Yes he does, combos are nothing to do with strength, thats tactics/skill, ime talking about raw strength, muscle power, its like your saying "dante doesnt have to show he is strong to be strong" when, yes, he does...otherwise its the same as me telling people I can lift skyscrapers but Ime not going to show it...
3. kratos was weak when? show me a feat comparable to the [b]mortal, the weakest form
of Kratos being crushed by the colossus of Rhodes performed by Dante?4. Your talking gameplay again.....Royal guard is simply a sword block, thats all it is...in gameplay it can block certain things but its NEVER blocked a beam that can turn him or it to stone...
5. Again your talking BS gameplay, the maker of this thread put the real characters into this battle, gameplay mechanics mean nothing...otherwise kratos has "continues" if he is defeated? lol....what do you mean he isnt a mortal unlike Kratos? being immortal doesnt mean anything in DMC other than not dieing of Old age like it does in lord of the rings, Dante is broken by physical objects such as blades, show me Dante enduring something please.
6. Colossus hand>>>>>Yamato going through your chest, a human could survive Yamato in their stomach, just like any sword, albiet without medical attension they would die later but Kratos is no human, hes a Demi-God and has endured far more than Dante.
7. Dante has speed only, so far youve shown zero evidence of Durability, endurance. You doubt Kronos rage would hurt him? it would blast him to the ground and electrocute him to ash...
so what if he needs help from Gods? he has their powers now and the blade of Olmypus...so what he required earlier is nothing, Dante needs his weapons to win, as does Kratos, problem is kratos' are far more powerful. Thats false, no time in the game is dante struck and heals instantly, the only time he has a real healing factor tbh is gameplay in his Devil trigger state, other than that a lot of the time he has wounds on his body for a fair duration before they are fully healed. Devil arms? lmao....he doesnt need them you fool, hes got massive lightning bolts, ebony and ivory are pathetic for starters they cant even break human made pool balls in the beginning of DMC 3, their pathetic like a lot of Dantes weapons.
The hand of the Colossus of rhodes is an empowered metal construct weighing tonnes and powered by Zeus, it far outweighs anything Dante has been hit by 100 times over, and you know whats really funny? Kratos was in his weakest form when he was hit....now hes had all the tonnes of powerups from the blade of Olmypus and the other titans AND regained his power he is far beyond Dante and his weapons.
Swords? Fleece....they can stop magic projectiles and lighnting, lame floating sworsd which are fairly slow even to kratos' standard would never be a threat.
What divine attacks? the blade has the incredible power of Zeus and one blast created a melted hole in the colossus metal body, Dantes tiny frame would shatter.
Quicksilver is on a very limited duration and stems from the same power Devil trigger does so no "DDT Majin form" or charge attacks.
by the time hes frozen time hes prob got little time to do anything to Kratos thats worth doing, his puny swords and weapons will not slice through Kratos who can survive Atlas' strength, Colossus of rhodes (at his weakest), by the time you get to the equip Gilgamesh/bewulf part Dante is screwed since by then Quicksilver would be over and Kratos just punches Dante in the face, knocks him out and turns him to stone...

1.It wouldn't do anything. He would just laugh and but Ebony and Ivory on Kratos.
2.If Krato's is so strong why does he struggle to lift up doors then? Like I said we haven't seen his true strength.
3.Probably the only time he was weak. And in CoO when Charon(I think)dumped him in Tartarus.
4.He only blocked a beam. Why are you throwing cutscenes in here? But when I do you get mad? You didn't make the thread.
5.Like when Krato's was about to get killed when Gaia had to help him(when the Kraken was about to crush him). He can't get hurt by Mortal things. IF that's in the case rocks can kill Kratos.
6.He's a mortal. And it seems he was nonething until he called upon Ares. And he never has been called a DemiGod.
7.Fire can't hurt him. Desperation Devil Trigger?
8.That's stupid he needs his weapons? He can't even defeat a God without using other Gods powers(Like he had to go God-To-God to defeat Ares and for Titans to kill Zeus). Hell he couldn't even defeat Collosus without using The Blade. Actually he healed. When Dante put Yamato in him. When he got his hand cut. When Alastor went thru him(he didn't feel anything)and when Trish throwed the Force Edge at his heart with Her power. You mean patheic like how he has to use other God's magic? Like patheic like the weak wind and atlas quake and lighting?(Rocks, wind and lighting). 4 little magic.
It wasn't powered by Zeus. Because he had drained the power from it. He didn't gain his power back. Dante was weak when Vergil stabbed him but he was ready for another fight.
Why couldn't it stop Zeus' lighting when he was big? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0fzN-9eWzQ&feature=related @ 3:10 Divine Attacks like that. Then why can't it kill Cerberus, Minotaurs, Gorgons, Cyclops, etc in 1 hit?(Which Sparda's Cannon can)
Play DMC2 when his health is low he can go Sparda DT.
If you wanna be like that saying it's "limited" Krato's magic is limited then. Unless Urns/Infinite DT are allowed. Why are you trying to dodge no "DDT?"
Atlas was weak when Hades' ripped his soul out. Knock him out? Stone him? How can he do that if he uses DT? He already got punched by Nero/W Devil Arm(I think)20x he would just laugh at his little fist. Kratos has NONETHING to kill Dante with. He can stab all he wants he will just laugh. Still answer my question. How can he stop Spritual Swords(which can't be blocked), Spritual Dante?
ok.. what would you guys think would happen if dante does these: Quicksilver-stop time- do Round Trip (either on Rebellion, Sparda Sword, Alastor) Trickster- get in front of Kratos.. Equip Gilgamesh/Beowulf activate Doppelganger.. DO REAL IMPACT .. finishing it off with DDT MAJIN FORM.. Charge Attack = owned! phew! 😛 Or hell even unleash 1000s bats(blood sucking lighting bats that stick to him like leaches)or unleases Giant Cannon on him.
Or Sparda Cannon? Jackpot? The Blade wouldn't hurt him(not a Devil Arm). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5nqn0nYb8E&feature=related
Dante's swords arn't normal.(if you think they LOOK normal)if that's in the case Ares was killed with a Normal Sword.
DarkSlayer(Teleportation), Yamato/W JudgementCut, Ifrit, Beowulf, Artemis, Rebellion, Vendetta, Merceless, Pandora(666 Weapons), Alastor, Beowulf, Agni & Rudra, Cerberus(which he can summon ice crystals), Sparda's Sword, Force Edge,etc.
Dante sealed away omnipotent beings, slew immortal gods, felled legions of demons and angels, all without breaking a sweat. Realistically speaking, there are maybe two dozen characters in all of fiction that actually stand a chance of challenging a full-power Dante.
1) Dante slew Lucifer (A feat easily comparable, if not superior to, slaying Zeus, which Kratos has yet to do)
2) Dante can take 10,000,000 hits way better than Kratos can take one - check out the DMC3 intro scene to mission 1, where Dante gets stabbed like 6x and doesn't even notice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGv5w3kCVHc
3) While Kratos has power while holding the Blade of Olympus, standing next to a statue of the (now dead) Athena, and with a Titan...
Dante has dimentional seals.
Dante's gonna grow bored with the target practice and slam Kratos with a Jackpot/Eraser seal(In Hell--not Hades). In Greek Myth Hades was a cavern.
Dante CHOSE an eternity of torment at the end of DMC2, and fought his own way back out. He wouldn't need their help and would find just an easy time slaying lower level fiends like the harpies, and even higher level demons like the Furies, as he did slaying Argosax the most poweful evil God. Dante's Spiral has 10,000x range. Even if he does slow down time Dante is still fast. Kratos wouldn't be able to lift his blades(or would he). Slaying Lord of The Underworld? Berial?
Sparda Trigger/Sparda Cannon/Jackpot (Eraser) Seal would most probably tear Kratos apart. I don't remember what I said about The Blade but it might or might nor(which I doubt)hurt him.
Dante has fighting Styles.
(Don't forget the Greek Gods carried Mortal Bodies and died easily by getting impaled).So maybe Mundus wasn't AS powerful as Zeus. Argosax was. So was Odin. The Archangel isn't exactly a pushover. And let's not forget Satan! Just a few of the Gods and Deities Dante's utterly stomped in his long God-slaying career. Kratos controls time? So? Dante does, too - The Bangle of Time and Quiksilver.
Dante's devil blood make him an instant master with any weapon that has any affiliation with the divine or the underworld instantly - in this case, the Blades of Chaos/Athena. He'd be just as good as Kratos in a billionth of a second just by holding them. And if Kratos were strong enough to do that (Dante's stronger with Ifrit/Beowulf/Gilgamesh), Dante still has range over Kratos.
