Grappling is what Kratos is famous for lol, that's the shit he literally grew up on as a Spartan cadet. Even in gameplay every airborne enemy can be grappled and smashed. So I don't know where the doubt is coming from.
He can jump mid air, dash and fly, he can Tele-substitute etc. He has all the mobility in air as any standard airborne character.
Mainly by not being that much into GoW, lol.
Anyways, isn't the jumping mid-air a game mechanic? The rest is fairly valid.
I'd appreciate some scans on that stuff to more properly evaluate, however.
Well, there's a lot of other skill feats we've yet to catalogue for Kratos but the basics are this:
Man was a brutal Spartan general who at a young age was demolishing Spartan soldiers twice his age and size, and he became the youngest Spartan captain and general, his martial prowess was such that he was also able to take on the Champions of other Gods.
In case that wasn't enough, after he got the Blades of Chaos and rampaged through Greece and then ended up killing his wife and child, everyone involved with the Gods started to salivate at Kratos' fighting skill.
Sora isn't even an adult, he's a bit small for his age (1.6 meters tall), let alone not being particularly muscular (I could also cite
this either way, looks aren't a particular factor here), yet is deemed as an unimaginable force from the perspective of characters that could see events across entire centuries in the future (their time was nearly at the start of the series' cosmology), down to being stronger than veteran older formally-considered Keyblade Masters like Mickey Mouse and Aqua. As said before, the distant past characters even used the Book of Prophecies to just inherit his techniques.
It reached a boiling point once Kratos got the powers of Pandora's Box (Notably, Hope, or rather, a sliver of it) and then murked Ares, a God of War who literally had knowledge and cosmic awareness of all forms of war and conflict over all periods of time, past, present and future, with nothing but his own skill and prowess, when his own weapons wouldn't work, Kratos used Ares' Spider-Arms against him, and then when banished to a dimension by Ares (Because Kratos was pushing him over the edge) left to protect apparitions of his wife and daughter, he had to protect them from clones of his that were younger, much stronger, faster, smarter, more battle-capable and far more blood-hungry than he was, Kratos was at a severe disadvantage, and yet he smashed said clones into pieces like glass, forcing Ares to strip him of his magical powers and weapons leaving him with only Hope locked inside Kratos, but even so, once Kratos got his hands onto the Blade of the Gods, all of Ares' power steal and mimicry and cosmic awareness of all war fell to shit, and Ares died, paving the way for Kratos to become the new God of War, making him get the same exact powers as Ares himself.
Eh, I could make a similar argument as said before with the whole deal of the Book of Propecies, the Datascape and Data-Riku, except it's strictly a better feat as KH's cosmology is way larger, meaning that there's far more resources to analyze from if we want to get there. "Spider-Arms" doesn't tell me much, and the whole deal of outskilling "better" clones of himself also potentially falls as one of those "nonsense" feats that aren't usable out of simply not making sense, although the call on that is on clarifications on that and
@azontr .
The last bit of the Blade of the Gods sounds like hax, and I don't need to explain that gaining hax in itself is skill, I guess he has cosmic awareness over all violence that has or will be in the cosmology, which is a notable intelligence trait, but it's difficult to relate that to combat skill here, namely against someone that's strictly better than a (outdated) clone of himself (Data-Sora) that could manage against someone that was aware of all events in a far larger cosmology up to the present (Data-Riku).
Soon after, Kratos is deprived of his Godhood and killed by Zeus, but that doesn't stop him from coming back and charging at the Sisters of Fate to change his destiny. Even the Sisters of Fate and Athena themselves admit that Kratos' battle skills are second to none, and the Sisters also admit that if Kratos ever got the Spear of Destiny, he'd have made good on his threat to kill Zeus right then and there.
Also just hax and resistances, lol, not skill, would you claim that SCP-682 is skilled just because he can hax/resist away 99% of the site? No? Yeah.
I guess he can upscale skill-wise from the rest of the verse, but you've yet to elaborate what other kinds of feats the other characters have to begin with for these purposes beyond what has been said above.
Then there's the video that Gilver showed.
Cough,

In a nutshell for a quick summary of Sora's moveset:
This,
this, and I presume
this was already checked too.
Sora has a surprising amount of proeficiency on a tens of weapons, can mix between them on the fly, and dual/triple wield.
