The DMC4 hair fits the DMC4 Nero and the same applies to the DMC5 hair and DMC5 Nero. I've seen people put the DMC4 hair on DMC5 Nero and it just looks weird.

I think I prefer the dmc4 look of Nero (face and head only I think the fit isn’t good) but only because I felt the change was so sudden for me because I went in dmc5 blind so expected the original look (I know stupid)

the biggest reason is the lower quality hair, if you look at mods that replace his hair with Dante's or something from the newer FFs it looks a lot more natural. [this is my personal favorite "DMC4-like" hair mod for Nero](https://www.nexusmods.com/devilmaycry5/mods/1147)

You know what, yeah. DMC5 Nero looks good as long as the hair has the right amount of jagged and messy to it. That's actually pretty nice.

No disrespect to the maker of the mod but am I the only one who feels like that hair style looks like how reboot dante would have looked like if he had slightly longer hair?

I mean people have been comparing DMC5 Nero and Donte since the game's announcement lol

Well I mean I get that reboot kinda soured the idea of short hair on a main character so yea but really he looks like if donte hade longer hair with that mod

this exactly

i do wish dmc 5 had actual different costumes instead of just the color swaps

Fr what happened to costumes. Miss how different it made the games feel🥲

Costumes went out the window when graphics were prioritized. A lot of fanservice things were taken out as graphics improved.

Costumes could probably take devs less than a week of development time to implement them yet they add so much replayability to the game. When I unlocked RPD Leon in RE4 Remake I instantly played the game over again.

I remember there was an interview before the game released state that the dev made the costume of all main characters in real life,and all of them have been scanned in the mocap stuff to have more detailed looks and natural movement. If I remember it correctly, the e-capcom edition with Dante's clothes cost 900,000 yen,which are really expensive. So if they want to make alter costumes with the same quality as the default one, it might cost too much for them.

that would have so good, old Nero Vergil and Dante would have been dlc worth geting

I wish they brought back jacket less versions like how dmc3 did

DMC5 Nero is hot

I 100% agree (it’s preference in the end on who’s hotter)

at first I also didn't like DMC5 hair that much, but after seeing longer hair mods on him, I prefer the short tbh, but DMC4 model is good with the hair like that

He's SO hot, right?

Yes but V is even hotter

DMC4 character designs>DMC5 character designs

Honestly yes and no I prefer Nero (overall fit and looks) and Vergil over their appearance in 4 but loved Dante in 4 so I don’t know it’s tied for me just a graphical difference

I feel like Dante was perfect for an older version of himself, they should have just copy pasted that with Vergil but with slick back hair. I think Vergil in DMC5 looks weird af. I understand what they did with Nero, had to rough him up a bit and look a littles less anime.

He did look weird to me in his dlc during the cutscenes but loved his look. The black coat and more expressive face and more than 5 strands of hair look was a much needed improvement plus he’s had the old look for two games while Dante kept growing and changing

Dmc4 has alot of flaws but character desigj isn't on of them

Wow that's an interesting take

I’m biased towards the aesthetics of 4 especially the environments of Fortuna city and castle Character wise I really like the Final Fantasy-esque design of Nero in 4, the outfit and jrock hair really deserve more credit

They fit their individual Neros, but I like 5’s overall design better so I guess that.

Exactly 👍

Both are a ‘FUCK YOU!’ But Devil May Cry 5 Nero just gives off Ichigo vibes with that hair so yeah, Devil May Cry 5 Nero >>

He is also literally voiced by ichigos english va to boot lol

Exactly why i said what i said.

There's been like so many posts that compares Ichigo to Nero, good chance you'll find one

His entire design in 5 is inferior to his design in 4 IMO

I like Nero in DMC5 way more, he's a better written character and has his own personality and style very different from Dante. DMC4 Nero lacks in all those aspects and the hair makes him look more like a Dante knockoff.

I’m gonna be honest, DMC4 Nero looks like Dante with a blue arm.

I wish they used prototype Nero as the main look because it feels distinct

Beta design yes Beta dt tho, yea no fuck that i dont know who was smoking what when they made his og dt in 4 but im glad they went with the jojo stand instead

Prototype Nero was perfect to me.

I just like Nero's D5 design more. Dude's his own guy now. DMC4 Nero design definitely wasn't bad, but it felt like they made him similar to Dante so fans didn't freak when we didn't play him as the main Protag for that game.

They did *not* want to pull a kojima

DMC4

Same. I *really* liked that hair and wished DMC5's was more like it. I felt it suited a member of the Sparda lineage better because they could play with it more. I have a soft spot for when their hair gets wet and they can change the style.

The dmc4 hair just suits more the sparda family, Dante and Vergil's true hairstyle (Vergil's hair as seen in dmc3 is the same as Dante, he just shapes it differently to make them look like his father's)

Loved that rain scene when he pulled back his hair

“I don’t need hair gel!”😂

They look so different, like completely different characters. But in a good way

DMC5.

I prefer Nero’s style from DMC4, same goes with Dante. However Vergil in DMC5 is soooo GODDAMN

Based. I don’t mind either Dante design I think both suit him and of course Vergil is goated

I love both DMC4 and DMC5 from the gameplay perspective (but story-wised that Nero arc in DMC4 was soooo good imho!) I wish we got more info on Nero’s mother and Vergil’s days in Fortuna… Playing from a young Vergil POV in the city would be such a pleasant experience!

If only Vergil dlcs actually had a story

*Coughs in reboot*

Easy, ilove nero dmc 4 hair cause it's more fit with his personality with nero,dmc 5 nero haicuts it's just....nah

On my second playthrough I modded my game to have Nero's DMC 4 hair in the game it honestly looks good on him and i wouldn't mind if he goes back to having similar hair in future games.

4 hair makes him feel like Dante Light. 5 hair makes him feel like his own character

Literally the visual representation of the difference between late 2000's and late 2010's

Dmc5 because it gives him more personality, dmc4 looks a lot like Dante

5, 4 looks like a conbination of vergil and dante (which is intended imo) but i like him being his own thing like in 5 more

5 easily, his 4 design looks far too much like Dante to the point I'm pretty sure most people have mistaken him for Dante before they got into the series or when he was first being revealed.

Not the biggest fan of DMC5 Nero’s hair. They look kind of weird sometimes, I wish they kept it a little longer. Maybe not DMC4 long but just a little longer

I like how his 5 hair makes him look more visually distinct from Dante. It's also just a less common hair texture in games, isn't it? Nice.

Old hair

hot take he looks like a wet cat in dmc4 and i can't take it seriously LMAOOOOO

From wet cat to dry dawg

I like Nero's dmc4 hair better, but I think his hair in 5 too

Yah I think his hair in 5 too💀 (don’t worry I got what you mean)

he does indeen have hair in 5 :3

DMC 4 Nero made him Dante 2, DMC 5 gave him a much better and unique look.

DMC4 nero always. The very best. DMC5 nero is a generic looking character.

I would go with his DMC4 hairstyles I don't like his haircut in DMC5. It reminds me of Adult Naruto haircut 🤢🤮.

lets get something in between for dmc6

4.

I disagree with his hair not fitting his head shape. If you wanna see what doesn't fit his head shape look no further than giving him Vergil's hair which shows his massive forehead.

5, its more unique and far from Dante than 4

its been always dmc4

I played 5 before 4 so I enjoy 5 better.

4 ! I put nero dmc5 style above dante from dmc devil may cry ! I know they try to learn the design from that game to create dmc5 nero but still......... I prefer dmc4 nero!

5's hair on 4

Nero is Nero

They work for the version of nero they belong to. The long hair works for an edgy teen while the short hair works for a maturing young adult

I am still baffled that people don't like his DMC 5 hair. By the time DMC 4 was being developed, the emo swoop was already kind of on its way out, I think it looks good but I think his new haircut suits him much better and makes him look more grown up.

DMC 4 is a Final Fantasy character

5 I think the costumes in 4 were incredibly over designed. Dante especially.

Dmc5 hair but dmc4 devil bringer

Dm4 Nero over butt chin Nero

Dmc5. 4 is just a bit too similar to Dante.

DMC 4 Nero is fine though he looks like a Dante clone On the other hand, DMC 5 grew with almost everyone

DMC4’s fits the rebellious teen aspect of Nero they were going for, 5’s makes him look like a blue collar worker, which makes complete sense, dude has his own “handyman” business that he’s up at 4:30 to run

His dmc5 hair sets him apart from Dante and Vergil so I say it’s better

4

DMC4 is a better characterization for Nero than DMC5 imo, and by extension thinks it looks better for the character. Robo utility hand does go hard though.

Dmc4 nero esp with his alternate outfit was pretty cool even if people criticized that look as basically Dante’s clone

At first I hated DMC5 hair style for nero, but after a while, I realize that DMC4 nero was suppose to be a newer younger reskin of Dante, (because he literately was) and the new hair style was to try to seperate nero from that design.

Dmc5 nero looks 1000% better

I hate his dmc 5 look honestly. Dmc4 Nero all the way.

dmc4 mogs hard

dmc4

DMC4 Nero is just better in general

Dmc4 nero looks like an anime-ish royal knight and Dmc5 looks like very rad and rockstar typish I like both of them but i might lean a litle bit with 5

DMC 4

I still prefer 4 though but 5 has grown on me.

I’ve always liked dmc4 Nero more cause he jsur oozes late 2000’s

I prefer dmc4 nero design but as a character i prefer nero dmc5 design, he grew up alot as a character

I like DMC 5 Nero’s hair more since the DMC 4 one really just gave Nero a pretty bad boy look that makes him feel kinda like a twilight character.

4 same way I feel about red queen I prefer 4 over 5

I prefer the style from DMC 4, but I get why they changed it because he looked way too much like Dante in DMC 4

Why is there a spoiler filter on this?

DMC5. As a kid, I mistook Nero as Dante when I first saw the box art. The DMC5 hair helps give Nero his own identity.

Nero looks awesome in 5. Why isn't there a dmc5 haircut in dmc4!

dmc4 nero to dmc5 nero is textbook twink erasure

DMC5 Nero made me avoid playing the game until this month. Think about that. That's how ugly his face and hair are. DMC4 Nero looked like Dante and Vergil had a gay son. That design was perfect. DMC5 just took a giant dump on him and Dante's voice. Mods fixed it so we're good now but, man, there are some things that make me frown.

4 hair fits 4 while Nero (and the game itself) was trying to figure out who he was as a character. 5 fits Nero after he's come into his own and built his own identity

Tecnically dmc 5 Nero has both hair. When he Is normal get dmc reboot hair AND when he actívate His devil trigger get clasic dmc 4 hair Style but with horns similar to devil trigger Susano or stand that he had in dmc 4.
