He could also bring almost anything Dante could have in terms of gimmicks (combos, Devil Trigger, between some others) with the exception of the styles (that honestly I usually don't like those fanon Dante's moveset that uses the Style gimmick., mainly because they try to change all his special moves and even his normales that actually makes his moveset more limited than variante).

You can say that Vergil would be "a generic swordsman" and you will be totally wrong, because.did you even see what Vergil can do even with just three weapons? The main reason why I would even think on include Vergil over Dante is his gameplay, sure maybe Vergil lacks Dante's variety of weapons but he compesates it with something in particular and it's his technique.

Has I said before you can perfectly say that DMC's plots is about Vergil and you would be right, Vergil is always present in a way or other into the story, in DMC1 he appears has Nelo Angelo, part of the reason why Dante has a drastic chance in DMC2 is because Vergil, in DMC3 Vergil appears physically and the plot is about how Dante must stop him, Vergil's son is the protagonist of DMC 4 and 5, in DMC4 his sword is an important key in the game and in DMC5 Vergil is the only reason why Dante was even interesed to take the job, so not only in fan popularity but in terms of the game's story Vergil is relevant enough to be considered a good replace of the other son of Sparda. Even if Dante is cool (and I would love to see him) Vergil isn't a bad election in terms of popularity. Vergil is the most popular character of the franchise, you can note it just searching how many memes, fanarts, etc are of him, everyone loves Bury the Light and everyone hates (and at the same time love) how broken he is in Marvel vs Capcom 3, and the proper Capcom tends to use him has the main push for buy the Special Edition's of the games. Probably the question most people would be doing the moment they looked this, why you should include he instead of Dante who is the protagonist?, well, first for all, is kinda fair to say that Capcom doesn't care about Dante's status has the protagonist since the actual games even if include him in the poster it's Nero who should be considered the protagonist, yet even then this doesn't answer the question of why we should add him over Dante or even Nero, well I think there are two reasons why he must be at least considerated. You can even say that even when Vergil doesn't appear he is always related in some way to the plot. The first appearence of Vergil wasn't actually completely has himself but a brainwashed version called Nelo Angelo, his more well-know portrayal appeared in the third game Dante's Awakening where he is the main antagonist of the game, in Devil May Cry 4 he had a pseudo-canonical appearence has a playable character in the Special Edition of the game and reappears once again in Devil May Cry 5 being the main antagonist (and also the villain) this time. Vergil is one of the sons of Sparda the Legendary Dark Knight and the human Eva apart of the twin brother of Dante, Vergil was always be portrayed has his opposite being their main difference how Dante rejected his inner demon embracing his human heritage meanwhile he constantly denies his humanity searching the power that his demonic blood can provide.
