El Alamein's Edges:

 Close Range: Arming Sword vs. Mugai Ryu:  Okay, so the arming sword is notable for being able to be used in a slashing or thrusting fashion, and as a type of hand-and-a-half (or bastard) sword, the user can grip the middle of the blade with one hand for greater control in a stabbing attack (as per Joan of Arc vs. William the Conqueror). The Wakizashi-type Mugai Ryu, alternately, is a primarily slashing weapon (although I suppose it can be used to stab, seppuku-style, but I'm not sure how combat-practical that is). I really don't care about the whole normal steel vs. demonic-steel debate because when it comes down to it both weapons will get the job done. It definitely looks like the arming sword has a bigger and more effective hand-guard than the Mugai Ryu, though, so that factor in combination with the arming sword's greater versatility gets it my edge.

Edge: Dante

 Mid Range: Scythe vs. Axe:  Easy win for the axe here. The scythe might be longer but it's all shaft with a bit of blade at the tip. The ridiculous size requires a lot of room to maneuver, and as soon as you close even part of the distance, the weapon loses its effectiveness. The axe's blade is much more combat practical and at a more manageable four feet in length it can still be used somewhat effectively as an opponent closes the distance. Couple that with the fact that the axe is likely heavier and can probably deliver blunt trauma through armor even if the blade doesn't cut right through, and it gets the edge.

Edge: Scorpion

 Long Range: Cross vs. GET OVER HERE!:  Okay, this seems like a super OP'd win for Dante here. Since Scorpion is a damned soul, the holy attack will wreak havoc upon his body and soul. The kunai on a chain probably has a limited range, if anything simply because it's attached to a chain so the reach of the weapon is hampered by however long the chain is. To be honest, this is probably what's gonna get Dante my vote... but yeah. The cross does bonus damage against unholy warriors, and Scorpion fits the bill.

Edge: Dante

 Special Weapons: Halberd vs. Hellfire Breath:  To be honest, it'd have been an interesting comparison to pit the cross against the hellfire breath, but I digress. The hellfire breath wins, because it will instantly incinerate an opponent if they're in an already weakened state. That being said, the halberd will be quite an effective tool and I see it making up for Dante's obvious shortcoming in mid range with the impractical scythe, so while Scorpion gets the edge Dante still has an impressive weapon.

Edge: Scorpion

WINNER: DANTE ALIGHIERI

Yeah, no surprise. Dante's got better weapons at close range and long range, and even where he loses out at mid range he still makes up for it with the special weapons category's halberd (if I was comparing the axe to the halberd, the halberd would get the edge). Dante's cross attack is going to totally and completely destroy Scorpion, while Scorpion's best shot at countering with his hellfire breath has a pathetically short range and seems to be only useful against an opponent who is already on his last leg. Combine this with Dante's superior armor, and he'll be able to take more hits than his foe while dealing out enormous amounts of damage. Scorpion is going down fast and hard in this fight.
