====== Distorting ====== Distortion is one of the core aspects of DMC4 speedrun. It was initially discovered in the original release of Devil May Cry 4 and considered a bug until Capcom released a patch on PC and Distortion was left in the game. ===== General Notes ===== * Only [[dmc4:nero_dante|Dante]] and [[dmc4:vergil|Vergil]] can use trick. * If DT is used during the active frames of any hit, that hit becomes Distorted, and deals more damage. * Depending on the state Human to Devil and vice-versa, player can get either more damage, or get some DT back. * The timing on Full House differs slightly between Vanilla game and Special Edition. ===== Applications ===== * Pretty much any of the boss fight where moves like Real Impact and Rising Dragon trivializes the fight. * [[dmc4:nero_dante|Dante]] uses this trick the most in regular fights with Distorted Full House into Straight to kill Scarecrows fast. Mission 15 heavily relies on this. ===== Video Demonstration =====
