Sol Badguy
---
Sol fights using a blunt, rectangular sword known as Fuuenken (Fireseal) through which he releases a range of fire-based attacks.
Canon states that Sol was the winner of the first Guilty Gear Tournament, and it is here that Justice discovers that Sol is, in fact, Frederick. Justice, in her dying words, comments that she wishes that "the three of us" could talk one last time, and Sol swears to kill That Man.
Sorry guys, forum won't allow me to post pics or urls so...hope use like reading.
Sol Badguy (ƒ\ƒ‹ƒoƒbƒhƒKƒC, Soru Baddogai?) is the main character[1] and namesake[2] of the Guilty Gear fighting game series. By initial appearance, he is an aloof bounty hunter anti-hero who fights with an oddly rectangular sword called Fuuenken, or the Fireseal. However, his brash and somewhat abrasive exterior conceals a genius and emotional depth. He has dedicated his life to the destruction of Gears, a race of magical bioweapons that plunged the world into a hundred-year war known as the Crusades. In particular, he shows a particular zeal to destroy their creator, an individual known only as "That Man". Sol is also a fan of Queen, and his foil in the series is Ky Kiske.
Background
His exact history is unclear, but it is known for certain that Sol's real name is Frederick, who not only was one of the lead scientists of the Gear project, but is also the prototype Gear from over a hundred years before the events of the Guilty Gear games. As a prototype, he is immune to the orders of Commander Gears. He was personally acquainted with That Man prior to the Crusades. His headband is actually a Gear-suppression device which prevents him from giving into his Gear nature and losing his rationality, at the cost of suppressing much of his power. The headband also conceals the glowing red brand on his forehead, the telltale mark that would expose him as a Gear.
As Frederick, Sol created the "Outrage", which he called a supreme Anti-Gear weapon. The Outrage is actually not one weapon but several - eight components called "Jinki", which greatly amplify their wielders' magical ability. Only three Outrage weapons are currently known to be active - Sol's own Fuuenken, Ky's Fuuraiken (Thunderseal), and Anji Mito's twin fans, Zessen. The other five are supposedly in the custody of the United Nations, although some fans believe Paracelsus, A.B.A's living key, to be a jinki.
Frederick also saved Kliff Undersn (one of the leaders of the Holy Orders and the one who named Ky leader of the Holy knights) when Kliff was still a young boy. Roughly half a century later, he was himself recruited into the order, as a bounty hunter named "Sol Badguy." Sol took part in the Crusades, ironically becoming one of the best fighters on the human side. At this time he was a member of the Sacred Order of Holy Knights (Seikishidan). He acquired the nickname "Corrupted [or Immoral] Flame" during that time, a name that such figures as I-No and Justice use for him later. However, he later became disenchanted with the methods of the Sacred Order. At an unspecified time, Sol fled the order, taking with him the Fuuenken, which the Holy Knights had come to consider a sacred treasure. The theft earned him Ky's enmity.
In 2175, Sol faced Justice directly. The two fought, and Justice won - in the process, discovering that Sol was a Gear (but not his true identity as a creator of the Gears). Justice attempted to assert her power as a Commander Gear to control Sol, but was unable to do so. Exploiting her confusion and weakness from the fight, the Holy Order, led by Ky Kiske, sealed Justice away, bringing the war to an end.
Anyway...this fight'd go towards Sol because no doubt this'd come down to share endurance and as tough is Cloud is, Sol has a slight edge over him with his fire wielding. In saying that Cloud has materia which'd take a split second longer than Sols' fire, and in this fight you can't afford a second. Go Sol go.

Cloud Strife has lots of endurance. In Advent Children he fights Bahamut, Loz & Yazoo, Kadaj & Sephiroth one after the other. He can last quite a while, and his speed is off the charts. I don't see the flames being that big of a problem, but they will aid Sol Badguy against Cloud.
Is there a specific reason for him to use a blunt sword?

That looks like an awesome anime by the way.
It's blunt? I don't think it's blunt. Uhh dunno....
I rated this fight like this-
Strength (Physical): Sol Badguy.
Speed (Agility and what not): Cloud Stryfe.
Swordsmanship (How they handle their weapons): Cloud Stryfe.
Power (Materia, Energy Blasts & Magic sh*t): Draw.
Experience (Pretty much says it all): Sol Badguy.
Conclusion: Due to 100s of years of fighting, Sol has the edge on Cloud. Even with his battles with Sephiroth and SHINRA and what not, Cloud would eventually fall. Cloud would put up a big fight and knock a few of Sols teeth out, but after that, he's going to get a huge flaming fist to the face.
The magic system in a number of FF games is sophisticated and things such as spell time, accuracy and damage are unspecified and are unlike real-time magic spells such as the ones in KH. Hell even in the KH2 secret ending we see Thundaga, Reflega and Blizzaga in real-time action.
I don't see why Kadaj, Loz and Yazoo didn't use Materia PROPERLY 😠
Summons are somewhat cheap in my opinion.
Edit: What I meant by FF magic spells not having specific accuracy damage and time, is that we don't know for instance, if Wakka just has to put out his hand and make ice appear and surround the enemy regardless of how fast and where the enemy is within two seconds while casting Blizzaga, and Firaga in FFX looks more like an explosion that suddenly appeared where the enemy is than flames.
