Sephiroth vs. Shin Akuma

You act like SGS will actually hit Seph, when it won't.

Anyways Sephiroth would win.

Akuma rushes Sephiroth with the SGS. Sephiroth stands where he is and sticks his Masamune out towards Akuma. Akuma drives himself at the Masamune and it stabs his heart as a result. So much for the SGS.

Lmao!!!!!!!

Xeno is right, if Gouki just trys the SGS like a moron at the start of the fight, he dies. But Gouki's not that stupid.

Since Akuma is easily smarter than Sephiroth in terms of fighting, Sephiroth with God powers has been beaten about...3 times now, he's not the one who's likely to lose via stupidity.

He should wear Sephiroth down before attempting a Shungokusatsu.

Sad thing is we have never seen Sephiroth run out of stamina EVER.

Easily smarter than Sephiroth in combat? Why? Because of Sephiroth's Plot Induced Stupidity to toy with Cloud. Unfortunately for Gouki Sephiroth will not hesitate to kill him.

Tell me why it was Cloud-specific. Who else did he fight in AC?

Look man, Seph is not the idiot his fights make him out to be, he would have easily destroyed Cloud all three fights, but his IQ drops to severely retarded levels everytime he's in Cloud's presence. Hwe won't toy with Gouki.

Uh...who is the guy that always fights Seph? Cloud. Who is the guy that Seph considers a puppet? Cloud. Who is the only one that can stand up to Seph? Cloud. Who is the guy Seph toyed with during the end of AC? Cloud.

That's Sephiroth's flaw. His belief of Cloud being nothing but a puppet. Sephiroth encountered Tseng in the temple of the ancients...Tseng died. Sephiroth met his clones...they died. Tifa fought Seph...she was about to die had Cloud not saved her life. Zack fought Seph...he was about to die had ShinRa not saved his ass.

Yes. Cloud is Sephiroth's Plot Induced achilles' heel.

I agree with Prime, but Tseng didn't die. He was in AC if memory serves me.

Oh yeah. I forgot about that. Damned bad translations. He was supposed to be alive in the japanese version, but because of an error it was implied he died. And yah he was in AC.

So yeah Nikkolas Seph only fights stupid with Cloud, everyone else he kills or almost kills.

The evidence is right there for the love of God. What in God's name kept Sephiroth from stabbing Cloud in the heart or his skull? His stupid goal to spiritually destroy Cloud again.

I'll have to agree with supercroytprime this time.

Or what about during the Nibelheim incident? He stabbed him through the shoulder and lifted him up, why not through the neck to kill him?

Ahem.

Sephiroth of Nibelheim does not equal Sephiroth of five years afterward.

Yes Sephiroth beat Zack and Tifa in short order but he was half-crazed and going to see a half-dead alien.

Years later, in the Temple of the Ancients, Sephiroth spent several minutes talking to Tseng and Tseng was not even ready to fight. He merely stood there and then was stabbed.

And Seph couldn't EVEN KILL TSENG.

Sephiroth's goals don't make any sense.

His motivations are an absolute plot hole.

Last Order is an awesome anime, but I love the original cut-scene a lot more.

Or what about during the Nibelheim incident? He stabbed him through the shoulder and lifted him up, why not through the neck to kill him?

Because he was severely wounded, holding a severed head in the other hand and when Cloud ran at him, he simply turned around and held the sword up.

He couldn't kill them because they received medical attention before they died. He knows they are mortally wounded and pose no threat for him. He goes on his way. Big difference when it came to Cloud in AC. Sephiroth knew Cloud was not mortally wounded, and what did he do? He kept his eyes on him. However since Cloud HAD TO WIN he was frozen in time with a WTF look while Cloud Omnislash Ver. 5 his ass.

About Sephiroth's goal and character...well...I'm not a big fan of his. Kuja is better developed villain.
