Is Sparda good in Devil May Cry?
As Sparda, the sword has the longest reach of all of Dante's melee weapons and is the strongest of the swords: it deals about the same base damage as Alastor does when Devil Triggered.
He was honorable and very wise. He was revered and respected by many other demons for his heroism while serving Mundus, and consequently reviled as a traitor after his rebellion. Human legends speak of his courage, righteousness and justness.
I use it on occasion because it's a little stronger than Alastor and has better reach, but since you have no DT or air hike I don't use it very often. I do break it out for fights against death scissors/scythes though since I usually just do all helm breakers on them anyway and they drop faster to Sparda.
Of course, there's no doubt that Dante has reached the point where he has surpassed his father. While Sparda defeated immensely powerful beings, Dante ended almost all of them. He has never lost in any fight or battle and not even the demon world has been able to hold him.
He is the father of the main protagonist, Dante, and his twin brother, Vergil. Sparda sealed away his own immense power and disappeared in order to prevent his demonic legacy from causing harm to the human world. Throughout the series, Sparda's legacy and influence continue to play a significant role in the storyline.
Sparda was once one of Mundus's loyal generals. During his time in service, he was the mentor of the twin brothers Baul and Modeus, and he entrusted his teachings to Modeus. At some point he saw the tyranny and injustice of his master and rebelled, fighting to save humanity.
By his nature, Dante rejects unnecessary power and is happy as he is. He never wanted to power of Sparda , he even tried to stop Vergil from obtaining it.
Of course, there's no doubt that Dante has reached the point where he has surpassed his father. While Sparda defeated immensely powerful beings, Dante ended almost all of them. He has never lost in any fight or battle, and not even the demon world has been able to hold him.
Of course, Dante wins in the end (with the exception of Devil May Cry 5,) but that's mostly because of Dante's own abilities and not Vergil's lack of strength. When it comes to power, Vergil can overpower Dante reliably. Keep in mind that Vergil nearly killed Dante during their first fight in DMC1.
CONCLUSION: Kratos may have more weapons but they are not as powerful as Vergil's weapons and even if he has the Blade of Olympus, Vergil can regenerate from it since it only works on “Gods” and Titans yet Vergil is neither of those. Basically, Kratos gets annihilated. There's no way he can come out on top.
Can Vergil beat Dante?
At the end of DMC5 Virgil is only marginally more powerful than Dante. They have the same potential, but as Dante states, power is the choice to fight like hell to protect what's important, so Dante usually wins in the end because he is fighting to protect people.
The immensity of his power is evident through his bloodline, his very blood bestowing his descendants with great physical prowess and magical abilities.
Beowulf is cruel, unforgiving and vindictive as was shown when he promised to annihilate every last blood relation of Sparda for the latter's betrayal of the demonkind.
Sparda believed Dante to be the less powerful of the twins, and gave him the weapon that could absorb demonic power and enhance his own.
Julia Agrippina (6 November AD 15 – 23 March AD 59), also referred to as Agrippina the Younger, was Roman empress from 49 to 54 AD, the fourth wife and niece of Emperor Claudius, and the mother of Nero. Agrippina was one of the most prominent women in the Julio-Claudian dynasty.
Sparda's heroism made him legendary in the human world, and he is known as "the Legendary Dark Knight". In Devil May Cry and its successors, Sparda left his power in his sword (known as the Force Edge or the Sparda) in the demonic realm. ("Sparda" is the Japanese inflection for "spada", a Latin word for "sword".)
Goku will not beat Vergil whatsoever. Base form Goku is at least solar system level and high universal in MUI due to feats and statements while Vergil in base is complex multiversal. As you can see, there is a huge gap between the two and I'm gonna show you why Vergil wins.
Despite his heritage, Sparda has slayed countless demons and later on ruled over humans. He is lauded as the most powerful demon in the series and the greatest swordsman. Two thousand years prior to the series, he alone took up arms to take down Mundus and his army of demons and succeeded.
Vergil literally rejected his humanity in an attempt to gain more power and Urizen rejected the Sword of Sparda. Dante ended up becoming one with the sword and fully awakening his demon side.
While the Sparda Devil Trigger and the Majin form are impressive in their own right, the Sin Devil Trigger is widely regarded as Dante's most powerful transformation. Sparda Devil Trigger is simply a lesser version of SDT. I mean he even used it against Urizen to no effect where post-SDT-Dante beat him twice.
Who is older Dante or Vergil?
Vergil does not wield guns, unlike Dante; Morihashi said that Vergil's characterization was challenging because, being the older twin brother, he was intended to be more likable than Dante. The character was made playable in Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition due to extra time the team had after the making of the game.
While he says little about his father, Sparda, over the course of the series, Dante has been shown to clearly maintain a level of respect for, but for a time bitterly resented him due to his absence and inability to prevent Eva's death.
The true answer is in limbo. The Devil May Cry intro states Sparda died, however this is contradicted in later materials written by Bingo and Itsuno. In fact, the DMC4 novel explicitly states he could be dead or alive. He just disappeared.
Nero is revealed as Sparda's descendant, convincing Sanctus to use Kyrie as bait to force Nero to assume the role he intended for Dante. Dante sabotages Sanctus's plans, freeing Nero so he can save Kyrie and destroy Sanctus and the Savior. Nero parts on good terms with Dante, who convinces him to keep Yamato.
Boomstick: While Both Vergil and Zeus were extremely powerful swordsmen and Zeuses Experince and immortality gave him a clear advantage , Vergil edged out in nearly every other category.
