Hermes faster than Dante? Lol.

I mean, Yamato cuts holes thru dimentions, and I don't see how Kratos ISN'T gonna get cut.
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 😐.

I don't see how he could survive getting his mind, soul, body, and soul attacked.
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.

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 😐.

Fair enough, then.
He didn't exactly "resist," did he?
I don't know if I would call that "getting your soul attacked" or not. Still a great feat, nevertheless.

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.

So has GoWIII been taken into account in this matchup yet or not? And yes, I'm a 'tard for asking and not just reading back a few pages. 😛
Basically, with smart usage of time stopping (such as stabbing Kratos in the eyes) with Quicksilver, Dante wins most of the time.
Without it, Kratos wins a very healthy majority. Due in part to massive physical advantages in strength and durability.
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.
What 'specific centaur part'? There isn't a 'specific centaur part'.
It's an enemy attack. As in not a cutscene. As in its avoidable. As in its a gameplay element. As in its not canon.
Kratos has already tanked worse in canon cutscenes.
I don't have time to get into why Kratos would win handily without time stopping as I'm in class, but he does.
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.
