Link vs Kratos

Oh well.

I closed the thread because, despite it being one of the longest running ones in the forum at the time, it had been ruined by petty squabbling and off-topic posting. I said that Halo sucks because that is my opinion, that it sucks. I am allowed to express my opinion, since that's all this forum is about, people's opinions.

And I've been saying it since I took over this forum. A lot of the matches here are the same tired thing seen over and over. There are literally thousands upon thousands of games and thus characters that can be used. And yet the same characters are constantly seen - SF, Tekken, Mortal Kombat, and the occasional Halo, Metroid, FF or Zelda character thrown in. Come on guys, I KNOW you play more games than just those.

What I think WOULD be greatly helpful for people, though, is if you give links to a wiki article or something like that about the characters. Not everyone knows who every character is, and if they can quickly read up on some info, it might help the threads that use characters that aren't the same well-known ones that are always seen.

hahaha, that MC vs. Samus thread was annoying. Probably the most prolonged debate I've ever been in. And I spent more then half fo that fighting a fanboy...

I remember when I used to read these threads a long time ago(yes, I'm that big a loser). Most people were good debaters. I decided to sign up to KMC and I find out the threads I used to read no longer had the great debates I wanted. The best debate I've had so far was the Kratos vs. Sora thread, it was the the only one worth debating since my opponent was actually a good debater.

Well, on topic Kratos wins.
Strength: Kratos, it's not even close, I don't give a rat's ass what gauntlets Link has. Kratos lifts giant pillars, slabs of earth and other extremely heavy objects and he is strong enough to force a giant monster like the Hydra's head through a large pike on a ship.

Speed: Well, it seems about even as far as running speed goes. Sword striking speed goes to Link.

Equipment: Link has more equipment to be sure, but as Kratos' different weapons would be more effective in this fight. Kratos has his chain blades which have great range for melee weapons and are fast strong, and on fire. Artemis' Blade is a large weapon that hews enemies to pieces, Barbarian's Hammer is a large hammer that can cause a shockwave blast in front of him and can summon undead souls to attack enemies for him, Spear of Destiny is a fast weapon that can extend during combos and shoots a large blast, Blade of Olympus is a large sword that shreds enemies and can shoot a powerful blast. His Golden Fleece can deflect any projectile(like Light Arrows) and can block melee attacks and counter with his chain blades.

Magic: As far as offensive magic goes Kratos has the advantage. His Poseidon's Rage and Atlas quake cause devastation around him, Euryale's Head can turn him to stone, he can throw thunderbolts, he can summon invincible minions from Hades, Cronos' Rage sets electric traps, Typhon's Bane can rapidly fire extremely fast and hard to dodge wind arrows and can cause a mini cyclone, and that's it.

Brutality: If you know ANYTING about Kratos you know the answer to this.

Experience: Kratos was raised since a small child to fight and has ever since.

Pimpness: Kratos, in GOWII two girls he never met were having a bath in a spa and he had a threesome with them.😎

Link wins.

Seriously though, I adore Link. One of my favourite game characters, but I think that Kratos would devastate him no end, mainly for all the reasons V2D mentioned. Play GoW and you’ll see Kratos = a WMD in the form of a huge HUUUGE man. Link’s arsenal of tricks won’t stand up against Kratos no matter how many hearts or fairies in bottles he has.

Well put. Sounds convincing.

When I made the thread I was originally going to use Twilight Princess Link, but I couldn't find a small picture of that variant so I used the OoT pic.

Ocarina of Time Link just to respect the image.

I just gotta say, that is EXACTLY what I think. (Not the HALO part, just about this forum).
It is totally run over by FF, Tekken and SF etc. (Not saying those are bad, just that it gets a little much I think, cause I ain't a very big fan of them, and when a thread of mine gets 0 posts it's kinda dull).
I left this forum, and now that the new MGS4 trailer showed up and SBP made threads that were interesting for me, I came back after a long time of not posting regularly if at all.

I think it's exactly what we need, a little difference. Post other fights, new characters not used often or something like that, or scenarios which are more fun, like a "Hyrule vs Termina" or something.

About the fight, well, I haven't played God of War, so I'm clueless. He seems to pack quite a punch in all his weapons though, in a straight out fight with their weapons I don't think Link matches him.

I'm trying to start a revolution. We need to make this forum fun with variety again.

Let's see here

Power: I'm going to give this to kratos, even though I haven't play much God of War. I've played enough to know that Kratos has enough raw power to: Dismemeber organisms barehanded, Knock Sea-monsters around, and fight any adversary head on. Link can't really do that, he has to utilise Hit n' Run tactics just to supress his enemy. He cannot take kratos in a straight sword fight, and I believe Link is smart enough to realise this.

Speed: I haven't seen anything remarkabale from both competitors. So, I'll give neither an advantage here.

Evasion: Link, hands down is much more agile than Kratos. His evasive movements should be enough to keep him from any kratos's heavy rushdowns. They also compliment his Hit N' Run strategy quite well. If link is in an open space, then it make it difficult for Kratos.

Defense: Link.

-Mirror Sheild
-Nayru's Love
-Evasion Skills

I could go on, but you see the point. Kratos will not be able to hit link as easily as he can hit him, IMO. Kratos will be hard pressed to strike link down with, and even if he can Rush him down I think link can hold him down. His defense is comparable to Kratos's power, IMO.

Magic: Hm, well link has more versatile magic

Nayru's Love: That should sheild him from most of kratos heavy guns

Faroe's Wind: I dunno if this can be used for a battle situation, but it can give link great breathing space. especially if Kratos is pressurring Link.

Din's Fire: A good area affecting attack that can hit Kratos for the most part.

I answered your pms. That website is actually cool.

I just had to point this out, Kratos can dodge things far more effectively than Link with one move, his dodge roll. Basically he rolls surprisingly quickly in some direction about 15-20 feet away to dodge many attacks and is used mostly when fighting giants that possess superior strength.

Yeah, but link has much more evasive tactics than kratos. One roll isn't going to cut it.
