Glad to hear you're back online and stuff.<BR/><BR/>I haven't played DMC4 in a while (went through Ninja Gaiden on Hard for the first time... as fun as the game is, you learn how little of your own style you can inject in the game :( The fact that you can die so easily makes one a pragmatic player, as opposed to flashy, 'cause there are definitely some sweet looking moves), but I did remember something that happened to me while playing against Bael or Dagon, one of the two. You can actually get on his back, after he does his belly flop. <BR/><BR/>In theory, playing as Nero, you can actually air hike up, and use the Bringer to keep staying in the air. The belly flop doesn't hurt you till he actually lands, so if you're in the air I don't think he can hurt you. Once he lands you could potentially land on his back, leaving him completely open to break the ice. I did it playing Dante, using the jump invincibility and actually landed on his back, to my surprise.<BR/><BR/>I'll see if I can't do it again, but it's something to try.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08274232327749685671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283652853956268778.post-13713634040102879312008-03-29T22:12:00.000-05:002008-03-29T22:12:00.000-05:00Hey!

I am an avid fan of the DMC series, been playin from dmc 1. your FAQs/WTs are exceptional.<BR/><BR/>i think you know, but i didnt see it in your DMC4 WT, that in Mission 9, you can also gain SSS by shooting a lvl 3 Blue Rose just as they release that fireball. imo, it's less risky than charging the EX3 Streak. cheers!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283652853956268778.post-42267689780962241922008-03-14T06:57:00.000-05:002008-03-14T06:57:00.000-05:00Yeah, Ebony & Ivory used to be my weapon of choice...Yeah, Ebony & Ivory used to be my weapon of choice, but no longer. They can't even damage a Chimera Seed very well.<BR/><BR/>The main thing that I noticed with them, when compared to DMC3, is that Dante now has a lack of airtime while shooting them in the air. He falls faster with each shot. In DMC3, he could float up in the air for quite a while longer and actually perform attacks on an air enemy during the shots.<BR/><BR/>The only reason that I switch to them now is to shoot the Savior's fireballs or when I feel like seeing Twosome Time - I love that move but I can't find a real good use for it. It seemed slightly useful on Basilisk, but not extremely helpful.Berserkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11445111770790127212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283652853956268778.post-52959098964726958092008-03-11T14:05:00.000-05:002008-03-11T14:05:00.000-05:00Distorted Royal Release?

I doubt you could just DT and Release at the same time; at least, not to create a distortion. You'd have to DT and then Release with like 4 frames' separation, which is rather difficult and maybe unnecessary :(<BR/><BR/>BTW have you found much use for E&I in this game? I feel like they drastically reduced its power, and thus, its potency, when there are so many other options. I've only used it for Basilisks and Cutlasses (which even with E&I I have a big problem with, weirdly enough). Charge Shot for it in DMC3 was really good and powerful, but doesn't seem to do much of anything in DMC4. It kinda makes me sad.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the thread, I'll definitely read up :DBrianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08274232327749685671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283652853956268778.post-23285994537629837722008-03-09T17:17:00.000-05:002008-03-09T17:17:00.000-05:00Thanks. :)http://tinyurl.com/3y7duyRead ^that thre...Thanks. :)<BR/><BR/>http://tinyurl.com/3y7duy<BR/><BR/>Read ^that thread on IGN and Malcolm90K lists up all the worthwile distortion moves - well, all the good ones so far. Just about every move can be distorted with the proper timing, but some are more useful and easier to do than others. He also has an interesting method for powering up Gilgamesh charge attacks. I really haven't found a use for them but its still interesting.<BR/><BR/>I've been trying to distort the Helmet Breaker but it doesn't seem to work that well. It seems like a Shredder takes off slightly more if you DT during it, but neither of these have that extra earth shattering effect that the others have. :\<BR/><BR/>Some have hinted at the possibility to distort a fully charged Royal Release.Berserkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11445111770790127212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283652853956268778.post-74529433498417651982008-03-09T16:50:00.000-05:002008-03-09T16:50:00.000-05:00Yeah, I have my setup for guns as well, with RT an...Yeah, I have my setup for guns as well, with RT and LT reversed :) It was the first thing I did when I started playing!<BR/><BR/>I didn't know you could get an even better Stinger...

I just got through adding the Mephistos to the enemy section and listed that as a good way to deal with them. I'll do the same with the Fausts.<BR/><BR/>I'll have to try out that other stuff as well.<BR/><BR/>That distortion technique is great. Be sure to try it at the end of Dance Macabre and try the Inverted Stinger distortion (DT then shut off DT before a DT'd Stinger ends).<BR/><BR/>One thing I'd recommend for Bloody Palace is to switch the button layout so you can charge Blue Rose with Nero. For the X360 version, I have LT is gun, RT as Exceed, RB as lock-on, and X as Devil Trigger. I used to have RT set as lock-on, but RB really isn't all that bad once you get used to it.<BR/><BR/>That level 3 charge blast helps out extremely well for any enemy! As long as you know how to deal with Blitz and the bosses, it's all smooth sailing through Bloody Palace for the most part.<BR/><BR/>I can still only make it up to about stage 38 with Dante. The Blitzs are so unpredictable because of the way that Dante has to deal with them.Berserkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11445111770790127212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283652853956268778.post-33358008414465075932008-03-09T03:42:00.000-05:002008-03-09T03:42:00.000-05:00Hey Berserker, been a while :D I've actually taken...Hey Berserker, been a while :D I've actually taken a break from DMC (well, until a couple days ago) thanks to Mass Effect. But nonetheless the urge for action spurred me to play.<BR/><BR/>I managed to get to stage 30 at most so far for Bloody Palace. I am having the same problem I had with DMC3 really -- stage awareness, as usually I only get hurt when I'm blindsided, but that's enough for the enemies to pile combos.<BR/><BR/>But as for tips... I have one for dealing with Mephistos/Fausts as Dante. You already mentioned that Coyote-A does a good job, but you can maximize that ability with Gunslinger. You can literally jump right into their cloaks and fire off an Air Fireworks. One will quickly take care of a Mephistos' cloak, and three for the Fausts. The little jump you get from using it is especially helpful with being quick on the Fausts.<BR/><BR/>I suggest using Gilgamesh and following up with that diving kick :)<BR/><BR/>Also, for Alto Angelos, I'm sure you've found that after you get of the usual two hits/two combos, they'll bring up the shield pretty much every time. If you're aiming for style (or not, depending on how you look at it), it only takes two sets of 3 Gun Stingers to break the shields. This will let you break the shields which generally boosts you one full style, regardless of the fact that you look like a masher doing 6 Gun Stingers in a row XD<BR/><BR/>Also, on the encounters with Blitz enemies that stand still after appearing (like on the way out of the forest with Dante, or Stage 19 on BP), Over Drive works well in reducing their shield. Those're few and far between though. I've also found that Lucifer is good for this. Two full sets (30 swords) are enough to take off the shield. It just takes a little patience and timing with Bondage, since it auto-locks on the target.<BR/><BR/>Those're just some tips I've found. Thanks for showing me the way of Distortion too :D It's made a huge difference in making Gilgamesh even more fun.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08274232327749685671noreply@blogger.com
