Season 41, Week 1
Berle
(Star Ocean: The Second Story)
 
Angelically themed secret societies secretly bent on mass destruction? Berle knows all about that. And that little similarity is just the start of the things Berle knows about Kratos Aurion. He's all too familiar with swordsmen whose attacks go on forever, their strategies dependent on locking their foes into an unending chain of blows. And naturally, he's fully capable of handling that sort of threat. A flurry of small blows isn't going to do all that much against Berle's impressive defenses, and even the most determined assault will be stopped cold by Meta-Guard. Toss in the fact that he also resists Kratos' meager magical backup, and Berle can pick off his foe at leisure, starting this season with a decisive victory.

The revered Archangel of Cruxis is once again ready to show the Godlike competition that his title isn't just for show. Unfortunately, Kratos has yet to impress, having lost his first two matches in Godlike. However, as the saying goes, the third time's a charm. Kratos' skill with both magic and the sword are not to be underestimated. After all, his experience and training span over 4000 years! The Cruxis elite will have no trouble dealing with someone such as Berle. Although Berle might essentially be a tank, Kratos clearly has the advantage, being the faster of the two, not to mention being able to heal regularly. Berle won't be able to stand up to him for long. This one's in the bag for Kratos.

It could be said that Kratos is built to fight tank like opponents. His cruxis crystal affords him an incredible amount of physical strength, lightning fast reflexes, and ridiculous endurance. Due to damage scaling, Kratos doesn't even use neverending locking combos. He strikes hard and fast with the elemental blade techs hurricane thrust, lightning blade, hell pyre, etc. Its all a matter of teleport, unleash a harsh combo attack, retreat, and repeat.
