Project X Zone 2 Vergil new custom Stinger and Judgement Cut animations
1I was kind of annoyed that Vergil in Project X Zone 2 doesn't have any animations using Force Edge, so I used the Summoned Sword sprite to make a new animation for his sprites using Stinger and Million Stabs with Mirage Edge, DMC 5 style. I also decided to make a new animation for Judgement Cut, as the one in game isn't animated, just a static image moved around with some vfx over lays. Then I decided to try throwing in Doppelganger while I was at it for full DMC 5 effect.
The hair sweep at the start is an existing animation taken right from Project X Zone 2, but everything else is entirely new animations using custom sprites I made by modifying and combining pieces from various other sprites into new poses. these new poses are then animated in sequence to create the new animations. Each custom sprite is made of anywhere from 4 to 8 visual layers.
This was my first attempt at doing something like this, between creating the new sprites and then animating the video this took me around 80 hours to do. I made this years ago but it never occurred to me to post it to my channel before. With the DMC anime finally getting some news, figured now was as good a time as ever for some DMC animation of my own.
With the exception of the Judgement Cut sphere and the lightning during Stinger, everything here was created by modifying elements of Vergil's sprite sheet from Project X Zone 2 on 3ds. Here's the source I got the unmodified sprite sheet from: https://www.spriters-resource.com/3ds/projectxzone2/sheet/78496/
The Judgement Cut sphere was made from a modified part of Trish's HUD in DMC 4 SE. The lightning on the Stinger animation is also made from 4SE Trish's HUD, being the lightning assets that arc across her DT meter when transformed, just recolored to blue.
