Alright. So my plan was to roll, dodging Mary's sword, turn back, grab Mary by the leg, holster the hammer, and then swing her into Gomory.

Well, Mary's still not actually attacked, and what you describe would be autohitting against Kafka's character, but I'm fine with seeing how that might play out.

You fight Lady late in DMC3, though. If you haven't gotten gud at the game, she'd boot even an upgraded Dante's ass up and down the street. Hell, you can [i]control[/i] her, and she's as much of an ass-kicker as Dante and Vergil are.

True, true.  There's something to be said for gameplay and story segregation, and I still don't think Lady is remotely an equal combatant to Dante, but I will give credit where credit is due: she's pretty cool.
