Here we have another tier separator. When I was adding characters to the ranking I often asked myself if they were better or worse than Dante. Dante, epitome of regular, conventionally attractive man; Dante, the prettiest macho man in gaming; Dante, who says volumes with one facial expression. More than anyone else so far, Dantes personality is on full display. Hes a strong delineator for the rest of the ranking.

I dont love his design. The clothes are whatever. The weaponry two guns, one pointed at another person, and a sword strapped to his back says hes battle ready. Thats fine. Thats not the big selling point. Dantes big selling point is his face.

That little smirk.

That smirk says the following things:

- I know youre no threat to me, but lets have fun anyway.
- I know Im more attractive than you, but Ill still fuck you.
- I know Im more memorable and cleverer than you, but Ill let you think youll get in a one-liner or two.
- I am in control. Period.

All of that from one little smirk.

I would not be friends with this man, but I would be transfixed by his face, and not because of his conventional attractiveness. He has the stare of a lion who can have any meal in the jungle that he wants, and hes chosen you, and you can try to run, but if you get away, its because he allowed you to get away. And he can come back and eat you later any time he wants. He is a predator. That much is entirely conveyed by that little smirk. Very effective.
