Easy fix, switching cancels the currently active Break Age (if one is active). Canceling is the bread and butter of DMC, after all.

Well damn. I wonder how many tries it took.

Ragtime's Time Bubble isn't a Break Age is its standard move. It only affects one enemy. Its Break Age is Quicksilver/Time Stop.
Not everything is cancel....able*cough*Maximum Bet*cough*Showdown*cough*. You can perform Round Trip with one weapon and stun lock an enemy and switch to another weapon and the sword won't return upon switching. The Time Bubble/Time Stop is like that but it works much more faster, instantaneous, and probably work on guarded/shielded enemies. If the affects of the Time Bubble wears off upon switching it lowers the window to follow up with another Breaker action. Not so sure how Ragtime 100% works but I do know using the Break Age move causes you to go to the next Breaker and Quicksilver is still in effect. So if the Time Bubble is like that then you can switch to another Breaker and perform an action before the Time Bubble disappears and due to how it is now this strategy can't be abused/spammed but still utilized.
Personally I prefer a cycling method so we can determine what Breaker comes next rather than tying 4 of them to the d-pad. Hence I would like the idea of Pasta Breaker as a mechanic and not a goddamn DLC. They can **** off with that. I like the idea of being able to hold up to 8 Breakers at once cuz it does open up more combat and customization possibilities.
Besides considering the fact in the Void you can have it set so DB can never break it seems that could allude to a function for the Super Modifier/Costume or some other mechanic that makes DB unbreakable*cough*DevilTrigger*cough*....and if not you can practice your combos in the Void.

Pardon, I was thinking of a different term, but well, it's not like you can't do Rag Time, then Break Away and use another Breaker while something is stopped.

Is it bad that I knew that was there since the first demo? lol

Uhhhmmm maybe I guess. We haven't seen RagTime in action so I can't clarify if the Time Bubble stays around after Break Away. What are you trying to get at again?

Considering the effect of Punch Line ends if you're hit while it's detached, I doubt using Break Away to combo Ragtime into another Breaker would work very well.
Stylish Nero

Well the effect of Punch Line is the arm itself whereas the Time Bubble is an energy mass created by Ragtime. Not confirming it will stay in effect once you switch via Break Away but its not the same case as Punch Line and even the Quicksilver Time Stop of Ragtime Break Age is still in effect after its destroyed meaning the energy can still reside after its gone and the only reasons why the Time Bubble wouldn't do the same would be for "balance (no fun)" reason. The Time Bubble doesn't even last that long anyway.

So this was enlightening, but also contradicts some info we received previously.
Near the end of the video has Nico say "You must be V, right?" as if she's never seen him before in her life, but we were previously told that V was raised by Nico's family, and that's why they have the same tattoos. So...uh...no?

That was just a rumor probably. I don't think the devs ever mentioned it themselves. Who knows at this point? Maybe they are both running a con on Dante/Nero? Ala Naomi/Gray Fox.
Honestly im hoping its not true because i like V and hate Nico so they are better off seperate.

A. I'm not watching that. I've seen too much.
B. Those were just leaks/rumors, a lot of which has been disproven or false in the past
C. V's tattoos are nothing like Nico's tattoos. The only relevance they have toward each other is the fact one of Nico's tattoos has a William Blake quote.
Although considering how much Itsuno is hyping up Nico and certain evidence shown so far there is a chance the two would develop some sort of odd relationship over the course of the story.

Yeah, Nico seems like the weakest of the new characters because she just doesn't seem like a likeable person. She's loud, has her priorities way out of whack (making Nero pay for the DBs in the middle of a freaking apocalypse) and is honestly kind of a dick.

She's meant to be the comic relief which is fine but she often falls into cringe. Maybe she'll get better as we play the game.
I can see her as a jerk but that wouldn't be out of place for DMC. They all can be jerks, Nero, especially. Check out the Gaming Sins video for DMC4.
I actually thought a scene where she and V are arguing magic versus science so that's where I want them to go.

Not so sure about that but there is a scene in one of the recent vids where V kills Goliath and tosses the last piece of him to Nico and she proceeds to make something with it. Probably Punchline.
Also, one of the bosses V fights Nidhogg has the exact same drill appendages that are seen on Helter Skelter but modeled a bit differently and black as well as the fact he also fights Geryon who is probably used to make Ragtime as well. So it seems some of the bosses V faces he takes a piece of them to give to Nico so she can make more Breakers for Nero to make him stronger so he can defeat Urizen because after Dante was defeated and left behind V resorted to using Nero to kill Urizen (hence why Griffin asked if he believed Nero can kill Urizen) since Dante (at the time) can no longer do it. Seeing how Nico's panties got wet after she got a piece of Goliath and V probably needs her as much as he needs Nero.
So the 3 have an interesting working relationship.
Don't forget Griffin talks and has enough of a mouth that even Dante finds him annoying.
