Oh, so the argument is that Dante never used against someone in battle in a cutscene ? *sigh*
Man, we have the cutscene showing him using, and we have the power in gameplay, what is the point ? A hack and slash game is going to make the battles, which are basically the core of this type of game, outside the gameplay ? Are you kidding ? Using his fights from the anime as a reference just a big lie since Dante doesn't fight with anyone in his level and when he fights, the strategy was a one shot via DT, not a long fight with lots of other abilities, we are talking about a fight In the middle of the city with thousands of people around against a powerful demon, Dante simply went for the kill to avoid more deaths that already happened by that point in the episode. And I'm really disappointed that Supporters of the verse fell for this, what a let down
No, we don't have a specific cutscene of Dante using Doppelganger (or Quicksilver) against someone, but we have cutscenes showing us how the Style works, we have these powers to use in combat and we fight the Bosses who had the power before us, with the Lore showing and explaining those powers and that Dante inherited them from those demons. The nature of Hack and Slash game makes we decide what is in character for Dante, we make his fights, and we never saw a real fight in any DMC outside the gameplay, only some casual fights (like Dante vs Nero), brief moments or the end of them with a final clash, but never the actual full fight in details, this happened against Mundus in DMC1, it happened against Void Mundus (in the 2nd Novel), happened against Argosax (In DMC2, and there is a moment in game, before this fight, that it literally tells you that you need the speed of the Quick Heart to finish the mission), it happened against Vergil in 3 and 5. The exception is the Anime, but since Dante is fighting fodders for the entire show (just like DMC4), using this as argument to say that he just uses a big sword is wrong by default, or Issei fights Tier 9 fodders using his best and most broken abilities ? I don't think so, and would be really unfair saying that he doesn't use his abilities based on this, right ? Huhuhuhu
And no, I'm not voting for Dante here
