If Dante has lightning speed then speed/reactions would be moot.
[Note the 'if', cba with stating that up again here >__>]
With the CH/QS/TB time powers Dante would have the advantage in speed and mobility.
[Kratos' time resistance is A) on a not-extremely-slow time-slow and B) is from Fate-time which his Fate-Time Amulet was created to cover him from]
With his best strength amps Dante should be able to do /some/ kind of damage...
[Note the 'some'. Also saying now that Kratos does not have Zeus+BoO blade edge resistance. He can still be gutting by a stab from Zeus.]
...and with Yamato, Dante should have an easier time damaging Kratos.
[Either from being able to cut through dimensions or from the figures on what it allows the user to cut]
I'd also wager that his Hax > Kratos'. So it'd be a closer match than you think.

How good is Dante's time-manip again?
Also cannot see the Bangle of Time being a canon item to be honest. IIRC, you get it from a secret mission, and it isn't necessary for the game.
Fate-based time? It's still Time-Manip, and if light is slowed down to a crawl, he does have some degree of resistance to an extremely slow-time-slow.
He does have Zeus' strength + BoO edge resistance, as he can take slashes without being slowed down. When he gets gutted, it is by stabs from Zeus to his torso (hell, he guts himself with the BoO), but its not like he is incapable of stopping those, if not with his Fleece, then with his bare hands.
Meh, agreed I guess. Kratos cannot stand still and take Yamato slashes all day without getting hurt.
Dante won't be hitting Kratos with it though. awesome
Light Manip > All. vin

Min 1/1,000th, though do need to get back on the hight issue. How high would you say they are? For a lil reference you can see how high the spikes the rocks pass are. Id say 50m for the spikes if that ledge at 2:26 is 8m tall, a tad over 4x Dante's height as seen at 5:30.
Also not-not canon for being a real in-game item.. meh, on the fence with it.
Fate-time as in the time effect spun from the Statues. If it was a random time-resist amulet then he'd be able to resist it, but the Amulet, Statue and Sisters are all connected. That would make it specific to the time effect from the Statues. And its light energy, not SoL light. When he breaks the crystal we momentarily see the real speed, and its as fast as Kratos. In fact, by eye I'd say its at the same speed as when he activates it again, 1/3rd.
So he has super-tough hands but a soft body? Thats a trope iirc. I mean, in Nero's DB grab on Dante, Dante has his palm on his blade edge with Nero's DB pushing on the other side. I couldn't go and say he can resist this as he can be stabbed by Nero. If Kratos can be stabbed by Zeus, his resistance will have to be below that stab.
He would with lightnin' speed. Orr... Judgement Slash away, the 'run the **** away' option. :3
Cue ball trick shot > Light Manip peaches
kratos was made a god, given powers, dante had hereditary powers and not fully realized. in alll of dmc 4, dante held back. by the time of dmc 4, dante had become FAR , FAR , FAR stronger. and he didnt even need to use his demon form to battle a titanic creature. he earned his powers, perfected them, kratos just got them, leveled up by the no. of monsters he killed. thats the difference. dante is younger and still more powerful than kratos. do gow 3 kratos vs dmc 4 dante (i wont say dmc 3 cuz it was just a prequel) .... dante wil win with 3 hp remaining after a month long battle.

Normal stats for both, Dante Get's all of Kratos weapons and abilities from all games, Kratos Get's all of Dante's abilities from all games.
this is a weird battle :/ i'm going to assume that when you say equalize you mean put on par.
round 1: hard to decide. dante definitely has more stamina and he just heals everything. he gets grabbed by giant worms and crushed but just jumps out no harm done. whereas kratos definitely feels those things as you can notice him wearing down. Dante has fought god's and colossal demons and usually wins without hassle while kratos has died several times when facing alot of enemies. although i keep feeling that kratos somehow has more stamina due to the brutality of the enemies he faces. then again dante fought a skyscraper demon and pretty easily shunned it off. dante picks up motorcycles with one hand like a pizza box and stops attacks from giant demons... so does kratos in nearly every aspect. i'm gonna put this one down to stamina and say dante because dante never gets tired or worn out. also with the durability dante is practically invincible in devil form so i'll give this to dante.
round 2: i think it's pretty obvious who wins this one. dante can dodge bullets, lighting, meteors, rpg's, and even shockwaves. he jumps extremely quickly and is fast enough to run up a building. in devil form dante posses even faster movement speed and the added ability of flight. also dante has lighting fast reflexes and almost a spider sense of sorts. he anticipates attacks with ease and can switch from sword to gun in an instant. sure kratos has pretty fast reflexes to deflect lighting but i don't think he could deflect a shotgun blast to the face let alone ebony and ivory's speed shooting. dante wins this one.
round three... this is weird... i'll assume some of these. if they each keep their own abilities aswell it's a tie. they have the same weapons and same special abilities with tied stats. it's a no brainer. if i had to choose though i'd say dante because he is more adaptable in the brain department when it comes to improvised situations. if they completely switch abilities then it's stupid because they're basically the same people just with different haircuts and sense of fashion. kratos would win because dante's abilities are greater than that of kratos but kratos is basically dante now...
dante wins
i'm gonna add this in i thought round three was stupid. forgetting those previous conditions dante would beat kratos because he bests him in most areas of abilities like i outlined before.
