Ds beat him, but Ares killed him in one strike. Killing him with one successful sword strke is much more impressive than knocking him senseless in a few blows.
Desaad's glove was a cheapshot with his back turned. If you really want to talk about cheashots that is the very definition.
Again, Ares had two strikes and the first one he landed killed him.
Izaya was killable within the Source. Also, as KM and others have mentioned Ares had harnessed his power for millenia just so that he could succeed in that moment. Basically he'd prepped for the situation whereas Izaya hadn't.
Not to mention, he used Highfather's power to get to that position in the first place.

He prepped to get himself in that particular situation and channeled his own energies for this moment. He wasn't amped or anything. One strike is all he needed.
If your talking about FC there were MANY factors outside of just being on Earth that killed DS and it took extensive amount of prep from all others to do it. New Gods can be killed, but as shown in FC you need quite abit of plot devices to do it.
Because he was infact basically depowered
I was singing his praises? funny all I did was correct your inaccurate statement about how DS has never beaten Highfather as easily as Ares did as shown. Was what DS did a cheap shot? Of course, it's the exact same situation Ares did.
He channeled his own energies for this which was still down under his own abilities. He duped Izaya into going along with him. He also duped Darkseid at the same time into thinking that Ds would actually merge himself with the godwave. Defeating Izaya had to do with actual combat. His prep got him in the situation he needed to pull this off.
It was already said DS didn't die in Countdown, Orion merely gravely hurt him. Did you actually say Countdown would have more staying power then Final Crisis? which has already begun to be retconned.
*sigh* The rest of your post is pretty hypocritical
It is Izaya's exotic abilities that allowed him to get to the Source, so mentioning that he used Izaya's power to get there is not inaccurate.
He mentions the power he harnessed for millenia in the battle. Whereas Izaya spent his time and energy scheming and plotting against DS, Ares was scheming for the godwave's final contraction.
The battle was inevitable to Ares, and he prepped to battle Highfather.

He never wanted Steppenwolf to die as thats the reason why Darkseid stopped Izaya, they was both are part of his plan. Who are you talking about wasn't depowered??
Both will probably be ignored, but my point is Ds will return to his classic power levels that were portrayed in countdown as opposed to the colossal failure known as the final crisis.
Yes, he used Izaya's unique connection with the Spurce to get to where he needed to go.
When does he say a millenia? Where in that scan?
Ares was prepared for this battle while Izaya was not. It cost him his life. Ares used his own power to kill him. Izaya could have at least made it interesting, but he went out quickly and without much effort on Ares' part.
Off- panel. At classic levels he can't even counter DD. He submitted to Superman which was a humiliating defeat even Ds admitted as much, he got his heart ripped out by Orion, he was easily shown up by Raker, etc.
