>>4390882why is Vergil so hard to get right?The hair and that coat.
You need a lace or false front wig which lots of people have no idea what that is nor can afford it. They also don't know how to make their own.
That coat is evil. It has piped seams on it that travel up the slits, to the arm then to the button closures. Then it has a rolled collar which has to be tailored in cause most patterns will make a mandarin collar.
It is fully lined so you better get that pattern right.
Lastly is that large long thorn design which you need to paint on perfectly or embroider.
Add to it that because Dante uses a lot of leather they think Vergil would to. No idea why. So you have people working with leather when they don't know how or choosing vinyl when it is cheaper but too stiff.
Oh and boots, so many people don't bother with brown boots. He's wearing a lot of black so they figure they can use boots they already have from another costume.
There is a lot to get right and techniques beyond your average cosplayer
