Rank them in power

Dante > Bayonetta > Kratos > Ryu = Raiden > VJ

Bayo is a woman.

Finally a good answer, Asura is the strongest character.

Dante wins no doubt.

Unironically this

Thats cheating

DMC1 dante at full power is equally impressive, and looking at some DMC5 leaks (mostly vergil stuff, who should be on dante's level), he probably surpasses her

I'd say:
Bayonetta > Kratos > Dante > Ryu > Joe > Raiden

Dante is ridiculously broken. He has an extraordinary pain tolerance, can move so fast it's functionally teleportation (no bats or anything), can stop time at will, run up/down vertical surfaces, shrug off being impaled on multiple occasions, and negate absolutely any attack and counterattack with superior force.

All this is as of 3 (the earliest in the timeline) and without Devil Trigger or Sparda. He gets much stronger later on.

Dante is essentially immortal, not to mention Majin Dante.

>Gameplay shit counts as feats
Kratos must be a good then due to all his costumes

Him and Vergil combined are literally a nerfed Johnny.

It's kind of a shitshow to try and compare Dante/Bayo/Kratos. They're all ridiculously powerful and almost unkillable. It's like trying to ask which nearly invincible version of Superman would win.

Because Dante is like inmortal? See what happened if you stab Bayonneta kek

Kratos >>> Dante = Bayo >>>>> Everyone else.

The only thing in there that's gameplay-only is Royalguard, DMC3 literally starts with him getting like four scythes jammed into him at once and just completely ignoring it. In his final form in 1 he's capable of going toe to toe against Mundus and winning handily, and Mundus is at least on the power level of Aesir.

He's implied to be immortal, can stop time like Bayonetta without a shitty gimmick that he would never fall for attached to it, and has far superior counter measures/defense.

Bayonetta probably hits harder if we're generous and don't consider Dante's Royal Release but a battle of attrition he already wins.

All of the things he mentioned were featured both in gameplay and cutscenes.

Try again GoWbabby.

Mundus is stronger than anyone in GoW easily considering he's able to at-will create universes.

While we're at it, what do y'all think of VS Battles Wiki?

no one in this thread can beat him

All things considered, I'd call it a tie. It boils down to how Goku's Ultra Instinct behaves.

Dante is easily the most powerful there.

Dante is impaled in legit every fucking game and shrugs it off like its nothing. Bayo beats him in strength but Dante outclasses her in every other category and even has straight counters to all of Bayo's tools and more.

Raiden

>Raiden and Ryu somehow beat Dante and Bayo
Dante is legit fucking immortal. Bayo is a witch. Both of them have killed legit gods.

>Raiden tosses 500-ton ray into the sky easily and chops it up even though his sword isn't long enough to do that
>attacks fast enough that water drops literally freeze in the air
>all the bosses are capable of intercepting this attack in one form or another
>Raiden suplexes Excelsus, which probably weighs a few thousand tons and fights at the aforementioned speeds with its own sword
>Goes full star platinum on Armstrong, who doesn't give a fuck
I mean, I don't know how MGR compares, but for a generally realistic setting it's pretty awesome.

Y-yeah, Ryu & Raiden don't belong here, they get stomped to hell and back.

>attacks fast enough that water drops literally freeze in the air
By this, I mean he can attack several dozen before they move even 10cm.

>Bayo beats him in strength but Dante outclasses her in every other category and even has straight counters to all of Bayo's tools and more.
And let's keep in mind that Dante in DMC5 is, for the first time since DMC3, actually pushing himself and actually taking a combat seriously since a defeat, everything until now has been just child play for him with exception of Mundus.

Kratos has beaten death, fought, killed, and lifted things a million times his weight, and destroyed entire pantheons. Pretty sure he would rip Dante in half.

what a shitty topic of discussion, why do you insist in making these dumb power level comparisons?

Dante (one of the strongest characters in any medium) > Bayonetta = Kratos > VJ > Raiden = Ryu

I think Raiden can stomp Ryu, raidens blade can cut everything, ryus's weapons would be like paper to him.

Dante > Kratos > Bayonetta > Raiden > Ninja Gaiden man > VJ

>power
Kratos or Raiden, no question about it
both are capable of ridiculous physical feats, like lifting things that weight several tons

Look up the part where raiden throws metal gear ray 60m in to the air, or this

Raiden struggles against enemies with mere technology. He probably wouldn't last very long in Ryu's shoes.

Considering the pain Armstrong was able to inflict on Raiden I'm pretty sure Kratos would quite literally tear him to pieces.

Royal Guard. He can negate the most powerful beams from hell with it.

Dante can slow time with quicksilver or stop it entirely with the Bangle of Time

It's really hard to gauge just how tough raiden is, since it's really inconsistent in his own game. On one hand, the amount of force he'd have to be able to generate to throw around a metal gear is absolutely fucking astronomical. On the other hand, he gets punched and it hurts. I don't know, man.

and Vergil fight 3 implies Dante cut Vergil in half and he got up with no visible injuries

It was confirmed canon by Itsuno that he was indeed cut in half, but their regeneration is so fast that it cured himself right there

Well yeah, we're discussing A-tier characters. Not S+.

power as in physical strength, not power as in weeaboo power of friendship, magic / transformations

Dante still stronger

Facts

examples
in the fight against Mundus he got hit by multiple giant meteors in space
he stopped the punch of a gigantic statue by just blocking with his sword, all with a smirk on his face and with almost no effort
he defeated the lord of all 9 hells without being in his current max power

>power as in physical strength
>not power as in weeaboo power of friendship, magic / transformations
Kratos and Raider are in those categories.

>"REEEEE GUDS!!!! I WILL HAVE MUH REVENGE"
>"Hope, Kratos, lmao"

>"Muh power is anime tier and because of that I can punch hard but easily get punched hard"
>"Raider, use my sword that can cut through steel duo to high vibration, lmao"
>"Time to leb Jack let it rib"

Could Ryu really beat Joe? I agree with the rest.

Bayo=Dante>Raiden>Kratos
Don't know much about the other two to rank them, but Dante's versatility is enough to put him on par with Bayo's summons, Raiden is the fastest there but is basically a one trick pony with swords alone, Kratos goes on the bottom because despite being the physically strongest in terms of lifting strength he's the slowest and easiest to kill. A bullet to the head would likely do him in and I doubt he'd be able to dodge.

try to stab dante and he'll not even notice
try to stab bayo to see what happens
