Roxas vs Dante

Maybe cause his speed is limited by game mechanics, perhaps you've heard of those? Like you, the player, have to insert a command for him to perform different moves, In this case you have to do a combo with the analog stick; like left, right, left. Not only that, you then have to spin the analog stick either counter clockwise or clockwise to whip out the Revenge form, outside gameplay he could do that without all the hassle. And about it needing to charge, it can't and it doesn't need to, I just checked myself.

As for Roxas's speed, Dante's clearly much faster, Roxas's speed is nowhere near bullet dodging and bullet deflecting speeds, nowhere near. This is even demonstrated in one of the trailers (where he wasn't even doing his best). And I really don't see him dealing any lethal damage to Dante either if it'd even get to that, would Roxas survive barrages of homing missiles or even a bullet to the head? I think not.

ive not seen any gameplay videos of Dante using Pandoras box so thats out of the question, i was watching the video Charlotte Debel show me in her respect thread, where he slaps it on the ground or it glows to use its power, nothing to do with gameplay mechanics at all, since its not in gameplay, then he takes a while to bring out and summon said weapon or effect, for example the missle launcher took ages to open out, so thats useless, the Boomerang is a lot better and the shoulder mounted launcher but the missles are stilln ot incredibly fast if Roxas is supposedly quick as well

Bullet to the head? ime not sure about that, dont know his powers, if hes got magic then maybe if he can bring up a shield, but not otherwise,the missles hwoever are not incredibly quick if Roxas has anywhere near decent speed

Hm, In the Roxas boos fight, hes attack rotation speed is suck that it's a blur. I think it wouldn't a be a leap to assume that can block bullets.

I have to say at this point that i feel from what i've seen, Roxas shows more skill with a weapon. Baring that in mind, the fact that he duel wields is what makes me feel he would in in a sword battle.

does he have any powers you think? like magic or sneaky skills to give him a bonus in battle or something?

Dante is pretty powerful ofc so some guy whos quick with a sword is unlikely to get through Dantes healing and durability as well as all his own powers and guns

Bear in mind that that's the only weapon Roxas ever weilds and that he has never faced someone weilding guns and devil arms...

Happy b-day, btw.

Well nothing you can't deduct from the battles

He can throw his Keyblades and have them curve in flight, he like Sora can summon them back to him. Notice also when Riku takes one in Deep dive, he summons another, pause it at 2:10 you see he seems to have the Kingdom Key.

In the Boss fight he can make lasers fire down in also a prison like fashion. It could be use to control the movements of an enemy which would be pretty handy. Also note he can fly as shown at 4:31 in the Boss battle video, thus also allowing him to defy gravity in the Deep Dive video.

Apart from that just bare in mind he's an Nobody, like all the others, he can teleport, doesn't seem to get tired, and has outstanding skill with their power. And that he wields the Keyblade, weapons that made Sora Hero across worlds from just a normal kid.

A observation i would like to add is, we see Sora cut through buildings, yet it shows in the video that Roxas is truly beyond Sora, since they wield the same weapon, it's fair to assume Roxas is also a building slicer. That leads me to point out any feat Sora has done with his Keyblade, Roxas, his nobody is also capable of.

But would he able to do it constantly? Dante's got infinite ammo so I doubt it. Besides, Dante's faced demons far faster than himself, such as those lightning lizards in armour, they controll lightning and can basicaly blink all over the place.

Is Dante the type to just sit there and shoot forever? I never got that impression.

If that happens then i suppose Roxas could Teleport.

While that may possibly be true, we cannot be certain. Xemnas has them go across worlds to recruit nobodies to their forces and heartless to throw against the Keyblade warriors. Since Squall has a gun-blade we know that technology exists in the KH verse. And it wouldn't be a huge leap to assume Roxas has confronted guns before.

Thank you 😊
