I was just looking back at some moments from DmC and, when I looked at the Poison fight, I started thinking of things from a more scientific point of view. That's when I started noticing some patterns on how Dante interacts with his environments and enemies.
The first thing I noticed was how weird Dante's uppercut to Poison was. It wasn't anything special, just your average comic book mistake where the physics was off. Normally, if Dante uppercutted Poison, Poison's chin would crack and Dante's arm would break from the reactionary force. However, he sent her flying and knocked her out. Of course, there is also a classic comic book remedy for this. Dante just manipulated his momentum so that he continued upwards. This indicated that he could control his own inertia but that's not all. When he pulls on Poison's tongue, the tongue should snap from her mouth considering how much force he's pulling on it, but she goes along with him. Another comic book remedy, he can control his opponent's inertia.
I started noticing the same pattern with his other powers. For example, when if you demon pull a Tyrant, unless it is just absolutely solid, the spine of his back should have broke off. Instead, the Tyrant falls on his back. Or just the mere act of Angel Dashing, which pushes him forward and cancels out his upward momentum.
However, the need for it to be physics- based theory is unnecessary, it can be simply stated that Dante has control over physics while in Limbo, possibly due to his Devil heritage. However, his demon powers seem to be more centered on manipulating his surroundings (Devil Trigger making his enemies levitate, Demon Pull being able to pull down Tyrants) while his angel powers are more focused on him (Angel Dash pushing his momentum forwards, Angel Evade being a sudden acceleration change). We can see this in Vergil who is able to make parts of his environment and his enemies teleport towards him or he teleports to them.
