Cloud Strife v.s. Dante

Where did she go?

I'm here, darlings. Reading through all that...hmmm and fomulating adequate responce.
But just a few points, quickly:
1. Where did you saw the strain from Dante when he blocked the bullets with sword? He did well especially for the guy who uses a broadsword which is heavier than katana.
2. Cutting through building with sword. Wow, exept from the fact that the same feat to some extent was performed by 18 years old Dante in the first volume of DMC3 manga which is canon prequel to the third game.
3. DMC3 Dante is a noob version- 19years old beginner but with a few impressive speed feats (running down the wall at Max speeds, for example). Also Dante didn't took it too serious when he fought Vergil for the first time- he saw that as the continuation of their childhood sparrings where more concentrated Vergil tended to pwn his lil'bro.
4. High jumps- look at some fights from DMC2 and see how good is Dante at his prime in that (notably the one when he fights a living skyscraper monster).

The material people are reffering to there can be found in Dante's respect thread.

BTW, I got some news about Dante's abilities announced for DMC4. Aside from Gilgamesh, a new badass weapon (or gadget?) was announced- Pandora Box, allowing Dante to get any kind of firearm he wishes.

Also to disarm someone you don't necessary need to be stronger than him. In fact you can put your sword in such a position against the opponent's sword, that the very inertia of its movement does most of work in terms of disarming.

But you cant deny that it is a big factor, especially with Cloud who has had many years of SOLDIER mercenery training and went through all the events of FFVII, and its not that "he just cut buildings" its that he did it with less effort then cutting butter with a hot knife

Apparently so has Dante. 😐

With one casual strike of the sword, and what's more- accidentely, when performing a kata after having really bad dream🙂

Whenever Dante sees dreams on panel, it's always nightmares. But those nightmares show us some of his origin... for example, how he was separated from his brother and how his mother was killed by demons. Dante sometimes hates himself for the fact that he was "too weak" at that time to save his mom from being killed(that's why he shose the path of the warrior and demon hunter).
Note- this is manga, so scans should be read from the right to the left.

BTW, have you checked the update of Dante's RT- some things from DMC4 were added, as well as spoiler. Pandora Box was much more uber of an item that I've thought, it gives Dante some Scarlet Witch'esque powers.

umm thats cracking a roof.. Cloud clear cuts structures

We're debating a swordfight, if we can bring in items then Cloud should get all his materia and weapons from the games

I'm not talking about that as an argument in favour of Dante in that particular fight.

And what is implied in those scans is that Dante:
a)doesn't put any effort in the hit
b) damages the costruct which is beyond the direct range of blade.

I've adressed the sentence about Pandora Box not to you, what was for you is the scans.

Cloud can do it as well with no effort

Cloud is a cool character and all, but he's not in Dante's league. Advent Children was a badass movie, too bad it did to Cloud the same FF movie did to Terry Bogard.

Scarlet Witch?

Lol, Scarlet Witch is a potential omniversal level reality warper(and has done it in HoM), Dante is nothing to her. Unless you meant the Pandora's Box's power derives from probability.

Not in Dante's league? But Cloud > Dante in a swordfight..

That post reminds me of Emma Frost with the whole 'darling' thing.
