Slash Dimension C, one of the Dark Slayer moves in Devil May Cry 4.
The Dark Slayer Style is Vergil's personal style in Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition, and one of Dante's styles in Devil May Cry 4. As a warrior fallen from grace, Vergil can use the power of darkness to obtain new weapons and skills by leveling the style.[1] The style itself performs much like Dante's Trickster Style.[2]
In Devil May Cry 4, Dante obtains this style after receiving Yamato, but instead of being based on teleportation, it allows Dante to replicate a few of Vergil's skills with the Yamato.
Gameplay
In Devil May Cry 4, the player can activate Dark Slayer Style by pressing the directional pad to select any normal style, twice in a row. When Dante enters Dark Slayer, he mimes slicking his hair back and shouts "Get Set!", as he is enveloped by a purple aura. When not being used, the Yamato vanishes in a puff of blue smoke. If Dante manages to sheathe Yamato he will gain a full Devil Trigger rune.
