Vergil

"Power... I need more power..."

- Vergil

Vergil is an antagonist from the Devil May Cry series. He appears in PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale II as a playable character. His in-game rival is Evil Cole.

Biography
MIGHT CONTROLS EVERYTHING.

The eldest half-human, half-demon son of the legendary demon Sparda, Vergil's only desire is to obtain more power. Discarding his human heritage and having mastered his sword Yamoto, Vergil will stop at nothing in his pursuit of his goals regardless of the consequences, even if it means killing his own brother.

THE LEGACY OF VERGIL:
 * Devil May Cry
 * Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening
 * DmC: Devil May Cry

Opening
Vergil has found that no demons have given him even an ounce of challenge. With that, he begins to find battling them pointless, for their weaknesses would not make him any stronger. Vergil instead sets his sights on fighting a "supreme being", whom he wonders is as powerful as the rumors seem to suggest. With that goal, he leaves to faraway lands, knowing he shall encounter many opponents also vying to battle him. Ready to remove Yamoto from its sheathe, he will show no mercy to those that try to stop him.

Rival
Name: Evil Cole

Reason:

Connection: Both seek more power no matter what the costs, with Vergil assisting in raising the tower without any regards as to the loss of life that would result from it, and Evil Cole more than willing to use the Ray Sphere to kill even more people and gain more power. Both have also forsaken their humanity, with Vergil devoting himself to his demonic heritage, and Evil Cole seeing himself as "above" humanity. When Vergil becomes corrupted, his pale skin and dark blue veins are somewhat similar to Evil Cole's appearance. Both are also polar opposites in some respects; despite being an antagonist, Vergil still has a code of honor while Evil Cole has no honor.

Gameplay
Like his younger brother Dante, Vergil's attacks are based around different functions with each button, with Yamoto attacks with the  button, Summoned Sword attacks with the  button, and unique abilities with the  button. With that said, both are quite different. Unlike his brother, his  attacks actually can cause some stun.

Once a Summoned Swords ability is in use, no other  attacks can be used until the current one has expired. This also applies to his Level 3.
