Well it's pretty hard to argue against Ryu Hayabusa but the topic ain't about him

I... can't tell if your argueing for Link in the first part, or Kratos in the second part based on that statement.


Since they've both been fighting since childhood.

I'm in favor of kratos, spartans are the best warriors history has known (i'm sure you know about some greek history) a shield does not give Link more of advantage...he can block with one blade an attack with another.

If we take away all the magic, Kratos doesn't even have the Blades of Chaos/Athena/Exile. Check out the ending of Chains of Olympus. He'd be down to a normal sword and shield.


True, I forgot all about that but my spartan logic stands. He is bred just for fighting, all spartans were and correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't he a captain or a general in the spartan army?

It doesn't though... Spartan Warriors really weren't head and shoulders above other greeks.  It was more propaganda then reality.

Once the Greeks started fighting Strength vs Strength, the spartans started losing.

Hand to hand kratos would rip link apart too. Kratos is the son of zues.

I mean fuck... Link isn't even effected by bombs though...

That doesn't really mean much - without his magic, Kratos is only as strong as a normal guy, which is why his lineage was secret for so long.


Its not magic that gives him strength though. Its from being a an offspring from a devine being. Example: Hercules

Counterpoint: Kratos had the strength of a normal guy during his entire time as a general of the Spartan army (it's why the Barbarian King was able to beat him), and had the strength of a normal guy during the Elysium Fields scene in Chains of Olympus.

Also, spartan fighting style was built SOLEY on line formations...

when the lines broke... the Spartans were hopeless. Spartans relied on their neighbor to protect them.

In a one on one fight... Spartans aren't the best.

Link belongs to maybe one of the few games I 'personally' like in the Nintendo line up but Kratos will whoop his ass!

this is like one of those Dragon ballz vs. some other anime thread....useless cuz it DBZ is a manga about very powerful characters!

How about we cut out all the magical crap an dgo by pur fighting skill. Link's sword and sheild vs Kratos blades?

No magic, no godhoods etc... Kratos wins, unless it's a combined link.

Just pure fighting skill, all other stats even?  Link wins.  Mostly just due to weapon advantage in matchups... Sword and Shield is going to beat dual swords.


really? so a man that has been fighting since child hood would lose based on pure skill?

I... can't tell if your argueing for Link in the first part, or Kratos in the second part based on that statement.

I like this branch of parameters... it'd be interesting.  I remember watching a show "Deadliest Warrior" and while not conclusive was entertaining. 

I might still have to go with Link, as you yourself have said that Spartan Warriors and their tactics were at one time or another legendary.  Links sword and shield, while not being a spear, depending how you play Link, mimics Spartan combat.

But damn it'll be close as again taking it loosely as per the Deadliest Warrior, dual blades are damn nasty.

The problem with Deadliest warrior is it doesn't take into account AI.  The Ninjas lost to a gladiator... (or maybe it was spartan).

In their heavy armor... they should never be able to catch the Ninja... who would be free to keep his distant and "spam" ranged attacks.

Yeah I know, and they used a formula that they didnt divulge to determine how they came up with the numbers.  But going by evenly matched individuals with same experience with the weapons that were part of these parameters, I would still guess the same conclusion.

I don't have a PSP and don't plan on having one. But I watched a few cutscenes from CoO and it looks like he is stronger than an average man back then. Also, I don't know how the barbarian king fight played out but that was in the middle of a war not one on one. Also, Kratos was still mortal in the first GoW and he was still fucking shit up left and right. Also, the weapons aries gives him are seared onto his skin. The pain would make any normal human pass out

In order to take away that magic you would need to make kratos cease to exist which would make the arguement all in void. its not like it was a gift from a god or something. He didn't assk for Zues to be his sperm donor.
