It depends on your playstyle.
Fully charged Lady shotgun blasts will destroy almost anything and a fully charged bazooka will nuke several enemies. Lady's DT is a tool of ultimate destruction at full charge and carries a lot of invincible frames. Also great at bosses.
Trish is good at crowd control, pulling multiple enemies together and then using charged melee shots to pound them all. Worst out of the 3 of them with bosses but still not too bad.
Vergil is Vergil and the reason most of the people got this remake. He's extremely good. He's also the most versatile of all the new characters. He's got 3 melee choices and various summonded sword techniques. Also great with bosses, teleport is better than dodge.
I think my favorite is still Nero, but i'm really biased. His demon arm has incredible utility, it just does so much to aid him. It answers damn near everything.
I genuinely dislike Dante. I found him to be pretty useless compared to Nero. The utility from his different styles is quite limited and most of them are fairly useless, especially compared to Nero's beastly demon arm.
Vergil is quite interesting because he has the mobility of Nero with his teleport, though I think I still prefer the control of the demon arm. But his 3 weapon choices make him incredibly versatile, and once you get good with switching I can see him having some truly beastly combo ability. Though funny enough, concentration kind of discourages that, but doesn't make it useless. Oh and his ranged weapon is incredible, especially given you can spam it while attacking normally if you so desire, and with upgrades it has a ton more utility than Dante/Nero's guns.
Lady is unbelievably strong but I haven't played too much to get a good handle on how i'd judge her. For the early levels she's pretty fantastic because she nukes the trash monsters pretty easy. I agree with the dude above that she's fantastic for bosses though.
Not really much to say about Trish, I didn't like playing as her much.
Overall Lady and Trish are neat and pretty different but i'll stick to Nero and Vergil, but it's entirely up to your play style because I think they're all perfectly viable if you play them right...even Dante, which I still rank below all of them.
If you're looking for a cookie cutter character that'll be easy to play and dominate everything, you wont really find one. Again it's really down to your playstyle. I didn't feel any of the characters were extraordinarily better than any others, though again I think Nero just has beastly utility with his demon arm and he's incredibly strong if you can full rev every single time you attack.
I consider myself somewhat skilled but nowhere near being a veteran. I've played DMC 3 for a long time and beat higher difficulties and bloody palace but I'm new to DMC 4. I really like Nero and although I consider to mainly be a character for the purpose of introducing new players to the series I think he's very underrated and you can do some interesting things with him.
I really like Vergil and he is very familiar to me from DMC 3. You can also see a little inspiration from DmC Reboot's Vergil. In DMC 3 Vergil could annihilate anything just spamming lunar phase and summoned swords which was what I often resort to but the Vergil this time around feels more technical and I actually like to make use his full moveset. People have pointed out that his darkslayer trick style has been toned down but I think his new mechanics work really well in making a well balanced powerful character. I'm really looking forward to seeing what really skilled players can do with Vergil.
Dante is simply amazing in this game. I think that even with mastery of his combat in DMC 3 Vergil was a little more powerful but when I first installed the style switcher mod all that changed and I was completely overwhelmed by combat options given. In DMC 4 Dante has a dozen different solutions for every situation and his combat system has a depth that feels like it wasn't meant for humans. I finished the campaign for DMC 4 yesterday and I feel like I'm using only 10% of Dante's potential and that I still have so much to learn with him.
Lady is an extremely powerful character. I was shocked by how much damage I did to Bael with a lvl 3 charged shot of Kalina Ann. I think she can very technical but in a very different way to other characters. I love some of her mechanics like the things you can do with her grappling wire and her grenade retreats. She's fast becoming one of favourite characters.
Haven't gotten to use Trish yet unfortunately.
vergil's beowulf is stupidly strong on max concentration, reks bosses, very good kit for combos
lady needs a different approach than all the other characters, because of the lack of melee and gap closers
don't know about trish
dante is still the pinnacle of combat depth
Lady is slow but very, very powerful and is becoming my absolute favorite character to play as because so long as you're adept with dodging, she's INCREDIBLY useful (outside of the grim grips in mission 4, lol I almost raged). The pistols are definitely my fav of her weapons, along with her 'devil trigger' sort of state, where when fully charged can put a Blitz in the red instantly.
Trish is great, nice and heavy hits along with a Devil Bringer grab-like attack using Sparda gives her a lot of versatility, and Luce & Ombra (her pistols) are so pumped up just a few standard shots can drop a mephisto - that said, her moveset is limited, and the Pandora controls are AWKWARD as Hell. I ran out of time with her in BP and I loathe it. Not so many i-frames compared to the previous two, but she's definitely got the power to make up for it.
But in short, if this was DMC4: Lady Edition or just Vergil himself, I'd be content either way. Dante will always be the best, and most powerful to the adept players like myself, but I'll be damned if I haven't sunken a loooong time into Vergil already.
Vergil's best ability is his super powerful teleport. You can quickly teleport to enemies across huge distances and you can spam teleport for infinite air time. Also, using teleport will immediately cancel you out of whatever attack you happen to be using. One effective combo is spamming Luner Phase and Teleport, sequentially, over and over. It does a lot of damage very fast.
Another very good ability is JUDGEMENT CUT END. With maximum DT points, you can use it as many as three times in a row. It will clear an entire room of enemies, in any room in the game (except bosses).
Other nice things include how the basic Summoned Swords can be used in the middle of any attack without having any casting or recovery time, and how there is a variety of (useful) Summoned Sword moves. One thing that is not important, but nice to have, is the Summoned Sword Shield (Spiral Swords), because it is the most effective way of destroying miscellanious debris objects in order to get the Red Orbs inside. Just cast it once, then run around, letting the swords take care of the debris. This is for getting S ranks in Red Orb collection, without wasting lots of time.
Vergil's weakness is that his normal Summoned Sword attacks have less range than the handgun, which is a disadvantage against some bosses, mainly the "Savior" on mission 18.
I could probably mention a few more things, but these are the main bits and I think they will suffice.
Dante has the highest skillcap and payout of all the characters introduced, I am unsure how you came to that conclusion. There are some videos that show just the kinds of things Dante can do. Like Raise Thy Sword.

His high skillcap doesn't mean he isn't useful. That being said, I can't play him that well at all :C
Nero: Even though he's pretty simple to play, his skill ceilling is incredibly high. His combos are pretty easy to chain together especially with the ability to Snatch enemies with the Devil Bringer but the hardest thing about Nero is Max-acting. If you manage to master it, you're going to deal insane damage and get a ton of style points.
Dante: Incredibly complicated and requires a lot of dexterity to chain combos together. Still, with Distortion and moves like Real Impact he also manages to deal insane damage. If you haven't played him for a long time he's probably a pretty weak character though. But if you sink a lot of time into mastering the five styles and all of his weapons, he's going to be the strongest character together with Vergil.
Lady: Hilariously overpowered. Charged shotgun shots rip everything to shreds. Burst Attack deals such insane damage that it can almost one shot bosses. Her only weakness is melee but she has so many moves to get away from enemies, it's not really a problem. It's pretty easy to get high style ranks with her.
Trish: She's really good at controlling enemies. Sparda allows her to easily hit stun enemies and rip through them using Bare Knuckles. Her only two weaknesses are bossfights and enemies like Mephisto or Blitz. Her ranged weapons are pretty bad at removing Mephisto's cloak and she just doesn't seem to deal that much single target damage so bossfights take a pretty long time.
Vergil: Even though he's a pretty easy character to start with, I believe he has enough depth to match Dante. Just like Dante, he has Just Charges on his moves and he can distort them. He deals incredible damabe by combining his advanced Summoned Sword techniques and moves from his Devil Arms. His playstyle is based on keeping his concentration gauge high which enchances moves from his Devil Arms. For example, the higher your Concentration is, the longer is going to be the reach of moves from Yamato. He can also quickly restore his Devil Trigger gauge by finishing the sheathing animation which will grant him one Devil Trigger rune. The strongest thing about the character is definitely the Grim Trick. It allows you to cancel out of pretty much any move very easily. It's also very useful against enemies who back away from you or enemies who get thrown away from Vergil after finishing a combo. He's very strong against single or multiple enemies. If you use his moves intelligently, he can control groups of enemies even better than Trish and if you combine the ability to quickly regain your Devil Trigger, use your advanced Summoned Sword techniques and cancel out of moves using Grim Trick, he can deal even more damage than Lady. A lot of people might say he doesn't have as much depth as Dante because of stuff like Guard Flying or Star Raves but you have to realize, these techniques weren't discovered for Dante until some time has passed. Same thing might happen with Vergil.
Overall, I think either Vergil or Lady are the strongest character right now. Both of them have a lot of depth.
So that's where they got the name of the game...

His question also wasn't "who do you like the most", etc. It was an objective question.
The answer is Dante. Dante is the most effective character in the game. Literally just look at the top players and the scores they get. Other characters are easier to do better with for the average player, but that wasn't the question.
