Well, that may be. Must be a gameplay mechanic or something because an actual cinematic event such as Titans hand stopping should leave his skin almost impervious to a centaur.
Then again, Link does not look strong and Kratos as muscular as he is does not "look" large or strong enough to hold up a titans hand. Maybe the centaur is stronger than he looks, being mythical creature and all.

God damn it. Once more so you can understand something this basic. It's a ****ing enemy attack, a non-optional, non-cutscene, non-canon, completely gameplay depedent, enemy attack. And you only get stabbed if you FAIL to counter it in time in the first place.
It's the same as saying 7 or so zombie enemies are strong enough to weigh down Kratos in a dogpile for a few moments. 😆
Link can't hurt Kratos with the Master Sword, at least not by way of PSI anyway. Perhaps its magical enchantment will allow damage, but not on pure cutting ability.
This is the same as the DLink jumping on your sword feat. It only happens if you do that attack so it doesn't have to happen, but its still counted as a feat 'cause its a set animation.
Cant make out what that first one is. Why would the Scorpion's pincers be sword-sharp? And grabbing the crab leg means? (just watched that scene again) Holding the sword somehow shows he's got some crazy hand durability but he's be stabbed through the body by the same sword by the same person so... palm feat.
Say he does get stabbed in canon by this centaur. All that happens is that he's face-first on the floor, with no wound or no damage done to him (barring the health bar which is mostly a gameplay element, outside of 2 events in the series).
Insta-regeneration!!!!!!!!
He's stopped things with a lot more PSI than a simple Centaur's spear, like Atropos' claws (she's strong enough to immobilize him in her grasp BTW).
And no, that Atropos feat wasn't a "palm feat."
That's a giant Scorpion. 😐 A Scorpion in the real world is capable of grasping a fish or a lizard with its pincers, and even crushing it. Do you know how much PSI Skorpius is dishing out when it grabs something? I cannot give the actual figure, but it's definitely a lot. Especially when you consider the fact that Skorpius is at least 10 times larger than an average Scorpion.
It is not the same as the Dark Link feat. That's a feat for a boss that isn't really optional either as it will happen inevitably as you continue to attack him.
A regular enemy being able to damage you in gameplay is a ****ing gameplay mechanic. Again, its the same as claiming a half a dozen or so zombie enemies are strong enough and heavy enough to weigh down Kratos for a few seconds, when by feats, we know that's not the case. Gameplay nothing more. Especially since by gameplay you have the option of completely thwarting the QTE, before the damage takes place.
1. First one, Atropos grabs Kratos with her sword like nails and drags him backward. Durability feat.
2. The leviathan hit him dead on in the torso at the same moment he grabbed it. He didn't stop the impact as the impact knocked him to his knees, and he didn't even grab the point either, he grabbed a couple of feet passed it. The leviathan creatures are strong enough to catch a punch from Gaia and stop it clean. Kratos getting hit by the point of one of its legs is a massive durability feat thus.
3. 'palm feat'. lmao. Because apparently his chest wouldn't be able to tank something that his palms easily could right? He got pierced, being pierced is different than being slashed, the former is obviously much more volatile. Also when he did stab himself he charged it up first, and then he had to plunge it even deeper a second time as it didn't go in deep enough with the first stab. That too, is a durability feat.
4. Being caught and squeezed near the fulcrum of two edges sliding past each other (giant scissors basically) like the scorpion's claws are designed , is a massive cutting durability feat. Scissor edges aren't necessarily sharp, but they cut well regardless.
You have some complex with thinking PSI on a sword is somehow unconquerable. Sword wielding would NOT produce more PSI than a mountain + level strength attack such as Cronos' palm smash.

10 times is a massive, massive, massive, massive, understatement dude. 😛
If you take a 3 inch scorpion, and then find a 6 inch scorpion of equal proportions, the larger scorpion is dimensionally obviously twice as large, but weight wise it would be 8 times as heavy.

Damage is one thing, set animation is another. If a child throws a stone at Kratos and he takes damage, that's just a gameplay mechanic. The centaur after a failed QTE impales, drags and flicks him away. Its not the same as basic attacks. Btw the pile up doesn't mean Kratos is weaker, just that for that second he was overwhelm but obviously it wasn't enough.
1. Said below (v wrote before) that its still under the centaurs stab in terms of force.
2. 1. The legs arnt sharp and no, digging into Gaias earthy hide does not make them sharp. Durable enough to stop that isnt the same as a strong sword wielder. 2. (and yes those lines are accurate, checked the hand placement to the length) that plus following the actual direction path of the leg backs this up. In other words, it doesn't make contact.
3. Well technically the palms would take more for having thicker skin then the chest, that and slice<stab. Whenever he's been stabbed by the thing by Zeus in GoW2 and Kratos in 3 (and maybe another time) it didnt take their titan stopping strength to do so. How is that a durability feat? The blade went all the way through, second push means nothing as there is no 'deep enough' as it came out the other side.
4. v Scorpions pincers are for crushing and ripping not slicing or cutting. Its not a sharp feat, its a resisting being crushed feat.
I didnt mention PSI.. Stopping the titan slap is Kratos strength x his durability to resist the hit, emphasis on strength as thats the larger of the two. Stabbing only works on his durability, eg you'd have to take away Kratos' strength in that smash to leave us with the crush durability, and you need about 80x less force to cut then to crush. However the MS's magic would most likely strengthen it in this situation.

He's alive as its still game based damage that's taken of the life bar. (And it is largely damaging) IIR she was holding him which would leave deep cuts on a a normal person so shows some durability there, is still under impalement in terms of force aka from the centaur.
Crushing =/= slicing. Not the same as resisting a blade as real pincers are for crushing and ripping not slicing. (To note IRL those kind of pincers are the weaker king, the thin pincers.)
