I thought DMC 1 Instruction Manual stated that Sparda took on Mundus alone, yet had help dealing with the armies. Granted, I highly doubt Dante has surpassed Sparda's powers. Why do I say this? Well for instance, look at it like this. Compared to how much of a legacy Sparda had, what exactly has Dante built? What without Lucia's help in DMC 2, Trish's help in DMC 1 and even Vergil's in DMC 3. Not to note DMC 4, where even Nero showed to overpower Dante at points. Yes, Dante is a tough opponent. Yes, a master swordsman and gunslinger. But compared to his father Sparda, he is just half of his dad's power.
Sparda fought mainly for his love and his beliefs. Those things are more worth fighting for than any other thing. Dante is fighting for what? Because he is emotional over his mother's death? In DMC 3 it looks like he doesn't even care about his father Sparda. All he is trying to do is stop evil, just because that is what he follows. He will let his emotions get in the way, same as Vergil. Vergil had the ability to kill Dante atop Temen-Ni-Gru. He didn't though, instead awakened Dante's Devil Trigger.
Was it not for the Sparda sword in DMC 1, Dante would of never of stood a chance against Mundus. And wrong about the whole Mundus thing. If Mundus was as strong as you lot say, then he could easily defeat Sparda and Dante right? Considering Dante and Vergil are of equal power, the only difference being how they go about obtaining it. But nonetheless, both born equal. Vergil failed because he ran into something that he thought he could take. He let his ego talk, and his power get to him. He should of been patient like Dante, and I'm sure Sparda was patient also. Sparda must of bided his time, and fought his way up to Mundus. He didn't just do it in the blink of an eye.
Looking at that, Mundus should of been able to take Sparda and Dante. Yet he failed.
And Sparda sealed Mundus for 2000 years. Dante did the same, but only thanks to Trish (He did not do it alone, whereas Sparda did)
As for destroying enemies. I believe that some may of fled, and others were defeated but not destroyed. Sparda may of defeated Griffon, and easy challenge so to say. But there's no saying Griffon didn't fly off. Or that Phantom didn't scurry away. Who is to say that he didn't just seal those demons also, as well as Mundus?
A matter of fact is that Sparda has been portrayed as a Legend. The Legendary Dark Knight Sparda. One of the main Protagonists of Devil May Cry. As well as Dante of course. But even so, Sparda may not even be dead for all we know. So if he is alive, Dante has no way surpassed him at all. He is the toughest in my opinion, and those are just some points.
