If Dante were to have his guns, with stats equal to Sam, Sam would still annihilate him

Which is why everyone on here has their stats lowered to Sam's level, wouldn't be fair to fight a guy whose arm you can break and he'll just snap it back in place and be ready to go.
Dante's guns wouldn't even work.
He likely uses his own demonic power as ammo, rather than actual ammo, which is why he never really reloads.
EDIT: Nope

The Boss's fighting is just as poor. As is Ocelot's if you by their final fight in GotP. Hell, bring up any cutscene with him doing his CQC and I'll show you how basic and hammed up it is.
Due to the fact that he can absorb bullets and runs around with assault rifles, yeah.
Don't do what?
No. His actual fighting skills. Like, him being a master of krav maga, for example.
I feel like we're going in circles here. Could you provide some scenes showing Snake's prowess please?
1. How does that reflect his MA skills, then, if he wins those battles due to elements that don't involve MA? And 2. You're going to seriously play semantics with me and argue that it's not PIS but it's CIS? CIS is a derivative of PIS.

-Just, no. First and foremost, when you have a women whose combat skills are enough that an electrically amped Soviet Colonel who makes Ivan Drago look like Gary Daniels is clearly intmidated by, if not possibly scared shitless of her, you have a fighter well beyond poor, especially continuing to consider how she constantly bested her student who casually soloed an handful of elite soldiers armed only with a tranq gun which he only shot once. This same student who taught everything he knew to Snake, who during a rapidly deteriorating state had just as handily bested nearly as many if not more soldiers in even less time. The entire first of five to seven minutes of Ocelot's fight with Snake had him tossing Snake to the ground pretty handily until he managed to get in the zone as well; even beyond CQC techniques, they were virtually even at that point, and still dishing out things that Fisher has yet to take from anyone of their fighting caliber. Your entire argument is still short of being virtually grounded, and in no small part that there's yet to be a valid example from you on what exactly justifies Snake's combat as being telegraphed. Best yet, show US where you consider any of any character's showings as being telegraphed without the obvious intention of dramatic effect (which is a usual given of the series, and a very major factor in TTS' cinematics, while still effectively the very clearly superior aspects of Snake's physical capabilities, and like I said, even in a state probably weaker than Sam's stats, he has showings that punk him entirely), because more often than not, they're more than likely not even putting forth an effort in their fighting, being that some of the only times they ever did was when fighting eachother.
-And beyond the gameplay instances you just stated, in which CC's point still stands; better showings against better adversaries, by virtue of there actually BEING showings.
-Savin' that for CC, not my bizz.
-Fisher can be a master of whatever he wants; Snake's still-superior showings of combat in more dire scenarios against larger numbers in often less-than-stellar condition only screams that his combat prowess is still better, be it through his freestyle martial arts or his CQC of which his best showings are in MGS4, where he's in probably his worst conditions physically. All that proves is his "stats" hardly play into his skill and his ability to effectively utilize CQC.
Sorry, but, "No, you show us yours" isn't an actual answer to my request.
I've already addressed this.

1. It's not informed if they actively displays it.
2. Actually considering you're the one who came in here saying that Snake's moves are telegraphed, it is in fact up to you to prove it, Burden of Proof fallacy.
Engine you forget that soviet colonel has tank busting punches, Fisher NEVER fought in H2H against like him, Heck the main villians from Double agent is just a pack of bums.
He would be DEAD in the MGS verse.
The only combat capable villian was that clow Grinko from the original SC.
Snake feats:
Taking a bullet from sniper wolf like nothing
Rapelling dodging fire from a Combat Chopper
Fighting in H2H with Ninja who would mop the floor with spiderman
Dodging a bullet in the olga battle
Beating a inmortal superhuman
Survive being microwaved
And there is more, hell the guy bring down a Military superpower by himself in Metal Gear 2 solid snake

Go read my posts and find out. I'm not going to bust my ass arguing with three people because they're all bringing up the same things and not reading what I previously stated.
I'll give you a hint, thoguh. Because the three of you are repeating each other, you can find it in the last part of each of my replies.

That post was full of *******-ish butthurt, yeah. Sorry about that. I'm just in a bad mood because I just got home from work and I'm beat. I'll mess with you foo's tomorrow. Not in the mood today.

That's because even besides those feats based on his normally superior physical ability, Snake still has better showings and achievements, which also goes for Big Boss throughout 90% of MGS3 based on dialogue.
-That speaks more for Fisher than anyone in MGS. The logic in and of itself was always a flawed one to begin with anyway. At least when actually using it to compare certain characters.
-Nor is groundlessly saying "His/her capabilities are utterly moot and impractical based on my observation of only the inaccurate/irrelevant showings" an actual argument in the first place.
-Hardly, cuz And you're still wrong.
