While Geralt spends days hunting down a single monster and then often has to prep to even be able to win, Kratos can tear through three of the same monsters in minutes. There's no contest here.

Kratos vs. Geralt....who wins in a fight
- Thread starter ThousandEyes
- Start date
I like this answer because it's more of a "Could Batman beat Goku with a week's prep?" and not "Who would win: Batman or Goku?"
I think you genuinely illustrate a rare but possible situation in which Geralt could win, which is impressive because before I thought there was no way in hell.
I came in on page 5 and just wanted to see if everyone here played GoW3
In that, it's said that the Titans fighting was what created the universe. Not the realm, the universe.
That has to factor in the Kratos vs Dante discussion. I mean, i love Dante, but I'm of the opinion that Kratos would win because of experience, strength of past opposition, and pure willpower.

I think Asura would body Kratos pretty hard
Probably some JRPG villains too but I dont play those so idk
You're not serious are you? I think Dante may be the only Video Game Protag that could stand a chance against Kratos.....Poor Gearlt with his bad gameplay mechanics.
Are we counting Jrpgs? I mean, he average post game FF party kill galactic gods/entities easily.
And if we count more niche titles like Disgaea (which is DBZ levels of power)... I don't think Kratos would be in a top 100.
I wasn't thinking of JRPGs, but was just thinking of action games. But if we include JRPGs, then I don't think Kratos would make the top 10, though I think he would still make the top 50.
Yeah talking about Action Games Kratos is one of the best. And I think when the new trilogy(?) is finished he will be even stronger. Bet he will be in top 5.
Kratos would barely need to fight and could win this easily. Like... in the opening fight of GoW he pulls a tree out of the ground and home runs a motherfucker with it.
Geralt is just like... woefully, horribly outclassed here.

Demonbane would body both tho, with rest of their universes at the same time.
Fuck, a full sized Demonbane wouldn't even make it a fight. I don't think Kratos or Kirby can even look at something so large and be able to comprehend it. Remember... so large, it ascended beyond multiverse... imagine being bigger than infinite universes stacked together.
I'll tell which one is more fun to play and is more interesting....Geralt.....precisely because he is not as powerful.
Honestly We need to establish a rule, where, unless character you propose can destroy at least a couple universes just by turning their shoulder a little too fast, tehy don't belong anywhere near top50 strongest characters in video games, let alone top 10 or top 5. Like come on, the actual scale is so incomprehensibly above norse or olympian gods powerlevel, they don't belong in top 100.
The two of them would need to battle in neutral territory for this to be a contest.
I'm speaking, of course, of the board game Mousetrap.
And Geralt would fucking own Kratos there, because Kratos would get so goddamn frustrated trying to set the goddamn thing up he'd just snap and murder the board game and Geralt, which is very much against the rules.
Geralt wins via rules.

I will give witcher 3 the story and overall world being more interesting. But seriously Geralt being more fun to play with those controls and combat mechanics is highly questionable and arguable vs 2018 God of War.
I completely agree. They are just meddling in an insanely powerful comparison by throwing anime ridiculously ultimately no limit whatever things in this
(Not my point, but yeah, from a pure gameplay perspective, yes, this is correct).
But the question really isn't about from a pure gameplay perspective, is it? There is nothing Kratos does that is somehow greater than Geralt really. Its just that the game asks the player to take down a god rather than a vampire.
He pushes a bridge that weights as much as multiple skyrscrapers with his bare hands? I'd say that counts as greater than anything Geralt did. Like you can argue comparative scale of enemies they fight is not that different outside of informed attributes, but that bridge I'd say is impossibly large even on intuitive level.
I know what you are saying. Im just saying from an overall gameplay perspective, the two aren't that different. (As in many other characters).
The better question is whether Ciri is more powerful than Kratos. Or is Kirby more powerful than Kratos.
Ultimately, the question is pure fiction because the works they come from is fiction. Its just fun fodder to discuss on the internet.
Nah plenty of Final Fantasy protagonist kill Kratos like nothing
Geralt gets beat up by regular humans on the street. Not even sure how this thread makes any sense to make. Kratos kills Gods and Titans, even in his old age. It's not fair to compare at all.
One on One? How many FF Protags have actually Solo'd Gods before? Multiple ones at that?
A good amount of them?
Kratos tops out at Continent level of strength and destructive capability, durability and sub relativistic in speed.
Noctis one of the weaker ends of protags: Multi-Continent to life wiper with durability in the same range and can match Kratos's speed along with having much better tools thanks to his ring including Diminsinal BFR, Intangability, etc.
Squall: Galaxy level destructive capability and durability along with massively faster then light along with better tools including pretty good time manipulation.
Cloud: Solar System levels of destruction and durability again massively faster then light and tools like: Super strength, speed, durability, magic, master swordsman, summoning, flight and levitation, potentially possesses the likes of elemental manipulation (of the fire, lightning, ice, water, wind, and earth variety), healing and regeneration (mid-low), poison manipulation (in the form of Bad Breath and Bio), time manipulation (in the forms of Haste, Slow, and Stop), barrier creation (in the form of Barrier, Big Guard, MBarrier, Reflect, Shield, and Wall), shapeshifting (in the form of Bad Breath, Frog Song, Mini, and Toad), petrification (in the form of Break), absorption (in the form of Magic Hammer), gravity manipulation (in the form of Demi and Laser), soul manipulation (in the form of Death), energy blasts (in the form of Flare, Matra Magic, Shadow Flare, and Ultima), telekinesis (in the form of Comet), mind manipulation (in the form of Berserk and Confuse), teleportation (in the form of the Escape and Remove), able to induce silence, able to induce sleep.
Tidus: Moon level durability and destructive power along with being able to move faster then light
Kirby has the potential to beat Demonbane since he has unlimited potential. So it really depends on how broken Nintendo wants to make him. They are going full dive into the Kirby Lore its pretty crazy. The new Return to Dreamland Lore Guide now makes Kirby a multi-universal threat.
Wow and I thought this thread couldn't get more insane and entertaining.
Cloud Noctis and stuff solar system, galaaxy. XD
NVM..
Should you ever bring a character into a "what if" fight whose entire writing is literally the "infinity + 2" everyone used to say a kid when they lost to someone who said infinity?
Depends. If it's demonbane, yes. Cuz Demonbane is so awfully stupid, I find it funny.
Is this a parody post? I could never tell with this forum. I feel like I should go buy some rare Yugioh cards or something after reading this.
Beating gods doesn't mean a thing if those gods have no quantifiable feats in the first place. Bhunivelze and Lightning from FF Lightning Returns would trash anything in God of War.
Everything is canon and are feats in the main game.
Could make Noctis even stronger depending on the canon of NT would put him and Cloud universal
There's also only 1 conclusion Geralt would come to with prep time too and it'd be not to fight him at all. Like he does with higher Vampires, because they are just a too powerful for a single Witcher and unkillable by them on top.
Really? Doom Guy can out run lasers now?
And running as fast as a car means nothing because most of Master Chief's weapons are so much faster.
No, but Kratos certainly doesn't have any speed feats comparable to fighting an actual lightning god.Can Dante do this though..
No, it isn't. It's literally to vague to calculate. It might sound cool and all, and even gives him some really good determination and endurance. But it's Greek Mythology. There are tons of people who've escaped the afterlife in badass ways.
So what if Dante beat Mundus? That doesn't mean Mundus can't create a universe. If anything, Dante beating him shows that Dante is stronger than universe making.
But that's just assuming that universe making power scales to Mundus' offensive powers.
Kratos has absolutely no smarts if we go by any game in the God of War series. If anything, he's an idiot.
1. That's Doom Slayer.
2. This is what I mean by using hype to compare characters. Yes, Doom Slayer can beat demons and might even kill gods. But the fact that these demons and gods can be beat by someone with a shotgun shows they're actually quite weak, even comparable to the Covenant.
Lol no, Hermes was not even close to the speed of light. He got hit by a catapult once if I remember correctly.
It's pretty much just a copy paste from Vs. Battles Wiki.
Most of which use hype to compare characters. For example, Cloud being Solar System Level makes no sense, because he was visibly struggling against something like Bahamut Sin, which at most is Planet Level.
This sentence confuses me. Do you mean he doesn't have speed feats beyond those he had while fighting a lightning god? Because he's done that quite a bit. He can dodge and parry lightning, not to mention he killed Zeus, an actual lightning god.
It's a running theme of his character, with it happening at least three times in the original games, if not more. It actually got to the point that he's done it in other afterlives as well. He willingly entered and fought out of Hel twice in the same day. "Repeatedly fought his way out of afterlives" is an incalculable feat, for certain, but it is a feat.
The tricky part is determining how it'd factor in to his ability to recover in a fight were he to be killed. He wasn't dead either time he went to Hel, but its rules still affected him (which is why he had to bring the Blades of Chaos, a foreign element that didn't play by the rules of Hel). If he died in the north, would he go to Hel, or Hades? Does Hades still exist after he destroyed Olympus? Probably not.
Yeah, but what about Superman?
