iChaos, I recommend you not interjecting at all. You know absolutely nothing.
And read carefully moron. I said Atropos COULD NOT cut him. And no, everything I posted is canon unavoidable cutscenes/qtes or leads to them. Again, please don't post--Once again, you are a moron.

At the very least, he is at Dante's level of speed as he somewhat repeats Dante's best speed feat.
Dante trumps him when it comes to number of feats obviously, but quality > quantity.
Same way Dante never got cut when Vergil used Yamato against him, block the sword with a powerful weapon, move out of the way (which he can easily do with the Boots of Hermes), etc .
Kratos resisted psychological torture from Ares (the entire clone battle took place in Kratos' mind). Granted, he somewhat lost his will afterwards, but with his 'RAWR' reaching new heights in 2-3, he'd be more resistant me thinks.
He also resisted the 'soul grasp' of Hades himself.

True, but he didn't exactly fall for it either. He was weakened yes, but he quickly recovered.
Even if he is singularly focused on vengeance, you must admit, that sort of blind rage strengthens a person's willpower, which in turn would make him more resistant to mental attacks.
Why not? Hades was pulling his soul out . If he had succeeded, Kratos would be Hades' captive.

Kratos just edges out Dante in the pure raw strength area, but accuracy, speed & agility are Dante's by a fair margin, technique is probably also Dante's.
However, Kratos' magical talents do egde out Dante's devil powers as well... Hmm... Close call...
After reading a few of the post, the debaters who analysis the strength, speed, endurance, etc of both Kratos and Dante have a better argument than the Dante fanboys.
The Dante fanboys just brush of Kratos' feats an nothing special and do not give credit to Kratos while its do. While the debaters who analysis the abilities and feats of both Kratos and Dante give credit to both Kratos and Dante where its do, and therefore have a better and less bias argument.
If you want your statements to sound creditable then don't just support one character in every possible angle (speed, strength, combat skills, magic, etc) otherwise your basically claiming its spite thread, and therefore sound fanboyish.
Give credit to both characters where its due and be more analytical of the characters' strengths and weakness. Be less critical and skeptical of the opposing character's feats and abilities.
Analyzing and elaborating a character's ability or feat > criticizing an ability or feat posted by another user as un-significant.
Dante doesn't even need QS or any of his time powers to be marginal faster then anything Kratos has dealt with. He's also strong enough to hurt Kratos, though not on Kratos' level his strength plus gauntlets that can make hits hits several times stronger (Strength increase is in the double digits area) with a sword in hand especially if that sword is Yamato, obviously DT adds to all this. Defiantly going to hurt Kratos, more if you add in his speed to those hits.
For and idea of how it may turn out: Imagine the Hermes boss fight except that Hermes isnt injured, doesn't get tired every 10 seconds but instead regenerates health, is faster, more agile and skilled, high level fighting skill, many many times stronger and has a blade.
Oh, and the battle animations, that several people have told me are counted as legit here, have the Centaur impaling Kratos. Thought id just place that here.

No? Yes. Not that specific centaur part but all scripted animations like that (eg Kains teleporting, DLink jumping on a sword etc) are counted. Least thats what ive been told.

As in the general set animations. DLink jumping on the sword is avoidable too but still taken in as a set animation that is in the characters capability.
..the hell you on here in class ._. as proven in another thread Dante's speed can make it look like he used QS, and in his weakest from. Dante's base is strong enough and can be upped by Gilgamesh thats makes him a large degree stronger, DT and Yamato that's main skill is cutting and is really good at it.
