Kratos pros and cons

[PKM TheFury]

Cau guys tell me what is his weakness and strongness?

I don't think anyone really has much Kratos experience at a high level since hes banned from tournaments but from what Ive seen from fighting random online scrubs and the computer he's extremely slow and seems like most of his moves are pretty unsafe. His parry seems pretty decent though.

I am no high-level player by any means, but I am one that cares about Kratos and has taken the time to improve with him.

Pros:
+Crazy high-damage output. Capable of damage ranges from 38 to 70% midscreen.
+Can deal 40% from a successful AA.
+Golden Fleece is the best parry in the PS3 game. Can parry projectiles and melee attacks, like Smoke's EX Shake. Ranged parry launches an unblockable projectile, melee parry is dash-cancelable into any of Kratos' combos.
+Apollo's Bow does 12% damage; same as an uppercut. It is also unpunishable at point-blank.
+Head of Helios can work as a reset during a juggle combo.
+Enhanced Hermes Dash grants Kratos a Flash Parry, similar to Kabal and Rain.
+Zeus' Rage has a ridiculous, long-reaching hitbox.
+Kratos vs Kabal is a 5-5 matchup.

Cons:
-Very slow attacks and specials compared to most of the roster. This is Kratos' second-biggest downfall.
-Slow speed renders a heavy rushdown playstyle an unwise idea.
-Most of Kratos' attacks and specials are quite unsafe on block.
-Golden Fleece cannot parry pokes and most low-hitting attacks.
-Bad pokes.
-Higher learning-curve than most of the roster.
-Kratos is banned in all tournaments, due to being a PS3-exclusive fighter. This is his biggest downfall.
-Kratos vs Kenshi MU is probably a 2-8.
