As many have seen, these past days some people made a thread about a mobile game we all are familiar with thanks to the endless controversies pertaining its existence.
As of right now, they have applied said thread to the profiles without any real justification but the real problem lies on the nature of the game. I'll attempt to explain the mobile game, it's main and side stories and why it should not scale to our profiles.
What is Peak of Combat
As explained in the official discord server: It's "a mobile action RPG based on Capcom’s Devil May Cry franchise, featuring familiar characters, stylish combat, and gacha mechanics. Officially licensed by Capcom and developed by NebulaJoy." However they also explain that this game is NOT connected to the main DMC series' story.
As many of you know Peak of Combat or PoC for short, had a troubled development with the original 1.0 - 1.4 versions until the untimely end and subsequent release of the 2.0 versions.
PoC 1.0 had all sort of canon labels as explained in one of the original 1.0 threads that was made when we were under the impression of the fake scans being real. Now if you go the site or you check the links used in the thread, they are blank or the description has changed to basically being a game that tries to reproduce DMC for mobiles.
From what I understand, the team from capcom that was present during the supervision was there for the 1.0 version. Here is the original description for the 1.0 versions which can't be found anywhere for the Global/2.0 version.
PoC's original story
PoC original story added a lot of things, including a new original story for Vergil shortly after his defeat by Dante in DMC3.
The 2.0 version of the game reuses part of the original story from the defunct 1.0 version, however it is incomplete, landing at 14 missions and several cutscenes being deleted when the original had 18 missions and a story that was actually coherent.
To summarize 2.0 PoC story: During a demonic invasion Dante is hired to protect a relic (The Book of Demons) and at the same time he has to find clues about Vergil who seems to be alive and out of hell but in reality it is Plutone trying to lure Dante to the seal that holds Medea in order to free her. At the end Plutone and Medea escape through a portal that shows Vergil. This is later expanded on the side stories as Vergil is actually alive, okay and not under Mundus control and to top it all of making deals with Plutone for unknown reasons.
There are many side stories and making an essay explaining all of them and their connections will take time so here is a summary I made long ago.
As it should be obvious, the story is wildly different from what we know from main canon DMC, hence why they explicitly said its NOT connected to the main DMC stories.
What does this mean for scaling?
Obviously this parallel universe should not be used to scale the main DMC profiles. In, lets say "canon", there are no feats that come close to what Hellfilth is doing (collapsing the multiverse), not only that but they also lack the range to reach parallel universes.
In "canon" the only time someone has been able to contact or reach parallel universes has been when the Beastheads banished Dante and Beryl into a parallel universe in which Mundus killed Sparda and took over the world. Chen for his part has only cosmic awareness wanting to see beyond all possible dimension and time which is a far cry from what Hellfilth did.
To make it short, just like the parallel universe from Volume 2, anything that is "common" to demons should be able to cross scale to main DMC's demonic energy as long as it isn't contradictory but specific powers, abilities or tiers should not as obviously we don't scale characters to alternative universes counterparts (Trish and Mundus as examples of this).
PoC Characters should get their own profiles if people want to make them but it shouldn't scale to main. That's all, have a good day.
