While possessing Alucard, Satan does not appear to use any of the vampire's native abilities. His moveset is completely different from how Alucard moves, he uses a blade completely different in size, shape, and function compared to the Crissaegrim and Masamune, and his magic is shadow-based rather than vampiric in nature. Based on his boss dialogue, it appears as though he is only able to use Alucard as a "human shield"to avoid harm but is only able to use his own magic (every move resembles the black ink-like substance he has in his angelic design). Essentially, Gabriel isn't fighting a "first form." He's fighting Satan directly, who is using Alucard's body to have Gabriel hold back against killing his own son, while at the same time avoiding direct harm to himself.
