To get it out of the way: Bowser does use his claws. Those three links alone show that Bowser can poison his claws, stab with them, or amp them with magic. There ya go, BloodRain.

I dont know actually, Vorador died before the SR era, infact canonically he died in BO1 but appears in BO2 from an unkown reason, so at some point he was ressurected, I am not sure what happened to him since he is not mentioned in the following games, it would seem he was destroyed as most fans speculate by Kain. Either way, your argument holds no ground still, age is not the only defining power level of a vampire, Kain is still vastly more powerful. Your bringing up vampires other than those featured in the scene....your grasping at straws. Melchiah was considered the weakest of his brothers, to the point where his flesh was constantly rotting off by itself.
Vorador was ancient when Kain was a fledgling, that's about all that needs to be said. Oh, and Melchiah? Raziel couldn't hurt him with claws, either, so why does that matter? He's certainly more powerful than fledgling Dumahim.
So according to your interpretation they look like Sarafan melee weapons (despite sarafan no longer excisting in that period unless your claiming this happened years ago before any evolution/devolution sort of ruining your argument anyway) and based on that you think you have fact to suggest they were meleed? 😆 not convincing, scenario you have a problem with burden of proof, first I have proven the vampires are durable with Raziels comments so its your turn to prove humans had a way to surpass this with your theory of meleeing them.
Yes, unless you have something substantial for your ranged weapon theory? So far, something that resembles a known melee would be more likely to be used in melee than shot out of a siege crossbow, especially since the shape is all wrong for a bolt. Besides, you have no not, in fact, proven that vampires are durable. That's because they regenerate. Play through the game again, you'll notice that vampires bleed when Raziel hits them, and enough blows will stun them while they try to regenerate their injuries.
No durability, just regeneration Which is negated by being impaled, which Bowser can, in fact, do.
Why would raziel look for other means of killing them if their not durable and able to be ripped into piecies? You also misunderstand the use of spears, water etc, because its a constant period of damage meaning it will stay inside them unlike his claws, hence why when water recedes vampires come back to life, when spears are pulled out etc. If Raziel could tear them into piecies with his super strength, he would not need water, the sun etc.
Because they regenerate, obviously. His claws hurt them, and enough damage makes them helpless so Raziel can throw them at something dangerous. Again, no actual durability, they just don't die from slashes. L2LoK, dude.
Well because he was hit by a devasating furnace blast that also explodes with force of its power, its not just "catching alight". NO evidence? you have 2 gameplay videos of a fire render that does the same to most materials such as wood included, which all burn ridiculously fast, theres a consistency in the rendering that either things burn fast for the sake of gameplay or burn fast because of the SR environment. Further, Kain is different because he is millions of times more durable, you cannot melt down something so durable, not in time. This is not a turn based fight where Kain has to wait for bowser to choose another form of attack before doing an action, Kain can instantly go between mist form and solid, I have yet to see reason to belive Bowser can instantly go between suction and fire.
Correction: I have two cutscenes of fire near instantly killing two powerful vampires. Further, please prove that durability relates in any way to fire resistance. Bowser is effectively immune to lava, you imply that this would make him much more durable than Kain, more than he already is. BTW, are you seriously arguing that Bowser can't switch attacks because his game is turn based? That's pretty funny, actually. Though I do hope you realize Bowser has inhale solid creatures around Kain's size, such a Princess Peach, amazon that she may be.
The gas consists of a few little ignitions and the fire burns first to the center for a good few seconds, so no gas ignites to fill the room, its the combustion of fire striking the center that makes it explode.
And the center is also spewing gas, which predictably proceeds to explode. Besides, Dumah catches fire before it explodes, so it doesn't even matter anyway.
Well its proven he can exert more than enough force than Bowser can survive, which is so far nothing really gaugable.
It's not like you really need to gauge them to tell they're above what Kain can do. Even the Bob-Omb explosion throwing him across the continent is clearly above Kain, and it's probably one of the weaker ones.
Yeh, you know that was concering the soul card, its a gameplay mechanic, most bosses are immune to one hit kills and until you can prove it canonically happens your wasting our time.
Yeah, you know that was concerning the dimensional reaver, its a gameplay mechanic, most bosses are immune to it and until you can prove it canonically happens you're wasting our time.
How can a completly different scene overwrite/retcon a FMV previous? it cannot, it has different situations involved. Although I dont know how you spamming this claim is going to convince me.
It's a rather simply matter of consistency. The Defiance heart rip is inconsistent with the Soul Reaver 2 claw attack, so usually the later game takes precedence. This is typically called a retcon. Since we know that Raziel can damage Kain, Soul Reaver 2's cutscene doesn't make much sense.
Whats them not being here have anything to do with it? developers know more about their series as do I, yet you apprently think your a know it all so I have to use developers who know even more than I do. Also prove they were talking about the crease across Kains chest? because in the Q/A it is refered to as Kains death scar, the one made by Raziel is the only one where Kain is refered to or thought of as dead, considering he had lost the only piece of him that would push him into death.
Well, you're to pretend that the developers are on your side, when in reality they wouldn't give a crap about a vs. debate. It's like an appeal to authority, except you're making up things you hope they would say. You don't think Kain's "death scar" is the one he got when he died? When he was killed by assassins? Instead, you think it is the hole that Kain did not actually die from? I've got to admit I don't understand your logic here.
There's what actually happens, and then there's what is more advantageous to Kain. I prefer the former.
