Asura's Wrath is some Gurren Lagann level final boss shit.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
Whats his name from sin and punishment 1 transformed into this gigantic mecha kaiju fusion and literally fights a replica earth, I still have not beat this final boss, but it still amazes me, especially since it was done on the N64

That being the game after the one where she flies across space to a species' home planet and singlehandedly commits almost complete genocide

If you want to debate the actual strongest nintendo character, it has to be between a character from xenoblade, arceus, or rosalina, rosalina LITERALLY REBOOTS MARIO GALAXY MAKING MARIO GALAXY 2 WHICH IS JUST MARIO GALAXY 1 REBOOTED WITH ROSALINA BEING ALL MYSTERIOUS AND GODLY AT THE ENDSamus is the strongest nintendo character no question. She doesn't have anything overly crazy in her arsenal, but she kills everything she meets anyway and destroys their house and all their friends just to rub it in.
Now this is a fight I would pay money to see.
Rosalina controls the entire universe to her will.

Killing or destroying stuff is easy.
Creating things is much more impressive.
In spore you get to create and evolve a life form.

How are people even still discussing xD watch the Asura vs God fight srsly.
I agree, Kratos is one powerful dude, but this GIF is notably terrible at illustrating that. He's struggling to rip the head off. That's not powerful.

A certain commander sacrificed their self for the salvation of all life across the galaxy by choosing their favourite primary colour.
You can counter it, can you not?

This is what I had in mind.
Killing gods is all well and good, but destroying your soulmate and the concept of love itself is much more powerful.
concept of love is more powerful, ok interstellar.
Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne
The Demi-Fiend kills Kagutsuchi, the avatar of the Great Will who controls the cycle of death and rebirth, and in doing so annihilates the entire multiverse and the concept of time itself. Then he leads an army of demons into battle against the Great Will itself.

Yeah, it's hard to deny that the cosmic royal family toys with the universe a little too effortlessly. Half the time the stories amount to 'Oops, I fucked up everything in existence. Fix it before lunch, please."

Is Asuras Wrath coming to Steam?
Pfah, all those posts about beating gods. In Pokémon you can actually catch and enslave the creator of the universe.

Sometimes i wonder if the writers of such stories take themselves seriously.
A much better Kratos example is when the Colossus tries to stand on him and he just chucks it away by its giant foot and it crashes into some buildings/a mountain. Legendary.
But... I thought you couldn't.
It was fucking devastating. Seriously.
Not that powerful if you ask me!
I think this wins the thread tbh.
Objectively, it's not some hugely cosmic show of power. But in terms of the relative strength Chris shows here in comparison to what he's like for the rest of the game, this bit is just absolutely insane. It's totally out of the blue in an otherwise relatively realistic game, protagonist-wise. I laughed heartily at the time, and I still laugh about it.
This. Saying a bunch of esoteric junk about some powerful (yet externally meaningless) beings doing some powerful stuff doesn't really hit home.

Isn't the whole gimmick of that scene that Max has burned herself out on rewinding time and can't do it any more? That's what happened to us. We couldn't rewind time and Kate died.

Mass Effect 3, synthesis ending. Shepard turns everyone in the entire galaxy into cybernetic beings. This includes leaves & hats.
Soul Nomad's MC (Demon Path)
More or less conquers then wipes out everyone on his entire world, devours Gig, attaining power equivalent to a God, then takes on the Gods of the two worlds together at the same time, beats them, and destroys both worlds in the process (with the implication that it destroys existence, since doing so would cause the MC to disappear in the process), just for shits and giggles.

so epic, Asura is God Tier
I like this answer, but
getting blown up by fighter jets
I think the first two examples are pretty much it.
Bayonetta punching a god into the sun.
Asuras fight against the creator of all, Chakravartin. In what becomes a extremely Gurren Lagann-Hen-esque fight. Sure the actual fight itself in terms of gameplay isn't anything remarkable, but the pure emotional weight that is in the fight is palpable to a new level compared to most others. Asuras pure and undiluted wrath against those who would harm the people he loves makes Kratos look fucking mellow.

Basically it hinges on whether you think Asira's deeds are more impressive than those of Shulk in Xenoblade. I'd go with the latter.

I don't think you can top this especially when you are particularly invincible.
ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
Does this count? From FFVIII:
You can summon Eden, a gigantic Garden thing that blasts the enemy into space with hyper speed only to collide with a black hole.
I came to post this. Pretty epic moment
thats' good!

But if you pull the trigger the gun actually launches the bullet. Is the gun responsible for what the bullet hits? Alvis requires someone to command him or he can do nothing, he follows Shulk's will completely.

FF8 had a couple of WTF OP, kinda moments 
Squall shooting that beam of light into space and just smashing it against the planet, Zach running an entire circle around the planet to simply punch an enemy, Quistis creating Black Holes etc etc etc lol.
Asura's Wrath is hilariously ridiculous
This is beyond amazing.
How ridiculous did Katamari ever get? I know you got powerful enough to roll up clouds and volcanoes and such Given a little time the prince could easily start absorbing planets.

That was more of an avatar than Jubileus itself
It wasn't at full power
It seems to be still alive
There are other deities
It's comparable to DMC4
