Where's Poseidon's Rage for Kratos? That shit was BEAST. Spammed it for a 400-hit combo, and that's the first magic Kratos gets in-game.

So...

Short: The Blade of Artemis wins, due to it being a godly weapon. Edge: Kratos.

Mid: The Blades of Chaos win, due to them being Kratos' signature weapons, as well as being literally attached to his arms. They cannot be removed short of amputation, and the axe can be disarmed or just plain maneuvered around. Edge: Kratos.

Long: Zeus' Fury wins. It's Zeus' own lightning bolts fired off at high speeds versus a bow that, as Drayco pointed out, is nothing special for Kratos. The Dovahkiin has faces lightningbolts, but not ones given with divine power behind them.

Special: Kratos wins. Even though the Dragon born has more, the only really useful spells he has are the master-level destruction spells which drain mana quickly and the Dragon Shouts, which are the most over-hyped and underwhelming abilities I've seen. Medusa's Gaze, on the other hand, petrifies near-instantly. Edge: Kratos.

Overall: Kratos has the short, mid, and long-range edge. Armor doesn't matter, and special is a mater of opinion. Kratos is clearly the deadlier warrior in this match-up.

Also, f--k the rotating saw platforming segment in Pandora's Temple. Irritating as all hell.
