When Yazoo shoots Cloud.... - Page 2

well, if you can remember, that opening with Nanaki was actually the ENDING of the original game. Why they reference that, I have no idea! It was not relavent to the story. It is 300 years after the original, 298 years after the movie.

also, there is one other of Nanaki's kind, a female, who went under some kind of sleep and was not mentioned once, hence everyones confusion.

and yes, his single-liner pissed me off completely. At least I liked his voice. He did not even talk in DoC! >=[

Ah ok thanks for explaining it. Never thought about that.

The thing when I said he shoots "through" Cloud, I mean the bullet passes through him (still hurting him).

I'm not sure about the part where you say Yazoo shoots right through Cloud later on in teh film, but when he shoots at his face and knocks off his glasses, I thought I remembered seeing a bit of blood from right above Cloud's eye...

it must ahve been a surface-hit that just nicked him and Cloud got really lucky.

I doubt an enemy would use a rubber bullet. That's like the DC Sniper using Paint-ball bullets.

He didn't kill him on purpose, if Yazoo wanted to kill cloud I dont think he would have missed from that range, they were just toying with him.

rofl was that a typo? i dont think, no matter how exaggerated, cloud's hair spike was even one METER?

Oops, yeh, it was supposed to be "metre", my computer loves American spelling for some reason and shuns any other English

. It might have been somewhat of an exaggeration *whistles innocently*.

From what I've seen there are two likly answers one hes using rubber bullets or two as the round hit the metal section of clouds glasses it bounced off leaving him with a cut and broken glass.

The first shot i agree was most likely intentional and clouds glasses are pretty strong to withstand it, he wouldnt want to kill cloud at that point as they were just playing with him.

as to the shot at the end i thought that was intentional but it was only a shot that was not too critical and therefore cloud would survive. although cloud does go somewhere because he goes to see areith and then he gets healed by the water in the church so maybe it was a serious shot but he was still able to survive from it. also notice before sephiroth stabs him right through the arm and he still seems to be ok, so maybe he was using regen materia.
its just one of these things we will never know

As many have said before, the first shot was a scare shot, meant to show Cloud how much they were toying with him. (The idiot dropped his sword! How the hell does he survive shit? >.<)

Anywho, the last shot was meant for a kill shot, and seeing it was high in the chest, Cloud would probably be coughing up a lung if he had survived the explosion. Not very conducive to long life.

But here's some food for thought. Yazoo sucks at shooting. He fires his weapon 576 times (yes, I counted and recounted them ALL) and he misses every single time and hits cloud only once (or twice, depending if you count only real meaning-business shots or scare-the-shit-outta-teh-blonde shots).

Yazoo is friggin lame.

Well of course Yazoo sucks at aiming, most villians are in the movies. When was the last time you saw a Stormtrooper or a Bond grunt actually hit and killed the main character or someone of any real importance?
