I've been having an argument with someone over this. I'm totally for Kraken and the other person thinks Meglodon would win. I've even made a spreadsheet showing strength, speed, size, and notable features. We just cant figure it out.

I would say the kraken because it's bigger, has ten arms (each of which are 80 ft. long), can blind the megalodon with ink, and can change colors to camoflage itself.

But if that fucker draws blood, the Megalodon will be able to track it down in an instant...

True. But the ten tentacles could easily kill it.

Yeah, but the Kraken could use it's awesome sinking ability to draw the meglodon into a swirling torrent of icy pain from which there is no escape. Then it could... I dunno eat it or something.

Great news everyone! I'm right and you're wrong! It turns out that that site about the leviathon says that Kraken is just another name for the leviathon. Good luck describing how a measly 80 ft. shark could beat a 3-12 mile long beast!

I get sidetracked easily. I still have half a hovercraft, the opening to bomb shelter, and all the components to a pirate radio station.

Actually, the term Kraken simply means "sea monster of enormous size", though is generally associated with a giant octopus/squid, as you yourself originally believed it to be. The term Leviathan ALSO means any large monster or creature (see wikipedia for both terms). The Leviathan is a Kraken of a snake; the Kraken is a Leviathan of an octopus and the Meglodon is a fucking huge shark. All this taken into account, the Kraken you originally described was of the Cephalapod variety, henceforth, not the typical 12 mile long Leviathan which is a ocean based snake (and henceforth, does not possess tentacles or the ability to shoot ink). It goes without saying that a Leviathan of Biblical proportion could destroy any other living creature on Earth, but this was not the creature you originally referred to.
However, your suggestion that the Kraken could implement the maelstrom (the correct terminology for the whirlpool it unleashes) is a valid one, as the majority of stories about Kraken claim that the beast itself is not a problem, it is the disasterous ocean conditions it creates that proves a problem.

I say, Kraken easily wins the cool-fight.
