What about the rest of the council?Sure the gameplay has changed dramatically but the actual characters are the same, including what they have done. You cant ignore it just because it got old can you? ofc not...but I was refering to the soul reavers powers which were evident in that game.
It emits blasts on strike, it explodes when he raises it in the air, my point being is that unlike Ganons sword and the Mastersword which are pretty much just piecies of metal, the latter enhanced some to harm evil, the Soul reaver has a vast number of capabilities.
Not quite true, Kratos, Dante sure, but link? nah. And I would argue that it would be easier for Kain to kill an army of weaker opponents (especially those of flesh and spirit) than it would be to defeat a single powerful opponent. If youve played Defiance you know that almost all of Kains reaver attacks expel AOE's around him as he finishes the last combo.
I am not "jumping inside the character", I am simply pointing out that Kain has vastly more tactical skill than I would and even I can see how using the powers i listed would make him nigh unstoppable on this field.
But he did not face off against them is my point, after the initial sword Tk they did [b]nothing
, if they all teleported around, blasted him with magic and such then perhaps it would be impressive.Not one who can transform into mist, regenerate at quick speeds (faster while drinking blood) and teleport. Remember Kain can even transform into bats to relocate the battlefield or turn into a werewolf if he wants.
I doubt even 10 tons, Links bodyweight could ont have taken it even with the boots on. Same with the other guy who gave Link the boots, they both overpowered Goron weight/strength and the only trick was strapping iron to your feet. Also I dont think I have seen any source that actually says their made of solid rock and are solid themselves. [/B]
Who am I leaving out in this game? I am going purely off of memory so I am sure I left someone out.
I ignored it because Kain hasn't used those types of powers since then. It's a completely different game and time for Kain and he's changed big time since then so I go by what happened blood omen 2 an don since it's stayed mainly consistent to what he is capable of since then.
No, it doesn't. it can blast but has has hit plenty of foes before without blasting them. No, those swords aren't just pieces of metal and we aren't getting into whose sword can destroy the other ones as that's just useless speculation. Both can block the other person's sword and it comes down to who inflicts more damage and hits the other one.
How can you say Link hasn't when we've seen him destroy entire forces just like Kain throughout the course of the game. Quit focusing on gameplay it's about as ridiculous as onebomb arrow being thought to be able to take out Kain.
He isn't nigh unstoppable and has never been portrayed as such. he's a badass no question about it but so's raziel, Link, and ganondorf. I give Kain the advantage here but it's very close.
The mages used the mirror to banish him which was impressive considering how easily he killed one of the mages after having a sword impaled inside of him.
This is part 5 alone so he isn't turning into any wolf let's leave out his list of abilities from part 1 and focus on what's in character for him from this game.
