Kratos vs Asura is the physical representation of everything wrong with battleboarding today.
On one side we have Asura, a fighter who in their first notable fight they defeat someone visibly destroying planets on screen. The entire game has planet and above level feats shown on screen and the final boss has visible galaxy level feats. On the other side we have a fighters whose franchises scale never even leaves earth. He is shown on multiple occasions in game to struggle with feats mountain level or less. Yet people will claim he is universal multiversal, outerversal, and beyond due to bad dimensional tiering that is contradicted by in game feats, the actual narrative, and the writers themselves. The GOW writers flat out said outerversal kratos is wrong, and all the mythological realms are the same size as their irl country and exist in the same planet
Why are actually concrete feats being ignored in favor of wonky dimensional tiering, especially when its contradictory. In my book the moment dimensional tiering breaks the narrative and is contradicted by physical feats without an explanation that dimensional tiering is obviously wrong and should not be used to scale a character. Yet here we are in the modern vs battle wiki days where everyone gets wanked to outerversal for stupid reasons that contradict the narrative. Battle boarding has become a joke.
I'm near certain Kratos is gonna get wanked as hard as possible to force him to win against Asura and its completely undeserved.
