Hello and welcome to today's combat guide about Devil May Cry 3!
.
Quick Disclaimer: This is NOT a 'Combo' guide. It is not focused on 'stylish' PLAY. This is about efficiency-focused play style.
.
In today's combat guide, we dive extensively deep into DMC3's unknown. Explaining the combat philosophy and fun zone, then expanding on the systems that give us the ultimate combat experience of the game. I'll be demonstrating everything with examples and clear detail. I hope the guide helps even if at the slightest. DMC3 is a game that has been covered throughout the years regarding its depth and mechanics, but I felt like making this combat guide that sorta has all the stuff in one spot, and additionally, has demonstrations for things.
