Do you consider Kratos at full power meaning that he is a god?  If so, Kratos would win.

Kratos has killed God's regularly and Dante has killed Mundus king of the underworld . 
While Kratos is far stronger , Dante is faster has more weapons and powers at his disposal which means nothing against God Kratos . 
so overall Kratos takes this 8/10 .

Don't you have to obliterate Dante's heart to kill him? If so, endless battle.

Kratos would start the fight by saying "the Demons have abandoned me!" Then all shit turns loose as he destroys the Devil May Cry's Hell...and on the way he'll run into Dante. Since both thinks the other to be demon they fight and Dante gets torn apart with the Blades of Exile. Then as Kratos destroys Devil May Cry's Universe and all other games he will say "the Fans have abandoned me" and pray to Kratos that you are playing a God of War game at the time...lol I didn't mean what i said about him being the strongest character from any game because there are stronger ones out there i know of already.

When I made this topic I kinda thought Kratos would be the slightly stronger opponent, but I thought I would give it a shot, because both characters are so awesome and the games have similar feel to them. You have to admit that Devil May Cry paved the road for God of War.

In battle, he is capable of moving at the speed of light and creating powerful barriers to shield himself.     
 
that was a piece of info from the god of war wiki about zeus. here is the url if you dont believe me.  
http://godofwar.wikia.com/wiki/Zeus#Powers_and_Abilities     
 
the point is that Hermes is faster than zeus and the source of that speed was from his boots which kratos took after he killed him.

Hermes was weakned when Kratos killed him

Hermes was weakned when Kratos killed him and he haves no feats that puts him above Dante's speed "

Hermes was still capable of moving at high speeds in their fight plus hermes can run up walls due to his speed and dante cant.

yeah,for 2 seconds and he had a crap running on wall that failed almost everytime plus,Hermes was unarmed,had to stop to catch a breath,doesnt have fighting skills like Dante (in fact,Hermes's plan was to punch Kratos until he was KO'ed) ,was the weakest God and showed no super human reflexes
and Dante is faster than weakned Hermes and got reflexes good enough to cut bullets
the Prince,Altair,Ezio and several other characthers that arent super human can run into walls

@Matezoide:
im not saying that hermes is a better fighter then dante im just saying that he is faster. hermes who was the weakest amoung the gods was still proven as the fastest amoung the gods. in the fight with hermes he was moving at high speeds for more than 2 secs. and during the fight kratos tagged him. i know that he was weakened during the fight but he was still moving at high speeds. regardless kratos got the boots of hermes which as we seen in the game, allowed him to run so fast that enemies were lifted off the ground while leaving a trail of fire. Dante cant do that with his speed so case closed. kratos wins.

While Kratos would indeed win this fight, I have to disagree with some things said. 
 
No, Hermes did not run at the speed of light, in the game. 
 
If he did, you really wouldn't have even seen him move. 
 
When you turn on a light switch, do you see the light fade in from the bulb and surrounding area - to the farthest reaches of the room? 
Or, does it appear instantly everywhere?   
Would there be a difference if you were turning on the light in a bigger room, like an auditorium? No. 
Because that's how fast light travels across such small areas. It appears neary instantaneous.
 
On the otherhand, though fast, you could see Hermes move from area to area. 
 
Also, in terms of this matchup, I doubt we'd allow the he only uses it in small bursts. That was simply a limitation placed in the game. The same way that if Kratos has the Olympian Sword, he can pull it out anytime. Yet, in the game, he could only pull it out when his thing (that bar. forgot what it was.)was full. Would you impliment that in a real life fight? No. Same for his limitations on using Hermes shoes the way Hermes did.

Kratos would take this.  Dante's base power is dependant on demon mystics.  Kratos is basically the avatar of the olympians, since he absorbed--or took the weapons they wielded.  Which means Kratos would have the boots of Hermes, meaning he could easily out-speed Dante and blitz him, or use the Blade of Olympus to annhililate him, or even attempt to detach his spirit from his physical form using the hooks of Hades.  I don't think there's anything in Dante's arsenal that could honestly put down Kratos.  I'm sure Dante would give him trouble, but I don't think Kratos has much to worry about with ebony and ivory, considering he has the golden fleece to deflect and block that.  Even of Dante went in devil form, Kratos would match that with his berserkergang and turn it into a bloody mess.

Hermes wasn't moving at the speed of light because he was taunting Kratos to chase him, if you remember in the game when Hermes runs up the chains to Olympus, it was in a complete blur, and it took Kratos time to climb up the chain only to find Hermes sitting atop taunting him.  Hermes is definitely capable of moving FTL, being the messenger of the gods, but for PIS reasons, they had to allow Kratos to get his hands on Hermes to take his boots.  Kratos was able to use the Blade of Olympus during berserkergang, in the game the mechanics made it so the more he killed, the more the bar was filled, so you can only imagine that storyline-wise, him going berserkergang and using the Blade of Olympus occurred when Kratos was absolutely bloodlusted.  It's hard to really argue the stats of the gods in the series, because of the fact that most of them were effected by the evil's released from Pandora's box, it effected each of them in a certain way, which made them all act uncharacteristically, which is a huge reason why Kratos was able to take advantage and kill them.  Each of them had a madness within them, which caused their behavior to change from that which was normal, so sensibly, you would have to assume that without unleashing Pandora's box, the gods would have been impossible to kill.  I mean, even in this first game, before Pandora's box occurred, Ares picked up a pillar and hurled it across the world like a spear and killed Kratos. 
 
That's partly why I have an issue with people saying the gods in the GoW series were weak, even in mythology, the gods are only wounded if they allow it so in the situation, even Heracles acted uncharacteristically, which even Kevin Sorbo said in being interviewed about voicing the Herc in GoW3.  To try and logically explain how the powers work which Kratos has, you have to ignore the game mechanics and focus moreso on what's said in storyline.

"While Kratos would indeed win this fight, I have to disagree with some things said.  No, Hermes did not run at the speed of light, in the game.  If he did, you really wouldn't have even seen him move.  When you turn on a light switch, do you see the light fade in from the bulb and surrounding area - to the farthest reaches of the room? Or, does it appear instantly everywhere?   Would there be a difference if you were turning on the light in a bigger room, like an auditorium? No. Because that's how fast light travels across such small areas. It appears neary instantaneous. On the otherhand, though fast, you could see Hermes move from area to area.  Also, in terms of this matchup, I doubt we'd allow the he only uses it in small bursts. That was simply a limitation placed in the game. The same way that if Kratos has the Olympian Sword, he can pull it out anytime. Yet, in the game, he could only pull it out when his thing (that bar. forgot what it was.)was full. Would you impliment that in a real life fight? No. Same for his limitations on using Hermes shoes the way Hermes did. "
Hermes wasn't moving at the speed of light because he was taunting Kratos to chase him, if you remember in the game when Hermes runs up the chains to Olympus, it was in a complete blur, and it took Kratos time to climb up the chain only to find Hermes sitting atop taunting him.  Hermes is definitely capable of moving FTL, being the messenger of the gods, but for PIS reasons, they had to allow Kratos to get his hands on Hermes to take his boots.  Kratos was able to use the Blade of Olympus during berserkergang, in the game the mechanics made it so the more he killed, the more the bar was filled, so you can only imagine that storyline-wise, him going berserkergang and using the Blade of Olympus occurred when Kratos was absolutely bloodlusted.  It's hard to really argue the stats of the gods in the series, because of the fact that most of them were effected by the evil's released from Pandora's box, it effected each of them in a certain way, which made them all act uncharacteristically, which is a huge reason why Kratos was able to take advantage and kill them.  Each of them had a madness within them, which caused their behavior to change from that which was normal, so sensibly, you would have to assume that without unleashing Pandora's box, the gods would have been impossible to kill.  I mean, even in this first game, before Pandora's box occurred, Ares picked up a pillar and hurled it across the world like a spear and killed Kratos.  That's partly why I have an issue with people saying the gods in the GoW series were weak, even in mythology, the gods are only wounded if they allow it so in the situation, even Heracles acted uncharacteristically, which even Kevin Sorbo said in being interviewed about voicing the Herc in GoW3.  To try and logically explain how the powers work which Kratos has, you have to ignore the game mechanics and focus moreso on what's said in storyline. "

I don't think you understand the how fast the speed of light is.

Go to 4:00 and you'll see him running across the chains of Olympus. 
 
Yeah, quite the fast blur. However, that is nowherenear the speed of light. 
 
It took him at least 5 seconds to cross that length. 
 
Light travels across the length of the earth in 1/10th a second.

At that point, he wasn't simply taunting Kratos. He was traveling across those chains. He wasn't looking back to see if Kratos was following. There wouldn't be a point, his destination was within view of Kratos. 
 
There's no reason to assume that was intentionally slowing down his speed at that moment, for any reason. That he wasn't going near full speed or at least standard speed. There's no reason to assume that he can travel exponentially faster than how he did in that moment. 
 
Again, do you see light blur from your lightbulb to the edges of the room? No, we percieve it as instantaneous.
