He was dying? Would have bled to death?
No. He could still walk, talk coherently and fight to a degree, and the amount of bleeding wasn't major at all. For your sake, please pray to God that he may render you less of a retard than you have demonstrated to be. I will pray for you as well.
This is a spite thread. Kratos is beyond bullet proof.
-He jumped off the tallest mountain in Greece and into the sea. A fall from that height into water is the same as falling onto concrete. A normal man would have simply exploded into chum. Kratos was completely whole and not even hurt.
-A sharpened pillar was thrown at him by Ares from several miles away and it reached him in mere seconds. Basically it was traveling well over the speed of sound. When it hit Kratos he didn't even die immediately, he was pinned to a wall and tried to push it off of him before dying of blood loss finally. A normal man would have, again, exploded on contact.
-Kratos survived the collossus' hand crashing down on him, and that was while he was unaware. The hits you don't see hurt the most of course.
Further more, the barbarian loss is played the **** out.
As mentioned already, Kratos was little more than a very skilled human at the time. He was a general in the Spartan army and had lead numerous successful campaigns before.
They were outnumbered and Kratos losing to the barbarian in a personal duel isn't even a sure thing as we never see that happening. Could very well be that he caught him off guard.
Secondly, even if he did get bested by the barbarian king, is that supposed to be a poor showing? Barbarians are obviously meant to be great warriors, somehow that name is confusing people into meaning they can't fight worth shit. lol.
Do keep in mind that being crude does not preclude being effective. One does not need to be some ritualistically fancy how pow chow kung fu guy to be a good fighter, nor is that style of fighting the most effective. (look at the UFC, the best base to have is free style wrestling or greco roman wrestling, certainly not kung fu lol)
The barbarian king was obviously superhuman as well, another thing to keep in mind. That hammer he was holding would probably weigh as much if not more than Kratos yet the barbarian king had no trouble wielding it
See here:
Keep in mind Kratos is already a huge dude himself, one of the developers in the making of god of war videos in the treasure option said Kratos was 7 feet tall. And being as muscular as he is, he's probably at the very least 300 lbs.
Nay. He's 7 feet according to a dev. Anyone else who's watched through the vids in the treasures option in Gow 1 can confirm it. It's in the one where one of the devs (middle aged dude with the goatee and long hair) is talking about the scale of the game; comparing Kratos' size with the monsters he's facing. That's where he makes the statement.
And there is no problem with Theseus being possibly 8 feet tall, artistic license allows such a thing.
And by feats, a bullet wouldn't pierce kratos' skin at all.
