Changelogs
Version 3.0
Minimum 'Max Skills' required for v3.0 increased to 68
Added new skill Spiral Slash (Inputs: X-Y): Low damage, AOE crowd control. Especially useful when you're surrounded by a horde in Battahl.
Added new skills Rising Star Instant/Rapid Slash Instant (Inputs: LCtrlStick-X or Y): Able to be used during other attacks/combos to improve fluidity at increased stamina cost/less damage. (Using these during any of the Judgement Cuts will cause the shells to get stuck, doing another Judgement Cut will reset them.)
Updated visuals for Rapid Slash, as well as making it work more like DMC i.e. lingering slashes causing multiple hitstop instances.
Added the last half of the Aerial Rave B combo (Inputs: (Airborne)X-X-Y-Y)
Optimised how the 'Air Juggle' works: Keeping enemies in place during air time has now been moved to the (Airborne) 'X' and 'Y' attacks rather than Rising star and Upper Slash, allowing you to keep them airborne longer as long as you keep attacking.
Improved Block Counters.
Updated visuals of Judgement Cut End.
Fixed some of the shells getting stuck causing persistent noise. Blistering Blades and Heavy Rain Blades will still cause this noise if cancelled too quickly.
First off: Massive thanks to alphaZomega for pretty much the best mod in this game, making all this possible.
IMPORTANT! ONLY WORKS WITH SKILLMAKER v1.18 This was 90% completed before the new SkillMaker v1.19 update, unfortunately it seems the new v1.19 update has broken some of the skills. I may get round to fixing them sometime soon (maybe).
Install: Fluffy Mod Manager (Recommended) Install SkillMaker and all its dependencies Drag and drop Vergil.zip into Fluffy Mod Manager Select the Skillsets in SkillMaker, checkbox 'Clear Skills on Load' and 'Load with Controls'
SkillMaker Settings: A Minimum of 65 68 (for v3.0) 'Max Skills' is required for Yamato, make sure to load controls with skillset and set modifiers to L2 and R2. I also recommend Dpad left and Dpad Right for easy switching between the two skillsets (I play without pawns)
Controls: Swapping light and heavy attacks to anything other than X and Y is highly recommended (required for Lucifer/Beowulf to prevent drawing weapon) to stop them interrupting the skills with the base game light/heavy attacks. I swapped them to LT and RT since they're not used as often.
Recommended/Required Mods Yamato Transmog: Many effects were based off of the blades length (also hiding/unequipping shield helps) Custom Difficulty Tweaks: Enemies would die far too quickly without adjusting damage taken Lock-On Combat with Dodge: Many useful tools, but specifically changing camera distance and freeing up a button (Right Joystick Click) by disabling Camera Reset.
Yamato I wanted to make most of the skills flow into the basic light/heavy attacks rather than as separate skills, so remembering the button combinations during combos is essential.
Inputs will be based on an Xbox Controller (sorry KBM users)
