difference between dante and dante.

[Shin Dan]

The new Dante is comparable to a lone wolf.
he keeps to himself, is typically anti-social by nature, won't hesitate to try to take the upper hand in a fight by charging straight in without a second's thought, going so far as to attack anything that dares to attack him, no matter how big. will work under others if the reason is good enough, eventually trusting them until they give him a good enough reason to kick their ass, in which case he goes right back to being a loner. overly serious, cracks jokes only to lighten his own mood. But when push comes to shove, he does not hesitate to defend his ideals. Sarcastic as opposed to funny, preferring to sting his enemies with his words rather than fluster them with humor the way old dante would.
The old dante was a cat.
Vastly superior in every concievable way to his opponents, easygoing, independent but generally casual. He was better than everyone else, and he knew it. Prefers expressing himself to picking fights although he often does both, letting them attack first most of the time.expresses himself even when against opponents, really loves toying with his enemies in combat.
Will take ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ from others, but only because he knows he can clean up their mess right afterwards. A bit irresponsible, preferring to enjoy himself first, do important stuff second, (mostly drinking and heavy pizza consumption)loves attention, (always made love to the camera.) Probably crazy for catnip. (this is made up)

True, Don't forget his new haircut.
I have a feeling that if they make another DMC, they will incorporate Dante's old look (long white hair) since throughout the game his hair changes white.

They are surely gonna release tons of costumes DLC that gonna give differents haircuts.

You can have his white hairs in the game anyway, near the beginning.

I think the original post was more aimed at personality as opposed to looks, at least that is the impression I got when reading it. <.<

I’m getting real tired of the hair thing. There were many reasons fans hated the new Dante, its just that capcom & video game journalists, as a whole, boiled all those complaints down to the characters hair. I’m fine with his hair, it’s just the guy underneath of it.

Well, the new dante's looks kinda reflect just how different he is from the (Cat) dante.
this is just a loose comparison, so don't give it too much credit.
But the cat-eared dante fan art we're about to see on the internet after this post......

I noticed that. All of a sudden Dante had a white patch that I could swear on my life wasn't there before.
I honestly do hope he starts to at least resemble the old Dante considerably more than he does now. I don't mind the new look at all, and in fact I actually like the new interpretation of him character-wise, but he is missing the easy-going nature of the original Dante in fights that are clearly below him. When ♥♥♥♥ hits the fan, sure, be serious, but I would hope that above all in a possible sequel (which isn't likely) they cut down on the f-bomb, though. Or at least switch it up now and then. Some of the game's best jokes were ruined by it or haven't ended up as funny as they would have, otherwise.

Pretty much the only thing truly bad about the new Dante is that he's brimming with total potential to be a better character than the first, but he didn't quite get there.

On another side note, Dmc dante's white haired red coat look has slightly spikier hair.
Compared to old dante's hair, which is smoother, it kinda fits the identity of this new dante as being rougher and more brutal, and seperates the two in a very subtle visual fashion.
