Instead of Devils never Cry I should say Dante never gets Old.
I still have my doubts about that. If you're such a big fan of something you don't try to change it so much.
1. NTDante is faster than Nero, showcased by both his Angel and Demon dodges.
2. NT Dante (without Eryx) can punch out skyscraper sized Demon gods
3. Dante's physical Strength seems to be on par with Nero's without Eryx
4. Dante's "**** you physics" DT stops time and suspends enemies in the air. Nero doesn't have a counter for it.
1. If we are going by dodge speed, then Nero and Dante seems to have the same speed.
2. Dante punched Mundus while using his DT, more or less making Mundus float to and making it easier for Dante. Plus, let's not forget that Nero is actually stronger than DMC4 Dante in terms of raw strenght. Nero also can manifest a huge ass hand to crush things, like The Saviors face.
The Savior and Mundus are about the same size too.
3. From what we can see, I would guess Dante would have to use Eryx to be actually on the same level as Nero. Or maybe not. Kinda hard to compare when it is two different videogames.
4. Dante used his DT abilities in Limbo, we can't really if it works in the real world. The Vergil fight is an execption since Limbo and the real world was merged there. Hell, we don't even know if it would affect Nero since Vergil didn't seemed to be bothered by it.
Honestly, they would be evenly matched I say.
No doubt DmC Dante is strong but from I can see, Nero is stronger in terms of raw strenght. Plus, Nero have the advantage of his demon hand and can project a larger hand and extend it.
What says that Nero would be affected too? He's part demon and more human, we have no idea how humans would respond to it at all.Remember that Vergil wasn't bothered by Dante's DT because he was also a Nephilim. His doppelganger, however, totally effected by it
I agree that these are very valid arguments but in the end, there is alot of "if and maybe" from both of us. I don't think we can come to a good conclusion in the end.That's sort of the one problem I'm concerned about, because a lot of Nero's potential seems to come from the Devil Bringer itself. It also seems to be ineffective if its constricted. Sanctus stabbed it once and suddenly it was of no use
Well, Dante's Devil Trigger worked on a King of Hell, so I'd imagine there are very few immune to its effects, let alone a whatever/4s demon that Nero is :ermm: Logically, the only people it wouldn't work on would at least be the Nephilim (it's part of why they were so feared; their planewalking skillz are the ****~). I'm not sure why the less magically-inclined humans would be exempt from those same effects, they get effect by demon magic the most, really.
Maybe not a separate person, but the fact that his Devil Trigger is apparently good enough to constrict even magical energy projections is nothing to pass off. The Devil Bringer's hand is an energy projection, too, so Dante's DT could prove to be a great hindrance to it.

I wonder if it'd mean it could also effect Nero's DT spirit...
...This leads me to believe many think if some have a disappointment or two they're gonna hate or argue..Hmm.

Another thing about the Donte's DT, the time stop thing doesn't really seem to effect boss enimes rather than stopping them from performing a deadly attack. Heck when I used it on the Succubus she was still swinging at me >_> It certainly didn't slow down Vergil2 any.
1. You have no valid proof that Donte can blitz Nero. Not only does the Angel dodge never actually shown feats outside of battles with minor demon henchmen, it doesn't even distance him enough to counter the dreamrunners. Nero at the very least could handle going toe-to-toe with Dante and take down Credo who moves at supersonic speeds all over area. supersonic? im going to assume it was a exaggeration
2. Lol no that never happened dude. First off Mundus in his final form looks like he's about maybe the size of a 8 story building.
Second he is a demon king not a god. Just because he calls himself a god doesn't make him anywhere near godly and the fact remains he doesn't have to feats to justify such a title. Third Mundus didn't even have the size strength and mobility that the savior did. When he slams at the building Donte and Vergil2 were on it hardly even shakes from the impact. Not only that but when Donte used DT to punch him he blinded him momentarily before hitting him in the eye and with Eryx even then all he did was tumble backwards a little bit, heck he didn't even take a knee. Funny thing is when he threw Donte he didn't crash into the building rather just bounced off until Vergil2 caught him through a window.
3. No not even close. Nero very easily out muscle's Donte. Heck it isn't the same ballpark even with Eryx. Dante is surely inhuman in strength but he'd get his arms torn off if he tried to tackle Nero in a fist fight and that's a fact my friend fact? prove it. Just to get a multitude of feats, Nero fights Dante (who is toying with him) and he displays strength feats, speed feats, accuracy feats such as drop kicking Dante across a room then jumps back and fires a shot at him that would have tagged Dante mid-flight if he didn't block, whipping the giant stone sword, punches Dante across the room then appears right next to him punching Dante's face into a small crater in the ground, kicks the giant stone sword out of the statue's grip and ultimately getting told by Dante he underestimated Nero right because any random human can do what dante (DmC) does easily.Then the fact that apparently Nero's human arm isn't so weak either. As shown he does a multitude of moves that involves both arms, such as barraging with all his limbs during the Enchidna fight, ripping Chimera in half he actually uses his human arm to pull and his demon arm to hold them, and there's the scene with Santus where he beats he to a pulp with both arms then he holds him up with his human arm before one final uppercut.
One overlooked feat is when Nero puts a bunch of burning buildings out with a swing of his sword and blocks Berial's attack attack easily and over powers him without using his demon arm. overpowers? i dont seem to remember doing a no damage triple s never touch the ground run when i first battled him
4. Donte's **** you physics might be the only thing effective here as it will make Nero mad... so I guess that's something mad? ok go on dark souls hack in a character with maxed out vitality stat now tell me how you feel once you disable controls, even a weak enemy could turn you into a pile of ash a weak enemy and if arbiter is anything to judge by nero is going to get destroyed once he is incapable of moving. But just keep Kyrie away and he's just as crude
