Quite frankly I'm getting rather tired of people saying no one can beat Kratos. Well I saw a video not too long ago that list a good number of characters that can beat Kratos. Unfortunately out of like the 20 characters he listed, only four of them were from video games. So I will go on and make my own list. I'm not a Kratos hater, in fact I like Kratos but he's given way more credit than he deserves. Also you can't claim that I'm an Xbox fanboy, because I've never owned an Xbox of any kind and plus I own Sony and Nintendo consoles and portable devices. Also let's keep in mind of characters that appear in crossover games like Marvel vs Capcom, Mortal Kombat vs DC or Kingdom Hearts and the like. without further ado.
1) Laharl (Disgaea)
Reasons:
-Laharl managed to take down an entire battalion of Earth Defense Warships through his own physical strength and power of flight. Sure Kratos can fly, but unfortunately he needs to be holding the wings of Icarus to do such, and Kratos strength might be able to save him from being squished between the fighters of a titan but do you really believe Kratos could survive an onslaught of lasers coming from thousands of warships.
-Laharl's Overlord's Wrath attack. It's essentially like Piccolo's hellzone grenade attack, a bunch of energy bombs that surround his poor victims waiting to blast their asses to kingdom come.
-Kratos doesn't have a single goddamn thing that he can do against a city destroying meteor, and Laharl can use his Meteor Impact ability as many times as he needs if Kratos doesn't go down after the first one.
2) Gig (Soul Nomad and the World Eaters)
Reasons:
-Sure Kratos has killed A (notice the emphasis on the "a") god of death, but Thanatos is a fucking pussy compared to Gig. Can Thanatos unleash a laser storm on Kratos?
-Gig is the master of World Eaters and Reapers, even if he wasn't allowed to use the world eaters Gig could still beat Kratos
-Gig can slice through mountains with his Scythe, just like he'd be able to slice though Kratos' existence
-Unlike Kratos, Gig can fly and still effectively fight (Unlike Kratos who needs to hold the Wings of Icarus in order to use them for flight)
3) Overlord Zetta (Makai Kingdom)
Reasons:
-Zetta is so powerful that he can actually cut through Dimensional fabric when using the full force of his strength (his Badass Overdrive attack)
-His Zetta beam can blow up an asteroid belt
4) Pram (Makai Kingdom)
Reasons:
-Pram can create a second ice age
-Just freeze Kratos to sub-zero levels and shatter him
-Pram is strong enough to effectively punch a foe underwater so hard that it the force of them being punched would able to to destroy a sunken ship.
5) Hades (Kid Icarus Uprising)
Reasons:
-Even if Kratos can manage to cut off any part of Hades (including his head), Hades can grow it back, Hades can't die from anything short of utter annihilation
-The Hades from God of War is a little bitch compared to this Hades
-The Claws of Hades ain't gonna help either, because we've seen Cronos, Atlas (Hades needed Poseidon's help to capture his soul), and Kratos resist them.
-Hades' is still alive without a HEART
-Just like Gig, Hades can unleash a laser storm
-Oh ya did I mention his physical strength can was able to destroy a giant mecha made of adamant (Ya know, the same stuff that Wolverine's claws and captain America's Shield is made of) (although to be fair, the mecha was about the size of his fist).
6) Tyrant Overlord Baal (Various NIS games)
Reasons:
-He can unleash a sword storm on Kratos' candy ass
-At his strongest, he has to be killed five times and he can clone himself and create Majins (which we will assume he will not be allowed to do)
-There has yet to be any character that can singlehandedly defeat him, even at his weakest
-He can take on insanely powerful attacks such as Laharl's Meteor Impact and Zetta's Badass Overdrive
6) Bloodedge (BlazBlue)
Reasons:
-His insane stamina allowed him to fight a mult-headed, 50 story tall dark beast whose very existence poisoned the air surrounding it.......for a whole goddamn year (and during that whole year, he didn't eat, drink or sleep which causes another series of problems such as severe exhaustion and a weakened immune system). I don't think Kratos would be going anywhere anytime soon if he had face off against Bloodedge.
7) Palkia (Pokemon)
-Finally back to video game only characters/creatures/whatevers. Palkia is the god of space in the pokemon universe, his very breath expands space and one of his attacks is capable of distorting and even destroying space, effectively destroying Kratos
7) Dialga (Pokemon)
-What the hell is Kratos gonna do against the god of Time? His heartbeat allows for the continuation of time and not too mention he can use his powers over time to speed himself up and slow down Kratos. His roar can also fuck up the flow of time, ya Kratos ain't walking away from this one alive.
8) Giratina (Pokemon)
-Giratina was being born of both Dialga and Palkia's powers and is capable of using spacial and temporal powers to a lesser extent than they can.
-Giratina's Shadow Force would ruin Kratos day so hard, he'd say fuck it and go home a depressed and hopeless man (not that he already is)
9) Arceus (Pokemon)
-He created pokemon universe
-He created Palkia and Dialga (Indirectly creating Giratina) and is capable of using their powers to even greater extents than them
-His light of Judgement would wreck Kratos view of life
10) Oni (Street Fighter)
-When Akuma was at his weakest, he destroyed an island with one punch. Imagine the destructive power that Oni Akuma has.
-Not to mention the Shun Goku Satsu (one of Akuma's most powerful techniques) attacks both the physical body and the soul of his opponent, and it does more damage the more sinful the foe is. In other words, Kratos will be a pile of mush in 5 seconds (that's being generous by the way)
11) Asura (Asura's Wrath)
-In his second to weakest form (Vajra form, where both of his arms fully coated in metal), Asura managed to defeat countless gigantic space monsters (well okay they're actually creatures born of the planets anger, but even so), which might I add were several hundreds times larger and heavier than himself
-in his Six-armed Vajra form, he DESTROYED a being that was twice the size of the planet he lives on by continuously punching it
-Up above you can see his base form, in that form alone he's taken on foes at least 10 times larger and heavier than himself, than there's his Vajra form, than his six-armed vajra form, than his mantra form (which he used to destroy the personification of the planets anger with), and finally his Destructor form (a form in where he is larger than the planet and managed to destroy planets even bigger than this form.)
-Asura=Kratos going to Naraka instead of the Underworld, with no hope escape
-He's climbed out of Naraka more times than Kratos has climbed out of the underworld
12) Seraph Lamington (Disgaea)
-1 word: Armageddon
13) Disgaea Majins
-He can create a black hole that will wreck Kratos so badly
-The Majin's Land Demise attack strikes everything...EVERYTHING. That is to say it can kill friends, foe, and everything in between and as it's name implies it can do serious damage to the land (I.E. it's the equivalent of Super Buu's Genocide Blaster).
14) Valvatorez (Main Story or Tyrant) (Disgaea)
Current Valvatorez:
-Sure Kratos can do damage to him, but Valvatorez has 2 skills that allows him to drain the stamina of his foes to add to his own, so ya this fight could go on for a while except...
-Valvatorez's true form in which unleashes a shockwave powerful enough to destroy the land.
Tyrant Valvatorez:
-ALL of Tyrant Valvatorez's signature skills can absorb Kratos stamina
-Tyrant Valvatorez is 10 times more powerful than regular Valvatorez
15) Sabin (Final Fantasy)
-He suplexed a fucking demon train while it was going full speed at him, a feat that Kratos wishes he could do.
16) Bahamut (Final Fantasy)
-Well be going with the default Bahamut. With that said, Kratos has no means of deflecting Bahamut's country destroying Megaflare.
17) Emperor Mateus (Emperor of Hell or Emperor of Heaven Form)
-Can drain Kratos energy to add to his own with any attack
-Can riddle the battlefield with land mines, air mines, light crest (it's a essentially a floating magical circle that shoots purple energy bolts), lightning crest (if Kratos was somehow dumb enough to step on one, then again he'd also have to deal with a ton of land mines), dynamite (not the same kind of dynamite as the type in real life, but rather he shoots a yellow rasengan that explodes when an enemy touches it), dreary cells (it's where he leaves a little electric dot on the ground if his foes get close to it a group of electrical spheres come up to surround the poor victim and explode), exploding fire balls that stay in place, exploding fire balls that slowly chase his foe
-Starfall, if we assume Kratos can't even get close to him
-Kratos may have defeated various Olympians and Titans, but the emperor conquered both heaven and hell
18) Cloud of Darkness
-Her particle beams in which can take on various forms such as: a moving energy wall, thin energy pillars, shooting energy lasers from the jewel from her forehead, shooting multiple energy spheres, insta-counter energy shield, electrical sparks, and her most powerful attack the Ultra Particle Beam which equates to a evil Kamehameha.
19) Zeromus
-Never mind the fact that he technically can't die in his own universe because he'll always be back so long as hatred exists in the universe but the fact that Kratos can't defeat him unless he's been absolved his past sins, something he'll probably need to beg Seraph Lamington for.
20) Exdeath/Neo-Exdeath
Exdeath:
-Has an unbreakable shield, which can only be counter-acted by attacks in which foes can impose onto him while he's inside the shield
-He can send Kratos to the void to forever wander
Neo-Exdeath:
-First off Kratos in order to effectively fight this guy is he needs something that attack a large area
-Grand Cross which can cause horrible symptoms to befall Kratos such as being turned into a frog, poisoned, shrunken, petrified, so on and so forth
-Anything Exdeath can do Neo-Exdeath can do better
21) Kefka
-Light of Judgement, Ultima, Forsaken Null. Take your pick
22) Sephiroth
-Supernova (in Dissidia this move can actually kill)
-Heartless angel and one slice of his sword right after
23) Terra Branford
-Meteor, Holy, Flare, and Ultima Combo in Trance form
24) Cloud Strife
-Omnislash
25) Jecht
-First off, Jecht is a real man
-Even if we're not gonna let reason one fly, Jecht is such a good blitzball player that he kicks volcanic boulders for fun
-His final Aeon form can punch Kratos out of the earth's atmosphere
26) Augus
-His speed and strength are generally in the same range as six-armed vajra Asura, which is enough send Kratos home crying
-Wailing Dark (his sword) is strong enough and can extend so far that it can go through one end of the planet to the other, which gives Augus the ultimate range advantage
27) Deus
-Sure he is a god of thunder like Zeus, but Deus is far faster and his power is overall far greater than God of War's Olympian King
-Ya if Asura needs help from his close friend to beat this guy while he's six-armed vajra form, than Kratos stands no chance
28) Vlitra
-This creature is the embodiment of all the planet's anger and Asura needed to obtain a new level of strength in order to defeat it, his Mantra Form and still being teamed up with Yasha.
29) Wyzen
-Well maybe his default form might not do the job, but his Vajra form is about the same size as a GoW titan and is physically much more powerful. Really thinking about it, in his default form he was able to kill space monsters well over 100 times his own size with single powerful strikes. Now imagine that power tenfold and you get Vajra Wyzen
-Then there's Gongen Wyzen which is just absolute murder. Also I'd like to clear up something with y'all that keeps bugging me, Atlas does not hold the world on his shoulder, he acts as the pillar which separates the land (Gaia) from the skies (Ouranos). Anyways, what I'm trying to say is that all the titans and Olympians put together can't stop a celestial being that's larger than the planet that they live on.
