot, and have dt go down a little slower

Seriously DemonickF? One extra sword slot wouldn't have made it better, especially with combo-ing, you need to be able to cycle fast to get to the weapon you want, hence why they only had 2, 3 would have made it worse. I know they had it with Vergil, but he didn't have any range weapons apart from the Phantom Swords, seriously, it is all about speed, haven't you ever seen the combat videos that some people make? It would not go easy with them, in fact it would make it much harder. And DT? No way, it was already heavily used, and went down slow enough - and most people would just end up playing the Super Dante if they liked DT that much, that would not have gone easily with me sorry. The DT went down slow enough for my liking, and a couple of other peoples, it would not need to go down slower. And look how fast it regenerated, I guess your going to comment on that now, right?

In relation to Steven's post. See, that's one of the things that pissed me off in DMC3. In DMC1 DT was a useful feature that changed the gameplay and more importantly could be used from time to time to help with platforming in a mission. In DMC3 it's just there. It does't change the gameplay, it doesn't help with platforming. From DMC1 DT went from a useful feature to DMC3 where the DT itself was nothing more than a crutch for bad players to use to beat the game.

Im back!!!lol as if anyone missed me anyways,an extra weapon slot would of been ns but the DT went slow enough lease i thought it was just fine but an extra weapon slot?Hmm well it could of been useful when you have Rebellion and BeoWulf equiped and be able to equip cerberus maybe idk and also for everyone else that posted here i didnt mean cycle though every weapon/sword like you cycle though your 2 that you carry i mean you can still be able to switch though your 2 weapons but be able to carry all of your weapons like you can in DMC1.And equip your weapons that way insted of going to a statue of time to swap swords/weapons.

I liked the DMC3 battle system but the DMC4 one is going to be better. You can change styles as you go through missions instead of having to wait for the mission to end or finding a time statue.

---

I think the Quicksilver style and the Doppelganger style are abusively underrated.

Let me point out that players can fight with the style without using a costume with unlimited DT, and still pull off skillfully impressive combos.
