I'm mostly just considering this match at this point, but I do think they have some solid connections to work with.

These main protagonists represent a new evolution in the history of two of the most beloved, long running video game franchises out there. They hail from two dystopian sci-fi based settings plagued by a never-ending war between highly trained groups of elite soldiers and the renegade factions that seek to topple the governments that control their worlds. X and Cloud have had experience with both sides of the conflict, but at the end of the day, the two of them have affiliated themselves with two polar opposite positions altogether.

As a result of years of Mako experimentation and the final efforts of Dr. Light, X and Cloud have cemented themselves as extremely powerful fighters with a nigh limitless potential to their abilities. With dozens of different Maverick weapons and Materia to choose from, X and Cloud usually have an answer to every scenario that could possibly come their way in the middle of battle.

However, due to experiencing years worth of tragic events, including but not limited to the deaths of their best friends, the complete destruction of their hometowns at the hands of the main villains, and the mysterious circumstances surrounding their pasts, the two of them have been known to express intense feelings of angst that often conflicted with their current goals. The deaths of Zack Fair and Zero in particular hit them the hardest, as they found themselves inheriting the signature blades of their fallen comrades shortly afterwards.
