In what way shape or form is Kratos, a guy who has Spiderman level + feats of agility, 'slow'?I swear some of you guys don't even pay attention to the games you are playing.
His movements in short bursts look like he's teleporting

no.the game gives the appearence of massive speed because when he runs hims image becomes blurred and hard to focus on. but if you look at the amount of ground he covers when he runs and how long it takes him to cover it hes not really not moving that fast.
no. not going to bother to link to videos either. I'm talking about cutscenes. you are talking about gameplay.
Spidey+? Yeah he's agile but overall movement is not on that level.

kratos didnt beat him in a cutscene so your point is irrelevant then.
youd be wrong anyway. there are multiple cutscenes in that video. what you are doing is cherry picking. cute but wrong.

Lol. Amateurish. 'He didn't beat him in a cutscene'. No, he didn't, unfortunately all Kratos managed to do was beat him canonically...lol. And how did he do that? By hitting him. How do you know you are hitting him? Because Hermes' dialogue mid-battle says so. And what do you see in the cutscene after the fight? A bloodied Hermes trash talking to you before his death. Why was he bloody? Because he was getting hit.
And the 'multiple cutscenes' that you refer to are somehow supposed to contradict the cutscene feats than I'm talking about because your subjective analysis says they aren't impressive. Amateurish. You do understand that Hermes is toying with Kratos in that chase yes? Often times stopping completely before Kratos is only inches away from touching him, such as at 1:56, and then darting away.
Because your analysis is based on a gamplay mechanic. We have no idea how much time is supposed to be passing during that fight, i.e. we do not know if it was actually real time or not.
We DO however know what Hermes' top speed is, and we don't assume he's going slower than what he's capable of, especially if he's fighting for his life. If Hermes was allowed to numerically move at the same speeds he does in the cutscenes I'm talking about, then Kratos 'hit boxes' or whatever you would call them, would have trouble connecting at all. That's a gameplay mechanic/consideration. Just as in DMC, where the actual game moves slower than the canonical speeds possible.

yes, we do. look at their surroundings, specifically the rain. if that whole debacle wasnt moving in real time then all the people and objects that arent moving at super speeds would be moving in slow motion compared to kratos and hermes
That's not good enough I'm afraid. Thats not to say the way time may have been passing in that battle is supposed to be exactly the same as the rest of the game.
Still, its a mechanic argument and his top speed is very respectable and we have no reason to believe he wasn't using it at least part of the time.
Kratos reacting to Charon's movements, 00:26-00:37:
The notion of Kratos being slow has to die. He has never demonstrated slowness in his entire run as Hades' herald to beyond.

Dunno what world you're in, but Hermes wasn't fast enough to speedblitz anything.We've seen Rock Polish make a Rhyperior move faster.
When he meets Kratos, he moved pretty fast. During the whole chase sequence, he was obviously fooling around the whole time and during the boss fight, he was tired (which is stupid since he's a god).

He should beat Ridley if he's allowed all his learnable moves. He beats the other two as well.
I disagree with beating Ridley, personally. Granted that both Tyranitar and Ridley are mountain busters, Ridley is super fast and pretty strong. Only Ridley's ranged attacks have displayed that much power, though, and claw strength has only been shown up to tearing starship armor.
The simple fact, however, is that Tyranitar doesn't live on a planet with 800 times the gravity of Earth.
