I suppose it IS possible that Satan tricked them, or rather, just didnt tell them the whole truth- since it was true- those holy sports WERE able to shed them of their bodies and dark sides so that they ascended into heaven as pure and spiritual beings- but he DIDNT tell them, that the process did so by splitting them into two beings each, with their "dark sides" remaining on earth.

Now, I dont quite recall, but each of their "throne rooms" as it were, each of their lairs, was one of those holy places no? I just dont remember how the God Mask came into the picture. They never really explain how it comes to be or why defeating the lords gives Gabe the pieces.

Some one know whats are the others sub weapons that trevor is going to use? (i know now 2: the boomerang and the Electric bomb) there are a lot of pages and i dont have the time to read all

[Inccubus]

One thing that I know has and will continue to bug me about this whole thing is how loosely they use the term "fate".

Websters d: "the will or principle or determining cause by which things in general are believed to come to be as they are or events to happen as they do"

By this logic, you could say that the "will" of the Brotherhood of Light could be determined as "Fate", since it is through them that Marie comes to believe that things will go as they may. The mirror simply acts as an extension of their will, because let's face it, until then it'd been only use to teleport people.

Fate is what you make of it. Marie believed that fate was defined by a group of dodgy old men and a ancient device used to make Brundle-Flies. (and if you get that reference, you're +1 in my book)

Ha! That's the most awesome reference I've heard in a while and I think Rovert fit's the bill. I think I'll go add that ilm to my Halloween movie folder on my Wii. Maybe the sequel too.

You know what this confirms? Everyone uses whips. Fucking wow.

Makes sense to me since they're all Belmonts. At least we'll have lots of other cool secondary weapons / abilities amongst each of the characters.

I wonder what whip Gabriel is using since he broke his original one...

The dark energy whip from the trailer?

It looked like he was holding an actual handle, though...

[Kingshango]

I looked again, he's holding the exact same same combat cross that he destroyed.

Either he got a new one or it's a flashback prior to the events of the first game.

Also, this is probably all we're gonna see of this game till Febuary/March.

Adventure Time looks awesome 

[Chernabogue]

Nice to see this! I'm excited!

You're right, and it's more than likely a flashback of events prior to LOS1. Upon an even closer inspection, he's not wearing the gauntlet from the Black Knight and the chain has no spikes.

[DarkPrinceAlucard]

Makes sense to me since they're all Belmonts.

But what about Alucard?

What reason was there to give him a whip?

In the Mirror of Fate artwork Alucard had his sword, and now Cox is just going to make up something about him not getting it until LOS2?

What a tease!

[Kingshango]

Remember, the Alucard in this saga is just Trevor Belmont turned super demon.

Is that confirmed?

I know it is hinted at heavily, but I don't recall it being confirmed.

And even if he is that has nothing to do with what I said.

I asked why this Alucard has a whip in the game even though in the Mirror of Fate artwork he is clearly shown with a sword.

Even the magazine cover has him with a sword.

And now Cox just goes and say "oh, he doesn't get it until LOS2".

So pretty much it was 1 big freaken tease and now we are just going to have a game full of people using only whips.

It would have been nice to have atleast one character have a different main weapon other than whips.

I get that they have different secondary weapons, but I was looking forward to some sword gameplay.
