I must say I'm very impressed by the cast of characters (but I have no experience playing the games that each of the characters come from so...) To me, the order looks like this:

8th. Ryu - Despite being a ninja and thus possessing great agility and stealth, he is of course a human being and thus there may be room for human error and he is not that immortal (unlike some of the other participants) 7th. Cole - Like Ryu, he is human but possess more advanced weaponry than Ryu and is very agile having learnt parkour 6th. Dante (Inferno) - He is more skilled with his weapons and possess more brute strength 5th. Bayonetta - She is a witch with super-human strength and enchanted weapons. Need I say more? 4th. Dante (DmC) - He can wield his weapons with such sheer force that he might be able to take down his opponents with one stroke of his weapons 3rd. Hawke - Having faced a lot of tough enemies, he should be able to overpower the other characters - especially if they happen to possess magical capabilities (note I say magical but not mythological) 2nd. Kratos - As the God of War, he could easily be able to overpower the other opponents thanks to his weapons of invincible strength and experience fighting godly beings 1st. Alex Mercer - He is a shapeshifter, a being made of a virus (that could infect and kill Ryu, Cole and perhaps Hawke) and is able to absorb the powers of anyone else (human or otherwise although it will take some time)

That's the best I can put my votes and reasons
