ScreamPaste, don't take this personally or anything because I support your stance on this thread, but your debating style annoys me at times.
You often make these strong, valid arguments often but then you go use one of those emoticons or smilies or whatever and you painfully rob yourself of force and conceivability.
I beg you man, debate with more force. It will help you out in the long run, especially against someone of Gumachi's debating tendencies which include haphazard hyping of empty titles, featless foes, and unfortunate uses of no limits fallacy.
I will state plainly that I feel Link can simply tank all but Dante's strongest Devil Trigger attacks such as his Desperation Devil Trigger moves from DMC 2, and for that there is always Nayru's love.
Dante hasn't shown plain out invulnerability like Link has. Dante isn't as thick skinned as Link, and his longevity is due to his regeneration. He has been hurt greatly at several points. His regeneration isn't insurmountable in the least....the limitation of it being possible to overwhelm with frequent attacks or powerful one shots has been demonstrated. (of the course the weapon in question has to be strong in the first place, not grunt weapons.)
It also seems to have a direct tie to his stamina.
Dante was breathing heavily after Vergil impaled him once with the Yamato and then once again with Dante's own sword. He promptly fainted after the encounter.
Dante took nearly a minute to recover completely from Alastor impaling him simply ONCE. He was visibly and audibly hurt from the blow.
Dante was reaching his limits in the fight against Mundus, which Mundus gloated about. Dante was breathing heavily and was desperately muttering to himself before Trish came with the save and gave her powers to him.
