Seriously, NT?

Before you decide to proceed further, I just wanted to let you know that I am aware these little holes are deliberately created by the developers to give the protagonist leverage. I am doing this only for fun.

Alright, I've got these two questions that I haven't been able to figure out as of yet.

First is, why didn't The Hunter just kill Dante when he had the upper hand in the mission "Found"? We obviously know he couldn't be harmed by Ebony and Ivory, he had a huge grappling hook and he was six times the size of Dante. It would have been much more easier if he would quit trying to kill him with a roller coaster and just bash his skull through the concrete, don't you think?

Second is, did Dante just stop time in the mission "The Trade"?If he really did, how did he? He wasn't able to do that in the game, and he obviously wasn't using Devil Trigger. My theory is that Mundus' magic thing which totally devastated the environment was keeping them afloat, but it wasn't since both Kat and Vergil were in slow-mo. So, really, how?!
 
1. Because then we wouldn't have a game.

2. To show off the Vergilmobile.

That's all I have. I'm sorry.
 
All the platforms you were on before the actual boss fight would have been to small for the hunter to fight properly on.
 
I know you hate DmC for hardly any real reason but come on dude. You are really reaching and should come up with better stuff than this. Fandumb.

1. Dante isn't so easy to kill. It's why he's the one who killed the Hunter and not the other way around. Duh.

2. Dante is The One.

How long you gonna keep crying about DmC? It's been over a year now. Get over yourself man.
 
1; He's called a HUNTER for a reason. Hunters don't just go charging in on their prey, they plan out a strategy before going in for the kill.

2; I think Limbo was just messing up at random moments at a time.

Friggin' this. Dante might not have been able to injure him with bullets, but the Hunter knows damn well that Dante is dangerous. Hunters (in general) are about killing the prey with no more effort than necessary, and if they're dangerous prey, doing whatever necessary to mitigate the risks.

The prevailing opinion for point 2 is that Mundus' blast was such a powerful and inaccurate shot of Malice that it started messing with the flow of time for Dante. Dante seemed to be half-in Limbo, because we don't see anyone as a ghost-like form like they usually would be. To Vergil and Kat, Dante probably seemed like a blur when he was moving during the playable parts of the Mission.

It's like Mundus aimed a giant net at Dante's general direction to pull him into Limbo and crush him there, but because it was giant net, he was moving between the strands of the net (when timed slowed) while he, Vergil, and Kat made their escape.

I've been accused a number of times for overly protecting the reboot, but this..this is something new.
Relax, I very well stated the fact that the reboot is my favorite of all DMCs in the "Favorite DMC" thread, and as I mentioned earlier, I am aware that this is done for nothing other than to give the main character leverage. It's done in several videogames too, and It's VERY common in movies.

So, his battle plan was to wait for Dante to reach an open area, giving him plenty of options and therefore decreasing his chance for a victory?

Yeah it's very possible, but it would have worked better if NT actually bothered itself to introduce us to Limbo's physical laws, or Mundus' true power. It's not only that; NT has left us with a lot I am not quite sure they'll answer in future installments.

When all your plans don't work as a hunter, what's left to do then? just go full on and attack.

That's usually how hunters are.

He gave into hubris and wanted to play "cat and mouse" with Dante. Sometimes you gotta find your own fun at work.

Dante stops time as part of his DT so he just did it on a larger scale or just became aware that he could do it.

-With all the trouble Dante has been causing to him, Mundus would know better than to sent somebody with a sadistic sense of humor to kill him. Either way, if Dante didn't kill The Hunter, Mundus would because of that failure.

-Why didn't he do it later in the game, then? It would have been extremely useful against Mundus' minions.

It doesn't stop time, it just sends things up into the air and makes them turn very slowly. Use DT against a boss, or demon pull a regular enemy back down to the ground whilst in DT; they move normally.

Dante's DT is pretty crappy to be honest. Making everything airborne and unable to fight back is boring, and the idiotic colour scheme is just annoying - DT against Mundus is especially lulz worthy, he becomes invisible until about a second before he lands an attack.
 
The hunter did try to kill Dante several ways. At first he tried the claw, but missed, only hitting Dante's trailer. Jumping into the water to get a better position than the rocks so far away gave Dante enough time to get his bearings until the Hunter emerged, closer, to try the claw again ripping the pier apart to drop Dante into the abyss. Fail. Not wanting to confront Dante on such narrow uneven terrain, the hunter disappears to cut him off later. He threw the Ferris wheel at him, but that failed. It seemed he knew Dante was potentially dangerous and direct confrontation would only come as a last resort. When Dante escaped into the fun house, I suppose the Hunter got frustrated and brave- after all his mark only evaded his attacks up to that point, so he couldn't be that tough, right? The hunter charged headfirst into the fun-house after Dante and attempted a direct surprise attack and realized that Dante is capable of fighting back competently- especially in such a small, confined space. The hunter regrouped after that short bout and set up a surprise attack when Dante exited the structure. A throw of his knife evaded at the last second and Now Dante was about to escape limbo with Kat and make it to safety. At that point, it was now or never and not wanting to disappoint his master by losing his target after getting so close, the hunter used the claw to block Dante's path forcing a death match in an area large enough for the big demon to freely move. He loses, of course. Like he figured, Dante was too much for him.
