I don't think this thread has been meade but there's been a few Sephiroth vs people threads so who knows.
On the subject Sephiroth will crush Cloud unless Areith's prayer has weakened him. Look at what he was capable of:
1. fought against monsters in Nibelhem and Mt Nibel without receving damage from attacks.
2. Slaughtered the upper levels of the Shinra and killed the president.
3. Was capable of sending an astral projection of himself or projecting his will onto one of the clones and gave it the capability of flight and phasing.
4. Survived being trapped in a massive materia crystal for at least five years.
5. Critically wounded the Turks leader Tseng with one attack.
6. Held back Holy the planet's most potent weapon while maintaining a forcefield that only the Sister Ray was able to penatrate.
7. Held the entire Avalanche team imobile at the Promised Land and was about to destroy them when Areiths prayer came into effect.
Without the prayer to help him Cloud doesn't have a hope of defeating Seph
I pick Sephrioth because he's a cooler character....the fight could really go either way.
The problem with RPG characters is that bad guys are always wayyyyyy stronger than the good guys because you always fight in parties. Besides, i'm sure with the right materia, Cloud could counter most of what Seph had to offer.
I believe the end character was a shadow of Sephiroth, as Sephiroth was killed by Cloud years before. In all respects, Cloud should be no competition for Sephiroth - probably just another "foot soldier" to him.
I am assuming Cloud was able to kill Sephiroth before only for the fact that he was still disoriented on his belief that he was a pure blood Cetra. I find it hard to believe Cloud could get a jump on Sephiroth so easily like that otherwise.
Also, KH (Kingdom Hearts) Sephiroth would easily defeat KH Cloud.
Hey Noah, this IS an off Topic Forum where anything is posted, and i have only been here about a week, so come on. Besides that, dont look at someone's thread and post if all you gotta say is something that could be considered rude. If you dont like a thread, do like a bad radio station and change the channel. ANYway, hahaha, yes mein hunds, Sephiroth=Coolness, Cloud=Clod. Cloud is not even a true SOLDIER, just a regular grunt, and He has a perfectly great chick in Tifa, yet he is all broke up still over Aeris. Like Jacapol said in "Count of Monte Cristo", "take the money, take the girl, and LIVE!!!" Thank you guys for the posts, even you, Noah. (ya oughtta ge tback in the ark though. hahaha j/k) I will remember to post in the right zone next time as so not to offend our resident rule lawyers... 😎
Special attacks like omni slash and weapons like Ultima Weapon might not actually qualify in comparing the capabilities of Cloud to Sephiroth.
Sephiroth had a staple weapon in Masamune, while Cloud could very well have been using the nail bat and attacked normally in the final encounter (player's choice). If Sephiroth was an actual player, he could have upgraded his own weapon and have his own ultimate special attack too.
I see Sephiroth superior, as our association with Cloud is through the progress we made with him via experience points and enhancements. Since he was not exactly formally trained for SOLDIER, Zack might have even been superior overall against Cloud.
