The official respect thread of Dante

Started by BloodRain24 pages

His shown feats are;
-Physical strength to almost break a skyscraper by stomping on it.
-Regenerating from a puddle of blood.
-Energy blasts that can wipe out a few city blocks at a time.
-In a few seconds formed a portal the size of N.America that was still growing.

Main difference is that Abigail had more powerful attacks but Mundus has more varied and hax skills. Makes sense that he could rival him.

IMO its Mundus=Despair>Abigail.

Hey BloodRain

Thansk for the feat Man,

(Off Topic)

How you make threads??? I am new at this website so I dont know much 🙁

The 'New Topic' button at the top I think. (Never actually made a thread >->😉

Thinking about it, countering Abigail's assault would be a nice strength and durability feat for Dante.

..Ok was exagerating on the one shot, but he still seemed very casual in beating him/her/it. As I see it a casual base Dante2 > Max Sparda/form Dante by a noticeable margin. Mundas, Abigail and Despair were on near enough the same level (A<D/M) and Abigail was literally one-shotted with a single DT slash, (this would put him at or above Sparda's level by DMC4, the manual suggests this by saying some say he has surpassed Sparda's skill and power) with Despair being done in by a base Dante without much effort, he even toyed with him before the end.

Only threat would be the next two strongest below him; Dante4 and Sparda. But by 2 neither would be a problem.

And the Despair just stood there and took the blast to its face. To be honest, that attack/Jackpot shot seems to be Dante's most powerful attack. With Vergil he took out Arkham with it, and with Trish's help, he resealed a weakened Mundus.
IMO, it's simply Base Dante2 > Dante4/1 by a noticeable margin, and Base Dante 2 > Sparda by a smaller margin. And I still don't think that Argosax was = Mundus in power. Argosax was probably around when Mundus rose to power.

Yeah, but every single other character in the DMC verse taking on Dante2? I don't see him taking them all out at the same time. Sparda with Yamato would be rather frightening, never mind others like Dante4, Mundus, Despair, & Saviour.

Personally I think that his spectral dragon is his best attack.

Despair was in despair. Whys that? By 1 he was in sight of Sparda, by the anime he was at or close to Sparda's level (defeating Abigail as opposed to Sparda sealing Mundus, roughly the same.) And if anything is slightly above him by 4. If Argosax was the strongest in hell, besides Mundas, than he's above the likes of Abigail who once matched Mundus. So if he is weaker it wouldnt be by a substantial degree.

The only mains are those at/above anime Dante. Argosax<Mundus<1<anime<Sparda<4, with the gaps not being that wide. Keeping in mind that all the Dante's here and Sparda would need to be in their devil forms to be above those kings, 2 is above them all in base alone. If he can't win like that his DT can. Even a less of a chance with DDT.

...SMT Dante >
excellent

"The Perfect Devil form of Dante, with an image of him losing control and dangerous is still impractical to appear even in DMC 4."

"The concept is, after the normal devil trigger we'll give him another much more powerful devil form/abilities, a power that can be said far surpass Sparda, his legendary father, which means making him all powerful and almost unbeatable; for the side effect, he might be losing control over his human self and going berserk."

Some quotes from these two images in the Devil May Cry 4 Artbook. Not canon forms obviously, but does hint to Dante's true power by DMC4 especially in relation to Sparda. This may be foreshadowing Majin form while the lines about the devil side taking over may even be alluding to the personality switch by DMC2. Hopefully they'll put something like this in the next sequel.

Geez! Slow down Dante!

Dante is so awesome, he needs a patch! But no, seriously Capcom, patch this. That's terrible.

That infinite looks purdy damn easy. My DMC is pretty rusty so forgive me for askin, can Dante do the special moves in MVC3 in DMC?

Yup, everything Dante does in MvC3 is from his DMC3 movepool. The same with his specials. (Stinger, 'Jackpot' and Devil Trigger.)

Well in MVC3, obviously usin Trickster, he can teleport on the fly. I don't remember him being able to teleport. Let alone be that fast with it. What game was this in?

This one? Yeah its his Air Trick, had it in both DMC3 and DMC4.

Why does Dante even need speed feats when he can just teleport like that?

Because its more like a short range blitz teleport iirc, and his high speed would increase the energy of a given weapon by a fair amount. If he just teleported up to someone it would not be as impressive.

Well in MVC3, he homes in on the opponent. And why would he need energy behind swords and guns?

Guns he does not need it for but swords? the power behind a sword will be multiplied when moving at speeds. Slicing into someone at say Mach 1 with a sword would be so much more powerful than slicing someone with a slash a few feet away.

I was talking general DMC, I have not played MVC myself so I dont suppose the teleport would be a bad choice to get the drop on the opponent but the above is still true, Dante would not get much running room really through if its like a fighter game (only as much as 10-50 meters between two fighters).

How you see the fighters in fighting games is not how they are actually spaced. It's just gameplay. All I'm sayin is, his swords are sharp. I think it would be a good idea to sacrafice energy/force to get the drop on any foe, doesn't matter how hard you swing, with unrealistic magic swords, a slash is a slash.

well I think it does matter if he comes across someone extremely durable. If theres nobody who matches that description in MvC then it does not matter.

With his level of speed, he can and tends to get the drop anyway.

Alternatively, some of his speed feats have really been teleportation instead mwahaha

Its mainly his preference. He dodges bullets he can easily heal from, dodges anything when he has Royal Guard, uses guns when he's faster and hits harder then them. Cutscene wise he doesn't usually use his powers unless necessary. (Though these times hardly come up)

Speed feats are great for close combat, teleporting can be useful for when he hasn't got a footing like in the air.
