Gamefaqs Character Battle

[extremegamer]

I saw on Gamefaqs that Cloud and Squall are paired up for character battle. And since i'm a big ff7 & 8 fan, it is the most interesting battle so far. (not really a battle, just votes) so far this character battle thing is a joke, its more of a popularity contest than anything. I'm really sure that if tails and the guy from Halo were to really battle that Tails would win, anyway, aside from popularity, who would really win?

Voted Squall because I really loved the weapon-design of the Gunblade
I was dissapointed a bit when, no matter how far I got in the game, he never used it to shoot.

in the cinemas he never used it to shoot, but if you have good timing, you can hit the r1 button in battle when the sword is going on the down swing to shoot enemies.

squall all the way!

This is kind of a silly topic, but I'll reply to it anyway.

Game mechanics-wise, Cloud is a lot stronger then Squall since in FF8 you need to mostly hide behind your summoned creatures to survive. In a real fight, Squall would probably win because he can keep his distance and use the gun on his gunblade.

did u not read this. The gunblade could not shoot but had a trigger so when pulled the blade moved back like when you press R1 in the game...........Duh!!!
Clouds stronger than Squall but the FMV from FF8 showed the best animated fight scene EVER between Squall and I forgets his name.
So hard :blink:

Neither, Terry Bogard would get sick of their angsty, JRPG main character whining and throw them both down while they're waiting for thier "turn".

And the GameFAQs character contest IS just a popularity contest; didn't you read the FAQ? If it was just "who could beat the living daylights out of whom" the finals would end up Terry Bogard versus Solid Snake every year.

Terry Bogard is the guy from Fatal Fury right?? If so, just about any character from Samurai Showdown would beat the living crap out of him as well as any character with a gun, so I doubt he would be a finalist.

Cloud. If worst came to worst he could always use his awkwardly shaped hands to pummel Squall very effectively if he lost his sword. Squall has fingers and thus, having lost his sword, probably due to a mistimed gunblade activation, would have to spend considerably longer making a fist than Cloud. Or just resort to slapping...

Go people with awkwardly shaped hands!
