God of War 2 was developed by SCEA Santa Monica Studios where a number of oldschool Street Fighter players worked as designers and animators. It shouldn’t surprise anyone that many of these Kratos combos look like they came straight out of a fighting game.
highlights:
GoW2 Kratos projectile madness combo at 1:23, throw tech trap combo at 2:56, petrify parry reflect combo at 4:07, and time-warped crumbling pillars sequence at 4:14
