Kratos Versus Ryu Hayabusa

I maintain Ryu is probably much faster than Dante.

Full access to all combat abilities. God Kratos is not a combat ability, it's an amp.

Is Ryu or Hermes faster than this?

I don't know about Hermes as I don't have GoW3 yet and I refuse to watch that video. Anyway, Cyner posted pretty good feats in Ryu so it's a stalemate in my POV until I see what else Kratos can do in GoW3.

Not saying Ryu is faster, but without Quicksilver, they are around the same level.

Ryu's speed and finesse would overcome Kratos. If I had to pick one guy of the two to get out of an impossible situation, I'd pick Ryu.

Oh by the way, I will say that the creator of the Gaidens (Tomonubu Itagaki, who sadly left Tecmo after NG2 for the Xbox 360 was finished) said that the gameplay represents Ryu's capabilities, meaning, one shouldn't go around and say "that is gameplay" when someone posts a video of Ninja Gaiden gameplay. Director himself said it's representative of Hayabusa.

Of course, that's not to say there aren't glitches, but I think it's obvious what is a glitch and what isn't in Ninja Gaiden. I may look for the video of this (seen it myself, but like 5 years ago lol) later, because that will not be an easy find. I once spent an hour trying to find it on youtube. I'll find it later if I care enough.

Doesn't matter how fast he is, really. Kratos has the head of medusa.

The faster you are, the lesser chance you have of being stoned, right?

Not if Kratos uses the instant-petrification rays.

Ryu can teleport behind him before then and give him the stone cold stunner.

Not before Kratos drops Poseidon's Rage. Hewouldn't even need a Gorgon head to beat Hayabusa. That, and teleporting didn't help Ares or Zeus; it won't help Hayabusa.

There's still no way Kratos can catch Hayabusa, really.

I should find you guys some videos of the boss fights so you guys can see the kind of power his enemies wield.

just a small showing.

Titans cause more damage than that by walking.

(GoWIII spoiler):

Spoiler:
And Kratos kills at least three (That, and Poseidon's death causes a tsunami).

Where are you guys getting these spoiler from?

Leaked info/videos from people who have the game already.

Let me guess Hayabusa is going to stab Kratos in the back?

Ryu doesn't have the strength to hurt Kratos with a slash. Kratos has some epic durability feats coming up.

Just wait till GoW3 comes out. This is a massive mismatch truly.

Pretty much just youtube.

Hell, one user has an HD walkthrough that's up to part 13 (as I post this).
