There's also a side Trish vs. Jeanne video tie in here.

 

[Dunkley]

Can't say much on the matchup itself as much that I always enjoy watching fights featuring characters from the action hack-and-slash genre.

Their movesets always lead to exciting battles. Raiden vs. Wolverine was no short of that either.

 

[ar4757]

Well Dante was featured in SMT so him killing Megaten demons proves he's a winner

 

[Dereck]

Who is responsible for the CG work/animation on this?

EDIT: Torrian Crawford it looks like.

I'm spoiled, that was just way too good, who cares about who wins when the fights are so good?

 

[Sheriff_Battlesnake]

I love Death Battle. It's impossible to compare anything 1:1 but damn it they try!

It's wild that this is now a Roosterteeth production.

 

[Arttemis]

Wow, I thought I'd enjoy watching that... but how can anyone listen to those voices and that script?

 

[FATALITY]

snake vs sam fisher still better

 

[Seyavesh]

oh good it's not just me

i don't really know what i expected but was pretty surprised in a positive fashion besides those things

...luckily there's a mute and devils never cry is great

I'll have to watch later, but

I figured Witch Time would push Bayo over, but I guess Dante does have a style that also stops time.

Yeah, composite Dante crushes the whole bayoverse at once.

 

[Trojan X]

I loved every moment of it. I always love playing both Devil May Cry and Bayonetta so that video suits me perfectly in every way.

 

[Razzorn34]

Someone really needs to make this crossover happen.

I watched it muted (due to being at work).

would cancel out

Dante's healing factor is a huge perk in his favor

The only VA in this I thought was "bad" was Dante.

We gotta pull through for our boy Kamiya.

Quicksilver finally has a use

Dante has

QuickSilver which is essentially like WitchTime

and that was totally BOSS! loved the fight, though, it wouldve been awesome if they put Vergil in there instead of

Trish

But wow that voice work, Dante sounds like someone that belongs in Final Fantasy X.

 

[Sephzilla]

We gotta pull through for our boy Kamiya.

I'd much prefer Itsuno's DMC3/4 team handle this over Platinum, to be honest. I think Itsuno's team has a better handle on solid gameplay, plus Kamiya would jam stupid mini game levels into it.

Itsuno isn't exempt from stupid mini game levels and pointless padding (DMC3's boss rush, mirror reflect and DMC4's dice game)

 

[Sephzilla]

None of those three things you mentioned are even remotely as bad as the mini game levels in either Bayonetta, or the stupid first stage of the Mundus fight in DMC1. I actually don't mind DMC3's boss rush because by that point I'm so much more powerful that the bosses are pushovers and I'm still playing the normal game during that segment and not some knockoff Star Fox level.

 

[toastyToast]

Expected.

Spoiler

No way to kill Dante really. That and he's a demon hunter so Bayo's summons would be classed as jobbers by definition. No real way to argue that the demons in the Bayo universe are more powerful than those in the DMC one

Madame Butterfly went out like a sucker. Still my MVP

"How come I never meet any nice girls?"

The wisecracking is on point

 

[Daft Punk]

That was actually pretty well done even if the voices were a little bad.

 

[silva1991]

Great video!!

half if not most of Bayo's power are demonic

Dante is demon slayer

it's an easy win.

 

[Dahbomb]

Expected result, we discussed this in the DMC thread where we also have some people who have played Bayonetta.

Spoiler

Dante is really close to becoming the Superman of the hack n slash of the genre.

Great video all around.

 

[Trojan X]

Watched the video again. I loved the use of Max Anarchy/Anarchy Reigns music in the bout. Perfect fit! The editor of the video knows what's up.

Well, you'll get no arguments from me. I highlight Kamiya since we know he's pursuing the idea because of that Project X Zone thing. I don't think it'll be that bad if Kamiya took the helm though, provided they tackle the project with the Bayonetta 1 mindset and have a consultant to tell Kamiya to not tie mini games to amazing bosses or rank stages.

Though I really wonder how a Itsuno-Kamiya Joint could play out.

 

[Lain]

This one was both cool and fun on the actual battle.

A Kamiya/Itsuno joint project would basically be nirvana. Have Platinum handle all of the Bayonetta gameplay, have Itsuno's team handle all of the Dante gameplay. Both sides collaborate on the story. Personally I'm a little biased in favor of Itsuno's team when it comes to writing because I think their sense of humor is a little better.

Also (sadly) I think a Bayonetta/Devil May Cry crossover is the only way the Bayonetta franchise stays alive after Bayonetta 2's sales.

 

[Ryng_tolu]

Bayo is better

 

[marmoka]

They really worked on the models and animations. Hilarious video.

 

[GuardianE]

Nice. I was looking forward to this one.

Those voices... but still, very fun.

DMC x Bayo by Itsuno
Bayo x DMC by Kamiya

Collaborative projects please.

 

[toastyToast]

That's a simplistic way of looking at it but it couldn't be avoided as being the resolution. Bayo's angel slaying feats don't really translate to the DMC universe. I mean she kills some of the most powerful demons too. If we're going off of DBZ power levels I don't think he's any stronger than she is but Dante is on that Perfect Cell shit. Whole crew has to sacrifice themselves and you have to discombobulate down to a molecular level to make sure he's dead.

Dante had no business in DMC4 but he came through, fucked around and beat the game. Dude is broken.

 

[GwyndolinCinder]

Never watched one of these before, that was awesome.

 

[Ray Down]

Yeah, composite Dante crushes the whole bayoverse at once.

He crushes DBZ too.

Multiversal Pizza for the win.

 

[Dahbomb]

I mean I kinda figured the result based on a bunch of things but one of their main evidence was that

Spoiler

Dante/Vergil fought so fast that they obliterated 100K rain drops in their vicinity. Not really sure what that has to do with anything, I am sure in a similar fight between Jeanne and Bayonetta it would result in the same thing.

Dante wins out because he just has superior regeneration capabilities and stamina plus a lot of Bayonetta's toolset is demon based which Dante excels at destroying. Bayonetta had agility on her side but once Witch Time was negated by Quicksilver as many imagined it would happen based on the mechanics of the Geryon fight in DMC3.... there wasn't much Bayonetta could do in the fight.

Since they brought up Trish vs Jeanne.... I think Jeanne would win that one most probably even with research done. Trish isn't all that strong and Jeanne is like the Vergil to Bayonetta. Trish has never really shown to have insane regeneration, speed or strength... just the standard super human stuff plus electricity and flying.

 

[Hentailover]

One thing I don't get is him going all bothered over her body type. I never found Bayo sexy. She loks like a Human - Giraffe hybrid.

 

[bobbychalkers]

I don't know too much about Dante and I love Bayo but I totally get their reasoning.

 

[MegaPanda]

The OG stays winning

 

[Vex_]

"How come I never meet any nice girls?"

ikr

 

[Lux R7]

We need a Dante vs D (manga version).

Also, dat Anarchy Reigns track.

[TWILT]

Animation was so so good. Really fun watch.

 

[Playsage]

That Trish vs. Jeanne video is pretty much unwatchable after all that glorious animation work in the main battle lol

It's funny that they used a feat from Dante at his weakest to seal their argument.

Spoiler

They said "cutting" all the rain drops, but couldn't the "vacuum space" be created by the sheer force of their movements and the swords' clashes? Still, that healing factor is a bitch

I always saw that as a cool moment, but not as a real "impressive" feat

 

[Mr. Smiley]

Also (sadly) I think a Bayonetta/Devil May Cry crossover is the only way the Bayonetta franchise stays alive after Bayonetta 2's sales.

I guess that depends on Nintendo? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought Bayo2 performed "within expectations." I mean this is Nintendo but I'm hopeful for Bayo 3 if that was true.

No other publishers ain't gonna bite though. :/

Nice. I was looking forward to this one.

Those voices... but still, very fun.

DMC x Bayo by Itsuno

Now this is damn interesting. A chance to play a Platinum Dante AND an Itsuno Bayonetta is titilating.

Since they brought up Trish vs Jeanne.... I think Jeanne would win that one most probably even with research done. Trish isn't all that strong and Jeanne is like the Vergil to Bayonetta. Trish has never really shown to have insane regeneration, speed or strength... just the standard super human stuff plus electricity and flying.

Yeah, I kinda wish they threw out canonocity for a more worthwhile Vergil vs. Jeanne side fight. Or maybe save it for another video.

 

[cyress8]

He crushes DBZ too.

Multiversal Pizza for the win.

Ha, this gif never gets old.

Whoever, is doing the animations is great. Was not expecting that.

 

[GuardianE]

Or how about:
DMC x Bayo by Itsuno x Kamiya

That'd be cool, too, but I think I'd like to see each director's take on the other universe.

It's a pipedream, but I would love to have a collaborative effort between Platinum and Capcom that would result in two co-developed titles "DMC x Bayonetta" and "Bayonetta x DMC."

DMC x Bayonetta would be developed by Itsuno's team at Capcom.
Bayonetta x DMC would be developed by a team at Platinum.

Both games together would cover two sides of one story arc, and there would be intersecting paths at different sections of each game. There would be boss fights against the respective player character in the other game, but the gameplay would be tuned and balanced by the particular development studio so they would feel like entirely different games.

You could maybe even integrate online co-operative or versus play (or turn it off) during these cross segments with the other game. Think almost two campaigns of RE6 as separate games, but not sloppy and with more well implemented crossover.

 

[WarRock]

Hmmm, that Anarchy Reigns track. Great stuff.

 

[Nottle]

I thought Kamiya confirmed Bayo was stronger.

In my mind Bayo is like a DBZ character, by the end of her game you are destroying gods and planets. Dante is like a Vash the Stampede or Dragon Ball character. Tough and skilled, but still sort of limited in a lot of ways.
