Filthy Casuals with Tommy Dassalo and Ben Vernel
Episode 368: God of War Ragnarok, Sonic Frontiers
Sonic vs. Kratos in a one-on-one fight. Who wins? Now their main advantages are of course speed and strength respectively. Sonic has beaten many foes far more powerful than him, including something of a "god" in Chaos (Sonic Adventure 1, 1999). He utilised his Super Sonic ability, which is another of his advantageous traits. However, it could be argued that this is matched in Kratos' Spartan Rage, and Kratos has also defeated speedy foes before, felling Hermes during his assault on Olympus (God of War 3, 2010). The stage is set then, for quite the battle. Strength versus speed. Power versus agility. Force versus fast. Two titans of combat, evenly matched, it is impossible to know for sure who would win. Unless the battle is over which one has good games.
