Not only indicated.
GameTap: I noticed in the fight from the trailer that Nero is doing some pretty amazing things as well. Is that meant to suggest to people that Nero is just as good as Dante in a fight, if not better?
Hiroyuki Kobayashi: What I was trying to create in that scene was that Nero is a kid compared to Dante. Nero is just a kid even though he’s grown up. Dante is just playing with Nero and he’s just letting himself get hit and being like “Ah, that doesn’t hurt” or “Oh, getting hit by a sword, that doesn’t bother me.” He’s letting Nero hit him, but Nero--who thinks Dante is an enemy--is trying to take down Dante with all of his might. But Dante is just toying with him.

could've sworn this fight was done several times before. as always Dante would win this. he's much more powerful and experienced.
