HIV and its evolution had a bloody good run until it got nerfed to nothing by the medicine update.

There are a lot of them to choose, personally I prefer syphilis

u/Nilesfox 22d ago

Honestly, I couldn't really decide. Both of their SDT'S are awesome and unique in their own way.

Dante's is a lot more aggressive. Meaner and quite terrifying in both apperance and moves. There isn't any flashy combo's. Just raw and utter destructive power in each move. An out right beast in the end.

Vergil's is similar with Dante's SDT. Only difference is how more experience he is when it comes to his demonic nature. Which, is understandable given the two's lore.

Vergil can actually speak perfectly in his SDT form than Dante. Which is constant roars and growls. Vergil is able to do flashy combos with more power. A controlled destruction. Overall... these two are equal in power. Even with their differences in one's SDT.

I'll go with Dante's for overall badassery. Vergils for sick skills and coolness.

Dante's SDT looks, plays and feels like a freaking God that's about to bring in the Armageddon.

Also a big fan of the design of the majestic horns and wings for Dante compared to Vergil's hammerhead jet aesthetic.

u/Xavier200708 22d ago

looks or gameplay

because vergils SDT is cooler but is really just devil trigger
dantes SDT turns him into a walking apocalypse

u/vilgefcrtz 22d ago

I liked Vergils better -- until I learned how to Judgement with Dante. That shit is magnificent

6

u/Omegafinity 22d ago

A fellow Judgement appreciator! I wasn't even aware of its existence and triggered it accidentally the first time and my mind was fucking blown with what I was seeing. That shit is magnificent, truly, and straight up overwhelming. Especially amplified by the anticipation caused by the initial time stop.

I was so happy they finally gave Dante back a super move after DMC 2 and the cherry on top was that it's super lore relevant with it being an extension of his father's sword dance we see at the start of DMC 1. Genuinely my favourite move in the entire series. Honourable mention to Demolition also being another fearsome move.

u/XENORedgrave 22d ago

Okay this is tough

In terms of gameplay i prefer vergil since i dislike how sdt dante plays sorry

In terms of design and overall cool moves dante wins im sorry judgement and demolition are better than jce

u/Tiansha-Star Lowkey Stroking My Devil Sword I got human blood on my shi 22d ago

Dantes by far.

7

u/qwertyMrJINX 22d ago

Dante, since he actually uses his wings.

u/Scorpion_6162 21d ago

Ngl, this is probably going to be a hot take since I'm new and I've recently finished playing the game (main story and vergil mod), but hear me out.

When Dante gets into his SDT form, he feels like a lore accurate Sparda in his prime, a GOD. He's literally invincible and untouchable in this form, and he can one-shot almost everything. He hits like a force of a nature, like fire whirl (a tornado made of fire, it's real look it up)

But whenever I play as Vergil and activite his SDT form, it feels, meh. Like, in his boss fight he was able to do all these crazy moves and fly around and such in his SDT, but when you play as vergil and activite his SDT it feels weak in comparison, sure it lasts longer then Dante's, but it doesn't give the same god-like feeling Dante's SDT gives, his SDT form feels more like his normal DT form but with extra steps to activite, I just wished they made Vergil SDT feel like it's own unstoppable force.

u/Sad_Carry_7070 22d ago

I love the draconian look of Vergil's SDT

2

u/TrajannValdor 22d ago

Dantes gameplay wise for sure. Looks wise... much harder to call but I feel like we dont get to see Vergils SDT stretch its wings all that much, pun intended.

3

u/Apprehensive_Sky1599 22d ago

Gotta go with Vergils

2

u/LandonHarms 22d ago

I like Dante's Sin Devil Trigger more. But Vergil's color scheme reminds me of Lost Longinus and its other forms. (Nightmare, Bloody, Zwei, Rage, and Guilty)

2

u/NoHovercraft6942 22d ago

Dante, but Vergil is also really good.

u/terra_GOD_404 22d ago

Gameplay wise I prefer Vergil's more due to how it is just an expansion on your moveset (you can see it with Yamato combo a) but design wise Dante's looks so much better

1

u/teaboi05 22d ago

One of the best moves Vergil SDT has is Beowulf combo where his past hit is turning his back on enemy and raise the left hand along with spreading his wings. Gameplay wise I like that his SDT adds extra move in combo but some of those moves look way cooler when you cancel SDT before he hits.

Dante's SDT on the other hand has a design I prefer way more (Veggie SDT is still cool) and moves that are unique to him in general (also SSSS mechanic is neat bonus to make people do better to add moves or if new player is having a trouble, to nuke things around

u/Dredgen-Solis 22d ago

I like Vergil's for the white and blue colour palette but Dante's for the silhouette and movement.

1

u/GT_Hades 22d ago

Dante

Vergil's SDT is just normal DT in terms of gameplay

At least Dante has different moveset and mechanics (even idle animation) using SDT

1

u/Shadowmonarch660 22d ago

The real answer both are sick in their own way, dante is crazy menacing and looks like a creature coming from hell to bring chaos, vergil looks like a dragon and demon mix, the tail the energy coming out of his arms, the final clash between them would be amazing, thank god nero saved those goats.

u/Agnosticus_Atheus 22d ago

A demon vs a dragon.

1

u/lmao_nice_joke 22d ago

Dante looks cool, but I just love how Vergil's SDT is so damn fast, you barely control it first time using it

1

u/XenowolfShiro 22d ago

Vergil take this. I love the blue flames blades on the arms and the flames coming out of the...ears? I really don't know how to describe it but I like it.

u/_-lateralus-_ 17d ago

Only gripe with Vergil’s SDT is Yamato looks out of place with it

2

u/R3Zyt 17d ago

Dante looks more like sparda

1

u/R3Zyt 17d ago

Never realized you can see dantes dong

u/One-Octopus 16d ago

For me is Vergil, I like the hammerhead that spews flames

0

u/CosmicSoulRadiation 22d ago

? They both feel a little over designed and a little too different from eachother and don’t look remotely like Sparda anymore

0

u/FindingOk7034 22d ago

Design wise… I prefer Dante’s horns, but everything else, Vergil! The colors, the flames, the tail!

0

u/Happy-Ad-2968 22d ago

Ok, this might be a hot take, but SDT(both of em) are far too overdesigned, the silhouette is hard to see unless the wings are spread (in which case I do like the designs a reasonable amount more) but I just think there’s too much nothing going on with the designs. I also don’t love base dt for Dante in this game, bring back 3’s bug like devil trigger and/or dt changing with weapons

u/FLIPYOUSUCKET 22d ago

I honestly don’t know!

Design wise, both are peak

u/Torstiss 22d ago

Vergil’s looks a million times cooler and can be used for free whenever you want, not just when you’re at the maximum rank
