Phanteros never said if Kain or Bayonetta had knowledge of each other, so assuming two scenarios (1] they know of each other, 2] they don't), how do you think Kain would react?
Ok so I have played Bayonetta now, only just defeated the first major boss (fortitude?) and its a great game, it seems to me though that her having to time her dodge of an attack is indeed canon so she cannot unliike Kain activate her power from the beginning.
Assuming that they know of eachother, know what their capable of and begin to fight to the max, I think Kain would activate his time powers and repel shield which would repel her magic and powers back at her, this would be of limited use as she does not seem to use many magical projectile attacks from what I have played, her magic is based more along summoing objects like torture items and demons through her witch weave. She would probably be best to begin by just shooting from range while trying to get close to Kain, she could hope that he fires a projectile or something at her so her own time powers can come into effect but they seem very limited, most of the time when I dodge I get about 4/5 seconds of witch time if that.
She outclasses Kain in the strength category by miles as she throws around the enormous Fortitude boss with ease, not sure about durability however as I have not seen her actually take an impressive blow from memory.
If this was a character fight I think Kain would strike first due to her looking human and of course he hates humans with a vengeance, obviously he wouldnt use his repel shield and time powers straight off the bat and this may give her an advantage although she seems arrogant and like Kain likes to banter so after Kain realises she has some impressive skills he will go through the same powers as said above, or drink her blood through blood shower off the bat since even after she realises Kain "may" be a threat she would not go all out, hell even against Fortitude she waits until he gets fully enraged and attacks her with all his powers before she stops teasing him and gets serious herself.
Ive done better than that, I played the level, thats the fortitude level by the looks if it. Looks more like shes slowing time because those large rocks are flying about all over the place, same thing as dodging an attack from an enemy. Although tbh its still stated in-game on that cleopatra witch item that it was made for the witches who could not react in time.
