Learn to use Trickster and dodge. All his moves have clear audio and visual queues and long startup. Borgil is literally easier than his version from 3 because of the QoL changes and just how huge the arena is.

You can't just rely on Trickster. Mastering Royalguard is essential to beat Vergil.

Maybe you need motivation.

I didn't even need to use Royal Guard. I just kept dashing and jumping with Trickter and I beat him easily. His doppelganger is the only issue but it has low health that it barely matters if you keep running around and using firearms and the occassional stinger.

use SDT to win

just parry, royalguard is fucking broken and easy in this game

You can completely rape him with Royal guard. Its a fucking joke

He actually follows almost exactly the same pattern; he attacks, gets worn out, and allows you to have a small opening to attack him.

Real players dont wait for the window, though, and royal guard or punish him just for attacking.

He's the easier of all encounters in the series

i beat him with nero today without even letting him go into DT until the last 10%, shit was cash
but basically abuse color up/charge shot and punch line
on dante abuse royal guard or trickster it's literally that easy

Royalguard.
Jump with balrog when he uses summoned swords.

I just used break age buster arm. Broken.

How the fuck do you do that? I managed to prevent him from DTing one time and shredded his health down to 1/4, but I have absolutely no idea how I did it.

I brought a single buster arm to get easy big dick damage on the first stagger phase but accidentally grabbed him with regular buster instead so I just blew it up after the animation to get to punch line. SOS btw, couldn't get out of his first judgment cut end in time so that's all the damage I took too, still didn't get that S
no idea, I assume it has to do with constantly delivering damage and sending him into the punch line hit animation and staying close enough to force him to attack whenever he's not punch lined so his AI doesn't get into a position where it thinks it should use DT

I brought all buster arms. every buster did like 20% of his hp on SoS

unironically royal guard , also remove weapons you dont need. I rocked only dsd and balrog for the fight

He's only kinda tough in Son of Sparda and further. Just practice and pay attention, his patterns are really obvious.

No it isn't. Learning RG (not even mastering) is essential to most for S-ranking it, but there are many ways to beat him.

This

Took me 30ish tries.
Shit was crazy. Royal Guard & Trickster.

Shut the fuck up, Onsokumaru.

I found him easier than he was in 3, most of the strategies, like stinger into him during judgement cut for a hitstun work exactly the same.

tfw I feel like I cheesed the fight by constantly using round trip and then swapping to balrog and punching him

Vergil in 3 was way harder on account of how fucking fast his attacks came out and the split half seconds you have to either Trickster out of or RG. He guards way more and punishes you way more for rushing in. Not to mention he recovers health in DT, and you had to knock him out of DT with 3 Killer Bees 90% of the time or all your goddamn progress is gone.

Though that might just be me remembering it on Turbo mode on Very Hard and DMD.

Ill post a video for you OP on how I beat him with some commentary. Hopefully it will help you a bit
