We will not have many changes in the item addition or removal of skills, but one thing that has always caught my eye on Dante's profile is that his skills are not separated by version, unlike characters like Kratos, from God of war
So I decided to try this little review, I think it will be easier to understand each version of the character with the skills properly separated, and being cumulative to Dante's arsenal
So let's begin with...
- DMC3 Dante
Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Weapon Mastery, Skilled actor, musician, and athlete, Enhanced Senses (Enhanced Sixth), Energy Manipulation, Elemental Manipulation (Fire & Wind with Agni & Rudra, Ice with Cerberus, Electricity with Nevan), Darkness Manipulation (Via Manga's Majin Form), Light Manipulation with Beowulf, Time Slow (With Quicksilver), Regenerationn (At least Low-Mid, though it works almost instantaneously), Self-Duplication with Doppelganger style, Can survive without oxygen and in a vacuum, Superhuman Willpower, Soul Absorption (Can absorb the powers of other demons and fashion them into relics), Statistics Amplification with Devil Trigger and Majin Form, Transformation in the form of Devil Trigger and Majin Form, Flight via Nevan's Devil Trigger, Self-Healing via the Royalguard Style and Devil Trigger, Bat Manipulation via Nevan, Can harm Intangible beings, Can transmute the souls of dead demons into weapons, Attack Reflection with Royal Guard, Resistance to Mind Manipulation, Soul Manipulation, Ice Manipulation, Blood Manipulation, Poison, Illusions, Spatial Manipulation via Rebellion.
- DMC 1 Dante
All previous abilities, Telekinesis, Levitation, Eletricity Manipulation and Minor Precognition via Alastor Blade, Hellfire Manipulation with Ifrit (Its hellfire is hotter than a volcano), Time Stop with Bangle of Time, Resistance to Fear Manipulation (via his Fight against Nightmare), Hellfire (resisted the first encounter with Ifrit) and Time Stop (Scalling from his father powers, which he have in Sparda DT)
- Anime Dante
All Previous abilities, Holy Manipulation with Rebellion (Removed a demon from Elena Houston, only by throwing Rebellion at her), Resistance to Holy Manipulation (resisted Allan Lowell's spell that react to Demonic Power and then turn them to ashes)
- DMC4 Dante
All previous abilities, Teleportation (With Trickster), Explosion Manipulation with Lucifer (Dante can control the explosions whenever he wants.), Minor Transmutation with Gilgamesh ( Gilgamesh absorbs organic material and transforms it to steel),Transformation in the form of Dreadnaught via royalguard Style, Spatial Manipulation via Yamato (The sword is said to be able to cut through anything, even the very fabric of space itself), Summoning with Lucifer (Can summon Swords)
- DMC2 Dante
All Previous abilities, Elemental Manipulation (Ice with Frost Heart, Electricity with Electro Heart), Fire Manipulation with Flame Heart (it also heals Dante from fire damage), Time slow (via Chrono Heart), Statistics Amplification with The Quick Heart and Offence Heart (They amplify his speed and strength tenfold), Enhanced Flight via The Aerial Heart, Enhanced Self-Healing (with The Healing Heart)
So, that's it, just a minor revision, I probably made some mistakes, maybe in the resistances, so I'm asking for your help

Now, for some content revision, one in specific:
In Dante's profile:
"Can induce mental incapacitation via dark voids"
...well
Almost nobody says something about this skill, and it's linked to Mind Manipulation is his profile, but, in DMC wiki, we can have another interpretation for this:
"Apart from gameplay, in the manga, Dante has been shown to revert any being to its original state (1). This is seen when Dante used his own darkness to horrify Alice in a mental trap (2), which may prove that Dante is much more demonic and less human in his Majin form."
Link: http://devilmaycry.wikia.com/wiki/Majin_Form
1 - Dante in Majin Form can revert beings to the original state, this, in possesed humans, it's Holy Manipulation, it's kinda a exorcism
2 - Dante's appareance in Majin can induce Fear even into Demons:

Not a Mind Manip, but a very strong Fear Inducement
So, Holy Manipulation for his Majin Form, available even for DMC3 Dante
-- Sound Feats
In the anime, Dante could resist Demon Elena Houston Sound based attacks

In DMC3, Nevan is described as a Devil Arm that attack with Sound Blasts:
--> DMC wiki about Nevan:
"Every end chord that Dante plays generates a sound blast, which distorts the space around him, and will inflict damage on opponents within range. For most attacks, like "Nevan Combo I & II" and "Reverb Shock," the sound blast is extremely focused and secondarily releases the bats to attack the opponent. Other attacks like "Nevan Combo III," "Jam Session," and "Crazy Roll," will devastate opponents all around Dante. Some attacks, such as "Bat Riff", do not have en end chord. "
So, Nevan can even distort space with this Sound Blasts, and Dante seems fine using it
So, Sound Manipulation via Nevan and Resistance to Sound Manipulation for his DMC3 key. It is vague if Dante can withstand attacks based on sound waves still in DMC3, but at least in the Anime he has made that kind of feat
So Sound resistance for his Anime Key at least
So I decided to try this little review, I think it will be easier to understand each version of the character with the skills properly separated, and being cumulative to Dante's arsenal
