Talk:Link VS Cloud/@comment-67.142.181.22-20150526141628/@comment-25430354-20150526163309

I'm not going to argue who should've won, but there are some problems with your arguments.

"Link dies when attacked by chickens." Can't exactly judge characters durability by gameplay, by that logic you can say Cloud can die to the weakest enemies of FF7, or that Goku can die to Mr. Satan in DBZ games.

" If Link gets Navi, then cloud gets a summon.  During omnislash version 5, Link used Navi. Right there is outside help. That clears Cloud to use summons. " Link didn't get Navi, the z-targeting animation was from Oot, but Link has the Z-targeting move in other games when he doesn't have a fairy to guide him, like Skyward Sword, Twilight Princess, Wind Waker... They specifically said at the beginning no fairies or summons and they meant it.

" Link gets his items" In terms of weapons, not all of them, there's PLENTY they left out for Link, as his arsenal was limited to what he had in Smash Bros.

" Now to talk about the actual fight. Cloud was stuck with the Buster Sword, which is a terrible weapon in game. Link got his best weapon." With this one they went with Cloud's preferred weapon in most media, and considering that it's his default weapon in Dissidia and Kingdom Hearts, the Buster Sword is both his default and most popular weapon. The Master Sword is not the best weapon in Zelda games (Biggoron Sword, Great Fairy Sword, Fierce Diety Mask, invinciibility armor and potions).

" When Link shot Cloud with an ice arrow, even though Cloud had a ribbon, it froze him anyway." That was to demonstrate that Cloud's ribbon made him immune, you saw this glow coming out from him that showed it was in effect. Otherwise Cloud would've remained frozen. Don't base a chunk of your argument off the animation, as that's not what determines who wins or loses.
