Sephiroth

vs.

Weiss
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cZdWz35ebw

Who wins?

Weiss looks like a rip off of Sephiroth

Sephiroth he's faster, more skilled judging by what i have seen of Weiss, and his magic capabilities are vastly superior

Bump

Sephiroth most likely.

Yeah Sephiroth wins this. Maybe Weiss versus Genesis or Angeith.

Sephiroth wins in a curbstomp

Okay, what about Sephiroth VS Chaos Vinny & Wiess.

Merely asking before starting a thread on it. Might not be worth it after all

That'd be a good fight.

It would indeed..

Sephiroth would win, as he fought Genesis.

Seph is directly stated to be the strongest FF7 character, tho Weiss will put up a fight.

It depends on which versions we're talking about. Base Weiss and Pre Nibelheim Sephiroth are about even, with Sephiroth being slightly stronger and Weiss being a tad faster. I would be a very, very close battle in which either could win.

It has been said of Advent Children Sephiroth that nothing is stronger than him, but Omega Weiss is around his level, and while AC Sephiroth would have the edge Omega Weiss could still win.

Wait... Wait a minute. "It has been said of Advent Children Sephiroth that nothing is stronger than him", and you have to stop right there. Because it was never stated Omega Weiss is equal to AC Sephiroth.


But why we are talking about FFVII Sephiroth? It was his KH version in the video.

Care to point out where I said Omega Weiss is equal to AC Sephiroth? I said Base Weiss is about equal to Pre Nibelheim Sephiroth.

Then I said that Omega Weiss is on the same tier as AC Sephiroth, though AC Sephiroth is probably stronger. Though there is a slight possibility OW is equal to ACS, because the quote only says no one is stronger, not no one is equal to him. I still think AC Seph has the edge though.



I figured that we were talking about FFVII Sephiroth because he is the one that exists in the same universe as Weiss, and that the OP just posted that particular vid because he liked it more than any FFVII/compilation Sephiroth vid.

Its a more epic battle any how, the best of SOLDIER against Deepground's finest.

That make Weiss seem god like in speed but keep in mind Sephiroth was stated to beable to teleport and be faster than light (the advent children fight was severly slowed down for our comprehension) Weiss puts up a good fight being with Omega, but he wouldnt beat sephiroth nor would chaos vincent with omega weiss

Weiss is faster than Sephiroth. If AC was slowed down for us then why does Loz still teleport around?

Look at this video, while Sephiroth can teleport, Weiss in his base form moves fast enough to fight Bloodburst Rosso(who is faster than normal Rosso, and normal Rosso is constantly teleporting around), and Arch Azul, one of the strongest things on the planet. He not only beats them, he does it effortlessly only using one hand.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QfjkzLK3Cw

He uses less effort in this fight than Sephiroth uses in his fight with Genesis in Crisis Core, and Rosso is faster than Genesis, and Azul is stronger than him. Base Weiss is equal with Pre Nibelheim Sephiroth.

Then consider that Omega Weiss has the power of nearly all the lifestream in him, he is quite a powerful opponent, and ould be one hell of a match for AC Sephiroth.

How you know Omega Weiss has the power of nearly all the lifestream in him? From all we know, Omega could have been using Weiss' body as a mechanism of defense to protect itself from Chaos Vincent. And a mere mechanism of defense wouldn't have all the power of Omega.

The only things on Omega that are "mere defense mechanisms" are the flying geometric things that die with one shot. Omega Weiss was at the core of Omega, drawing strength from all of Omega.

That's speculation. We don't have a clear explanation about Omega Weiss in the game.

If it was Weiss, then why he would fight Vincent? Weiss didn't know him. Why he would draw power from Omega, if he didn't even know what Omega is, or what she/it can do?

If you think it was Weiss using Omega, the entire fight don't make any sense. But if you believe it was Omega using his body as a mechanism of defense to stop Chaos Vincent from destroying her/it, then everything makes sense.

Omega was using Weiss. The thing is that Omega used him as the ultimate offensive weapon. Omega had no reason to not give its power to its last resort at fighting off Chaos.

The fact is though, that if Omega Weiss fought with AC Sephiroth of his own will and not just a tool of Omega, that he stands a pretty good chance of winning.

He'd put up a good fight but not have a chance of winning.... Omega is a planetary force similar to chaos but better, i dont think Omega was "using" weiss any more than Chaos with vincent. After all, isnt omega purely instintual and with weiss, gives a more refined form of control

How does Weiss, with all his original power and skill, then charged up by the power of all the lifestream, not have a chance of winning?



Vincent had the proto materia, thats how he kept Chaos in control. When Nero merged with Weiss after you defeat Weiss empowered, it kicked Hojo out, and then Omega took over his body because it was now just an uncontrolled body connected to Omega.

IMO the fact that Sephiroth have controll over all the Lifestream too, AND all the abilities of Jenova, makes him better than Omega Weiss.

I think he wins.

What are you talking about? Sephiroth only has control over his negative lifestream, not the whole thing. He can only control the spirit energy of thos killed by Geostigma.

We know the Lifestream is the source of power in FFVII. By what you said, Weiss is more powerful, because he has controll over "all" of it, and Seph don't. But there is nothing above Sephiroth, so how that works?
Simple, Seph has controll over all the Lifestream too. He probably used his Negative one to directly corrupt the pure one. This is why it was so powerful that it could "transform the planet in a vessel".

Control over the lifestream isn't the only way to be powerful. Fighting prowess and raw strength have a lot to do with it.



Nope, Sephiroth only controls the negative lifestream. Think about it, if he controlled all the lifestream already, he wouldn't need to corrupt it with geostigma, because he would already be able to make it bend to his will. Also, the creators said that he only controls the negative lifestream.

Weiss does not have control over all of the life stream, what an absurd statement.

Have you ever even played Dirge? Omega's entire purpose is to suck up all the lifestream, therefore Omega Weiss is being powered by all the lifestream, its simple fact.

What's absurd is people arguing in ignorance of the compilation.

Yes, control over the Lifestream is the only way to be really powerful.

Everything in FFVII is connected with the Lifestream, and that includes physical strength and speed. This is why Weiss was so fast(in his fight against Chaos Vincent) and so strong(blocking bullets with his arms) after merging with it. And it's one of the reasons why SOLDIERs are so strong and fast.
And IIRC, some of the Limit Breaks are caused by a burst of adrenaline, where the person can use his/her spirit energy(the "Lifestream" that everyone have inside themselves, like Vincent explained in AC) to boost his/her abilities.

Everything in FFVII is connected to spirit energy and the Lifestream. It's the source of life, for god's sake! It's impossible to be as strong and/or fast as someone who have controll over all of it.

And it's pretty obvious Sephiroth have controll over "all" the Lifestream(or most of it, because Aerith was still there). There is nothing above him, and that includes Minerva, the living will of the planet. Or you will say now, that the consciousness of Gaia don't have control over the Lifestream?


This is why he can control "all" of it. And IMO, power of the Lifestream, and power of Jenova, give the victory to him.

Note: Weiss DIDN'T have control over all the Lifestream, because Omega was formed of only PURE spirit energy. Stagnant spirit energy is part of the Lifestream too.
And don't tell me she/it has stagnant energy, because of Nero's fusion with Weiss. Nero's stagnance is probably a fraction of all the stagnant spirit energy in the world.

If he sucked up all the lifestream the planet would die you fool.

He planet would die if he sucked up more than 10% of it after what Shinra done.

You are the ignorant one, forgetting the basic plot details on FF7, and you can yourself a fan tsk tsk tsk.....

Sephiroth certain has absorbed alot more of the lifestream, but the amount his control is limited IMO

You really don't know what you're talking about. Jenova cells are what gave Sephiroth his extreme powers, not the lifestream. In the beginning Sephiroth was powerful because he is the perfect hybrid of Jenova and human, not because of anything to do with mako, play Crisis Core. In FF VII he planned to become a god by merging with the lifestream, but he never managed to fully do it. In AC Sephiroth is powerful because he has no human weakness left in him, he is made up entirely of Jenova matter. Jenova cells are also injected into SOLDIERs to give them enhanced strength and regeneration.

The lifestream isn't the only way to become powerful, there is also Jenova cells, stagnant mako, having your own DNA infused with a powerful beass(Azul was given behemoth DNA), etc.

And once again, according to the creators themselves, Sephiroth only controls the negative lifestream, he has no control whatsoever on the regular lifestream.

Wrong again. Maybe if you actually played Dirge you would understand this. The whole reason they did not want Omega o show up was because Omega woas going to leave with all the lifestream, thus letting the planet die off. Omega's only purpose is to absorb the entirity of the lifestream, and that's what it did.

Please, don't argue unless you know what you're talking about.

Vincent stops it before he sucks up loads, if it had sucked up the lifestream, this would happen..... (0:08 - 0:03)

zRyKqG7YYZE

No, Omega took off because it had sucked up enormous quantities of lifestream. It would not leave the planet without accomplishing its goal, Vincent stopped it from getting away with all the lifestream.

If it didn't take very much as you seem to think, why was everyone concerned when it took off, and why did Vincent need to stop it? The answer, because it took the lifestream.

Fascist, the Lifestream is not the only source of power in FFVII, BUT is the ultimate one, because is connected with EVERYTHING. This is just a fact.

Control over the Lifestream = ultimate power, this is another fact. And Sephiroth have the ultimate power(AKA, control over the Lifestream) because nothing is above him. deal with it.

And yes, the creators said he can only control the Negative Lifestream. But in the end of AC, Seph already "transformed" most of the Lifestream in the planet, in Negative Lifestream. This is why nothing is above him, and it's why he can use it to kill the planet and travel the universe.

Ah, and stop being a troll, okay? Bashing and insulting others will not help your argument.

Nothing is greater than Sephiroth =/= he is in control of the entire lifestream. The creators even said he wasn't, deal with it.



Geostigma did not kill more than half the planet, it hadn't even been around that long in AC. There is literally nothing usggesting that most of the lifestream was negative in AC. If it were, Sephiroth could have just fulfilled his plan and killed off the planet right then.

You have no base for your theories, please only argue with the facts, not silly things that only exist in your head.



Isn't hypocrisy fun? Before you edited your post there was an insult directed towards me where this was.

So he decided to take it back, realizing that it was wrong to insult so in actuality he's not a hypocrite. But why insult, I don't want to have to report this sweet topic.

Omega weapon is OVERATED, each WEAPON in FFVII had a purpose to defend, omega's purpose was "evacuation" to take the lifestream and set off to space to avoid a huge calamity, of course weiss will become strong joining with omega weapon, but he did not have the whole lifestream under his control.

It has been stated that there is nothing above Sephiroth, base weiss would still lose to pre-nibelheim Sephiroth, and probably lose to Genesis and Angeal too, Sephiroth was known as the strongest SOLDIER and the original, he did not have any of the injections like the other SOLDIERs, he was born with it, Weiss is just a wannabe, and he would never become another Sephiroth.

That is beyond question.

Also, guys, how about some actual quotes? The quote saying Seph only had control over the Negative Lifestream be nice to finally shut down SHM's theories on Seph controlling most of the Lifestream once and for all.

geez i dunno, sounds like work ^^'

fine fine fine

Interveiw *Q: What were those dark clouds that Sephiroth called forth before his battle with Cloud began? Some of them even had tendrils.
*A: It was something of a negative Lifestream, composed of the Spirit Energy of those who had died with Geostigma. Their Spirit Energy became corrupted by the influence of JENOVA's Cells and was, thus, under Sephiroth's control.

As you see, the number of people and creatures that died of geostigma was limited, as is the amount of negative lifestream he controls

Indeed.

So, Seph never had anything close to the full power of the Lifestream.

Then for some reason, his "little" Lifestream has the same level of power than most of the normal one.
The fact we have two characters(Omega and Minerva) with control over most of the Lifestream, and the fact that nothing is above Sephiroth and he have power enough to transform the entire planet in a "space-ship", is proof of that.

Ah, and remember that Avalanche destroyed the Mako Reactors of Midgar in DoC. Omega didn't absorb all of the pure Lifestream.

My opinion still stands. Seph and Weiss can be "equal" in many things, but Jenova's abilities give the advantage to Seph.

Sephiroth twaats Weiss, is that even a debate here?

To make something clear to everyone who is reading this thread, and don't have good knowledge about FFVII's universe: Omega Weiss being equal to Sephiroth is pure speculation. It was never stated in any official source, that a specific character in FFVII is equal to him. They just said that nothing is above him.

Read that:





No one is stronger than him, but they didn't say anything about being equal.

The problem is that we never saw his true power. Because of that, we don't have how to know if Weiss or anyone else, is equal to him or not.

Lol, so if Weiss fought Sephiroth, Sephiroth by that quote would not lose, or Weiss would be stronger.

What do you mean with "or Weiss would be stronger"? He isn't stronger than Sephiroth. No one in FFVII can be, that's the point.

From my POV that quote is saying.

"Sephiroth is the strongest FFVII character we have created, anyone else in power is either equal or below'

Fine I'll break it down so those more simple minded can understand.

The statement:
Sephiroth's existence and will is extremely powerful. There is nothing stronger, nothing above him.
We know is true

Therefore, Weiss cannot defeat Sephiroth or that statement would be false

If Sephiroth defeats Weiss, that statement remains true.

Thus it is common logic, Sephiroth > Weiss

Ahh... That's what you meant. By the way you talked, I had the impression you gave two diferent scenarios of how the battle would end. The way I understood was "Sephiroth by that quote would not lose. Or Weiss by that quote would be stronger".

But now I understand.

No those quotes are during the creation of Crisis Core which was made AFTER DoC.

WEISS FTW!!!

So i noticed. I was thinking of the American release date for DOC and the Japanese release date for the Files. Sorry about that.

It still means nothing though. We go by facts and feats here.

Gotta love the Sephiroth wank in here.

Shame the only thing people can rely on is a quote. You'd think the strongest FF7er's battles would speak for him.

Nope. According to the (senile) creators of FF7, Sephiroth had tons of power in AC. They just...um...never showed it. Or alluded to it.

Yeah.

These two quotes are still cannon.

Strength isn't the only thing involved in fighting. Cloud is far weaker than Sephiroth, and he still beat Sephiroth. That doesn't change the fact that Sephiroth is stronger than Cloud though, just as Weiss beating Sephiroth wouldn't mean Weiss is stronger.



Do you even know the meaning of the word senile?

Septh would win

Losing your mental faculties with age?

And Kitase and Nomura are only 42 and 37 respectively. That's hardly getting old and senile.

and to the other people who still think omega wiess controls the entire life stream, doesn't Sephiroth control the negative life stream thus wiess cannot truly control all of the life stream. which means that shephiroth has control of the neg life-stream and a jenovian body not to mention he can teleport and has masamune only the greatest weapon ever,and think of it this way sephiroth owns ass without having an official overdrive in any game (not sure since i never played dissidia) so to all people who think wiess is strong well sephiroth is amazingly strong to all those who fought him in kh1 he is damn awesome. and just to be clear if sephiroth really wants to win i think he will find a way to infect omega wiess with geostigma.

There is no negative lifestream post Advent Children. With both at their peaks, Omega Weiss controls the pure lifestream in it's entirety as there is no more negative one, and Sephiroth gets the negative lifestream at it's peak. Sephiroth has the advantage due to Jenova cells and his will, but to say it's impossible for Weiss to win is absurd. Cloud is infinitesimally weaker than Omega Weiss and he defeated AC Sephiroth.

You do know the whole purpose of AC was for Sephiroth to mess with cloud and let him know he cannot be killed. The negative lifestream if a form of the infected lifestream meaning he can menefest into any form of life. And before you say "He can only manefest through jenova cells." your wrong because in the Final Fantasy 7 book and in Final Fantasy 7 Comentaries it even said just as i stated. The entire point of AC was for him to tell cloud he cannot simply be killed.

You just proved to me that you've never read any FF VII related material in your life. All of the compilation materials mentioning Sephiroth's return in Advent Children confirm that he needs Jenova cells to come back. If he could manifest any time he wanted to there would be no need for Kadaj and pals.

And Sephiroth's ultimate goal in AC is not to show Cloud anything, it's still to attain godhood. He wanted to make Cloud suffer before he died, but this was simply a step on his way to controlling the lifestream through Geostigma and his Negative Lifestream. Go watch ACC and then actually read the Ultimanias and Complete Guides.

Ok, first off im only telling you what the Final Fantasy 7 Comentaries said. Which were after all made by the creaters of Final Fantasy. Also the book i read titled Final Fantasy 7 The Complete Story even had the Square Enix logo on it. The entire point was for Sephiroth to mess with Cloud. Like i said, go to Ebay type in "Final Fantasy 7 Comentaries" it covers all three games and the movie. Just watch that, Its even titled by Square Enix.

There is no official guide with that title. If there actually is a guide by that name it's a fake. The only official guide books are the FF VII Ultimania Omega, The Advent Children Reunion Files, The FF VII 10th anniversary Ultimania, and the Crisis Core Complete Guide. All of these books are Japanese only, except the Reunion Files which does feature some English.

All of these were written with content solely from the creators of the games, they are literally the bibles of the series. You should read the translations of them at thelifestream.net and watch Advent Children Complete if you haven't yet, that'll fill you in on a lot of FF VII info.

Alright maybe what you say is true, but it does have the Square Enix logo on it, and one is a movie. But what im trying to say is that after Kadaj summoned Sephiroth he no longer needed to use Jenova cells to manefest because Jenova was in the lifestream. But the movie kind of just left us hanging so its all controversial. Il look into the guide and the movie i have to see if it's legit. (If i find a website where its at il post it on here.)

Kadaj was made specifically because Sephiroth needed Jenova cells to manifest. The Jenova particles in the lifestream were enough to get into people and allow Sephiroth to cause Geostigma, but to actually return he needed a large concentration of the cells. That's why Kadaj, Yazoo, and Loz all desperately wanted their "mother," Sephiroth's will was driving them to find the cells because Sephiroth needed them.
If Sephiroth didn't need the cells there would be no need for his remnants or for him to get Jenova's head from Rufus, he would have just appeared in the beginning of AC.

Ok, but i was also told that after Kadaj summoned him he no longer needed Jenova Cells because Jenova was now fully in the lifestream. But there was some sort of interview i saw with Sqaure Enix (subtitled) that i saw where it said the point of AC was also for Sephiroth to mess with Cloud, will have to search youtube for it. Also saw something about it in Playstation Magazine and GameInformer. But i understand what your saying about Kadaj originally.

Sephiroth did want to mess with Cloud, who wouldn't be pissed if a SOLDIER reject beat you twice? It's just that his main goal was the Geostigma plot. Getting rid of Cloud was just a part, albeit a big part, of this goal.

Anything FF7 versus Sephiroth equates to "something or someone below Sephiroth versus Sephiroth", IIRC.

Especially Safer Sephiroth, and no, this does not imply he's "safer" to fight against. In fact, I think it was just a mistranslation/mispronounciation. IIRC it's actually "Seifer" and not "Safer".

Actually Advent Children Sephiroth is the strongest version of him, the creators confirmed this in the AC Reunion Files. And Safer is most likely a mistranslation of Seraph, the six winged angels that surround God's throne in Judaism and Christianity.

Yeah it actually is a mistanslation for Seraph, i looked it up. And no Safer Sephiroth was not his most powerful form as it was incomplete, AC Sephiroth was the most powerful. We could go on forever arguing here because different sources say different things. fascistcrusader what does the guide actually say on Sephiroth because i dont have it. Because if i recall FF7 did say Sephiroth was the strongest character. Yes i do realize Cloud beat him but as someone said here before Cloud doesn't really match up to his power.

The verbatim statement on Sephiroth's strength comes from an interview with Nomura, where he says:

"Kitase said Sephiroth's will and existence are extremely powerful. There is nothing stronger, nothing above him."

This statement is in regards to AC Sephiroth, and it means canonically that nothing can surpass his power. The creators also stated it wouldn't feel right to make a character stronger than Sephiroth in another interview. AC Sephiroth is the most powerful being in the FF VII universe, but that doesn't mean nothing else can achieve similar power, as the statement says there is nothing above him, not nothing equal to him.

The AC Reunion Files confirm that Cloud is outmatched in his fight with Sephiroth, and that Sephiroth isn't even giving his all in the fight, so we do know that it's possible for lesser being to defeat Sephiroth, and given that Omega Weiss is leagues above Cloud he's got a good shot at doing so.

Ok, i understand what your saying. He could be equal with Sephiroth but it would not truely make sense in the FF7 universe. His power may be equal but if Sephiroth in AC never gave it his all then theres no way of knowing his true power. And i think you saw the same interviews i saw.

Originally posted by fascistcrusader

Not really. Since the creators have already stated multiple times that Sephiroth is supreme in FF7, the winner of the battle has already been decided.

You're right Terry, it's not like a being far less powerful than Omega Weiss like Cloud has ever beaten Sephiroth... Oh wait, looks like your logic falls flat on it's face here, doesn't it?

The creators have said nothing surpasses Sephiroth, not that he can never be equaled, and we've been shown a few times in the compilation that more powerful doesn't always mean victory. If Cloud can take down Sephiroth then Omega Weiss' odds aren't bad at all.

Weiss is pretty badly under rated.

Indeed he is. The guy was hailed as the perfect soldier, considered so powerful that thye kept him chained to his throne and sedated most of the time. In addition to this they felt it necessary to give him a special restriction chip that woukd kill him with a virus in three days if the Deepground supercomputer failed to register lifesigns from the Restrictors.

The man is so powerful that he manhandled Bloodburst Rosso and Arch Azul while literally only using on hand. These two in their base forms are as skilled as any elite 1st Class like Zack. When Hojo is controlling him he puts the wood to Vincent with just the power of base Weiss, we know this by the fact that Hojo says he wants to test the body, the game says he is only "Weiss thr Immaculate," and Hojo says his body is one with Omega just a Vincent's is with Chaos(Vincent always has Chaos in him but he's not always using its power).

When you take a being this powerful and then add the power of Omega, the ultimate WEAPON, it becomes one of thr most awesome powers in the VII universe.

It is absurd completely to say it's impossible for Weiss to win. He may not be stronger than Sephiroth but Fascistcrusader has a point to where it didn't say anything wasn't equal.

He does have very strong power, i say he would be a very good match.
The only thing i think is that when they said there was no power stronger than Sephiroth i think they kind of implied that there was no one equal to him. But like i said we can't really know, i mean if someone weaker than Weiss like Cloud beat Sephiroth, whos to say Weiss can't win? I'm only saying it would be unlikely from the point of view i look at it.
