.There is a reason why the brothers needed the J-cells, you know. Because Sephiroth needed them to return to the physical world. He needed a physical body, formed of physical matter, not a spirit body like Kadaj's. The J-cells were the physical matter used by him to form his new body.
And that's where his regeneration comes from. He created a new body from a few cells in a box. Therefore, he could use those cells to recreate a lost limb, or heal wounds, or whataver.
That could be a problem. But we have to consider other factors, like: Can Nihilus scape from Seph's TK? Can Nihilus react to his speed? Can he block Seph's magic?
Ah, and did I mention that Jenova's body(aka Sephiroth's body in AC) can turn intangible? [/B]
1. I disagree. Nihilus' TK feats are superior IMO. Holding a ship as "ravaged"(lol) as the Ravager during Hyperspace would take amazing power and control over TK. Also, although Holy is powerful, it is virtually weightless, it is like a corrosive gas that kills threats to the planet.
2. Nope. He needed the J Cells to complete the transformation. I mean dude, it was even clearly stated KADAJ would TRANSFORM into Sephiroth.
3. Can Nihilus escape Sephiroth's TK? No, he can overpower it with his own.
React to his speed? Well, Nihilus is a tremendously powerful Sith Lord, and even weaker Sith or Jedi can use Force Speed to become much faster.
Block Sephiroth's magic? There is defensive Force Powers out there, and a lightsaber can block most as well.
In that cutscene, this intangibility you like to bring up worked pretty slow.
