BeastMan14's "Brace yourself" edges

Basic Attacks I give a decent edge to Raiden here. Kratos brings range, but Raiden brings power, speed, and generally a lot less hit and miss. Edge: Raiden Special Attacks:


 * Level One: Raiden takes this edge. His attack can be activated a lot less slowly, alongside being a lot harder to dodge. Kratos charges forward with an incredibly obvious to spot attack, yelling out his attack and sweeping the blade in a flashy motion. Raiden, meanwhile, spins forward and uses the range of the attack to his advantage. Edge: Raiden


 * Level Two: Raiden wins this edge easily. Kratos level two has limited range, requiring the opponent to be standing right next to him for it to work, while Raiden slows his foes down, and combined with his enhanced speed, its impossible to dodge. Edge: Raiden


 * Level Three: Raiden is sweeping my edges. His attack renders the enemy entirely helpless until he finds them and kills them, at which point they still aren't safe until the move ends. Kratos's attack could get a confirmed kill, but Raiden's superior speed means he could escape Kratos long enough for the attack to run out. Raiden can avoid Kratos's super, but not vice-versa. Edge: Raiden

Deadliest Fighter: Raiden wins it with ease. I thought it'd be closer, but Raiden has superior attacks, supers, and speed, giving him an easy win here. Not only this, but no matter what arena they're in, Raiden wins. In dojo, there's no room for Kratos to escape any of Raiden's attacks, while Kratos can still miss with his level 1 and level 3. In Hades, only Raiden's level 1 is rendered ineffective, while the large arena gives gives him more room to escape anything Kratos throws at him. So yeah, Raiden sweeps. Score: Raiden: 5 kills

Kratos: 1 kill
