Also, do you know if the HD collection we're getting soon is going to have the SE version of DMC3? And how differently does Vergil play from Dante?
Yes, the Special Edition is going to be released in the HD collection, so you'll be getting to play as Vergil on the go, (or unlock him by playing as Dante first, not sure how it will be when it comes out, but we'll see.) I really loved the DMC3's version of the Bloody Palace, so I can't also wait to give Bloody Palace a run again, my highest record in that was Floor 9997, I had barely beaten Vergil 3 the last time I played it.
As for his play style, I would say it should be suited for those who are into the more advanced combo setups/gameplay for DMC 3 and are looking to be more aggressive. In terms of who of the Sparda twins I play the best, my highest ranked goes to Vergil because of several factors: Only three weapons to use from and change with on the fly by using the both lower shoulder buttons, and they pretty much have simpler attack inputs and faster attack cancels. His DarkSlayer style is good for both quick evading and tracking of an enemy when locked on while his Round Trip and Judgement Cut can be buffed at the same time to abuse and Summoned/Spiral Swords may be weak, but can always be abused/spammed MID combo if you use a custom setting. Discovering what attack properties each attack has along with combining with what you know of DMC 3's combat makes playing Vergil so different than Dante's, his combo potential in this game (and UMVC3, I might add) quite is frightening.
