Raiden runs the Gauntlet

It seems this place isn't as active as it once was 🙁

Oh well, Raiden fights these guys in order:

Link (Twilight Princess only)
Cloud Strife (no materia besides the ones he starts with in FF7)
Master Chief
Dante (non-reboot)
Death (Darksiders 2)
Kratos (all weapons, no magic or Blade of Olympus)

Gets to Dante atleast I think Raiden might be stronger hence that multi 1000 ton mech throwing feat but Dante is faster and has lot of other tricks.....

If we gave master chief a binary rifle and a spartan laser, He could likely take raiden down from a long distance, and a smaller distance with the spartan laser, Other than that, Maybe and energy sword could take him, The rest of them. /Shrug

There is no way Chief could beat Raiden.........Jack would one shot him with a punch......

Beats the first half, falls to the second.

Barely into the game and have only seen him lift MG:Ray and deflect bullets. Does it get more impressive than that?

Raiden lifts and slams a mech that is like 10 times bigger then the one on the 1st mission then he rips off it's blade arm which is like 50 meters long weighing couple hundred tons and he uses it as a blade...

How strong is Death?

His strenght feats are pretty meh........he won a small tug of war against Samael who is supposed to be the Devil's equal and that's pretty much it thought it was really minor thing Death got attacked and he blocked it then pushed him back.....but Samael doesnt have any lifting feats.....

As far as strenght feat goes I would say Raiden is above any of the listed...

Raiden isn't even in the same ballpark as Kratos.

Kratos could overpower him with one arm.

Going by feats Kratos wouldn't overpower him with 1 hand......

Kratos not being crushed by Chronos or Atlas does seem a tad more impressive. Plus there's the fact that he won a tug-of-war game with a dude who could pull titans off a mountain.

But, that's just my take on it. As for this thread either Dante or Death beat him.

Totally forgot that.....then he is the 2nd strongest.....

Dante should've been last. Since raiden steamrolls everyone except dante

Composite Kratos beats him easily

He stomps everybody else although Dante's time manipulation in DT form could be problematic

He can't even inconvenience Kratos.

Why what's Kratos's greatest strength feat?

His greatest quantifiable one?

Stopping the slap of a being who weighs upwards of a million tons and carries the setting of the first game on his back.

Or maybe overpowering Hades or Poseidon, who pulls Titans from off a mountain.

Perhaps stopping Atlas from crushing him?

Being sent through the side of a mountain by a volcanic eruption and landing on his feet, without even staggering, was pretty decent.

Since Theseus, Perseus, and the Last Spartan were able to harm him(Perseus and LS using only normal blades, and LS being merely human), saying Raiden can't even inconvenience him...I dunno. Some of his feats, plus the power of his blade lead me to think he could do more than inconvenience him.

To be fair Cloud could put up a good fight for having near equal speed, damage output isn't that far off. If Cloud could take a hit (no strong durability feats, bullets take him out with no regen to compensate) it could be a match.
