This series needs to go back to its roots. "Combo video" watching steam bronies ruined this series. Devil May Cry is supposed to be a tough, atmospheric, dark hack and slash that borders on a singleplayer fighting game. Not a retarded anime dummy simulator where the goal is to keep your opponent in a retarded state of hitstun while not actually damaging them in any significant way.
If you GENUINELY think flashing colors and juggling opponents endlessly in the air is more impressive than hard reads, heavy hitting combos and meaningful execution that goes beyond flair, you should go back to DmC. That is literally what you wanted so go back to playing it instead of pretending to be the DMC audience.
