Speed Equal
 
The Sonic fandom and GoW fandom here are like those college roommates who didn't think they'd get along at first and then became best buds.

The last match between these two ended as inconclusive when both were 2-C so Imma delve in again.

Kratos:
  • Info Analysis to know how powerful Hyper Sonic is, giving him an initial advantage.
  • His Soul Manipulation stuff is layered, meaning an attack to Sonic would affect his soul and will absolutely be punishing (or maybe even fatal outright).
  • Much more variety in terms of the hax he's willing and going to use in-character.
  • Potent af Reactive Evolution. Bro might get mad and spawn a resistance lol
= Both have Invulnerability from a Conceptual source of energy.
= Both have layers to their concept stuff.
- Will be unable to counter the potency of Sonic's speed amps until his Accelerated Development allows him to catch up in terms of being able to react to him.

Sonic:
  • In-character speed amps that will at the very least further boost Sonic's mobility.
  • Sonic's Accelerated Development will ensure he's not left behind in terms of AP.
  • 4x greater reaction speed than his combat/travel speed, allowing for more time to react and punish in the initial stages of the fight.
= Both have Invulnerability from a Conceptual source of energy.
= Both have layers to their concept stuff.
  • Sonic leading with H2H combat is his most dangerous move in this entire battle.
  • While he wields abilities Kratos doesn't resist (Info Type 2, Law Manip), Sonic wouldn't think to utilize it unless his back's against the wall.

I'm sure both had a few additions in terms of hax, but I'm thinking that the outcome here has remained largely the same (maybe a bit more in Kratos' favor than last time). Not voting just yet tho, I'll hear from some of the GoWchads

Sonic negates invulnerability

Well, Sonic also has his own AD to still keep up even still

Sonic's Info manip is passive tho

I also am of the same mind as this
Both can still pretty much one tap one another in different means, also jot voting yet, waiting for GoW guys to talk first
 
This seems interesting. Don't know much about Kratos but doesn't Sonic gets faster every second passively alongside his amps? Kratos may have difficulty landing a hit

Also Hyper Sonic has forcefields with his boost if that helps

Kratos also gets faster, and due to SBA they both start at 4 kilometers apart, so Kratos should be able to possibly foresee Sonic, altho if Sonic comes at close range it would become a problem




also due to SBA the versions of the chars used would be Ragnarok Kratos and Super Sonic Hidden Power due to them all being in the same tier, but those being the most recent versions of them

No? SBA is the strongest canon version of the character, which would be Hope Kratos and whatever key of Sonic is the strongest.
 
Anyway, both of them have almost all of each other's abilities so I assume it'd come down to either layers or the few abilities they don't share.

Does Sonic have recently accepted layers in this key? Something that I'd need to be sure off before saying anything.

Character version: The strongest canon version of a character is used, that we have listed. The strongest version being defined as the one with the highest tier; if there are multiple versions with the same tier, then the most recent version.


from what i can read, it is the most recent version since they all have the same tiers (Low 1-C), altho you could have more insight in this than me, maybe i am misinterpreting something

the main one would be his Information manipulation type 2 alongside the causality and law hax that come with it, afaik kratos doesn't resist them

in his resistances he does have 1 layer of resistance to Conceptual Manip, altho Kratos has more layers of this one iirc

It's generally meant to be the strongest in most cases, Kratos is just weird in that his latest key isn't his strongest one. Robo can clarify otherwise.

Anyway, what does he do with his Information Manipulation? I'll remind everyone generally that having an ability in itself isn't an automatic win condition.

Kratos himself has 6 layers of mind/soul/ Type 1 concept/probability manipulation via his attacks and magics, as well as invulnerability that works on such a scale.

Robo again doesn't include the characters' verses and leaves everyone confused.
= Both have layers to their concept stuff.
I can't find the additional layer in the Super Sonic/others key.

Furthermore, were these layers passed in the layer evaluation thread? Because they have to pass.
 
I didn't see this in the profile but... Can Sonic do this on a conceptual level? Because Kratos' invulnerability works even against layered type 1 concepts
The Chaos Emeralds allow for the existence for Conceptual beings (Illumina/Void) by way of allowing their existence to begin with, so yes
Anyway, what does he do with his Information Manipulation? I'll remind everyone generally that having an ability in itself isn't an automatic win condition.
So basically it has a few effects in one:
TL;DR - Cyber Corruption applies forceful Absorption, Sense Manipulation, Memory Manipulation, Paralysis Inducement, Interdimensional BFR, and Power Nullification at a level of Info Type 2.
Kratos himself has 6 layers of mind/soul/ Type 1 concept/probability manipulation via his attacks and magics, as well as invulnerability that works on such a scale.
SHEESH, no point in debating those layers then, Kratos has a clear advantage.

1 try to find this text in the profile, it is in there
and 2 yep, Chaos Energy is conceptual by nature, type 1 as well, one of the reasons i should finish the Chaos Energy page is to comunicate this better it is the Emerald's page

huh, the wording on the page is weird then, by nevermind i guess, Kratos' wincons don't change much anyway regardless from what i can see

Anyway, what does he do with his Information Manipulation? I'll remind everyone generally that having an ability in itself isn't an automatic win condition.
you know how kratos destroys mind/soul/ Type 1 concept and such? same thing, Sonic destroys Information with his attacks

Kratos himself has 6 layers of mind/soul/ Type 1 concept/probability manipulation via his attacks and magics
that would destroy Sonic, altho he does have restoration by running, but that would depend on how quick the destruction of those are, how quick is Kratos'?

as well as invulnerability that works on such a scale.
is it layered as well by any means?

Kratos' attacks can instantly destroy souls, which are Type 1 concepts in GoW. He's also Invulnerable in all facets of his existence, so you'd need to be able to negate Invulnerability on a conceptual level to deal with him. That or have higher layered conceptual destruction.

He can also absorb those he kills and gain their powers, evolve against hax used against him, time travel on a Low 1-C scale (though Sonic can likely also do this), has layered power nullification and absorption etc.

The information attacks would be a major issue so it'd come down to whose moves are quicker on the draw. Both get faster and stronger over time as well. Frankly, if each can nuke each other with their attacks if they land, its inconclusive.

Isn't it basically the layers that determine the difference between very close haxes like Info type 2 and CM type 1?
 
Any chance Sonic can use CC Smurf BFR, seeing as it banished Blaze beyond the reach of 6-D Solaris.
I'm ngl I doubt it mainly because the match doesn't seem like it will last long enough for that.

Kratos because of his Info Analysis and 6 layers of Conceptual Manipulation, Sonic because of his speed amps and passives at a Type 2 Info level.

Basically this. Kratos has layers up the ass to conceptually nuke Sonic's ass to oblivion and also Info Analysis him, but Sonic's passives of Type 2 Info will essentially provide Sonic his own wincon without having to try.

It's f*cking unbelievable that this has happened twice before, but I'm voting inconclusive AGAIN.

They're similar in function but different in application, so it can't really be equalized by layers or having a resistance to one from the other.

This makes this match-up incredibly thematic tho since it's basically Conceptual Manip vs Info Manip

couldn't agree more with you, i vote inconclusive.......for the what? 5th time?


really the Sonic GoW unexpected friendly rivalry where no one ever actually beats the other is somehow the most fun i ever had on this site until now, lol

I say that because they are very similar in function because we do this for haxes like law manip and causality manip which have the same way of working. Maybe it can be done for these two
No. Else a lot of Kratos matches would be "nah, I'd adapt". It sucks a bit but it is what it is.

Voting inconclusive in case that wasn't clear.
So you're saying that this is a fundamentally unhealthy way.

Isn't invulnerability can be used here? Because it basically protects aspects of existence(mind, concepts... etc) that are affected by Info type 2.

Dude, you can argue it out with the site itself. I'm personally eh towards it but again, that's how it goes.
