And... what? Just because Mercer can outrun a speeding car doesn't mean he can outrun a speeding car, if this is a way of saying 'you dont know how fast they were' well theres a simply counter question; You see zombies, monsters, tanks and one guy they're all attacking running at you. Do you leisurely drive away or do you floor it? Lets assume for a second that in the end Alex cant beat Kain. At the very least he's going to wear Kain down to nothing. Think about it, with or without the Wraith Blade, Raziel was able to wear him down and even inflict some kind of pain on him. Mercer is, depending on which speed you want to use, 5-10x faster and stronger than Raziel. With Kain worn down to that extent he'd be highly vulnerable to the teams two powerhouses.Their whole mind is inside him, couldnt pull off those perfect mimics without doing that. Soul is arguable, but again he has everything of every person. So if a virus can have a soul then he has theirs too.
Verg was a total mind/body/soul slave and has been so for 10 years. That level of control is vastly above Charm.
Others seem to disagree, so meh. And iirc it was only about they issue of slaughtering his wife and daughter that he becomes easier to sway, but thats a pretty big thing. Soul rep is still a soul rip right? That I remember he didnt even touch anything with his hands.
Why is Kain reacting first? He has human reaction time compared to the others superhuman+ reactions. Yeah a normal person with normal 0.2 reactions. Nothing to bullet timers. He still has to act on appearance, and his human speed is far too slow to beat the others physically.
For the confusion, Lucifer was the one in DMC4 that broke the stone. Ifrit is the gauntlets in DMC1 that greatly amp Dante's strength with hellfire far hotter than magma. While I dont agree that Kratos is as blade resistant as people say, but given the blows he takes Kain will have trouble getting good damage on him, but H2H is not something he wants to do against Kratos. If you want to go by gameplay then QS can last for as long as his DT lasts where DMC4 shows it can go for 1m30s, longer when he goes all out. But how fast can Kain even do that before getting caught in QS? With it activated his 0.1 peak movements/reactions will take 100 seconds in the eyes of Dante.
Could just teleport. And his arms aren't frozen so he can still attack anyway.. and thats if Kain can even tag him. Even though youre against hypersonic speeds youve admitted that Dante moves at Mach 1. Supersonic is still way above anything Kain's dealt with. Can he use TK on 4 people at the same time?
Technically still mind rape but of a different branch. As long as Kratos over came someone mentally itd count... not that I know if he did or of that scene at all <__<
@That post to Neme^: Raz /did/ kick Kain. And if Raz is meant to be doing 200 times the strength of this kick then Kain would have been knocked back.. about 100 times faster than he did. Theres a limit to how real VG physics can get.
Forgetting about their other speed feats, Vergil did a clear bullet time in their tower-top fight, as did Dante four times against Nero. They react /after/ these Ma2 shots is fired.
Because they would crash? theres like a few meters, tens at best between some skyscrapers, and further you cant prove they did, you cant just claim max speed for every machine/vehicle in the game, gridlocked taxis in traffic dont go at 100 mph, infact i dont see any go at any major speed. mercers not even touching Kain, most of them are not touching Kain but Mercer wear Kain down? if anything everyone other than Kain and possibly mercer thanks to his biology are going to be worn down, Kain and Raz had a fight, Kain by the end being battered by weapons more powerful than Mercer has.
Their minds, their knowledge but mercer himself is one mind, the virus is one mind, it just happens to have all their knowledge. Wheres your evidence to suggest there are hundreds of minds in there at once? Because, there are not hundreds of voices accompanying Mercers in the cutscenes when he is thinking or talking, theres still one person.
Corruption imo, and thats Verg, hes not in this thread.
Well I know more than you on this it seems, and so do "others" so ill let them try and defend Kratos.
Bullet timers, when? who? Dante? Dante who aim dodges most if not all of his enemies, show me Dante bullet timing thats not, without any doubt an aimdodge, because most if not all his enemies with guns aim at him before fireing, including lady. Also, humans cant react, move and stimulate from nothing (humans cant do this, since they cant remove themselves from the world, their constantly under some sitmulai).
Show me their feats/canon behind them please. Kain needs one hit, to take kratos' soul, not a single strike on Kratos was anything more than a punch and as for Chronos, a lot of his energy also goes through his own hangs since they clench together and even that is unkown of how much pressure Kratos would even be under since we dont see him.
QS has a range, you cant claim that no matter where Kain is, hes going to be affected or that would be a no limit fallacy, Kains time powers also have a range of about a room or so we agreed, Kain only has to gesture. Dante has to actually build momentum after activating QS and run up to Kain, also you cant use how long DT takes in gameplay in DMC4 as its limit for QS when QS for all wek now takes more energy than DT.
When has Dante ever teleported, I see trixter as fast speed, a lot of people do so its not just me. Whats speed going to help him, and again, he needs momentum, youve yet to prove Dante goes from zero to mach 1 as soon as he starts moving....Kain gestures if that, Dante is held in the air, he cant run.....then Kain deals with the rest but tbh, Dante is the only real threat.
Show me the video where they react after.

Yeah, I'm not seeing any evidence from your side BT. You have yet to post a single speed feat to prove Kain is faster in reaction-time or movement, when others have posted several showing Kain to be slower than his opposition.I'm going to go ahead and take my win now.
Although I will point out that Hades passively entraps and imprisons all the dead souls in existence within his realm, and even in his body. Hades actively tried to rip out Kratos' soul and failed. Oh, and Alex Mercer's running speed was calced at about 300 miles per hour. Hope this helps you a little BR.
where? youve shown that given some in-game props he can using his strength move fairly quickly, hes not got that here and you ask evidence from me, what do you want exactly? since half the stuff is in the respect thread that ime talking about or is common knowledge.... youve been on this forum for longer than I have, years and yet your claiming youve not seen the dimention reaver before, or the moebius attack dash.
😆 "take your win now", youve won......knowledge, knowledge that Kratos is countered in every way by Kain.
He used hooks that almost physically grasp the soul, requiring him to yank it out, Kratos was stronger than hades, thats all it was. Again, really just a strength feat.
