Umbrella versus Dante

Is that even possible? To electrocute something that will effect your own DNA is suicide. The whole ideal of doing that is insane. I don't even think the electricity that Dante would channel into himself would bother anything in his body externally.

Dante might lose. If all the stronger enemies with weaker ones as distractions teamed him I can see him dying.

Knowing Nemesis's intelligence, he may throw a few tyrants or Hunters at Dante. It is indeed hard to see the true victor.

Like I said, I want to know the format of this battle. I honestly believe the odds too overwhelming for Dante to survive if every opponent appears all at once, though the 1000 Zombies trying to move around may make things difficult for others to get at him. And how big a battle stage do we work in? The entire city? Walls, etc? Trickster may give him enormous advantage here, though I’d still side with Royalguard for its ability to Just Parry anything and, more importantly, for Just Releasing. You can kill as many as 6 run–of–the–mill opponents with a single, perfectly–timed Just Release.

I think it's an empty big New York or Raccoon City 😄 Street.
And I do think they appear at once. I still wonder can Umbrella refill their ranks and bring in more B.O.W.'s, onces like Nyx and Oscar the titan.

I want to know Dante's using a style becaus ethat could turn the battle in his favour.At the moment I'm still with Dante

Does Dante die if his head gets chopped off?

Because in all the mayhem I can see it happening.

Please bear in mind that the original DMC started off life as RE4, but went in completely different directions so the developers turned it into a separate game of its own. You can definitely see a lot of RE in the first DMC (gameplay wise), and in the loading/style screens in DMC3, not to mention when you select things, pick them up, etc. It makes sense for the two to collide and definitely not ‘stupit’.

They just started out as the same development project. since it went in a completely different way, it completely different. in re, supernatural demons don't exist, while bow don't exist in dmc.

there were no gameplay similariities between re/dmc1. re had players play like a dante who just point/shoot while dmc was always lively, and inspired partially by mvc games being able to do complex combos and all. the menu was completely different too, especially dmc1 where things spun when selected. RE has a limit to what you can carry at once.

People forget Dante won't just be spamming Devil Trigger left and right dur

hardly any1 ever mentioned devil trigger, but it doesnt really matter since dante won't need it. he's not fighting what he considersbig shots like mundus, vergil or even decent opponents like phantom, griffon, beowolf.

how many cutscenes have dante used his dt besides maybe 1 in each game. he didn't need it against anything in the manga except when he jus dted after that vampire tried to suck his blood(doubt that was even in control since he learned to dt during dmc3), and he never bothers using it in the anime(not sure if it's canon yet).

Theres a DMC anime? Uh oh, it's google time 😮

If Dante can use a style then he probably wins. The zombies are really weak compared to them, so instead he would probably use them to his advantage, or do something cool like slide on one of the zombies while shooting all the others with Ebony and Ivy 😄

If they all appear at the same time, Dante would surely use the Zombies as cover. The bigger enemies like Tyrants would basicly kill all the lower units while trying to hit Dante, while Dante could take pot shots at them while taking cover in the zombies.

If he has a style than that will ensure him even a better victory, with Trickster alone he can probably dodge all the attacks using the Zombies or the city, and RoyalGuard would be an overkill, since he could block ALL attacks without taking any damage.

The Nemesis can soak a lot of damage. So can the Tyrants and the heavy hitters in the gauntlet.

He can pull it off...but he better rest after engaging 10 Tyrants etc.

And besides, even if the virus would make its way into his body I doubt his immune system wouldn't be able fend it off.

Oh yeah, if Umbrella's freak army happens to come at him all at once, would that even matter? The speed difference between each type of monster would still divide them into groups, I mean:

Zombies : Slow walking, they'd probably act as an audience before the slaughter moves over to them and they'd just be the big shot's way.
Dogs : Fast but weak.
Crimson heads : Fast and strong but with an obvious weak point.
Spiders : Slow and big.
Hunters : Swift and deadly.
Lickers : Swift but bleh.
Mr😘 : .................damn slow.
Proto tyrant : ? Which game is he in?
Nosferatu : Same as above but I've probably seen it in action.
Queen Leech : Is there even enough room for that thing!?
Nemesis : Fully equipped with miniguns and RPGs? OK, I've got one word for that : Lady. He battled her when he was YOUNG.

I doubt the virus would affect Dante.

Why do you keep referring to Dante as if he's just a normal human when he's clearly not?

Because he is half human and has DNA.

Do you even have proof of that the T-virus would even affect him? No, you don't, not to mention that the T-virus was designed to affect humans and animals, not demons and we've never even any sick demons whatsoever in the DMC-universe.

He's half human, I'm sure it would effect him in a way.

Maybe.

Same as above.

And again, where's the proof?

"The T-Virus is built like any other virus. It is a protein crystal with an RNA core. As the crystal makes contact with a cell's membrane, it destroys it and inserts its RNA into the cell. The cell absorbs the viral genome into its own DNA, which takes over the cell's functions. The cell begins to produce offspring of the original virus. The new viruses are then released from the host cell and infect the neighboring cells, which starts the process all over again."

Bear in mind the T–Virus doesn’t even affect the GAME characters! You can get bitten multiple times by zombies while playing RE games and still not contract the virus…

it did effect the characters in outbreak but simple antiviruses can cure/slow that down.

besides you already forgot dante can generate electricity in his body. especially with alastar. not sure if dante can generate things like fire without weapons like ifrit, agni but he's shown to be able to use electricity even without alastar at times.

Such as when? Not picking at you, simply genuinely asking. I know, for example, he can double jump even without a double–jump capable weapon in his hands. If he has Cerby, say (non double jump weapon), and Rebellion, and does the Sword Pierce where he throws his sword he can still double jump. Perhaps his electrical ability without Alastor stems from something similar to that.

you can charge your guns with electricity and rebellion in dmc3. dante charged his guns without touching a sword against the last boss in dmc2, he seemed to boost his bike with an electric shock in the anime which made it go faster than someone with nitro.
