Dante vs Savior
YouTube video
Spoiler:
Dante has to free Nero from the insides of the monstruous statue called Savior which is done with style. After that, he gives the opportunity to save the world to Nero. This is Nero's deal, his girl, his origin, his hometown, after all...
Spoiler:
In fact, jobber thing isn't true, it's not jobbng- it's lack of effort. According to developers of the game (that's official info), Dante is the strongest being in DMCverse as for now. So no enemies he faces are anything more than medicore challenge.
So he plays with Nero and than generously offers him to save the day and his girlfriend- after saving Nero from the Saviour's insides.
Dante vs Savior- the beginning
Spoiler:
All you "Dante cant kut teh bildingzz from the distanzz" please shut up and watch as that's exactly what Dante does there- cutting a building sized Hellgate monolith into pieces with Yamato from signgicant distance.
Vergil's fanboys were pissed, as Vergil's lil'bro evolved into capable swordsman
Now, I want the opinion of Cloud's fanboys on THAT!!!
Dante vs Agnus
Spoiler:
That cutscene basically shows us two sides of Dante's presonality- comical and tragical ones. While before the fight we see the comical side as improvised Shakesperian play, the serious Dante we saw afteerwards stops all the argument about "Dante being portrayed as a retard in DMC4". Just as a man who just fulfills another job while having almost no personal reason- so he just enjoys himself and mocks his enemies.
Royal Guard evolution- Dreadnaught
Fully developed Royal Guard style in DMC4 gives you complete and total invulnerability (while changing Dante's appearance a bit alike his high demonic form/Super Sparda mode), yet for limited period of time, using the energy stored from Block/Just Block technique.
In that form you're immune to all damage done on you, whatever is its origin. In fact, its duration depends on the amounth of absorbed/redirected energy from Royal Guard blocking techniques.
Dante's Devil Arms in DMC4- detailed movelists
Pandora Box
Spoiler:
PF013 - Epidemic: Press Gun when on the ground
Transforms Pandora into a bowgun capable of firing ravaging projectiles. Successful attacks will increase the Disaster Gauge.
Basically fires 3 exploding missiles out of a huge bowgun. Easy for enemies to evade.PF124 - Hatred: Hold Gun, then move the Move Control in any combination of left and right 3 times.
Transforms Pandora into a bazooka capable of firing ravaging projectiles. Increases the disaster gauge on successful hits(more than PF013 does).
Basically fires 3 larger missiles from a bazooka. Again not very accurate on moving targets.PF398 - Revenge: After executing Hatred, spin the move control twice in any direction.
Transforms Pandora into a laser cannon and makes foes a distant memory. Successful hits greatly increase the disaster gauge.
Fires a freaking huge laser beam, shoop da woop, ima chargin mah lazur, etc. Does huge damage, builds lots of disaster gauge.PF262 - Jealousy: In midair, press Gun.
Transform pandora into a gatling gun and rain down a hail of hot lead upon enemies. Successful hits will fill the disaster gauge.(fairly decent amount, not as much as Revenge though). Can Air Hike to do a second time before hitting the ground. Fires a gatling gun for multiple hits at a single target.Gunslinger Attacks w/ Pandora.
PF594 - Argument: With Pandora Equipped, press Style.
Transform Pandora into a mobile missile battery that fires a barrage of homing missiles. Depletes the Disaster Gauge.
Basically this is the huge hovercraft/missile turret thing in the trailers. Does loads of damage from what I can see, and is extremely accurate(the missiles have good homing ability it seems). Lasts longer the more full the Disaster Gauge is when you activate it.PF422 - Grief: While on the ground with Pandora equipped, press Lock On+Away+Style.
Transform pandora into a boomerang and bring the terror to your adversaries. Depletes the disaster gauge.
Basically turns pandora into a huge circular bladed boomerang that homes in on the enemy and beats the hell out of it until the gauge runs dry.PF666 - Omen: While on the ground with pandora equipped press Lock On+Forward+Style.
Open Pandora's Box and damage all surrounding enemies with the flash of a violated taboo. Depletes the disaster gauge.
Does massive damage in a huge area based on how full the gauge is. Totally empties the gauge when you use it.PF422 requires gunslinger level 3, PF666 requires gunslinger level 4.

Originally posted by Charlotte DeBelThat sounds like it's gonna come in real handy. I never really used Royal Guard in DMC3, not really a defensive type of player. I manage to get it to lvl 2, tho.

Does Dante's DDT/Majin form make it into DMC4 and Also, how powerful is he in that form?
Why it's boring to be the strongest demonic entity in the world
Boredom has killed many great people. When you have no desent adversaries left, you have to either sit on your ass counting crows and pigeons, or do stupid things just for fun.
Sherlock Holmes, for example, used to "draw" Queen Victoria initials on his wall with bullets and don't care about how much he'll pay to his landlady after all. Dante sort of follows his example after he's basically the only high demonic lord left in the world, and majority of remaining demons are not even a reason for a fun for him...only he does that with doors. Though he may have overreacted at poor door because he has just read some review in some magazine and it pissed him off (he's actually reading DMC4 review in that cutscene). Bad mood+boredom=some damage done to the office...
Just another day in the office
Spoiler:
It turns out that the whole role of Dante in DMC4 was just the way to somehow deal with boredom. Hunting minor demons is extremely boring thing...so Lady tries her best to keep Dante's interest in the new job.
And as top of all, Trish trying to play "cool invinsible superagent" doing one of the stupidest things possible.
A respect thread on comics\manga appearances of Dante got updated
Dante vs Nero- second fight
When things get serious, game is over. So Dante deals with annoying kid (who brings his A-game to the table) swiftly and stylishly. Note the amazing agility and precision in close combat when he takes Yamato from Nero.

Dante, aka the big bad boss of Bloody Palace mode
Demonstrating his ability to shoot bullets out of air and many things as well. He really is a tough opponent as NPC.
