Dante only needs to think to stop time with QS (which it does), the Prince needs to use the dagger or his medallion, so you're wrong there BT, Thinking comes before acting. The only person of the two, I mean the dark prince has the power and weapons to have a chance against Dante, but the real prince destroyed him in the last game.
The prince by himself would need far better weapons to beat Dante.
Their acrobatic skills are about the same but Dante can jump farther are much higher.
And BT, I think you're overrating the enemies from the PFP universe a bit, the empress NEVER used any form of time controll during the fight against her do your homework. The Dahaka was only a fierce beast who had an IQ lower than a duck who only proved that it had these abilities : Time travel, make the TV screen go monochrome, send tentacles. Nothing more. The giant was a retard too, Dante fights bosses with brains
Also, since the prince doesnt know Dante is a demon, he would most likely use (and waste) a few sand tanks thinking Dante's only a human.
And If Dante happen to use his RPG or granade launcher on the prince he'd burst out in pieces and the time artifacts cant be used if they're not in contact with the user
And If Dante happen to transform into a demon it would most likely be pretty hard to dehead him with a dagger
If the Prince stops time, how can Dante move? It's not Dante freezing time, it is the Prince. And the prince didn't need to touch the medal in the game, it activated itself when he wanted to, like how it protected him against sand and time itself. Even if Dante wouldn't be freezed by the Prince (which would need an explenation) then Dante would not be able to send out such things as bullets or grenades, because they would be stopped if the flow of time was stopped.....

A. Kamikz is right, the prince needs only to think to start up his time powers, you dont really think hes actually pressing somthing on his dagger or on his chest do you all this time
B. how are dante opponents more intelligent, puppets, a dum assed phantom, which is really a fat spider who's dumb assed. Nelo Angelo and Mundus are really the only intelligent things in DMC 1, in 2 its rare to fight anything intelligent, since most of the enemies are weak and slow. The Empress of Time, the Vizier and Shadi are very intelligent especially the first two, the first two own everything in the DMC universe as intelligent apart from Mundas.
C. The Dahaka although may seem unintelligent can still WTFPWN everything in DMC universe so dont even try dissin it
D. Also why would he need better weapons, Puppets with their little weapons and other swords hurt him, the dagger of time would just go streight into Dante's brain and kill him instantly
and since Dante doesnt know the prince can control time then dante will not use his and so the prince will use his first and Dante loses
WTF PWNED you probly feel pretty much owned round about now
Most of that are fanboyish oppinions, you dont say how just "WTFPWN".
And someone hasnt played DMC3 I see I Dante dont die if he gets a bullet to his head why then why would a dagger (which is mainly used to absorb sand from knocked out enemies and isnt effective in combat).
And someone hasnt explained how and/or why/how the **** the prince is gonna use his time artifacts if he gets blown to bits or gets shot in his head which would prevent any thought from his little mind and we all know he aint got the speed to evade it plus he doesnt anything about Dante's arsenal of guns (and magical "guns").
The Prince is just a gifted human who was cursed by the Sands of Time. He moves slower than Dante, he's alot weaker than Dante and he's definatly not nearly as skilled.
Can the prince "stop" time now? He could only slow it down in my game and rewind it in my game. Slowing down time doesn't last too long and burns the sand meter.
Dante tools him. He shrugs off bullets, stab wounds... the Prince wouldn't have a chance in hell if Dante pulls out DT.
If worst comes to worse; he can just shoot the Prince. A few bullets will easily do the trick.
actually he can stop time, read the manual, its the final time ability, the prince stops time for all his enemies for a duration, this happens in thought
Dante DOES NOT move at the speed of thought, ime afriad hes not even fast enough to stop the prince from doing that attack
then Dante gets the knife stuck in his brain and he dies instantly
also plz kindly say what part of that is fanboyish at all, i hardly play Prince of persia, not for years, if i wanted to make a fanboy thread id put Dante VS Diablo and pwn him completly but no, this is fair enough
still its a stalemate, its unknown which one will start his freeze time first
Dante is damn durable, he gets a sword through his stomach and pretty much laughs about it. But how much damage can he really take? Can he stand after his head has been cut off? And the Prince weapons are indeed effective. In a pure sword/weapon battle, Dante wins easily, but with all they got, I'm inclide to say the Prince has a chance.

Would deheading even work? I mean come on, everyone of the Sparda family has a rediculously high regenarating factor (higher than Wolverine last I checked) if they wouldnt have then Vergil would have been cut in 2 in the ending of DMC 3 but because of their regenating powers they can even still go on after getting pierced with a sword straight through their heart.
@ BT I think you can find which parts that were fanboyish very easily go ahead and ask a blind man.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but this doesn't last very long. To win, the Prince would have to freeze time, run up to Dante and hack like mad.
Depends on the distance. If he starts far away and freezes time immediatly, the guage'll run out before he can do some damage. If the Prince doesn't freeze ASAP, he gets absolutely pwned by bullets.
dante's head isnt that strong, maybe his body but that knife wont have much trouble going into his head, Dante can survive being stabbed in the chest but in the head is a completly diffrent matter
if Dante freezes time first he wins, if Prince does then he wins
Ahem someone needs to start thinking why I said Vergil would be 2 halves
Read, think, THEN post
Also, you're not saying why I am fanboyish you have to do better than that.
The prince would need a brain before doing so, you guys proved it, self ownage right there, sorry Dante wins.
And if that's not enough for ya then how about this one? Dante duels at faaar higher speeds than the prince which would mean he thinks faster too and that of course is cuz he's a half demon.

thats fanboyish right there, he duels at higher speeds so he thinks faster, thats rubbish, the only reason he can duel at high speed is because of reflexes that his demonic side has given to him.
Also he wont be regenerating with his head cut right off will he honestly you cannot win this so simply
its STILL a stalemate
and your not saying why ime fanboyish either, practice what you preach!!!
And what the hell are reflexes controlled by? cheese?
And think again about what I said, you missed something actually the whole point
I only meant you were fanboyish about the Dahaka beating everyone in DMC, you didnt even say why and how, duh. I'm sure he beats most of them but all he basicly does is chasing a human prince in time, it doesnt controll time, it time travels and it's a dumbass. You could have edited, I do it all the time, it's not so hard just click the "edit" buttom

Well I figured since a sword came through his stomach so easily, one as good and sharp (and magical) as the Prince would probably slice through his head with similair ease, his skin isn't harder around his neck is it?
And I don't think the Prince is affected by time as long as he has his medallion. He withstood the empress of time, who controlled time. Neither was he affected when the sands spread out, but when he lost his amulet he suddenly was. It protects him against time....

oh yeah, i forgot that the medallion actually protects him, also from playin a bit of the prince of persia game ive realised that not only is he protected to time powers but hes able to stick his dagger into something, then it floats in the air, goes transparent and then he can disintegrate it, simply put he can do this to dante
so Dante cannot win, this is no longer a stalemate its a slaughter, poor dante
Also the Dahaka can pwn everything in Devil may cry because its indestructable, the only thing that can stop it is an entire ocean of water and it kills instantly by ripping you from time itself so few if any things can beat the thing, especially things from DMC
Then why should Dante be affected then?
That's right, he isnt, because that's what the power is all about, to be able to walk around in time freezed world
Now you say the medallion protects him?! It has a brain now?! How come he gets hit then? How come he's got a scar on his face? That argument doesnt hold If it cant really protect him, it doesnt have a brain or any sort of mind it's just him using its powers nothing more. If cant "protect" him from blades it cant protect him from bullets or rockets.
Oh, and Dante's powers have minds, they ACTUALLY protected him in DMC 3 when he first got the ability to turn into a demon and Dante in DT mode has much tougher skin.
