Young Kratos vs Old Kratos

To what degree?

Like I said, Old Kratos has more experience and knows his younger self's attacks. Brute strength shouldn't be a huge factor here unless the gap is massive.
 
Pretty considerable.

Thor and Kratos are about on par. Young Kratos would likely solo the pantheon.
 
No. Kratos in the new game is inferior to his previous self due to his age and his tendency to hold back
 
Massively FTL+ and possibly Infinite via being far faster than his Hypersonic+ self. Unless we're assuming his base in his GoW1 key is just as fast as himself with the power of Pandoras Box I think Old Kratos needs his speed rating and/or his justification fixed.
 
Well now we have new keys and this should be decided by pure hax and Young Kratos has a good bit of experience this should be insta gg
 
I would say Young Kratos still has the upperhand over Old Kratos, I'm gonna try to list out why is that so let me know if I write down some wrong Informations!

- Young Kratos still hold the Blade of Olympus, which is the strongest weapon in GoWverse where it can kill both Gods and Titans alike.
- He still has Golden Fleece which literally can deflect any kind of physical and magical attack and it is strong enough to deflect a strike from the Blade of Olympus. We saw that Golden Fleece got destroyed at the end of God of War III by Zeus's astral form, but that make sense since Kratos need to exactly timed his parry precisely but then he got caught off guard by Zeus's surprise attack hence why Golden Fleece got destroyed in the end.
- In matter of Physical strength and endurance Young Kratos are at his strongest in God of War III since he's exerting his strength non-stop from the start of his journey on God of War II until God of War III. Compared to Old Kratos who's been holding back and not really going into a big fight until he fought against Baldur for the first time.
- Some people make a fair point that Old Kratos will definitely know what Young Kratos will do, so that will definitely give Old Kratos advantages over Young Kratos. But then Old Kratos are pretty much rusty in his performance compared to his young self so even if he knows what Young Kratos's gonna do, he can't really keep up that much with his younger self since Young Kratos are much stronger than the Old Kratos.
- Kratos are a master tacticians and he is very good in adapting into situations that he's into, so I guess Young Kratos will find a way to outpowered and outsmarted Old Kratos with tactics.
- Young Kratos still holds the power of Hope, which if I remember is the strongest power in GoWverse which means Kratos are the strongest being in GoWverse when he's still having the power of Hope.

That's what I can listed on why Young Kratos still has the upperhand over Old Kratos.

But personally in my opinion their fight will ended up in stalemate, they literally can't be killed even Kratos try to kill himself and failed, and even if one of them kill the other they will just return from the death as Athena stated that death cannot hold those with purpose, both Young and Old Kratos has their own motivations to overcome death, so this battle are pretty much going to be endless.
