A gauntlet match for those who are not aware is when one guy (or girl) (or more) take on a series of opponents. Gauntlet matches in OBF or fiction usually includes the entire universe or all the characters (bosses, etc) of a series and ranks the characters by weakest to strongest and they assess how far a particular character can make up said roster of that series. If they can make it to the end or not.
The challenger is:
VS
The entire DMC universe.
Okay now the rules.
This discussion excludes non-game materials such as the novels and mangas with the exception of Baal, Modeus, and Sid/Abigail. DmC Dante faces each opponent after being fully rested so he is in top prime condition with each fight. This list also excludes characters who can't fight such as Kyrie and Enzo. Though non-game materials aren't included characters who are in the games and non-game materials will have feats from both materials counted if it makes sense so alternate universe Trish (DMC2 novel) doesn't count as regular Trish, same goes for alternate universe Nelo Angelo....you know what just exclude DMC2 novel period if you want to. Also even enemies as silly as it may sounds counts.
I'll list the tier of the DMC universe based on MY own perceptions and how I see it. Feel free to disagree with this list if you feel so. Its listed by tier and the characters aren't in any particular order but the top will....also all Dantes are counted as different characters.
