Mixed Genre & Comic Tier Reference Guide

Started by Charlotte DeBel307 pages

Well, I'll give you a list (counting his Nocturne apparance which chronologywise "overwrites" his DMC 2 appearance). Anime Dante is a sucky one featwise, he looks nothing more that mid meta.

SOME of dante's feats
able to see and interact (sometimes "interaction" includes killing) immaterial creatures (i.e ghosts);
can teleport (actually that's combat teleportation,no portals);
was fast anough to RIDE a rocket from a rocket launcher;
has had mystical scythes from hell vanguard creatures pierce 80% of his body {practically slised in pieces} and still went on to eat his pizza and kill all the grim reaper's ass};
ran faster than a speeding bullet and the air around him started burning;
wields weapons containing fire hotter than the heart of a volcano and enough to damage the abussal cold of the deepest hell;
destroyed a being who could have wiped the normal universe clean of life;
has survived in the underworld;
was unnafftected by both the fire of hell, lightning, light of abaddon, elements of Cerberus (ice), Agni and Rudra (wind and fire0, and the list goes on.
manhandles mystical beats the size of large scyscrappers with brute strength
has a mystical element to all his attacks, even bullets (and able to add his mystical energy not only to weapons to improve them, but also to regular things like his bike);
easily sliced an incoming missile in half without blinking or making it explode;
doesnt need air/water/food to survive,;
easily slices through boulders 10s of times larger than highrise buildings;
easily destroyed a god who was the very embodiment of the abstract despair;
was moving faster than the human eye can persieve while fighting vergil;
was hired by lucifer himself{a being shown later to be beyond the amala multiverse} to hunt down his candelbra of the sephiroth to open the entrance of the sealed hell which yahweh himself had sealed
toyed with the demi fiend, lucifer's greatest creation and in the end only let him live cause he wanted to see more of the ongoing drama and get his JACKPOT
easily withstood and had a part in defeating beelzebub, a demon beyond the amala multiverse
easily withstood the power of metatron an angel one with god and beyond the multiverse and also had a great hand in his defeat
withstood the power of lucifer himself and had a part in his defeat{technically} who was ALSO beyond the muyltiverse and even metatron.
survived the most evil and wicked cloister of hell{5th kalpa} while fighting the strongest demons and looked like he was just having afteroon tea.
resisted and had a hand in defeating kagutsuchi the light that destroyes the universe and gives birth to the next one.

was shot twice in the head and brushed it off as being rather bored and took his own blood and licked it/wrote sumthing on the wall with it
is faster than speeding bullets, as he easily slices through them
when he was impaled through the chest with an extremely powerful mystical sword with further mystical strength by trish, got right up, while casually talking to Trish, pulled the sword out of himself and gouged it in the ground.
is stronger than Sparda, a demon who single handedly forced the entire underwolrd and its lord to fall and sealed it all;
can stop time;
can slow time
can use his shadow to create clone of himself, which is practically imprevious to physical damage;
can traverse in all mystical dimension;
can take "demonic lord" form or Sparda form, resembling his father, in which he's capable of travelling on subluminal speed, can be killed only by demonic magic of high order and able to fire really powerful energy blasts

Actually if we count Nocturne (Nocturne feats are marked in the list), then Dante is the strongest demon of his universe nowadays

Nice list of feats. By the way I know the anime version of Dante is weak, but the anime itself ain't half bad. Although I would love to see Dante use other weapons.

Are all of those feats in-game, or are you using stuff from other appearances?

Anime itself is rather nice and cool...though I'd love to see more devil arms. Only Rebellion, Ebony and Ivory is boring.

Sorry for spelling...I've borrowed the list from one person who isn't known to be a brilliant speller and didn't have time to correct all the mistakes.

Those feats are in-game (thjough bike is from anime, and Nocturne, though it was added to official chronology by some sourses, is debatable (though I'm sure that it's more than canon (chronologically it overwrites DMC2, expalining Dante's "pasttime" at Hell), unlike Viewtiful Joe, which was a bit of joke, so I counted Nocturne).

That list got me curious. Looks like Dante will become my next hobby--same as KOS-MOS was a couple of weeks ago.

There's a spellchecker button next to the preview button.

No worries though.

Something more about Dante's healing factor (he took sword through his heart like nothing, and bullets didn't even seem to disturb him more that a mosquito bite)

Dante is naturally gifted with superhuman strength and speed, and he has incredible endurance stemming from his uncanny regeneration ability. Dante's wounds heal almost instantly. In fact, his flesh begins to seal as soon as it is cleaved, making it nearly impossible to dismember him. He has demonstrated this ability on several occasions. For example, when his hand had been pierced by a sword, Dante was able to pull and twist his hand around until he was holding the sword's blade, without losing any fingers. Dante's brother Vergil, who possesses the same ability, was clearly sliced in half in their final battle, and yet managed to remain whole. Dante has survived gunshots to the head and stomach, multiple stab wounds from scythe blades, being smashed into the ground by a heavy demon, being impaled by a sword (on more than one occasion), and various other acts of grievous bodily harm that would have been fatal to a human.

Also the highhest level of Royal Guard style allows him to create sort of forcefield around himself which converts damage he gets into health for him.

Dante's healing factor is off the charts. I've seen the clip of Dante getting pierced by multiple ax wielding demons and the way he just plays with them while he slays them by using the same blades piercing his body against them. The instant heal after pulling the blades out is also demonstrated in that sequence.

I wonder why you never commented on the Sons of Sparda vs KOS-MOS thread I made in the games vs forum.

I don't know much about KOS-MOS to have an unbiased debate.

ANd the Hell Vanguards "pizza feat" is also included in the list...

Understood.

I know that is why I talked about it.

By the way when do you think the events of the anime take place if it was included in the DMC canon? Possibly after Devil May Cry?

Yes, most probably...since Dante contacts both Trish and Lady (but loves strawberries with whipped cream😉).

I want strawberry ice cream now because of him asking for one in every god damn episode....Yeah I just watched 7 of those episode sin a row. I usually hate toddlers in animes, but the patty kid is funny and the way she interacts with Dante always cracks me up.

Mmm.. strawberries...

By the way...game version of K' is low level meta surely, but comics version (which I prefer to use in debates at comics vs forum and on which I've made a respect thread)looks more like mid level meta (some feats like controlling lava stream by adding his fire to it or bloving up a skyscraper from distance are really nice). Though those feats are further explanation of gameplay abilities like Iron Trigger.

But the difference isn't too dramatically big there to make a fuss about it...but it exists. I prefer NeoSun comics version in "comics vs" debates. Superboy Prime, you should remember my K' vs Wolverine one.

But game version is much more familiar to people than comics one *I prefer to state which version I debate about* so it's nothing wrong with him being rated by game version level.

Also if we have things like Fernus at Skyfather then Dante 9if we count his Nocturne feats is also worthy of the ranks, though he lacks matter manipulation).

I do think it will be damn near impossible to notice, and subsequently close, duplicate threads with the new "all character" rule. ermm

It's not an "all-character" rule...

Would Vash the Stampede fit into high metahuman based on that his Angel Arm can literally level cities and blew a hole into the Fifth Moon of Gunsmoke... or high street level considering barring that he's basically an incredibly skilled gunman...?

Pretty darn tootin' close to it though, from what I've seen.

Hmm...

Probably Low meta (averages). If he's a street leveler with slightly above average durability but a lot of fire power I'd put him there.

I'm repeating the "averaging" I did above.

K' is low meta level no matter NeoSun version or "mainstream" game version(even NeoSun comics version lacks steady amouth of feats for mid meta, though that version has some desent pyrokinesis feats).

As for Dante...I'm unsure. Featwise he's between high/middle herald level. He lacks matter transmutation which is one of requirements for high herald AFAIK but has other feats like time control or resisting his soul being drained for 15 minutes...But sans matter transmutation he's easily on Blackheart level (his true demonic lord "Sparda" form is practically invinsible and can be affected only by highest order magic\reality warping). And Blackheart is a skyfather.
So either high level herald or even skyfather level.
