We see the sword move, and the question of whether the force of his swings come from a magical source or not mean exactly nothing, a notion you fail to grasp. I never claimed Sephiroth or Cloud could lift as much as Link.
Link isn't a lightning timer, lol. If you claim that, you must allow Cloud to be a lightning timer as well. He has the benefit of dodging something the script actually refers to as lightning.
Except it does mean quite a lot for your argument or you wouldn't have clung to the idea it was a physical feat as long as you did. You do realize the massive differences, yes?
it's not a 'force of his swings comes from magical source', it's just straight up magical. Sephiroth can cut through steel, this is inarguable and no one cares, it's not a big deal or particularly high end strength feat, but you're trying to amplify Cloud's actual striking strength by
1. assuming that Sephiroth's best cutting feat is somehow related to striking force (it's not)
2. attributing this to Cloud somehow?
Sephiroth pisses around with Cloud all CISy and then Cloud limit breaks him. Again. In the middle Cloud does indeed cut through a few girders but that's, again, nothing Spider-man couldn't do given a sufficiently strong sword.
Cloud avoids some lightning, Link plays tennis with it, while also being physically more powerful, more durable than a chunk of concrete, and without Sephiroth's CIS.

Cloud never avoids lightning, and neither does Link play tennis with it.
Still, at least, Cloud can block bullets with ease from a distance, whereas Link at best can block arrows.
I don't even like Cloud (anymore), but he wins.

Link has the better reaction feat, better strength and durability. How does Cloud win again?
Take it to the thread you bastards.
Anyway I started playing FF VIII since I've had it for quite a while. Surprised how much I disagree with Spoony on some things. The drawing magic and the card game aren't getting annoying at all really but he should have gone into detail over the boring combat and more importantly how completely unlikable Squall is as a main. The guy is a step down from Cloud(and don't even get me started on how he compares to Zidane) so I'm really hoping he gets better.
