Dante(DMC4) vs Akuma
okay this is a pure fistfight, so Dante doesn't have any of his weapons (obviously). just so you know before yuo say that Dante isn't exactly a good H2H fighter, let me tell you that he happens to be an expert at mixed martial arts. okay, Akuma can use all of his attacks too.
lastly, Dante also can use devil trigger as a last resort to make his attacks stronger (again, obviously).
alright
ready?
FIGHT!!!!
Okay Dante is by no means weak. if you've seen the opening cutscene for DMC3 when he takes on the demons in his shop , you'll see that Dante isn't exactly skilled in H2H. as for in DMC4, he blocked a punch from the Savior (with some effort) which also should show you how physically strong he is, especially when you see that the Savior was pretty much leaning on him (i.e: all of his weight was on Dante) and Dante shrugged the fist off almost like nothing. you also forget how he more or less improvises on the fly.
that should tell you something.
oh yeah, I am who I am, Dante can only fly in DT when he has Nevan (the guitar weapon from DMC3) equiped. but since weapons are not allowed, he can't fly.
Hrnnnmmm...
Gouki didn't "Power up" to do that attack, he did it after testing Ryu, and there was no warning.
However, Gouki actually LANDING a hit like that right from the get-go is more than a little presuming... Dante can't hope to beat out Gouki's ki control enough to cause any real damage, but Gouki also isn't fast enough for a speedblitz...
I'd say if Dante can stun Gouki enough to cause him to lose Ki control long enough to actually launch a crippling (hopefully lethal) attack, then he could win. But the chance is slim, and he'll only get it once. If he fails, it's over... Gouki will paste him when pissed.

Okay you're full of shit.
Savior is at BEST a thousand feet tall, and that is a massive hype up in size.
The island Gouki was one had mountains bigger than Savior, it is compiled of earth and solid rock.
Gouki shattered that island. Easily. When he was not in his prime.
An atomic bomb cannot replicate Gouki's feat.
Show me, sounds like some of your bullshit, Saviour is not only large but far denser and contructed thicker than Earth and gravel, you would have to be a fool to think the islands body is stronger than Saviours, size is not the only factor to take into account when talking of density, strength or power, you seem to have difficulty with that concept.
Also I have heard many variations of this feat, some say he sunk the island, your saying he destroyed it, can you even show this feat?

As you can see from the exposion beginning to erupt from the mountain, and the fact that rocks were flying even as Ryu was in the water, all but shows us the island shattering to pieces. The notion that it "sunk" it unfounded.
That would take thousands of tons of force to accomplish. Care to bring a feat from Savior to prove he can take that?
Hell, does Savior have ONE durability feat?
Dante could just Royal Block all of Akuma's attacks. Since Dante can easily react to bullets without a time altering ability his reaction time must be beyond bullet speed. Unless Akuma is proven to attack faster than Mach 1.7 (roughly the speed of how fast the bullets fired from Nero's Blue Rose are going) then Dante is easily going to see it coming.
Royal Block blocks all possible damage from Dante and stores it as Angry Energy which then can be released back at a target for equivalent damage plus a little more. With Royal Release Dante counter attacks by passing through an enemy, while the enemy is attacking Dante, and releases all the Angry Energy into that target while receiving none of the damage from the enemy's attack.
With perfect timing Dante is impossible to hurt while he is using the Royal Guard style and the boss fights against him show that he has this timing even when he is not trying very hard at all.
Among the things that have been Royal Blocked (which is every attack in the games that have the style Royal Guard) are: a sword that is said to cut through anything including dimensions, explosives, holy rays of light, lasers, blades, bullets, an exploding bullet that is already lodged inside Dante's gut (that one surprised me), punches from the Savior, and possibly a ray beam from Mundus (one of the most powerful beings in the DMC games).
All the things that can be Royal Blocked can also be Royal Released however Dante will only travel a short distance (maybe 15 feet) during the attack and will only harm enemies within that distance. The Savior's holy beam attack cannot be royal released (to my knowledge) because it is a continuous attack.

erm wut? lol....what rubbish, as i thought, no island explodes or breaks apart or "shatters" as you like to put it, all we see is one explosion from the middle of the island, an island not much bigger than Saviour if at all from your video.
Thousands of tons of force to cause the tiny explosion? the one we see in the video? or is there another (likely in your imagination). And furthermore, Saviour needs no feat other than what he is, unless the island has another incredible feat somewhere, its still nothing but gravel and natural rock, and still only a small part of it was smashed, hell we dont even see whats causing the fiery plume.
No more than the island......
