So Cloud would have been unable to do what he did the first time, because Sephiroth could easily stop him. That's why he didn't do it. Aside from the developers not wanting to get repetitious in how Cloud deals with Sephiroth as well. Let's not forget it's a movie we are talking about. Even if Cloud COULD have done it, the developers wouldn't have had him because that would just be repeating what they already did.2. Yeah, they did better than Cloud when he was a weak nothing. It took him loosing his home town to fix that.
3. But you just said "It still seems contradictory" when I just got through explaining why it wasn't. If you understood why it wasn't contradictory, you wouldn't be saying it was contradictory, would you? So tell me why my explanation why it isn't contradictory is wrong, even though most people could easily see that WITHOUT need of explanation, or admit it isn't contradictory. One or the other.
1. Except Sephiroth DIDN'T retaliated in AC, as for Cloud... he had time, he tried to hold the Masamune without any success, he couldn't retaliate, which means, he can't throw any men in a fight. Face it, Cloud was much stronger, he couldn't, he can't. I'm glad you admit Sephiroth's condition IS important after all, and taking words from your previous posts, you implied Cloud could do it also for PIS, since, according to you, he was 'angered'. 😐
2. Lmao. Not really, just because my brother gets killed doesn't mean I will turn powerful. That makes absolutely no sense. They did better because they were better.
3. You said 'if I see someone lifting a big object then that's having super-strength', then you said 'if someone don't lift a heavy object doesn't mean they don't have super-strength', the difference is that you can tell if someone does. But if someone doesn't, then doesn't mean they can't, that's basically what you said, RIGHT? And you know what the word 'seems' means, right? It gave me the IMPRESSION that it still was 'contradictory', I didn't said 'that IS still contradictory'. Besides, at what paragraph are you replying to...? Who cares about 'most people'? Maybe other people gets your points, maybe other people doesn't get your points, who cares?

4. You said you needed strength to perform Renzokuken and defeat giant monsters. That IS what you said. Technically you never said Super Strength (Though I think you did earlier but I'm not going all the way back to look), however I assumed that's what you meant since that is what we were talking about. Either that or you were just making an unrelated comment that had nothing to do with the debate. Especially since I never said, nor hold to the idea, that Squall isn't strong.5. Yeah, so he might react quick, but he didn't physically get faster. He isn't super speeding through that jump. It's completely normal speed.
6. I never said you DID say Tifa was a super human. I'm saying you don't need to be super human to kill monsters. Tifa does it with her fists, completely un-super human. So Squall killing things with a SWORD isn't super human either, since Tifa isn't and she's unarmed.
4. I said that to demolish giant monsters, you need super-strength, NOT that in order to use Renzokuken you need super-strength. I said that special attacks are usually stronger than normal attacks, that's just how things works, you know? That's the way it is.
5. He can react and move super-quick. Squall's agility is awesome, as seen in that video. To perform such jump, you, in fact, need A LOT of physical strength. Like Indrid just pointed out, Squall is in decline, usually when you're in decline, you are jumping from another side, not to mention he's from above the guard's head and the prison's center, which proves it. I know you don't like Squall, but you are going to have to deal with this. Oh, and If I remember correctly, even no one in AC could jump that long AND fast in just about a second.
6. But you implied it, since you touched the 'super-human' stuff when NO ONE has said something related to it. It depends what kind of monsters, if those are just some bugs, then yes. Considering that Zell effortlessly punched a train's floor making it to shake causing errors in its system, what Tifa does in FFVII is literally garbage, since... She does nothing at all. 😐
Oh, and:
Effortlessly making a train shake by a punch >> Breaking an already broken chair by a punch. 🍺
