BFG is insane, but Rage Mode Kratos is basically impervious so idk
Kratos also beats the equivalent of the biggest demons for breakfast so there's that

I think Kratos wins. Easily.

I... don't see Slayer winning tbh. Granted I've only played Doom 2016, but I know how strong Kratos is and Slayer ain't that strong. Kratos would find a way to block all projectiles, close in and rip him in half. Without spartan rage 🤷‍♂️.

Seeing as Doomguy seems to be constantly on the verge of dying or running out of ammo unless he has a lot of small fodder enemies to kill I'd say Kratos has a advantage in a one on one fight. Eternal era Doomguy doesn't seem very durable either and can't take many hits before going down whereas Kratos can take a lot of punishment.
If you see things through a players perspective, than both Doomguy and Kratos are thin sheets of paper that get ripped apart in their hardest difficulty modes. Canonically, Doomguy and Kratos rip through their enemies, and only become more angry and powerful the more damage they take.

Honestly, why pit them against each other? Doomguy and Kratos vs Asura, now that's one for the books.

Like the biggest titan you meet is way smaller than any of the titans you fought in Doom. The icon of sin is the bigest one and even he is like a puppy standing near an adult human in scale when compared to ones in GoW 3.

Actually that's false.


Demons he kills return to hell, get stitched back together and returned to action. That was established in Doom 4. What revives them is argent energy which is what Doom guy can absorb (and Kratos doesn't use this energy so Doom guy can't absorb his energy ). Kratos can also absorb the energy fd his enemies wether it is argent or anything. That's how he gets multiple power of gods in the games.

Kratos can absolutely move faster if he decides. He got the boots of hermes which is canonical really really godly fast
A bit of give and take, but I don't think this is entirely true, it's stated that the Doom Slayer could

" feast on the blood of the wicked. For he alone could draw strength from his fallen foes, and ever his power grew, swift and unrelenting."

Also, your statements below on Doom Guy are a bit off. He survived hell before being powered by the Seraphim and being turned into the Doom Slayer. Comparing the feats of the two characters like they're the same, strength wise, is disingenuous.

This is the script of the demons describing what they see him doing in hell. It is established in Doom 4 how he gets their strength which is using argent energy. It has nothing to do with killing anything. He absorbs demon strength cause theyy use argent energy to function. Anybody else and he wouldn't gain anything from them.


Also not sure what you mean with my statements. If you mean Doom guy surviving hell before being blessed, which is something he barely managed to do according to the new Doom 64 ending.

Haha I know. But what I meant was that Kratos died and avoided all the torture hell would do to him and got out by force and reived on the spot.

Doom guy meanwhile teleported there as a mortal and hell opened up a door and told him to please leave them alone (which is pretty badass). Everytime he went to hell and back he got out using a portal but meanwhile Kratos got out by forcing his way out from his punishment).

I'd lke to see both in 40k, Doomguy would be a named spacemarine captain level, Kratos a high end primarch.

Kratos not even close, anyone choosing doom guy knows nothing about the god of war franchise or is trolling.

Your reply here clearly shows you are not up-to-date on the Doom franchise. The new game's revelations about "doom guy" is obviously the reason for this thread. You shouldn't accuse others of ignorance when it only exposes your own.

Kratos didn't get out of his own, he was bailed out by someone else both times he died.

Doom Slayer.

I don't think people even realize how OP he is. He never needs to sleep or eat, he absorbs the power/essence of everything he kills, and he cannot be killed.

He's basically Kratos X 100 and is described as literally eternal. Like, he's millions of years old.

Isn't he wolfenstein dudes great grandkid? How could he be that old?

Maybe I should pay more attention to the story.

Edit:I haven't played the new game yet obv

Depends... which character does the writer like best? I mean, both were traditionally power fantasies (and even the far more thoughtful version of Kratos we recently received still has that element associated with his character), so both are as powerful as they need to be.

They spawn on opposite ends of an empty football field, perceive the other person as a threat...Doomguy takes it. I don't think Kratos understands the concept of guns.

You barely scrape by in the first episode. It was established in the code that he is teleported to Deimos with barely any health but enoughh to survive his encounter. He wasn't sent to hell in that one.
IDK where you are getting that, because my recollection is the stinger at the end of ep2 reveals that Deimos is in hell, ie: you died at the end of ep 1

In the first one it was Archimedes who dug a hole for him and in the second one he was revived by Gaia.


Also another question to consider is how would Doom Slayers Crucible Sword fare against Kratos' weapons?
I guess I was wrong on the first one. Although Kratos would probably find another way out like in Chains of Olympus.

Thst said, Gaia didn't help him out. She sent him a vision of a way for revenge but his way out was on his own.

after playing Eternal imma have to say Doomguy, charged through hell and heaven in the space of a day and made it all look easy. Like Kratos has done plenty impressive things but he has like, struggled, sometimes.
Doomguy seems to literally be unstoppable at this point.

Well my info comes from how you you triggerr the ending. The game ends when Doom guy hits 6% health and is teleported to Deimos. The portal Doom guy went to transported him to Deimos which is the dark room he found himself in.

I don't think the fiction presents Doom guy as anything other than human, which means Kratos wins by default. He's an immortal god.

Kratos died multiple times, the Doomslayer not even once. Kratos has to escape hell, Doomslayer goes there to fight there armies.

"Kratos has been to hell and gotten out multiple times!"

Doomguy gets to hell and stays there cause he wants to destroy it entirely. :P
