Gray Fox vs. Dante

No timepowers or any of that wanky stuff. Just Dante with a sword and his own natural abilities against Cyborg Ninja Gray Fox.

Gray Fox could actually put up a pretty good fight in just a sword fight. He's at least almost as fast, and also possesses formiddable strength and endurance. I'm not saying he'd win, but Dante sure as hell wouldn't be able speedblitz him.

Gray Fox

Very impressive. I’ve not seen any of that before (never got into MGS, believe it or not, and never had opportunity to play any of it) but I know the characters through discussions, etc. First time I’ve seen that. I must say that he does indeed move extremely quickly. I particularly liked his bullet–dodging and cutting bullets in ½ malarkey. Very jaw–dropping.

This doesn’t exactly show Dante at his best since he gets hacked up by his brother Vergil, but the first couple of minutes shows their speed in reference to bullet–dodging and hacking:

Also this one to get a feel for the actual speed of Dante’s sword–swinging abilities:

Check it out 1 minute into the video. Dante and Vergil swing their swords and parry each other so quickly that not even the bloody RAIN can reach them until their swords lock together!

That's almost about the same speed Gray Fox can swing his sword at max. Look at the way he deflects those bullets.

Fox may have trouble with Dante's regen. But on the same token, Dante will have trouble with Fox's exoskeleton's durability.

Give Dante Yamato and the exosceleton of Fox might not exist as well (though Rebellion is also good in cutting stuff, Yamato can cut through everything belonging to the "human" plane of reality due to it's ability of cutting through dimensions).

Dante will also have trouble with Fox's superior strength.

And his HF Blade...

If you think the HF blade is any stronger than Dante's swords, you're wrong.

gFox got crushed by REX, not RAY. And it was after it had cut him apart with a laser and smashed him into a wall.

Your point being Grey Fox got bested by a heavily armed slowmoving behemoth?

Also, Yamato > HF blade.

Yes, a heavily-armed slow moving behemoth that could probably take Dante no problem.
The weapons REX is carrying would splatter Dante beyond his regen's ability in short order.
M61 autocannon >>>> pistol rounds Dante can shoot down.

It would have to hit him first. It's guns are big, but they'd never hit him. He'd cut Ray apart easily.

Dante has this in the bag. There's nothing Fox could do against his superior swordsmanship, speed, the fact that he has DT, and the fact that there's nothing Fox could do to hurt Dante.

He could easily blow off his head.
Regen from that, prettyboy.

Dante got shot in the head a few times in DMC 3, and that's the weakest we've seen him. Gray Fox would crap his pants and be slaughtered after realizing he couldn't do anything to hurt Dante.

So Dante could survive a shot to the head that could pierce hard metal armor? Gray Fox wins. His head flys off.

Dante...... Easily....

Magical abilities, superhuman speed, strength, regenerative abilities even Wolverine would find familar, hand eye coordination and reflexes that are insanely accurate, Devil Trigger... Magic weapons... The ability to ressurect... And a baddass attitude.

WTF did Grey Fox ever do to you to deserve this horrible horrible curbstomp?
