Galcian (Skies of Arcadia) vs Sephiroth

Well seeing as how the creators said it hits with the power of an expanding star, it hits that hard. Unfortunately a lot of people don't understand that a games creators have the final say, their word holds sway and yours doesn't.

People also seem to be unable to comprehend the "only hits one target with that power" part. In Star Wars guide books we're told that turbolasers hit with many gigatons of energy, this being millions of times stronger than all of Earts nuclear weapons. However, because it's concentrated to the area the laser hits, it doesn't send a blast over a planet's entire surface, there is very little splash damage. That's how Supernova works.

I have not seen Seph destroy a fleet of battle ships in one attack. The Terminal does.

If Seph actually had that kind of power, he would not have needed Meteor to wound the planet.

Scream, like I've said before, Supernova can't destroy planets, it's used against opponents or groups of opponents. It cannot function to wound the planet like Meteor can. Now when you own the rights to FF VII you can come back and argue against canon, but until then you have asolutely no say in it. 🙁

Lol, and Cloud can survive such an attack, too, I'm sure. Cloud could have stopped meteor by placing his toes in it's path, too, eh?

yes. Ramirez was not as strong as Galcian. Possibly had the potential, but at their powers as seen in the game, Galcian is stronger.

And yes, that battle was eternal

If Supernova truly hits with the power of an expanding star, then Cloud should have NEVER had a problem killing Sephiroth, seeing that he can tank it.

I really think that Supernova is part of the reason why Seph cant get any respect here.

A little on the Power Rangers side, but still, eat your damn heart out, Sephiroth.

I've pointed this and many other flaws out to FC and Kill3r a million times. They simply refuse to accept it.

No I accept it quite fine. When haven't I accepted it?

And yet, "normal" humans (Tifa, Barrett, Cid) tank the power of an exploding star.....

No...not happening.

Show me it happening to them. Canonically.

Not only that, but if it did destroy planets, it wouldn't accomplish what Sephiroth wanted. Why would he destroy the thing he was gonna get power from? Basically he has a power socket with a tiny hole, he can get a small amount of power from it, but he wants a bigger one, using Supernova would destroy the power socket not make a bigger hole.

No-one ever said that. Why must you insist that Supernova must be something Cloud can survive?

Holy crap, when did Cloud tank it?

He never did.

So, your claim is that Supernova isn't a feat at all, since it didn't happen canonically?

No, just because Sephiroth has never used it on Cloud doesn't mean it doesn't exist. The story sections of three different guide books of the series list it as a canon attack that is as powerful as we've been saying it is.

But it needs to be canon in a game.

You know what we call feats that exist in stories but not in games? Fanfiction.

All I need to know is this: Is Supernova a canon move in the game or not?

they consider it one in dissidia, but that brings up the argument if dissidia is canon. The game developers said its up the the player to decide, which means its not canon, but you do have some ignorant fan boys that like to say it is

Well, in the Sonic-verse, Hyper Sonic can implode the universe or something like that. I've never seen a Hyper Sonic in any game I've played, but he gets treated like canon among his fans.

You know what we call feats that exist in stories but not in games? Fanfiction.

No, because it happened in the plot guide for the game made by it's creators. Dumbledore never took it up the ass in a Harry Potter book but canonically he's gay. Why? Because his creator said so.

The game developers said its up the the player to decide,

No they didn't, that was a fake interview a fan created before the game was released in Japan, the developers have said that it's a genuine entry in the series, that it's more canon than spin off titles, and the Dissidia Ultimania explains how the story of it ties into the other FF's plots. Not to mention it's a prequel to FF I, the game that started it all.

Wow, that sounds made up. They actually said that?
Somebody is running out of ideas...

Yeah, JK Rowling said Dumbledore is gay. That's been old news for a while now...

I was actually talking about the FF1 prequel thing.

The Cosmos and Chaos reports in Dissidia explain how the cycle was started, where Garland, the Warrior(s) of Light and Chaos came from, how Chaos and Garland relate, and the final shot of Dissidia is the opening shot of FF I. FF I is about the final defeat of Garland/Chaos after an infinite cycle of battle. The story of Dissidia is the story of FF I, but before the breaking of the cycle.

My sister is a huge Final Fantasy fan girl and I asked her was Dissidia canon and she said no. I looked it up on the net and I can't find evidence that it is. Everyone keeps saying it's not. When did Square Enix say this?

In the Dissidia Ultimania and Kitase and Arakawa, the producer and director of Dissidia respectively, said it was canon in Kitase's blog on 1up.com.
