Dante vs Superman

And as for blasting from the space...

Heatvision takes one second to get from Moon to the Earth. And Supes would make just the same mistake Despair Embodied made by that- Dante's combat teleportation is based on instinct so he'd suddenly find Dante's demonic form right behind him (high demons in DMC can teleport from Earth to space). And then...well, timestop and stuff.

Sorry, guys, I'm just being stubborn. Sorry if I look like those DBZ obsessed ones to you. I'm just defending my point of view.

Avalonofthewind, by the way, why don't you go into "mixed genre" thread and vote for K' so he culd finally be added to the list?

I've posted a video with stones. That's truly timestop.

It's limited by the amouth of demonic energy (for its fight it's unlimited, without gameplay resrtictions or with "unlimited energy" costume in game itself it lasts as long as Dante wishes). The only "wrong" thing is with radius- Supes need to be 200 metres near to Dante or closer for it to affect him, that's why teleportation comes into play.

And as for "more powerful"...there's a difference between gravitational pull *which Supes resists by default* and magical anomaly resisting which is beyond Supes powerset.
Just like Human Torch would have difficulty controlling\resisting K's or Kyo's fire due to its mystical origin and not because it's hotter than convinient fire\heat energy.

HV has travelled across the solar system in seconds...it's actually faster. Dante teleporting anywhere near Superman just allows Superman (utilizing his far superior speed) to instantly put Dante into frozen animation (which he has done before) burn him (hotter than hell..remember that) vibra-punch Dante apart (once Supes is aware of Dantes regen abilities, he won't hesitate...) hit him with sonics, etc.

Dante will be spending way too much time on defense just trying to to keep himself together. Even then, how far has Dante been shown to teleport? Has he been shown to survive in space and be able to battle? Could he be able to take a good punch from Superman without being KO?

What's the link for the mixed genre? I'll take a peek. 🙂

The most significant teleportation feat I can think of was teleporting from Earth to the space in battle with Mundus. Though I can't exactly tell where it was but definitely a bit farther than Moon's orbit.
Dante in high demonic form is able to survive in space unaided, fly on subluminal speeds, disintegrate comets\small asteroids with magical blasts and stuff.
One or two "good" punches, maybe. His demonic form is quite durable, thoght he only has to last a bit of a second near Supes in conscious state- needed to activate timestopping power...and he's durable enough for that.

He can resist at least a couple of punches Supes gave to Wonder Woman without being KOed.

Avalon, I thought you'd like to post your opinion there. The opponents' arguments are ranged from dragons to Belarusian soccer player Alexander Hleb as you can see.

Though that's a bit offtopic.

So, what we've decided so far?

If Dante stays conscious when near Superman for the time it's needed for person with superhuman reaction speed to think "stop", he can win that like 6-7\10
Otherwise Superman 10\10.

By the way, about flash freeze. One of Dante's defensive abilities (when chanelling the power of demonic ice creature into himself) including encasing himself into huge block of ice which acts as an ice shield...but that's just for information purposes, since Supes will react first and even though flash freeze still gives necessary 0,00001 of a second to Dante, timestop is wiser tactic to use there for him than blocking ice with ice.
Especially if all that happens on the Moon (both our combatants can survive in space unaided).

If Dante manages to impress Superman, he might get invitation into JLA to replace Etrigan or something like that(though while IC, Dante wouldn't accept that purpose since he's loner without any good teamwork experience and isn't used to working in a team).

That's a bit like Superman vs Green Lantern fight (if opponent is given the chance to think, he has chance to win)...just with demonic armour in place of autoshields to take first assault. Once Supes is freezed in time, his weakness to magic attacks can be utilized.
Motivated Supes=Supes wins 10\10.

Dante wins simply because superman is a shitty character. remember that all characters are created and can be assigned any traits that the creator wishes. If compared to food superman is like a badly made dish created by a child who adds anything and everything he finds. Although the dish contains all the ingredients possible it probably tastes like complete shit. Superman is not a balanced character with little attitude, and charm. His costume and appearance sucks major ass. dante is a well designed character with great balance, and the best thing about him is his attitude. that is what appeals to people. Superman is just a "boy scout" who likes to wear his underwear on top of his pants. wat a *****

supes heat vision has welded dimensional tears
his punches split moons, anime F*** w/ sword doesn't have a shot

I think Dante vs. Superman is a ridiculous as the next guy but Dante is exponentially manlier than Superman.

He also has one of the manlier character models in video games DMC4 (he is no Kratos or Solid Snake but still pretty manly), which impressive as Japanese video game designers like to make their male lead character's as sexually ambiguous as possible and throw half shirts on the suckers, whenever possible.

He has a two day beard and a huge belt buckle while Superman has a single jerry curl that hangs over his forhead?
