Dante has three styles of fighting--human, angel, and demon. They were all on display in that video, and they're done by holding R1 and pressing/holding a single button, seemingly. It's been very simplified from DMC3 and DMC4. Also worth noting was how easy it was for whoever was playing to maintain S rank combos. I'm sure for some people it might even look more appealing, but I have a very high standard with DMC, so the more gameplay I see the less enthusiastic I am about the game. I was originally pretty forgiving, too.
I think you posted the wrong video because 1. I didn't notice the 3 fighting styles. 2. The highest he got was to A rank and it didn't seem "too easy" at all. He was constantly comboing and not getting hit for a good 45 seconds to get to A-- and while the combos generally only hit one guy, they did mix it up enough that that's about how quick you expect it to be in the other DMC games, even only hitting one guy. (you can hit SSS a lot quicker than that if you're comboing multiple enemies)
I mean I'll take your word for it that a video exhibits the flaws you're saying, for now, but it isn't that one.
