Well, the best Dante can hope in that is surviving. fascistcrusader, I love Dante with all my heart, but this seems too much of antiwhitehaired spite.
Dante (all powers inc. Sparda modes from DMC1-2) can take maybe a few wins against that creature. But not more. He won't be roasted for breakfast, that's true.
The only thing in Dante's arsenal from all 4 games that can hurt Ragnaros for sure is "instant death" beam from DMC2 (Super Sparda form) and many of its properties are gameplay, but it would knock the big bad fiery thing down for sure.
Cerberus? I don't think it can do any major damage...but a little pain to big ass is guaranteed.
Dante can only hope of dodging the big bastard's attacks and getting in some lucky stings.
Dante loses that about 4\10.

Get this into your head, please 😛
WoW is a disgrace to the true powers of the characters. I do not think Berial would get trough the "Molten Core" instance, but even if he did, WoW puts Warcraft characters to shame.
Ragnaros in truth is the size of a large titan (Mountain Size). Not only is he a hundred times larger than Berial, but he lack a physical body. A physical body which Berial has and permit an actual defeat by. Ragnaros is a complete flame, the size of a mountain with a mace that basically dig its way to the underground in one smash.
His simple awakening incinerated an entire landscape, created several vulcanos and heated up an entire region. With a motion will he fill t he entire battlescene with lava. Dante can use everything in his might and he wouldnt even be able to come close. The guy defeated Thunderaan with one single blow. Thunderaan razed armies without effort.
Which is a fair enough counter and will work in Dante's advantage.
However, the problem would be how Dante could even harm one that is not actually physical, nor ethereal and is of the size that Ragnaros is. The only thing physical is Sulfaras, his hammer, which is likely the one part of Ragnaros that Dante do not want to touch. One blow could likely be the end of Dante.
I've written my analysis on that a bit above so I won't repeat my own stuff. The only thing that can cause pain to Ragnaros is "instant death" blast from DMC2 (one of Sparda form abilities), though it oneshotting boss tiers in the game is partially gameplay, regardless, it's the best bet Dante has there in terms of offence.
He can survive this fight, but even his best bet is unlikely to do more to Ragnaros than knocking him down or probably KOing him for short period of time.
On the other hand, Dante has to be completely on defence in that fight, limiting his attacking possibilities to counterattacks only. The initiative goes to Ragnaros.
And LOL at proposal of extinguishing Ragnaros with Cerberus- that's pretty stupid, as Cerberus' cryokinesis is powerful but not THAT powerful.
Sephiroth is overrated IMO, even without FC's help in that department. I base my opinion on Dante on analysis of his showings, manuals etc- not on speculations.
Also there's such thing as scaling feats- the feats in Darkstalkers belong to the same scale as Lobo's feats in DC comics, as (sorry, DS fans) Darkstalkers is based on non-serious portrayal of supernatural things, thus things like Midnight Bliss, inflating body parts and other clownish things. Darkstalkers characters are almost as "serious" as Super Mario, they do ridiculous stuff but their true level of power is hard to compare with other games.
As for Warcraft, lore and gameplay are two totally different things, guys may be omnipotent in storyline but are getting WTFpwned in the game by huge mobs of lesser characters.

You mean things like how Ragnaros slaughters hundreds, perhaps thousands per swing in lore and kills mighty oppositions easily, but is defeated by 40 randoms in gameplay 😛
Or Archimonde, who basically defeated one of the mightiest druids in existance without harm and both figurativly and litteraly stomps armies and landscapes but got defeated by 25 randoms in gameplay 😛
