Topic	KP'S Top 40 Characters - Featuring Dante From The Devil May Cry Series
KamikazePotato 02/07/18 6:38:54 PM #167:	14. Dante (Devil May Cry series) https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/devilmaycry/images/6/63/Dante_4.png/revision/latest?cb=20150419230108 "Let's get this party started!" Dante is fun incarnate. He gets stabbed through chest by 10 scythes at the same time and is more concerned with turning on his jukebox and grabbing a slice of pizza. He runs down the side of a 50-story tower, jumps into the mouth of a giant flying whale for no reason, then beats the hell out of it from the inside and crashes it back into the same tower. He surfs on rocket missiles. He gets shot several times in the head and reacts with minor annoyance. He toys with nearly every enemy he counters, partially to put them off their game but mostly because he likes bugging the crap out of them. There there's stuff like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfdzyIrd89U Seriously, watch that. It might be the best cutscene ever. Dante is a huge goofball always trying to look cool and it's so much fun to watch. I think my favorite rendition of him is in Devil May Cry 3, where half of his moments of trying to be a badass are undercut by him messing up a little and looking like a complete dork as a result. It extends beyond cutscenes, too. Devil May Cry 3/4 have some incredible, deep, and satisfying combat systems, but the games wouldn't be nearly as fun as they are without Dante pulling it all together. When fighting enemies he showboats in tons of his moves and always sounds like he's having the time of his life. The game's Style System incentivizes you to style all over fools by mixing up your attacks instead of spamming the same moves over again and it feels perfectly tied in to the game's atmosphere. Hell, one of the best ways to build up Style is to stop fighting and taunt, leaving yourself completely open while doing so. Dante takes showboating to a new level. While it's not the focus of his character, I also appreciate the serious part of Dante that appear every so often him. The few moments where he acts in a more subdued way are made pretty memorable by how over-the-top he acts 90% of the time. In partcular, his relationship/rivalry with Vergil in Devil May Cry 3 is far better written than it has any right to be and sets the video game standard for two characters acting as perfect foils to each other. Man, writing all this out makes me want to play Devil May Cry 3 again. Dante's the best. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. <cite>KamikazePotato posted [p:895660381] in KP'S Top 4...
