Poseidon is so big in his water avatar form I think he just range stomps.

Yeah the only advantage Atreus has is that he has a massive AP advantage if turns into a bear.
But that doesn't really help when he just gets nuked with deconstruction hax from a mile away lmao.

Cuz both of those would apparently be AP stomps. This is one of the only matches I could think of where AP is more comparable and isn't a one-shot according to the standards set for the GoW powerscaling.

For who? Sure, if Atreus transforms he'd tear Poseidon apart, but I thought both had advantages here that wouldn't make it a stomp.

Both having advantages over the other doesn't mean much when one advantage is way better than the other.
Like it's cool that Atreus could maul Poseidon into a bloodied pulp, but the sheer range advantage Poseidon has combined with his hax just means that Atreus isn't getting the chance to do that.

How is he gonna get to do that if he can never even reach his water uncle? The AP advantage is completely null and void here. Poseidon could literally rock his shit with a single burst of deconstructing electricity and that'd be it for Atreus.

Do you think either Thor or Freya would be a better match?
- 32,811

Thor vs Poseidon was deemed a stomp because Poseidon couldn't hit a flying target.
Freya would be suicide. She can fly, has a shit-ton of hax that Poseidon doesn't resist, and has arguably greater range via the benefits of interdimensional travel via Bifrost.

what about zeus

In-story Atreus would probably not get ******* obliterated and would probably show resistances to Poseidon's hax cuz "ur a god Boi" , but since this fight has never + can never happen in canon we have no actual evidence that Atreus has the resistances needed to survive a hit from Percy Jackson's dad. Unfortunately a stomp

Zeus negs hard even in base + Fear can't be restricted anymore
If we're talking Zeus vs Poseidon, Zeus literally threatened to fry him and Hades in the GoW2 Novel (Chapter 34).

zeus vs the norse pantheon is what i'm saying
- 17,444
- 11,809
Really?
All that hax and he loses cuz Thor flies?
What about their speeds?
Really? I don't know what hax Freya has that would be considered too much for Poseidon to handle, but it's satisfying to see that, for once, a Norse top tier character outhaxxes a Greek one.

don't worry i'm not afraid of zeus because you'll save the day KLOL.

Speed isn't that much of an issue at face value anymore (Since they all scale to Kratos in that regard), but the flight was, and Thor having much greater range with his shockwaves was also a factor.
Seidr, Bifrost, Vanir magic, pick your poison.
Not a very high bar to cross in all honesty. Poseidon isn't known for having particularly versatile hax or resistance. It's why his ass got handed to him by Hades recently.
- 17,444
- 11,809
That makes sense, although it's weird that he has more range than a massive Poseidon who controls the oceans.
That'll do it. Not to mention the AP gap.

Y'all already forgot his fight with Jormie shook the 9 Realms and that he bonked Jormie hard enough to violently shake and splinter Ygg?
Would prolly end inconclusive as Odin vs Hades ended inconclusive.
- 17,444
- 11,809
Those are the shockwaves of his attacks.
Cuz of her AP advantage?
Man, is there any Norse character who could beat Hades?
- 32,811
- 38,005
Same goes for Poseidon's Planetary range: They're shockwaves.
More or less.
Prolly not, unless there's someone out there who can tank the LoA and resist the Sisters of Fate's hax.

Sorry for a but of derailment but not sure if I'm just blind but is Poseiden missing Large Size for his elemental form?
- 32,811
- 38,005
He can change size at will so...
- 17,767
- 17,268
Atreus has enough raw power to crush Poseidon as of the current scaling (even though narratively Atreus should get ****** lol) but he has garbage range and gets deleted by one blast of lightning.
Zeus' novel statements make the scaling chain such a ******* pain istg.

It's not that Zeus's novel statements make the scaling chain such a pain in the ******* ass, but it's also the fact that compared to his other two brothers, Poseidon just has one good hax to his name and ****-all for Resistances, which honestly makes him appear so puny in comparison to his brothers or even Ares in perspective. I mean, just ask Odin and why him vs Pre-Amp Zeus is considered ambiguous while Post-amp Zeus is forever beyond reach until Egypt gives something new.
- 17,767

It really is the novel statements. Hax are whatever, the developers aren't battleboarders, but those statements is why we have the weird scaling chain of Zeus -> basically the entire Norse pantheon -> Poseidon.

Not much we can do about it now TBF. Ragnarok just upped the novel's legitimacy to parts unknown. Hell, even the 2018 novel's standing in canon is further reinforced by the Fallen Shit comic.

Thought we still gave Large Size even it's through a size alteration but ok.
So should this be closed? seems like a stomp (at the least a massive lean) in Poseidon's favor going off previous comments.

Going off of Yu Takeyama (Mount Lady) we do.
I assumed in Poseidon's case he would have Large Size (Insert type; Can increase his size to this level) or something along those lines. For example if he can reach the size of a skyscraper then grow further to the size of a mountain he'd have multiple types (example: it would say Type 1 to 2; insert description of him increasing his size to these levels). Those are just my thoughts, I simply noticed it's something we do.
