Wiz: It's impossible to deny, Cloud's superhuman abilities make him one of the deadliest swordsmen in video game history.Ĭloud witnessed and cries over Zack's death. Multiple times! I mean, look at this shit! He's even been completely impaled and shrugged it off like it was nothing. Cloud's singlehandedly taken down quite a few powerhouses, like the giant Bahamut SIN, and planet-busting Sephiroth. He often relies on overpowering opponents through sheer ferocity and brute strength.īoomstick: Like a badass! You don't need to think too hard when you're strong enough to cut through freakin' skyscrapers. Wiz: Cloud is brash and aggressive, but not the brightest fighter. Well, I guess that makes it worth wearing a freakin' chick accessory. While this magical band has zero materia slots, it grants the wearer an extraordinary amount of defense, and halves damage received from elemental, magical and physical effects.īoomstick: Also, Cloud wears a ribbon, which makes him immune to all status effects like burns and stuns. Wiz: As he doesn't carry any other materia, Cloud obviously wears Ziedrich armor. But his deadliest move is the Omnislash, a move so quick and powerful, it practically guarantees victory. He can channel his rage into extremely powerful Limit Break attacks.īoomstick: These emo-charged Limit Breaks range from paralyzing foes with Cross Slash to launching meteors from his sword. Wiz: Cloud has an encyclopedia's worth of anger issues, which actually works to his advantage. (*Cues: Final Fantasy VII - Bombing Mission*) This materia can shoot electricity and summon lightning bolts. And in the second slot, we're giving Cloud his most iconic materia, Thundaga. However, since their creation damages the planet, Cloud has limited his materia use.īoomstick: He typically carries the Firaga materia, which shoots fire at things.

Wiz: The Buster Sword contains two slots for materia, condensed Mako that grants magical abilities. With his strength, Cloud can swing this much faster than any normal human.īoomstick: Holy shit! Look at it! That's a man's sword right there! His main weapon is Zack's Buster Sword, a colossal single-edged blade. Wiz: That's not all Cloud inherited from his friend. Instead, he was forcefully exposed to Mako poisoning, a raw energy drained from the planet itself.īoomstick: And somehow it gave him all the memories of his dead buddy, Zack, including his First Class soldier training. Wiz: Impulsive and moody, Cloud strove to join the illustrious Shinra organization. He's a fucking super soldier, but damn, he's in desperate need of a haircut. Wiz: Cloud Strife, guardian of the Lifestream, is no ordinary swordsman.īoomstick: There's no way around it. (*Cues: Final Fantasy VII - Mako Reactor*) Wiz: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win. And Guts, the brutal black swordsman from Berserk. Cloud Strife, guardian of the lifestream. Someone's gonna die!īoomstick: They're two of the most iconic swordsmen in video game history, known for taking on things way out of their league. Big swords and angry personalities don't mix.
