(This applies to both the new and old one.)
He grew up in the slums for most of his childhood and teenage life, so how exactly does he know how to use a giant scythe?
Or three stick ice nunchucks?
Him being extremely skilled with Rebellion and E&I makes sense, he grew up with the things, but not all the others. (Guns are excused though, well, except for Pandora.)
His natural abilities don't explain it because: Strength, speed, and stamina does not automatically make you skillful at any weapon you just so happen to pick up.
So, the only thing I can think of that explains this is this fan theory I made:
Dante is a "Combatant Genius".
Which basically means that just by analyzing the weight, shape, and texture of a weapon(and possibly feeling it's "magical potential"), he can accurately guess the best way to use a weapon. Which explains how after acquiring a move/ability, or seeing a vision of one, or how ever the f*ck the Divinity Statues work, he can do the move or ability almost perfectly.

This can also explain why, in DmC, Dante got the shape shifting sword but not Vegil. His parents might have know he had this trait/ability and gave him the weapon that best fit him.
And if Vergil didn't have this ability/trait, and Sparda & Eva knew, it would explain why he was given the unchanging(But powerful.) Yamato to specialize with.
(I am very well aware that I am mostly likely over-thinking things and that it's probably just for game-play convenience, but I don't care, I just like to speculate about these kind of things.)
