User blog comment:Thundrtri/PSASBR Mini-Series round 1! Kratos VS Raiden/@comment-24180428-20130425163050

I vote for Kratos. Kratos may be slower and have a worse jump height then Raiden, but he has a far greater range allowing him to safely build up meter. Kratos' ability to control range will be essential here, he is able to choose when to go up close for combos or to simply spam the bow. His x-factor average is higher, his attacks have a greater reach, and his more useful super moves give him the win here.
