Devil May Cry 4 - Designing a Great Boss Fight
7,799A very quick look at one of the best rival fights in the Devil May Cry series. Credo's design kicks loads of arse and deserves more praise.
Even just looking at it from Nero's perspective this video won't cover everything. Some little notes I either couldn't fit into the video or forgot while writing the script:
- That third telegraph on the spear also has tighter timing compared to the second one, the startup is much sooner after the second one is thrown.
- Shield breaking isn't consistently at the same amount of health, nor necessarily tied to his new moveset, but with however many times I did this fight for the video it came pretty damn close almost every time.
- Sound design if you throw the spear back is so good, love that crunch.
- The shuffle move is so great if you're trying to land parries, gets you distance from one attack while setting you up to clash with another.
- Hitboxes on this fight are super good. With the way certain attacks change Dante/Nero's positions you can "low profile" him, check 6:50.
Thanks to https://www.youtube.com/user/HyperBitHero and https://www.youtube.com/user/TheGamingBritShow for two little clips I used in the beginning, but mostly https://www.youtube.com/user/CerberusX10 for the awesome Dante v Credo footage. Man kicks ass at DMC4, check him out.
Recommended: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ken8sOu0x-8 - this is the most insane thing I've ever seen someone do in this fight from Dante's perspective. I mostly focused on Credo's moveset in this video but if you want proof of just how much you can do with Dante, this is that video.
