I thought DMC4 was shit until I started to play Dante. I didn't even know what I was doing most of the time but was fun as hell and bosses died quick as fuck.

Style switching (especially on controller) is fucking retarded.

They should've taken the styles from 3 and integrated them into Dante's natural moveset.

Also, having 3 weapons/guns to cycle through makes it needlessly cumbersome to switch to the actual weapon you want on the fly. 2 is the most you should have.

That's probably why I much preferred playing as Nero in 4 instead of Dante.

His moveset is varied and occasionally better than Dante's, he only has one weapon to use to it's full potential, and pulling max acts with Red Queen mid-combo is super fucking satisfying.

I would probably like Nero in 4 more if the Demon Bringer had more purpose than "grab animation" and "pull things". Like if it had some punches or claw swipes or something.

first boss in forest took me a bit, dealt so low damage

yeah, the lack of sword combos with rebellion makes it unexciting, like, what is the point of trickster, ok i teleport behind someone and i still can just do the same 2 attacks or shoot them. and blademaster, blade master is just like one heavy attack and air, but you can't really get into the flow of things like with Nero, and because of the lack of combos you have to switch modes and weapons constantly, feels unnecessary

i may be a brainlet though, have heard many say that dante in 4 is THE best characteraction.

Have you actually bought any style moves for Dante? He doesn't start out with a lot, but he has a lot to buy, especially for Swordmaster.

Memorise the moves and then practice.

It's mostly on your end, yes.

If you don't understand the basic purpose of styles like Trickster or Swordmaster you should have started with DMC3 instead of 4, and not moved on until you at least had some grasp of the basic combat. There's not too much anons could tell you that you couldn't figure out on your own by playing the game a few times and experimenting.

If you really just want to apply yourself to this one there's this series (embed) which explains some of the more advanced techniques, and here's an example of the carpel tunnel-inducing techniques you'd have to use to truly get good at Dante.

I know some high-level DMC3 players like XLHGladiator never clicked with style switching at all. Seriously, if this is your first time with the game and series you'd be better off with 1 or 3 as an entry point.
