[Darkmon_cns]

Antman was counted as having AP/dura comparable to Eternity by growing a lot, which aint far by stretching that much

Now let's be fair, he entered another higher reality Eternity existed in, i doubt Reed has a feat of stretching into that reality

 

[Darkmon_cns]

Sonic easy.

 

[Deidalius]

 

[TMaakkonen]

Oh yea, in KS pages they said this year will have 4 weeks between eps.

 

[XXBenShapiroXx]

Oh yea, in KS pages they said this year will have 4 weeks between eps.

That's gonna be brutal

 

[BlackDarkness679]

Oh yea, in KS pages they said this year will have 4 weeks between eps.

So 12 fights this year

 

[Ser_Hakim_Dayne]

Aragorn annihalates

Between the novel versions yeah, between the live-action versions I don't know.

 

[BlackDarkness679]

So will Death Battle do a composite of greek and norse eras, so this is a peak kratos or they may count only norse era and whatever from greek era that the series itself still counts viable for him

I guess theyll use Norse Kratos and give him all Greek weps. Last years they have composited like crazy so might as well continue that trend. If they were restrictive tho, itd be Norse weps and just Blades of Chaos & Blade of Olympus since those came back.

 

[Peter_"Quicksilver"_Maximoff]

The MFTL+ feat from Reed was him blocking an energy blast from Galactus with a mirror, right?

I think they'll go with composite ngl.

Yes. It'll be weird not to composite Greek and Norse.

The final episode on my birthday

Finally, haven't happened sense the frist episode

You were born on the Day that Will Live In Infamy?

 

[BlackDarkness679]

Now that i think of though, could they do composite? Given with Alucard they established he cant get both schrodinger and his other powers, would Kratos fall there too with all his greek stuff in their eyes?

 

[Emirp sumitpo]

Now that i think of though, could they do composite? Given with Alucard they established he cant get both schrodinger and his other powers, would Kratos fall there too with all his greek stuff in their eyes?

Given they rank characters at their peak, they're probably using Greek Kratos plus the shit Norse Kratos has.

Cause other than some weapons and some haxxes, I don't think they're that different in terms of stats.

I think they'll do this
Composite both stats n hax for Kratos but animation wise have use mostly his Norse era kit

 

[TMaakkonen]

Canonically Kratos should be at least comparable to Greek er so stats arent a problem.

Problem is, majority of Greek weps were destroyed, lost and have stopped working. If it wasnt for Valhalla he wouldnt even have Blade of Olympus ngl. I guess they could not give all Greek weps if he wins without them.

 

[BlackDarkness679]

Well clearly in animation will be more focus on modern ones

Though given they canonically pointed outside a few exceptions Kratos cant use anything from greek era, how they will adress that in the episode in case they composite, as thats entering a case like alucard not having both stuff simultaneously and its either or

 

[TMaakkonen]

Not using composite weps is probably easier pill to swallow.

"Kratos' magic and weapons overwhelm Asura, hell, if he had access to all Greek weapons, he'd be even more powerful, like with the Claws of Hades, that would rip out Asura's soul!" - Boomstick

Ngl, I don't think it would affect the outcome that much. Like even with Norse stuff, Kratos is still a lot more haxxed than Asura afaik.

Yeah, I think they might actually just do this.

 

[TMaakkonen]

Problem with using Greek + Norse is that since its not a thing in games, its easy target to claim DB wanks Kratos, itd be better to leave it off, esp. if Kratos wins without it.

Granted any Kratos win argument will not be taken well tbh lol

 

[SomaKing13]

For the Horde vs WAAAAGHHH

Grimgor from Warhammer Fantasy is a way better match up and more thematic too with both of them being former slaves to leaders of their civilizations, not to mention both actually being fantasy orcs instead of scifi vs fantasy

 

[SomaKing13]

I'm very glad for some Magic: The Gathering love, but who the heck is Nagash?
What's his thematics for old Nicky?

He;s the Supreme God of Death, inventor of necromancy, general massive prick of Warhammer Fantasy/Age of Sigmar

not really sure of the connections though as im not super knowledgeable on Nicola Bolas

 

[Imaginym]

IIRC, Nicol Bolas is a grand scope villain in Magic: The Gathering, notable for being 1 of the few Planeswalkers to retain an old Planeswalker's level of power (Cosmic stuff involving a weird retcon in-universe & stuff. The Mending, I think?) & taking multiple planes worth of mana for himself in Alara. He also has Death stuff as one of his primary things, in part because lore, & being that his main colours of Mana are Black, Red & Blue; Red & Blue are both Black's "allies" in the MtG colour pie, as opposed to its enemies of Green & White; Every colour has 2 enemies & 2 allies, & since Nicky is Black & its 2 allied colours, safe to say it's his primary colour.

Oh so they have a decent amount of stuff in common then, as Nagash is famous for consuming other gods and even attempted to absorb all of the magic in the Eight Mortal Realms (Eight infinite multiverses) He has access to several different flavours of magic (Death, Light, Dark Magic, Nehekarran magic, Necromancy) he's also one of the only level 5 wizards in Fantasy (he's one of only like four characters who has that, as magic caps out at level 4 for everyone else)

Yeah that's something Kratos has an objective advantage of over Asura: sheer versatility and hax with his weapons and magic.

It's rather crazy to think that a significant portion of Kratos' equipment, especially in the Greek era, could realistically beat Asura here and there once he's nicked once. Especially with, as you said, shit like the Claws of Hades and the like.

I wonder if they share any tiers....
It sounds kind of like a neat matchup, & it does sound interesting for DB to do, reading what you've said.

 

[TMaakkonen]

Its often generalized too much, but listing things would def make it clear. Kratos can:

• Blade of Olympus can drain opponents powers, making them weaker and lose abilities as well as make the Blade stronger
• Can slowdown time for several seconds
• Can inflict fire & poison to deal damage over time
• Can inflict freeze and electricity to slow & stun opponents
• Can negate damage at low health for few seconds
• Can resurrected with Resurrection Stones
• If given Greek weapons, can rip out souls

Simplified list would be nice, it would shed light on abilities more. G1 old blog is bit cumbersome to get full grasp easily tbh.

closest we got is using their tier 2 versions, outside of that, though Nagash in that key is a smurf idk if Nicol is or not

the g1 blog for it comes out tommorow

 

[LegendariumOfLies]

Speaking of Kratos and Death Batttle, do you think that Spawn will ever return?

 

[Spinoirr]

looks at Ghost Rider

Oh 100%

 

[BlackDarkness679]

Against Ghost Rider he can very much do
