Devil May Cry 3 vs God of War

[CABLE]

Which would win, id say DMC3 by a lot. GOW is relativly easy compared to DMC3

[aLkeMiSt]

Ehh.. I'll have to go with god of war on this one.

[Tsukiyomi]

I just finished DMC 3 today, it was one of the hardest games I've ever played (on mission 18 you have to fight every boss thus far in the entire friggen game again, except their AI has been beefed up).

I'm not done with God of War yet, but its much easier than DMC 3, especially playing on Dante Must Die or Heaven and Hell modes.

[Zariel]

Tsukiyomi, have you tried God of War on Hell yet, three hits from a normal solider kills you. minotaurs two hits. Its crazy.
Though I will not vote because I have not played DMC3

[CABLE]

Tsukiyomi, what mode did you beat it on that you said you just beat?

[Tsukiyomi]

I should have been more specific, I just finished most of 'Dante Must Die', I'm working on getting Heaven or Hell right now. Its getting to be that a single level will take me days and several tries to beat (as opposed to like 3 minutes on normal mode). I've finished normal and hard, but haven't touched easy.

Dante must die is near impossible unless you've maxed out health, devil trigger and have mastered the use of the different styles. You also need a shitload of items.

All enemies not killed in like 20 seconds go devil trigger.

[gosuplayer]

Also DMC3 Is Such Much Cooler than a stupid spartan warrior

[Code]

Also DMC3 Is Such Much Cooler than a stupid spartan warrior
Dante is equal to Kratos at most...(Dante falls in love with humans =\ If not for the romance, he would be cooler than he already is). Kratos just wants to kill people...

[Ninja Genius]

I haven't finished DMC3 yet, but I'm rather far and I beat dmc1 and 2 but I still don't know who this human is that dante supposesly falls in love with?

[Gooba]

Kratos is awesome because his life matches the life of my friend Frank before his great battle with Zeus. It was so awesome that you could grab helpless villagers running by you and stab the crap out of their gut for health.

Still, Dante was way better back in 01 when it came out, so I am giving it to him.

[KoNoHa HUSTLA]

I would have to go with dmc3 god of war was too easy and short as in control wise and mission.DMC3 is one of hardest action adventures game i ever played.I got stuck on a couple of mission that had me walk away and just say screw this game im returning it and get my money back and i just got the game 2 days ago and then you say later on in the game you will have to fight every boss in the game? :blink NOOOOOO!!!!

[wolfman_120]

I just played God Of War and I got to wondering that out of the two who would win?

I say Kratos...

[martryn]

I'm playing God of War right now, and although I'm not very far yet, from the beginning of the game Kratos is a badass, so I vote him too.

[Meizu]

Kratos VS Dante..
well i could make it complicated and ask what weapons they have but i wont. They would beat the crap out of eachother until there both bloody and then i see dante transforming after taking a fall and bringing Kratos to yet another death.

its a epic fight if anything, iv played god of war AND Devil may cry 3 (1&2) two badasses for sure.

[Aznpinoy]

finally someone puts a good fight on the table, hmmmmm close fight but both are crazy and will eventually kill each other, but it'd be great to watch

[Orochi_King]

i never played that game before i only played devil may cry 1-3 well i ll buy that game but for now ill vote for dante

[wolfman_120]

I need more people to post on here. I am still wondering who would win and the damn poll is EVEN. Like come on. And I deserve rep for thinking of such a good fight...

[metronomy]

i never played that game before i only played devil may cry 1-3 well i ll buy that game but for now ill vote for dante

how can you vote on this poll if you havent played the other game :blink

Hmmm this one is really close! but after playing devil may cry 3 id say Dante

[Feathers!]

Ive played God of war and the fact that kratos can throw lightning and other myth god like powers make me choose him... i wont list the so i dont spoil it for those who havent played. I think Dante would get his head ripped off... have you seen some of Kratos' boss battles?!

Dante is badass tho so he'd go down like a true "G".

[Id]

Dante from DMC would own especially if he transforms into his uberr demon form form 2(the one were he cant be damaged)

[Malthara]

With dante you have to remember his sequals are like prequels. DMC3 was a prequel so technically gotta go by 1.. didn't like 2 much but still i'd go with him.. but i haven't played god of war so can't really vote. I've seen alot of previews of it but that's not enough they do seem the same type though.

[Itachi Pwnz All]

Kratos loses to Dante....Because Spawn (Al Simmons) beats Kratos...And Dante can beat Spawn.

[jemakai]

Why are people saying that Dante has his devil form yet they forget Kratos has his wrath of the gods form which if maxed out gives him infinite magic? This will probably be a tie or kratos thanks to what I assume is more experience.

[XxShadowxX]

All maxed out Abilities, Kratos wins, otherwise it kind of depends >.>


(Should throw Ryu Hayabusa in there too.)

[Yami no Takeshi]

Maxed out it has to be Kratos.
The guy gets to throws the lightning of Zeus! :blink

[Crys]

My friends and I were discussing this after school today and we've come up with interesting concepts. About half of us would say either one wins and then the other half say it would be a dead heat. Dante has DT, Kratos has something similar. Kratos is a carnage machine while Dante is more of a compassionate and suave killer...

Half God-Half Devil
Damn Good fight
no winner

[Comic Book Guy]

All maxed out Abilities, Kratos wins, otherwise it kind of depends >.>

Can probably counter with Super Dante with Quicksilver style or Time Bangle.

[Delta Shell]

Yeah, Super Dante with time stopping abilities is pretty ridiculous.

Also there's flying in outerspace Sparda Dante.

[Comic Book Guy]

Combined with Super Dante, that equals infinite DT Dragon attack.

[The Emperor]

was planning to open this match today but then I said no it is clear who is stronger!!!

DANTE WINS!!! Why??


Time stop!!

Dante stabs him with his sword and shoots him with ebony and evony? Kratos is dead!!!

Don't you remember how Kratos was killed with a thrown pillar???

And yeah dante can fly and shoot fireballs with his demon form

[Nexas]

Despite being a complete and total badass Kratos is still a mere mortal, and can be killed wounds that are severe enough. Also I don't think Kratos can dodge bullets.

[CAIMERMAN03]

I would consider it a chaotic draw. Both of them are extremely powerful. But considering that Kratos killed Ares, the God of War, and succeeded him, I think Kratos would definitely win this one. Kratos could match Dante's speed and the versatility of his chains would make up just about any distance between them.

[Comic Book Guy]

Kratos killed Ares, God of War, and succeeded him.

Dante killed Mundus, the Devil Prince of Evil, and then the Despair Embodied.

I'm not sure whether Kratos could match Dante's speed. Example of Dante's speed is in the cutscene of him vs. Vergil on the tower, fighting as the raindrops stood still due from our POV.

[The Nameless Pharaoh]

All maxed out Abilities, Kratos wins, otherwise it kind of depends >.>

Kratos can turn Dante into stone.

Anyways Kratos FTW easily.

[Comic Book Guy]

Kratos can turn Dante into stone.

With Medusa's Head, yes. Unless Dante pulls off the effect of either Quicksilver or the Time Bangle.

Anyways Kratos FTW easily.

Or Dante with the Time Stop.

[Dr.Jre32]

man, kratos will kill all well he is the god of war duh

[Dr.Douchebag]

is this kratos after the GoW game or is it before he faces ares?

[Gaelek_13]

I've completed the God of War game and Kratos with maxed out Gifts of the Gods, maxed out Blades of Chaos, maxed out Blade of Artemis, Rage of the Gods and maxed out health and energy is a scary opponent.

Hell, if he uses Rage of the Gods he can't be hurt and would kill Dante in that time I reckon. Could be wrong, but hey....

[Hangatýr]

God Of War can run out, and Dante is not a slowpoke that will allow someone to hit him that easily.

It all depends on what Dante gets. If it's all out for both, then Super Dante + Quicksilver + Sparda Form gets my vote. Flight, invulnerability, being able to stop time and so forth are enough for Kratos, although he'd put up one helluva fight, as Dante is not the type to go all-out at the start of battle.

[superbatman86]

Dante is simply too fast for Kratos to keep up with.Kratos for all his skill and strength was never portrayed as beign very quik while Dante dodges gunfire.

[Dr.Jre32]

kratos has the power of theGODS that can help him like zeus lightning bolt and thos blades canstretch out and dante is fast so then kratos takes a hit and then when dante thinks he won the gods wont let him die so comes back to life and rips apart dante like nothing

[Comic Book Guy]

Dante can take an absurd amount of punishment.

Curious, how does Kratos counter a Time Stop?

[Giovanni Rild]

Can Dante kill a WarGod?

[Comic Book Guy]

Dante killed
-Mundus, Devil Prince of the Underworld
-Argosax the Chaos, the evil god that Arisu wished to replace
-Despair Embodied, the sex-changing embodiment of despair

[Hangatýr]

Can Dante kill a WarGod?
He was able to do that because of Pandora's Box, something specifically stated that it would give the power to kill a God.

[The Nameless Pharaoh]

He was able to do that because of Pandora's Box, something specifically stated that it would give the power to kill a God.
True, also if Dante uses quick silver then Kratos is dead.

But i doubt he will use it right away. Dante is too cocky. He'll start making fun of Kratos and then Kratos will take the chance to turn him to stone to shut him up.

[Giovanni Rild]

But Kratos is a WarGod now. or you're using the Kratos right before the said event?

[Hangatýr]

You can't use Kratos as the God of War as the only time you saw him as such was at the end. Until GoW II comes out, you'll have to use Kratos highest actual showing, rather than using speculation.

[Comic Book Guy]

True, also if Dante uses quick silver then Kratos is dead.

Understandable. Though, his personality does a major change in DMC2 though. And that really helped ruined the game for me.

But Kratos is a WarGod now. or you're using the Kratos right before the said event?

Thread creator didn't say.

[Dr.Douchebag]

dante has 3 games so we've seen many powerups and the extent of his powers kratos on the other hand has only had 1 game where he was a human then became a god , so im saying wait for god of war 2 so that we can see his god of war powers who knows, maybe it includes time stopping as well :wink

[Comic Book Guy]

Did any god, character, or item in the game stopped time?

[Giovanni Rild]

You can't use Kratos as the God of War as the only time you saw him as such was at the end. Until GoW II comes out, you'll have to use Kratos highest actual showing, rather than using speculation.

I played and beat the game.

Wouldn't Kratos becoming a god be his highest showing?

[The Nameless Pharaoh]

Did any god, character, or item in the game stopped time?
Click on the spoiler on my previous post. You'll know why Dante won't use Quicksilver.

[Dr.Douchebag]

im just saying GoW 2 will be interesting in that we can see kratos with his new
powers and given the insane powerup (human to a god) its very likely we see a godlike ability like stopping time

[Comic Book Guy]

Click on the spoiler on my previous post. You'll know why Dante won't use Quicksilver.

Yep.

I played and beat the game.

Wouldn't Kratos becoming a god be his highest showing?

Yes, but we canonly speculate on what powers he has now. One can assume he may have Ares' abilities, but it's still not concrete. Until GOW2 comes out, we have to consider his highest form that already displayed his abilities in-game.

im just saying GoW 2 will be interesting in that we can see kratos with his new powers and given the insane powerup (human to a god) its very likely we see a godlike ability like stopping time

Understandable, but I don't remember time stopping in the game.

[Dr.Douchebag]

Understandable, but I don't remember time stopping in the game.

nah i just speculated time stopping and/or other uber abilities in GoW 2 never said it actually happened in part 1:amuse

[Adonis]

From what I've seen, Dante is most likely faster than Kratos. If Kratos tried to fight sword-to-sword, he'd probably lose, this is ignoring quicksilver and the bangle of time. Let's not forget that Dante has instant regeneration. The only way to kill Dante, atleast in DMC3, is to beat Dante into exhaustion. Once exhausted, Dante can no longer heal and can be killed. Of course, it most likely wouldn't reach this point, due to Dante's speed, so in sword-to-sword combat, Kratos would lose. Also, Let's not forget that Krato's has human limitations, no healing ability, and can be killed if wounded mortally enough (for example, a sword through his heart). People say that Kratos is strong, but so is Dante.

If each character is allowed to go full out, I'd still say Dante. Here's why:

People cite Krato's magic but Dante could counter each one.

Poseidon's Storm (name?): This could be avoided by long-range combat. Assuming that Dante is clueless to this attack, Dante could either A) see the attack getting started and move, or B) get hit but shake it off. I'm assuming that Dante, in terms of health would rank up there with the bosses at the very least. Even if he got nailed full on, he'd be able to get back up, without being tragically injured, and make a note to dodge it next time.

Medusa's Gaze: On one of the levels in DMC 3, Dante has to answer the Sphinx's riddle to proceed. Since the level gets completed, its right to assume he knew it. This means that Dante is atleast decently versed in Greek mythology and would recognize a gorgon head. I'm probably grasping at straws since it's possible that Dante guessed correctly, without knowledge of the Sphinx; got lucky by walking through the doors in the right sequence randomly; or just succeeded through plain ol' trial and error. Regardless, in GOW, the enemy has to stare at the head for a few seconds before petrifying. Unless Kratos uses Gordon Flash. In that case, it's been shown that people can shake themselves free of petrification. Kratos does it. Lastly, almost everybody has been exposed to the myth of Medusa, at one point or another in their life, and would know to look away from a head with snake hair, with or without knowledge of Greek mythology.

Zeus's fury: The lightning bolts simply aren't that fast. They're nowhere near actual lightning speed. Ingame, they don't move much faster than a spear would. Their speed is controlled by Krato's arm speed. Since Kratos himself isn't that fast, I'm sure his arm speed is lacking, as well. Dante could easily dodge these. Also, if a basic enemy can survive being hit by one, so can Dante.

Hades Army: This would be Dante's biggest problem. But, between his natural speed and time-stopping abilities, he'd be able to dodge, or freeze, these spirits.

Rage of the Gods: Doesn't increase Krato's speed to the point of competing with Dante.

People also cite Krato's killing a God. He only did this with Pandora's Box, an artifact made for that purpose. If Dante had Pandora's Box, not only would he have defeated Ares, he'd have probably done it faster.

[Hangatýr]

DarkAdonis, your Medusa's Gaze paragraph is nothing but speculation. One could've made it through the maze with trial and error, and several people know that riddle with out knowing anything about Greek mythology, as the riddle is EGYPTIAN.

And even so, at higher levels the Gaze has an insta-freeze move.

[Adonis]

I stated that possibility. Dante could still unpetrify himself. If Kratos, who has human limitations, can shake himself free, why can't Dante? Hell, if it takes Kratos 5 seconds to unpetrify himself, it'd probably take Dante 1, if that. Also, most people would recognize Medusa's head even unversed in Greek mythology. How many people do you know that don't know Medusa? Does that mean everyone goes around reading Greek mythology? No. It's just one of those things people inevitably pick up.

[Hangatýr]

And you honestly think that, when Kratos takes out the head, Dante will immediatly go "Oh, that's Medusa's Head! I should find some shiny shield or else I'd have to shake myself free!"? If anything, Dante will let himself get frozen, just to see what Kratos can do.

[Nexas]

I'd like to remind everyone that is saying that Kratos is a god one thing. In GOW2 he looses his title as the GOW and becomes a mortal again so that argument can't be used.
Ok Im off to work now.

[Adonis]

It's...it's possible!

In reality, the ONLY way Krato's could win is with Medusa's gaze. Kind of cheap, if you ask me.

[Hangatýr]

Max-level Army of Hades is better than Medusa's Gaze, IMO. And during Rage of the Gods he can just spam all the magic he has, including firing lightning bolts at an impressive rate.

But even so, I still feel Dante wins this, if he plays it right.

[ydraliskos]

You know, there are times when objective analysis just doesn't cut it.

In one side, you have Kratos. He doesn't take shit from ANYONE, he has a goatee, tatoos all over, and looks like he'd kill you and rape your sister for looking him the wrong way. He also uses 2 knifes on chains bound to his arms.

In the other side you have the product of japanese anime-culture, super-bishie fancypants Dante, white hair, feminine characteristics, horrible one-liners and wears leather.

Yeah I think it's pretty obvious who'd win, and if the facts don't match, change the facts XD

[Hangatýr]

How is Dante feminine? XD

[Giorno Giovanna]

Oh hell no. Did you call Dante a bishie?

[Comic Book Guy]

Dante? Feminine? In the same sentence?

"Jackpot."

Yeah. Having a goatee=invincibilty. In that case, my uncle Jeffrey could win this fight.

A character's attitude and being a badass has no bearing on their fighting ability. Kratos has been shown to have human limitations. Dante, on the other hand, is faster, has insta-regeneration, demon strength, time control, etc. Kratos, ignoring the goatie, has chain blades seared to his arms, which would be too slow to hit Dante; and magic, which I mentioned in my first post. Also, Dante's not that feminine. Have you seen the swidth of his shoulders? Like a fucking firetruck...

[Superrazien]

Dante from Devil may Cry 3 VS Kratos from God of war.

I think this would be a sick fight. I guess for the winner though I would pick Kratos because he did kill a god after all, but it would not doubt be a tough fight.

[Adonis]

Dante, even despite being a dork and a jackass, would win.

My reasons:
-Dante's too fast. Krato's hasn't shown to be able to move much faster than a human. Dante, however, can move quickly enough to "teleport" short distances and make rain look like it's standing still.
-Quicksilver: Dante can slow time down to a snail's pace.
-Dante's strong, though he doesn't get much opportunity to show it. He can use a motorcycle like nunchucks...That can't be too easy.
-Dante's demon form only enhances the above abilities.

I had more reasons but I can't think of them right now. I'll look in another thread where I posted the rest.

Exception: Kratos can win with Medusa's gaze. I believe that Dante's dumb enough to look and be turned to stone. Though, as common as Medusa is in pop culture, it's possible that Dante would recognize it and react accordingly.

[Keollyn]

I've always thought Kratos would win a fight between these two. I'm holding off on casting a firm vote until GoW2 comes out. The one where Kratos is recognized as a demi-god.

[Gray Wolf]

Dante would win because he has guns. If Kratos has the pandora's box then he could just step on Dante. Strength wise I would give to Kratos, he pulled the Hydra's head down on a spike.

[Birkin]

Dante wins, first off;

1. He has quicksilver that slows time down to... yes really slow
2. He has guns
3. He's got insane durability
4. His Devil Trigger state boosts every attack/speedmove etc
5. The way he used the motorcycle to get up the tower was amazing, I never imagined that.
6. Dante is pure badass :p And he isn't dumb when it matters.

[seifer26]

Dante, he's quick and has sweet sword skills.

[Comic Book Guy]

Threads merged.

[King Bookah]

Dante FTW.

I agree with someone said earlier, Kratos is indeed the most powerful (physical strength wise). Play the GOW2 demo and see what I'm talking about.

[Rascaduanok]

Nice topic. Threads comparing these two, or Ryu Hayabusa from Ninja Gaiden vs Dante from DMC3, crop up all the time. I have to point out that we might bring inconsistencies into this by trying to use cutscene– or FMV–based abilities. Kratos in GoW has the ability to explode heads in cutscenes but not during gameplay. Dante can survive getting shot in his face and getting stabbed through the torso and limbs by multiple blades, yet will promptly die if you try any of this during gameplay.

As for Kratos’s attacks, Dante can Just Parry any attack without taking damage with the Royalguard style. And as for Medusa’s Gaze, people have already mentioned Quicksilver. One thing a lot of casual gamers may not realise about the QS style: it has a property master player pokey86 refers to as ‘Quick Cancel’. During activation of the Time Lag power, you have something like ½–a–second+ of complete invulnerability. Any attacks, including explosions, completely whiff and go straight through Dante. And he’d need only this period of protection against Medusa to launch and juggle Kratos to death.

It would make for a fantastic and fascinating battle (both would act as a Boss to the other), but I give my vote to DMC3 here.

[Akatora]

DMC3 is harder then God of War, but god of war have the difrent ways of killing, like usig the suroundings better.


DMC1 at Hard or harder then that owns DMC3 in toughness by alot.

I gave up once i had to fight like 4 shadow panthers a time in nearly every area i were in >_<



DMC2... To easy, glad i only lend it, corse the game timer only said 4½ hours once i completed the final stage...

[Erru-Sama]

Dante owns this.
For all reasons are listed above.

[Code]

While I think that Kratos is an infinitely better character than Dante, the story and presentation of God of War is also well above that of Devil May Cry 3. But I'd stilll say Devil May Cry 3 is the better game, it's much more of a challenge, battle system a lot more satisfying, and a much greater replay value.
