>>149029072The match up isn't hard to understand. They're both, or rather, were both angry, mindless rage monsters that were betrayed by the gods and seeking revenge, both of which gain power from their anger to fight harder.
The problem with the matchup is that Asura is blatantly leagues more powerful than Kratos and you'd have to bend over backwards multiple times to even get them in the same league, much less have Kratos win. Like, Kratos is a guy with zero speed feats, surely there's no way to argue that he can move at even supersonic speeds.
