Talk:Kratos VS Guts/@comment-28978568-20180703165548/@comment-5035900-20181123004243

Four months late, but after having just completed the story of God of War (2018), I can definitely say that Kratos' arsenal and abilities have changed enough that using that Kratos against Guts would make for an entirely new debate.

Having used Kratos back when he was at his peak in God of War III, I found that his extensive arsenal combined with the defensive Golden Fleece and a near-perfect match for Dragonslayer in the Blade of Olympus gave Kratos many edges against the Black Swordsman. But taking Kratos with his current arsenal consisting of the Leviathan Axe, Guardian Shield, runes, and the Blades of Chaos, I find he doesn't have as wide and varied an arsenal and doesn't have as many counters to Dragonslayer and the Berserker Armor.

Will it change the outcome? I'll leave that for DoomGaze to decide, but I'm certainly intrigued to see what happens.
