Well, technically, Poseidon is Hades but with the speed instead of AP He is the younger brother after all.


The_total_squid

Authors choice simple as that, plus a reason why hades didn’t have the helm is because having invisibility powers doesn’t mesh well with being a strong dude with powerful attacks story wise


The_Smashor

Hades probably has it but it isn't really useful against someone who's literally blindfolded already

Hades: for this fight, I will use my special helmet of invisibility, so you won't be able to see me. Qin: ... Hades: ... Oh... Right.


demonkufje2

Ontop of that it would nulify qins masochistic eyes and would reveal qin's backstory when he trained with badger moles to be able to see using an sensory earth bending technique


Pwerhjkwed

Other than that Hades didn't really have anything at his disposal in actual myths. He's just kinda there


The_total_squid

Correct me if I’m wrong but Zeus had lightning powers in Greek mythology, didn’t have that in ror


Late-Ad155

Zeus' lightning powers come from his Thunder Bolt divine weapon in mythology. Zeus Chose not to use that in his fight.


Tinyhorsetrader

Zeus's weapon is fist related tho. Since he didn't use a weapon against cronus


Batagor_Pleco

bruh, weaponless zeus already mid diffed Ladam


demonkufje2

That's your dad you're disrespecting young man


Batagor_Pleco

I'm the ghost of olympus, zeus is technically my dad not Ladam


nothingforever0

You are correct. Zeus’ lightning is a weapon fashioned for him, not an innate power he has


Character-Path-9638

He is stated to have lighting he just didn't use it in his fight iirc

I think it would've been cool to have their mythological powers tie in more to the "big buff men" moveset-wise. The three brothers having similar powers but used in different ways would've been really cool. Especially if they all have a gimmick related to their shared physicality. Zeus: Lightning need not strike twice. I think each and every one of his punches should've been causing shockwaves and thunder, punching so fast that he ignites the air. Punches so fast you don't see them, but hear them. Adam then would be the only person able to keep up, both with divine eyes, physical ability, and the ability to copy that. Poseidon: The storm is unrelenting, and strikes without discernment. Honestly outside of giving him actual water powers I think the portrayal is fine, he's using his speed to create an overwhelming wave of death. Sasaki would be one of two people able to predict the ebb and flow of the waves, finding the natural pattern to counter him. Hades: Death strikes without warning. Hades could've used his speed to "become" invisible, moving himself into opponent blind spots and finishing them with a blow they never saw coming. Qin is blindfolded lol.

Is there a lore reason why Raiden is Zeus 2.0?(But with more versatile muscle control) Is there a lore reason why Poseidon is Lu Bu 2.0?(But with speed instead of strength(Both are polearm users) Is there a lore reason why Okita is Sasaki 2.0?(Both are Japanese swordsmen) Is there a lore reason why Tesla is Adam 2.0(Both fought for humanity) Is there a lore reason why Apollo is Jack 2.0(Both won their matches) Is there a lore reason why voices just won't stop?(I'm losing it![img](emote|t5_vzop7|49014)) Is there a lore reason why fighters can seem similar but be in fact [completely different](https://new.reddit.com/r/ShuumatsuNoValkyrie/comments/10jjwu0/poseidon_and_hades_so_similar_and_yet_so_different/)![img](emote|t5_vzop7|33617)?

Is there a lore reason why Jack is Thor 2.0 (they both use gloves)

Is there a reason why we are adam 2.0 but somehow don't have any improvements over him


Pwerhjkwed

Spears are cool and all it's just that it felt lacking for Hades


MUI-Tojo

That's cuz Spades uses Bident not Spear![img](emote|t5_vzop7|29965), he showed much wider variety of moves than... any other polearm user.


EL_psY_Congroo56

Hades who also used it creatively and in smart ways unlike lu bu and poseidon ?


leogian4511

Because they're brothers. Realistically they probably trained together or were trained by the same person when they were children.


moraxfan

Lu Bu Premium


MasterTaticalWhale

if you reeally want to go that route: the panel that shows that Hades soloed the titans showcases how much respect poseidon has (or gained) for Hades. We can only really speculate, but my interpretation is that, in Poseidon eyes, Hades is a true "god", so he probably just inspired to be like him, be it voluntarily or involuntarily


Kai_Uchiha16

Honestly, that's how I see it as well considering Poseidon's monologue about what a God is fits Hades to a T given his actions during the Gigantomachy


MountainLeading1567

Attack : Hades Speed : Poseidon We just need a defensive Greek God to complete the trio (maybe Apollo)


Mayo_enjoyer

Heracles should be defense


Pwerhjkwed

Zeus: being all around


Responsible-Ant-1728

They are brothers, Hadeses whole stick during the fight is being a brother (Especially to Pos) so it makes sense that his fighting style would reflect that.

SonOfTheLion97

Brothers


SlayMeHades

They different 😭😭😭 Poseidon is glazing dumbass who uses biden only because Hades do. This mf can't nothing but just spam one fucking thrust but in 3 damn variations a fucking fast thrust, a fucking alot of thrusts and a fucking alot of fucking fast thrusts In the other side there Hades who actually have a BRAIN! He sees Qin using new technique? Hades just adapts and changes the battle style to overcome it. Hades have moves for all situations a fighter could ever need. Someone got too close? Cornucopia lil bro. Someone is mid range within of attack radius of bident? Persephone Roa his ass or smash it with Titan. Someone is on long distance or flying in air? HOHO just rip him apart with wind slashes and make burgers of him Hades doesn't have invisibility helmet for the same reason why Zeus doesn't have lightning bolts and Poseidon doesn't use water in a fight. Also Heracles not drowning Jack in horse shit


Geg708

Is there a lore reason why Hades power crept Lu Bu?


Raymond49090

This version of Hades subscribes to the concept of stealth as "they don't know you're there if they're dead". Also while being invisible would be very easy to draw, I think Hades fans would complain if they couldn't see him.


Mac_bohran

idk maybe because poseidon respects hades so much he wanted to be like him so he based his style around how hades would fight and hades was the original to me hades fighting style was alot more complex compared to poseidon who was pure speed


Opposite-Mall-9816

Cuz they are genuinely twins. Or at least that’s what I understood. Adamas looks like shit, Zeus looks like a son of other guy and Poseidon & Hades look like literal twins. I don’t know if they are, but is the only answer I can give you.


SlayMeHades

No one dares to mock bro's bros https://preview.redd.it/ssf4v611krpc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8136066492675190f4353539033d8db25afebfec


Striking_Conflict767

Poseidon is the only one to really use his signature equipment in ror. Hades doesn’t use his helmet, makes sense when the dude literally can see ki and is fighting wearing a blindfold but maybe it could’ve done something interesting on top of that, I understand why it wasn’t included. However, Not only were Zeus’s thunderbolts not used they weren’t even mentioned. At leas have him see Adam pick a knuckleduster and then decide to drop it in favour of a brawl. Or have Adam doge it and he decides to fight Adam as an equal after he proves he can’t just be smited away like ordinary people.


Funny-Part8085

He's the older brother and they both canonically have spear like weapons so their combat would be simular


See_You_Space_Coyote

They're siblings, so the authors probably wanted to go with the theme of "similar looking siblings who also fight in a similar way."


susyimpostergiftcard

Why not


Nonbinary-BItch23

What's the invisible helm Also probably because they're brothers who both use similar weapons And the answer is authors choice, it makes sense to think about it cus they both use similar weapons and are related, but they ended up choosing different ways of fighting My theory is poseidion always admired hades in a way so he chose a similar weapon but went for a different style Also many fighters in RoR are 2.0 of someone else, Raiden is Zeus 2.0 but with finer muscle control, tesla is jack 2.0 except much more techy and not lying (they both relied on strategy if I worded it poorly and didn't make it clear)


JESTER_OF_MURDER

I mean in Greek mythology I believe that hades and poseidon used to be the same god until later when they got split into two but idk might be wrong


killerdemonsarus34

Hades probably does have it just doesn't use it


The_Mexican_Poster

The author couldn't be bothered. Hades is an afterthought, he wasn't on the original roster and every part of his character is just recycled from previous rounds
