Zero vs dante.

Started by Acrosurge2 pages

Cutting and KOing are both options for Zero to use. I could make a case for Zero being quite a bit stronger physically than Dante (Zero has punched through 4-foot-thick metal floor as though it were cardboard) and more durable (he regularly shrugs off saber wounds and ludicrously large blasts of plasma). I don't think he'd fall behind in the speed, agility, and reflexes categories either. He is an android, after all, and one created specifically for mass destruction.

As for the Z-Saber, it can change size, shape and composition depending on Zero's needs. You said the blade needed to be long; is this long enough?

or this:

or this:

maybe this:

I'm thinking Dante speed blitzes, tbh.

Thing is, Zero is just as fast (android reflexes and his dash accelerator). And if Dante is allowed to access Quicksilver, than Zero should be allowed to access Dark Hold (which stops time completely).

As fast? That I don't believe. What's Zero's best speed feat?

Dante can stop time as well. And, bascially, QS is like stopping time.

I don't have any running speeds for you, but in combat speed, Zero was able to defeat Sage Harpuia, Fenri Lunaedge, and various other speedsters and teleporters (as well as teleporting speedsters). I'll list them all, if you wish. Harpuia and Lunaedge at least both have functional speed stated to be over Mach 1.

Zero also routinely dodges particle weapons fire, but some might chalk this up to game mechanics. The points in my first paragraph are well documented however. *shrugs*

In Mega Man Zero 3, Zero uses a technique called 1000 Slash to deliver a speed blitz. In X8, he makes use of a similar technique, the Renyoudan.

Finally, while using the Raikousen technique, Zero seems to move so fast that he vanishes from sight.

All that to say, I don't think Dante could overwhelm Zero with speed alone. Too much evidence to the contrary. Even if it were possible, Zero could still use Shin-Messenko, which is an area attack and his most powerful innate ability.

True, which is why if Quicksilver is allowed for Dante, Zero should be able to counter with Dark Hold.

What are Dante's speed feats without the use of Quicksilver? What about his strength feats? He can punch through stone, but can he punch through steel? Should we talk durability feats too? Zero has ridden a nuclear missle with Omega as its warhead to ground zero and walked away from the blast.

Dante (and Vergil) put a shield over him...and prevented the rain from hitting him. His hits were invisible. He also swung around a sword before the glass hit the floor. Also caught on fire from running. Can you show a vid? I wonder if they're faster than Vergil?

EDIT: How? Unless he can stop it with his mind(like, Dante--I can show you the vid on how slow he will be). Also, he has Chrono Heart(which everytime he gets hits, time slows).

Dark Hold completely stops time. Zero just wills it and it happens. There are youtube vids displaying just about all of Zero's techniques, but you'll have to wait if you want me to isolate them for you.

Dante can function on a speed where he can shoot bullets as they come to him. That>simply fighting someone who can run at mach 1.

My money's on Dante. He wins speed, but Zero wins strength.

leaning to zero. he took on a being that can take control of a plane of souls and resist him
