I feel lame for bugging myself at 
but hey, it needs to happen, right?
but hey, it needs to happen, right?
that reminds me
what is your headcanon on Sparda's relation to Nero
Oh no the dreaded question!!!
WELL IF IMMA TAG HIM WITH NERO I must know lmaoo
I'm pretty open about it though I usually just think Nero as a being related but not so directly related like Dante and Vergil are (whoops almost put Nero). I dunno if that answers anything at all, though.
I Have no idea except that Nero is related somehow because Look At Him lmao
Exactly.
I believe we're in the same boat.
and the only way he could be related is if he was Sparda's son or grandson...? unless there's another way
Yes.
and since we can probably assume Dante didn't have a kid
... Dante would be like "No. Nope. Nada."
LOL yeah I dont
but I have trouble seeing Vergil having........
And it's not in Vergil's character either.
and then isn't Sparda like...dead? but Nero is only 19
Canon, yes I think he is dead. Unfortunately. :x
so it's just like
WHERE THE FUCK DID NERO COME FROM
Yes
out of the goddamn ether
an unknown son
or from an unknown son
Sparda could've gotten around you know
an unknown son of a son sounds most resonable
or there's the theory sparda isnt actually dead but
I dunno
I dunno either. I wish we had more answers.
I want to know where the fuck Nero came from and what his relation is to Sparda since its hinted so freakin' much
we have to think of the unreliableness of what's given to us here, too--like. just because Sanctus says he's got Sparda blood doesnt mean anything
but he's obviously half-demon so its like 8|
Yes.
Where did you come from Nero. I love you but
your origins confuse me
I think it's safe to assume, yes, he's related just bc he's the game's protag tbh
yes
okay so
and I mean look at that hair and eyes. And the fact he can repair Yamato.
sorta
but wait so like
he got his arm after being attacked from a demon, we know that much
maybe he wasn't demony until then? Bleh that feels too much like stretching to me
but he didnt seem to be aware of any demonic power PRIOR to that if you judge based on his qoutes after he repairs Yamato "if I become a demon so be it" and just the way he acts about his arm..
yes. he seems so confused about it.
"IT CAN DO THIS?" "WHAT IS IT DOING WHY IS IT SUCKING ALL THESE ITEMS INTO ME?"
well it's new and the game is the first time he uses it so thats understandable
/looks at the manual again
okay forget this dumb forum but anyway
All I know is he confuses me further but hes a cutie.
Nero was an orphan, that alone is enough of a hint to assume he was always half-demon
bc of the way he was found etc
yes.
I definitly feel like assuming otherwise is, honestly, overthinking xD
as much as I like some of the theories I'm reading..
I just assume theres a relation but how far it goes back idk. Unknown son of a son of a son.
capcom could have retconned for all we know
orz
capcom why you do this
yes. OTL
so tl;dr Sparda will recognize him as related somehow?
Yes.
yes good
also I'm so bad at writing fights without talking to the mun so I'm glad I added you on plurk now xD
I mean to him no one else but people who are related to him should have that signature hair and eye color
plus the arm
yes.
ur also a great nero vuv
ur also a great nero vuv
yes that arm too
jhashdhashd thank you
i enjoy your dante I LOVE DANTES /squeezes
Nero currently has his arm covered again bc he keeps...recovering it
and sleeping on the roof like a loser
haha. Oh nero.
and thank you. vuv
I'll tag that post in a bit too
also spoilers I'm also naoki
Hehehe. vuv
I got Nocturne from a friend on Christmas. It's a great game (and of course it's the version with Dante so............ guess who gets recruited a lot)
haha yes \o/ I played it back in 2011-12
b-before I had actually beaten any DMC games besides DMC2
/bites thumb
/has still only beaten DMC2 and 4
Shh, it's okay. I won't judge.
I played DMC2 yeaaaaars ago bc some guy at gamestop suggested it over DMC1 bc "Dante runs faster"
its not my fault for real
but it's the first game of course it wont be perfect
and I don't think DMC3 was out at the time
DMC1 is also a really hard game
tbh I prob wouldnt have been able to beat the first one then considering I havent beaten ti now LOL
It took me a long time to actually beat half of the bosses.
the spider lava monster.
It took me two months to beat Mundus.
It also took me two months to beat Vergil too so uh. Yeah.
beowulf in DMC3--6 hours on and off one day. not counting the countless attmepts before hand
6 hours I finally beat him after giving up and using a health item
Yup
DMC1 and DMC3 are those games
then in DMC4 I said "FUCK IT" and used health and revive on the final boss
Ugh
The savior fights
Sanctus
but the system in DMC4 is much more forgiving because you have Orbs AND Proud Souls
nOPE never want to do them again ever
hell Dante gave me some trouble in mission 10.
they werent TOO bad but they could certainly be frustrating as hell
......okay so quick story
I got to Dante in mission 10 and couldnt beat him
so I put the game down for like
6 months? a year?
and I come back to it and read a little walkthrough that basicall amounts to "use the buster" and I beat him in a few tries
I tried the usual way. Run in there, attack, buster but
then after that I realized "JUST USE THE FUCKING BUSTER ON EVERYTHING IT'S MAD OP" and won the game in a few days
the asshole kept dodging me and retaliating
(that was like 2 weeks ago)
see what I did was
SHOOT and walk close
then snatch + buster
so I eventually went "Fuck you Dante, I'm playing your way" and eventually won. I was really persistent
I could spam it that way but it wouldnt work 3 times in a row so I had to hit him with some sword attacks in the middle
oh man 'A'
Dante is an asshole.
bunghole 100%
what i dont understand about DMC4 is
but I love him.
all these cool weapons
for
like 5 levels..
Nero doesnt get anything.
besides Yamato.
no I know, and I really hated plating him at first but
then the buster moves are really cool..
I wish he could use the special weapons tho
especially lucifer
Nero's buster was sometimes my "Just freakin' die already demon" thing. :')
haha yes
I used it in the sanctus battles a lot
oh god and his second form in the final level
Frosts and the Angelos are fun with Nero but such a pain as Dante.
I GOT TO THAT FORM FLAWLESSLY TWICE and then i got so frustrated
i couldnt land a single hit on him wtf
I feel like I'm getting no where with beating Angelos up on Dante.
yeah a lot of the bosses are harder as dante
I liked using Nero's Snatch on the first boss to stay in mid-air and out of attack range most of the fight
Yes.
You end up mostly being near the bosses as Dante and hammering them the best you can.
I never managed to buster the frog boss tho
You kinda have to play a little safer as Dante. :')
Nero you can kinda be like "Oh right I have this arm dont I. Welp."
hahah yes
like I said his arm is MAD OP I love it
It is.
and when you do it in devil trigger mode
daaamn
In a way Nero doesnt need any fancy weapons since he kinda has a variety on his own. You got a sword, an arm, and a gun. Mix them up well and you're kind set.
kinda* OTL
though I like Gilgamesh.
Dante's DT is also a little OP. I mean have you seen that stinger?
It's like...a 3 shot stinger when you DT. Owie.
hahah yeah but DT is supposed to be at least
out of all the weapons this time, I really only cared for Lucifer (I like fast weapons)
Lucifer is nice.
I just wish I knew how to use it better.
Lucy is fun I love filling enemies with spears and then BOOM
Lucifer also comes with a great cutscene.
the best cutscene
so how can you not love it.
and then we're all satisfied :'|
the second best cutscene is Dante and Agnus hamming it up.
I have a headcanon they could be good friends because they're both ridiculous. You know, if it werent for the whole working for the evil guy thing
omg i was just wathcing that cutscene today
I agree its great
It is.
I might have enabled a friend to play agnus
Dante's such a ham.
Oh my god
We should ham it up as Dante and Agnus.
be the ridiculous duo.
yess
and agnus is gonna be all creepy about Nero's arm
perfect.
Agnus really is my favorite Order member.
I like ridiculous characters okay
same, besides Nero
coz nero is technicaly a member
yes
Nero's a cutie.
the cutest
I anxiously await the fig i bought of him to ship
Oh man.
theyre being dumb and waiting to ship it with my preorder and im just like AHHH I WANT THE NERO
sit him next to my DMC3 Dante
and the DMC4 dante i wish i had ..... ( I lost anauction weeep)
Heh.
I wish I had a DMC fig but money.
expensive pretty things orz
I do have some prints though from conventions. My friend bought them for me when he went to one. 1Dante and 3Dante. :|
the 3Dante is actually a bookmark though.
all dantes are good dantes
except donte..
Except Donte.
donte
hahaha.
dante is in some project x zone game with lady
not my kind of game tho
at least dante isnt gone completely.
and I like to pretend DMC2 and Nocturne happened together somehow
I actually have a mini headcanon about that.
ike maybe nocturne happened right after DMC2 or something
I played DMC2 so long ago I dont remember specifics
especially since how weird all those clouds look in DMC2 and how deserted the city is.
I keep thinking "It the sign of the Conception happening..."
I just got dmc2 again to play 
ohh
but the clouds in the background look so weird.
ofc they prob just picked DMC2 Dante coz it came out the year the original SMT3
Yes
and Maniax (NA's Nocturne) was the year after ahh
I love Dante's personality in Nocturne though.
it's his usual self
funny, considering how he is in dmc2..
Yes.
It's not a quiet Dante.
It's almost like this new job perked him up or something.
hahah yes
saw Naoki, his sassy urges exploded
P much
cant blame him considering how quiet Naoki is
Yes.
I love pestering Loki so much in Nyx's bar actually. Every time I go to Ginza I'm like "Loki. Loki. I'm stepping on your cape, Loki."
Hes always playing with his drink. :|
LOL yes I bugged him too
and then got sweet, sweet revenge by ransacking his room
Yup.
"I'M STEALING YOUR STUFF LOKI WHATCHA GONNA DO 'BOUT IT"
I'm pretty sure he knows you did it though. Like when you talk to him about it afterwards...
I mean you were probably the last one he told to stay out of his room and the last one near the door...
Snerk
man this is making me wanan play Nocturne
Same.
but True Demon ending was a solid 90 hours for me last time
i Have other things I need to playy...
One you go True Demon you can never go back.
once*
also because Dante tempts me into completing True Demon.
though I could just do the kalpas, recruite him and go neutral.
it was the first time I played the game I had to use a guide book I bought to help with that ending lol xD
recruit* OTL
see neutral aint my style. I think I wanna try Chiaki's route next time
I had help from my friend and a guide. OTL
I got the official guide book it's SOOO useful, but anyway
True Demon is rewarding though. I mean you collect all this stuff and it all is worth it in the end.
I didnt enjoy the kalphas much >> I'd rather not do them again
I enjoyed the bosses tho
I just like the third Kalpa
Dante tag.
which one is that
style-wise
oh wait Dante tag FFF
I THOUGHT YOU MEANT YOU TAGGED ME I WAS CONFUSED
Yes.
"that was sudden"
No haha
Dante tag Kalpa.
yes I loved the kalphas involgin liveaction stuff it was interesting
I didn't like the fourth Kalpa much though.
cursed floors.
ah yeah
I'm pretty sure I thought "I will kill the mastermind behind these floors"
the warp area in the tower
I gave up on that and just looked straight at the map in my book
I also hated the invisible maze in the second kalpa. I knew I was thinking "I will kill the mastermind behind this maze."
I actually enjoyed those a bit
or I might be thinking of the ones in Digital Devil Saga
if i enjoyed it in one i prob enjoyed it in the other
I havent played Digital Devil Saga. OTL
though that does remind me that I need to play dsrk2....
I'm stuck on a boss though.
I'm stuck on a boss though.
and then I get stuck on a boss in an Atlus game....
I just
nope
I liked DDS1-2 until....the latter 4th of the second game
boss fights orz but theyre so fun even if hard
yes.
Matador.
yess
sorry I've gotta bail out suddenly my wrists are not...happy with me ;_;
Matador is in my way of meeting Dante.
its okay.
I havent had this problem in months im gonna assume its coz i started PC games again xD anyway
it was fun chatting with you \o/
yes. <3
