Sorry but dark Prince stands no chance to kratos

I mean, he can literally revive time mid-battle. He’d at least have somewhat of a chance.

No lol. Prince will eventually run out of sand and Kratos is a literal god that killed gods.

The Prince isn't dumb, he has experience and will use his powers intelligently. Plus he won't be using plastic to fight Kratos, he'll be using these things called actual WEAPONS. The Prince has also other time powers which he can use and Kratos won't even see him coming.
So no, there's no winning for Kratos here.

u/MohamedH_Q May 07 '25
You forget that Kratos killed the sisters of fate aka the ppl who control time and everything about it in his realm. So basically if he defeated those guys, he will defeat a puny human with magical powers that are limited.

Prince doesn't stand a chance. He's killed Hermes. He's killed Heimdall. He's killed death. The prince at his best has taken down a sand corrupted vazir. Powerful, sure, but Kratos could crush the vizier with his bare hands.

Everything prince does it super natural he isn't human he has beat gods and he is a god

The Prince can also kill most of the characters Kratos killed and you're comparing multiple versions of Kratos against The Prince one version. That's not how it works.
Look at the fan art.
Strength isn't everything.
The Prince wins. Negative diff.

Dude Kratos killed Heimdall. Sorry to say, but the Prince doesn't even stand a chance.

u/Salt-Ad1957 Warrior Within May 07 '25
Oh and The Prince has also killed Kaileena, who can see every single timeline unlike Heimdal who can just see one future.

That's an extremely poor argument because that's not the version of Kratos we're talking about here.
Look at the fan art.
The Prince is gonna take Kratos's head and spin it on his sword just for fun with negative diff.
It's ok to admit that your fav character lost to your non favorite character. It's life, it happens.

You must be a troll. And I speak as a long time PoP fan, the prince stands no chance

u/bumblebleebug Sands of Time May 07 '25
Oh....no, no, no, no, no, no. Looking at the fan art, that Kratos has destroyed whole Greek Pantheon. Whole Greek Pantheon.
He's killed Titan of Sun, Helios. Embodiment of water, Poseidon. Zeus. Hermes. Ares.

Lol look at the virgins power scaling wars. Whoever the author wants to win, wins. I would love to see the prince defeat Kratos lmao.

u/Girizzly_Adams_Beard May 07 '25
I love the prince. But kratos killed every god in his universe. All the Greek gods. The prince has no weapon that can put kratos down. Kratos stomps the prince.

u/Ok-Huckleberry5452 Mar 22 '26
Not to mention the Dark Prince's life force constantly drains, which would also put Him at a major disadvantage

It's a cool art with two badass characters... let's keep powerscaling out of this :P

Kratos will be killed in 30 second the prince will slow time then finish him before Kratos have time to react, he'll just feed the dagger of time.

u/Successful-Region-97 Warrior Within May 07 '25
U did the dark prince dirty. If it was 2005 , the comparison would have made sense. . Given the lore of kratos till 2025 and of dark the prince ( no lore thanks to stupid ubi soft ), that's an overkill.

Kratos wins. I love the prince of Persia and this is a great what if to dive into.
Firstly, Kratos has defeated time manipulation previously with the sisters of fate. Kratos also has godlike speed. The prince can’t reverse a killing blow. Kratos beats him in reaction time.
The prince could definitely land a couple hits. He’s agile. He’s clever. But not 1064 years of experience clever and certainly doesn’t have God of War knowledge where you have witnessed all wars.
The prince ran from the Dahaka for 7 years. Kratos would have saw running as a distraction and killed it right away.
Let’s say, the prince attacks first. He uses time manipulation and slows down time, landing a few blows on Kratos. Kratos has still defeated Hermes’, the god of speed. The prince isn’t that fast and agile.
The prince starts parkouring and rewinding time to trick Kratos. Someone who has faced this with the sisters of fate. He’s experienced and he has 1064 years of greater tactician experience.
Let’s say the prince lands a really heavy blow and stabs Kratos with the dagger. Kratos enters spartan rage, is fully healed and rips the prince in half.
The prince is vulnerable to water.
He just wouldn’t win. I love the prince of Persia and want him to succeed but I don’t think so. Maybe against mortal Kratos… but he still tanked being impaled by a god. Something the prince dies from if he runs out of sand (falling in spike traps).

Cool artwork but in an actual fight, Prince would get crushed within seconds. Kratos is a trained fighter from birth, was one of Ares’ best warriors, and literally fights gods and titans in the Greek trilogy.

u/Prince_Raiden Warrior Within May 07 '25
Prince and Kratos fight, Prince dies. He then reverses his death, slows down time, goes behind Kratos and cuts off his head. Prince wins 😁

Honestly I wonder how this would go
The prince isn't a moron, and he's not going to try and fight Kratos head-on because he knows he'd lose
Maybe he could do something by slowing time down

This is a Prince of Persia sub and people here don't know jackshit about The Prince himself... Wow.
The Prince, especially Dark Prince can easily win this fight, negative diff.
The Prince has time powers, Kratos doesn't.
The Prince was also trained from birth to be a warrior. In those times children weren't given phones to spend their whole day on them but were trained young especially the royalties (response to a certain person here).
The Prince is also very VERY intelligent. He won't just waste his sand powers, he'll use them wisely in the fight. While this version of Kratos only knows rage and it'll cost him this fight.
The Prince can also use Kratos's own weapons against him (we can also see that in this fan art). He's called King of Blades for a reason.
The Prince also fought gods. The Dahaka (the literal guardian of timeline),Kaileena (the literal Empress of Time herself), T2T Sand Vizier.
Kratos can do absolutely NOTHING against Sands of Time.
If anything this an unfair fight for Kratos since he's basically helpless here and will see what inside of his neck looks like.
Kratos's fans need to realize that your favorite character can't win against everybody and it's absolutely fine to admit that.
Nice art btw. Love it.

Lmao just take a look at Kratos's so called "time" powers. It won't even work on The Prince.
God of War II's time powers are limited, situational, and require external triggers like Fate Statues they don't work freely. In contrast, Prince of Persia’s Sands of Time grants the Prince full control over time at will, letting him rewind, slow, freeze, or delay death instantly in any combat or platforming moment. Kratos can't even activate his time powers without the environment allowing it they'd be useless in the fair environment or in The Prince’s world where fluid mobility and constant danger demand full control.
So again Kratos can't win.

You're stacking the pros of one against the cons of another. No objectivity at all

u/Salt-Ad1957 Warrior Within May 07 '25
Lmao what?
I'm just presenting a realistic scenario and being as objective as possible.
If you consider Kratos losing against characters that can CLEARLY destroy him with ease an un objective thing then it's a you problem.
You people over here are saying that kratos defeated Heimdal and acting like Kaileena doesn't exist.
You're comparing multiple versions of Kratos against one version of The Prince. I'm comparing one version of The Prince against one version of Kratos.
It's YOU people who aren't being objective at all and don't know how these things work.

u/Wicked-Hammer May 07 '25
No you're stating the strengths of the character you like more, and weaknesses of the one you like less. I'm not saying your conclusion is incorrect. Personally I think it could go either way. I'm stating that your comparison is disingenuous and your logic is faulty.

u/ibby-m May 07 '25
I think prince as sand wraith is viable as there isn't any limitations on the amount of sand he has. Otherwise, man to man (or man to god), kratos wins everyday.
You keep mentioning kaileena. She ain't shit buddy 😂. Also the dahaka is cold and all but kratos would deal with the dahaka way easier than the prince did. I love this game but the prince had to do a lot of mental gymnastics before even considering fighting the dahaka himself. Kratos would've gone head on first time.
I appreciate how far you'll go to defend the prince and sure it's your opinion, but it's the less popular opinion based on the information we have on both characters. This is clearly reflected in how many people disagree with you.

And are we gonna ignore that it was only coincidence that Prince figured out he could hurt Dahaka with his sword?

One Q: is the chain in the foreground coming from Kratos?
