Video Game Fans: Dante from DMC = coolest character ever?

[Ben...]

Whip Dart shooting out from palm vs a Vampire Killer whip that evolves...

Vampire Killer whip that evolves wins

Scorpion is a decent character, but never been too fond of Mortal Kombat in general.


- Leo.

Scorpion takes off his mask and essentially cremates dudes with his flame breath. He would just burn Vampire Killer guy before he could react. Of course you would have to hold block, hit up twice then high punch three times. Or he could spear and uppercut Dante repeatedly in cheap Scorpion fighting tradition.

[Newc]

Scorpion's Spear would be ineffective, as when Scorpion launches it, Dante would simply shoot it (as he does with bullets when he's being shot at in DMC4).
He's also got way better reflexes than to get caught by Scorpion's teleport move, or his flamebreath.

Kratos is aggression without finesse, so he falls to Dante's superior agility and cunning after flailing about angrily.

Master Chief is a tank. Though it would take some time, Dante would eventually tear Master Chief a new one.

Leon Kennedy is a mere mortal, Dante is the Devil's son. You tell me who wins.

Sephiroth. This would be a breeze. Sephiroth would open his combat menu and select his +40 Rain Of Fire spell, then wait for his next turn. Dante would skillfully dodge the firey rain as he was both shooting Sephiroth in the head repeatedly and drilling his sword through his colon.

[Snoogans]

Duke Nukem would kick all their asses, and make off with their girlfriends....

[Newc]

No, he wouldn't. He'd fire a few rounds at Dante only to have each one shot down immediately, then either catch hellfire from the guns or just be split down the middle with a Devil Trigger-powered sword slash.

The rest of the Video Game world vs Dante:

Ryu Hayabusa (Ninja Gaiden) - this fight might end in a draw. Granted Hayabusa is a spirit more than flesh (as evidenced in the end of the first N.G. on Xbox), but Dante has that whole Devil Trigger/Spirit World connection going.

Alucard (Symphony of the Night) - Despite being Dracula's son, the fact that his name is Dracula spelled backwards is enough to seal his doom against Dante. I mean, you simply cannot out-style Dante with cheese like that, Vampire or not.

The Belmonts (Castlevania - Trevor, Richter, Simon, Alvin, Theodore, whatever) - Not a chance. Granted they've got Holy Power on their side, but frankly, Dante would make mince meat of them and feed them their own whips. Especially Simon's flamey one.

Bayonetta (not yet released) - Remains to be seen what all she's got, but the hair might give Dante trouble.

Cloud Strife (Final Fagasy) - No. Pretty-boys-who-look-more-like-titless-girls will die screaming like the little girls Squaresoft's designers wished they were.

Solid Snake (Metal Gear) - Again, you pit human against Dante, and Dante wins.

Anyone from Street Fighter - All dead. Even Akuma. And that little fag with the bombs. God I hate that guy.

Agent 47 (Hitman) - No contest. 47 might be a great assassin, but he's just a man. A genetically-engineered killing machine, but still a man, thus Dante wins.

Wolverine (X-Men Origins when he still had the Adamantium) - Another tough one, but once Wolverine's vital organs are exposed, he's toast.

Mario (Super Mario Brothers) - Dead. Italian. Plumber.

Link (Legend of Zelda) - Seriously?

Onimusha (Genma Onimusha - Xbox) - Nope. Granted he's got the Hayabusa thing going with the reincarnated spirit, but Dante's got the keys to both worlds.

James Bond - My hero. My dead hero. Would probably end up with his exploding cufflinks in his ears and his own nuts in his mouth. Shaken, not stirred.

Rygar - The yo-yo shield is a neat gimmick, but frankly he'd be both toast AND jam.

Frank West (Dead Rising) - C'mon, a freelance photographer? Granted he did beat Brock, an experienced Marine/Seal/Special Forces commando, as well as 50K+ zombies, AND still got the girl, but unless he's got a super-atomic camera flash that will roast Dante's flesh, ummmm, no. Zombies and Special Forces are stupid and slow, but not Dante.

Sam Fisher (Sphincter Smell) - Aging Special Ops guy in a neoprene suit vs a perpetually-young guy with the Devil's arm? Sorry, Sammy.

The entire Dead Or Alive cast at once - Dead in 5..4..3..2..1

The entire Tekken cast (all 6 games) - Yakuza might prove a problem since he's also got a Devil thing, but really, he'd be distracted by his dad, or Jun, and thus end up split in half.

Whatsisface from Half-Life - No tire tool/pipe-wrench-swinging science geek is gonna get very far against Dante.

Spider-Man - Gotta give Spidey the nod for the reflexes and Spidey-sense to anticipate attacks, but he's just a kid, so he's going down.

SuperMan - SuperMan wins. Period. He's indestructable. Though he is allergic to magic. Hmmmmmm....

Batman (Lego or otherwise) - The Dark Knight goes for The Dirt Nap. Christian Bale has to find a new gig.

50 Cent (Blood On The Sand) - I'd actually love to see this fight, if only to see the punkass bitch "gangsta" get schooled.

Altair (Assassin's Creed) - While he's a sneaky-snake, I really don't think he could take down Dante.

The soldiers from the Call Of Duty series - Only trouble for Dante would be from the ones being controlled by a guy with a controller in his hand. The computer-controlled asshats would just stand around getting shot, letting someone else do all the work.

Lara Croft - If she'd lift her shirt, she might have a chance. While Dante's busy catching wood, she could give him a knee-job, but she'd have to make a speech before she shot him in the head, and then fight with her own conscience over whether she should or not, by which time he would have cut off her head.

Darth Vader - Dark Lord Of The Sith. The Man with the Power of Voodoo. Pfft. It'd be a spectacular battle, but in the end, Dante would win. C'mon, he's the Devil's son AND he beat the Devil AND his own twin brother who got all the Evil Inside! Hell-o!!!??


So there you have it. Irrefutable evidence that Dante is the coolest character ever.

[Rsmacker]

Fuck off, Miner Willy from Manic Miner is the best.

[Snoogans]

Oh yeah, NOBODY fucks with the Dante....

[Ben...]

Duke Nukem would kick all their asses, and make off with their girlfriends....

YES!!! Always bet on Duke!

[Jacksonguy666]

Blasphemy!

I'm a pretty big MK nut. I only like a few video games and MK is in my top 5 for sure. Mainly the 2D ones though, they really went downhill once they took to the 3D style.

IMO thats EXACTLY what happened to CV. 2d=wood in my pants, 3d=I want to bang my head on a desk.

My favorite was the Call of Duty "Ass hats"!
But I must disagree with the CV. The Belmonts whip is mean't to kill Vampires, and evil in general. It has been stated in the series, that Dracula is the HUman form of the devil. There fore the whip kills the devil, and also son of the devil, so, Dante. Now based on this same knowledge, Alucard is also the son of the devil, making him and Dante one and the same. Then it is up to anyone. I choose Alucard because I am a CV Fanatic, you choose Dante because you like it better. Simple as that! No point in arguing, but VERY funny list, i thoroughly enjoyed it!

[Jacksonguy666]

Also, if Rygar is toast and jam, why not just say toejam? :idea:

[GodOfRhythm]

You can't kill Wolverine, Wolverine vs Dante would be a neverending draw.

[Jacksons Shred]

Dante = Homo.

Scorpion wins by default.

[Dred]

Dante = Homo.

Scorpion wins by default.

You Suck

-Shao Kahn


Though I agree with the homo statement.

[DRM]

Solid Snake is the ultimate badass. In all honesty, I gotta give it to Big Boss...having a knife in MGS3 added an entirely different dimension of badass to the franchise.

Dante's flashy and has special powers...Snake is just a man who kills entire armies and walking nuclear-warhead-launching tanks. That's kinda hard. lol
