Rather than instantly appearing around the opponent, the Judgement Cut travels and homes in on the target, tracing a visible line on the floor when performed on the ground. In Devil May Cry 5, Judgement Cut is once again one of Vergil's techniques with the Yamato, now appearing as a black and blue distortion ripple. Perfect Slice makes the slashes an orange glow. A perfect frame, midair Judgement Cut looks the same but is released instantly.ĭmC: Devil May Cry, Vergil slashes once, usually to knock an enemy back and a vortex of slashes with a blue glow appear.
When using the frame perfect Judgement Cut, Vergil stands in place and instantly releases the attack, and the vortex has more slashes in it. While in the air, Vergil is stationary while using a similar stance as when on the ground. The execution is exactly the same but the attack itself appears a vortex of purple energy in which slashes with a blue glow form inside. In Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition, Judgement Cut returns as a part of Vergil's moveset. Pillars of light appear at the intended distance over a large area and explode. Much like Vergil before him, Dante slides back and quickly releases a flurry of slashes. In Devil May Cry 4, Dante uses Yamato to perform a a very similar attack called Slash Dimension. A cone shaped distortion protrudes outward from Vergil and within that distortion forms a dark purple orb that causes a a more intense visual distortion that is then covered in slashes. In Devil May Cry 3, Vergil slides back and slashes so quickly that he appears to only unsheath and resheath Yamato.
Yamato uses its space cutting properties to attack enemies at a distance from the user.
