Death Battle: Who Would Win and Why?

Kratos versus Sephiroth

Now, to be clear, since there are several iterations and ability sets of either, this would be Mortal Kombat Kratos versus DDFF Sephiroth. Both have strengths and weaknesses that would most certainly make this a dynamic match.

Who do I think would win? Kratos, if barely. Sephiroth would drop Kratos to his knees and then get cocky, and then Kratos would find a burst of adrenaline and whittle Sephiroth's strength down to next to nothing, before yeeting him off with an uppercut into the ocean below. But what do you think?
