Talk:Akuma vs. Kratos/@comment-24750734-20151222131723

Prediction:

Now this, this is close. In terms of strength, speed, durability, they're about damn equal.

However, I'd give the slight edge to the strongest Street Fighter. For starters, Kratos is only equal to Akuma in reaction speed, not travel and besides that, Akuma is still a slight bit faster in both reaction and travel. Then there's Shin Akuma. Here's an extract from the official SF wiki.

"His personality remains more or less the same as the original. Essentially, he is Akuma using the fullest extent of his power. However, he is more competitive in battle and less merciful when he is fighting a strong warrior. He will only fight at his true potential when he has found an equal to do battle with. "
