ok. how about for this thread we put our favoritism aside and view this logically. for this example i will use DmC dante (post full potential reached) and DMC3 dante (post second battle with vergil). right off the bat we should know that both dante's are more powerful than their fathers. and the DMC3 dante is far more powerful than any devil in hell and so is DmC dante. however, DmC dante has an advantage over DMC3 dante. DMC3 dante is cambion. Cambions are more powerful than angels and demons. therefore DMC3 dante seems to be stronger, but when you think about it, DmC dante is nephilim. a child of both angel and demon. he has the best of both worlds. something DMC3 dante doesn't have. then again, DMC3 dante has more experience and skill than DmC dante. He has known of his power since he could talk. DmC dante didn't even know what he was until he was a teenager. DMC3 dante also knows multiple fighting styles where as DmC dante just tosses stuff around kinda sloppily. DmC dante has a more powerful DT though. It is so powerful it was able to wipe out vergil's doppelganger. however, it is hinted that vergil wasn't using his full power in that fight. We also have the deal with weapons. DmC dante has some pretty powerful equipment but DMC3 dante's devil arms are very powerful. His rebellion and maybe A&R could rival DmC rebellion, osiris, and arbiter. there are many more abilities that are so similar they rival each other but at the end of the day, i think that it will tie and the two will go out for pizza then kick some demon ass
