How could I miss this one?
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 😖hifty:
And If Dante happen to transform into a demon it would most likely be pretty hard to dehead him with a dagger 😬
And for this thread... barker
