Not too many, I'd wager.
How many people do you know can take a stab wound all the way through their body and not only remain conscious, but pull themselves up the sword?
I doubt any.
How many people do you know can use the sword that is still sticking out of them and throw something that weighs as much as a full grown man off a cliff?
I'll answer this one for you. None.
THOSE are the feat. THOSE are what's important. Cloud did all of THOSE things and THOSE things are what is impressive. Sephiroth is not important. Only THOSE things that I just listed for you are.
And it's not impressive because he did it against the persons wishes. It's just impressive he did it at all. Notice the "other person" (be it Sephiroth, Genisis, Angeal, or Zack) is not mentioned at all in the feat. Not once. Because they aren't PART of the feat! Only THOSE things I listed are. Nothing more. Nothing less. Just THOSE.
And when did I said that you said that Sephiroth can be beaten by Cloud in a fight? Huh?
Well, fighters can lift people and toss them. And many people can remain conscious with a stab in the stomach. ermm
And how many people do you know can fight and beat armed soldiers and robots just with a sword? I bet none. See how that works? You love to mix real life physics and fictional physics.
Not really getting into Last Order, but wasn't Cloud also powered-up by Mako? His eyes are glowing, and I don't think it means nothing. Cloud wasn't even losing so much blood as Sephiroth by that small stab either, considering Sephiroth had his body almost cut in half and his bones broken. 😐
THOSE THINGS what? He did it once, and I already explained WHY he did it in the first place. Sephiroth isn't important? I wonder why he only did it to him, then.
None of those people are mentioned, maybe... You know, because Cloud couldn't do it against those? He at least couldn't against Sephiroth in AC when Cloud was stronger. Is a feat, but it isn't an epic great feat as you want to make it sound. Cloud was lucky.

I see nothing super strong in that attack at all. It's just a bunch of slashes. And let's not forget that limit breaks just by themselves cannot prove an above human ability. It has to be backed up in the actual plot.
I know, but I'm not interested in getting back into a full blown Squall vs Cloud debate. And even if I was, the points we are debating right now should be finished before bringing in new ones.
Get me the video.
Considering it can be perfectly wield by a mere infantryman, I don't think so. Considering Sephiroth wasn't even impressed, I don't think so. You also need to be 'super-human' to beat giant monsters with your fists, if that's the case.
If we go by the 'size' of a weapon then Zidane in FF is crap.
The warrior is more important than the weapon.
Lmao. The attack itself isn't the strength, Squall is. Squall pretty much demolishes giant monsters with it. Renzokuken is Squall's primary ability, and is also mentioned when you Scan Squall. Sorry, Limit Breaks are canon. What are the fights? Plot, right? They form part of the plot, yes? When we can see the characters fighting? INSIDE a battle, right? If you hasn't noticed, FF isn't a real time RPG. The amount of 'fights' you see outside a fight is vague, is zero. So stop pretending. You won't see 'fighting feats' outside a battle, they are almost nonexistent, outside... You know, the fights. 😐

Squall does it in less than a second and from far away. He sends an armed security guard to 'sleep' before he even shoots his machine gun, without breaking a sweat. Notice how he comes already in the air.
