Um.. in case you haven't realised, I WAS talking about FF7 Vincent VS Cloud, cuz I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW Chaos Vincent EXISTED.
If someone could clarify these things beforehand, I wouldn't be so confused lol
Oh yeah, Chaos Vincent would slay Cloud in a split-second.

Then we're all in agreement here.

When it comes to FF7 Vincent vs. FF7 Cloud, it would still be a close fight. I think it could go either way. Vincent still has access to Chaos in FF7, but he isn't nearly as powerful as he is in DoC because Chaos hadn't been awakened yet. What's more, we don't even know if he could activate it at will or if he, too, had to wait to build up enough emotional turmoil to transform into Gallian Beast, Death Gigas, Hellmasker, or Chaos. However, within the context of the original FF7, Cloud did have a stronger arsenal available to him when compared to FF7 Vincent, as well as more raw power at his disposal.

Though Vincent invariably wins it in a post-FF7 Battle (i.e. with Awakened Chaos at his disposal), Cloud could probably defeat Base Vincent without too much trouble. Without Awakened Chaos's incredible speed at his disposal, Vincent would probably have a pretty tough time avoiding an Omnislash or even a Meteorain. What's more, Cloud could probably last long enough against Base Vincent to get off such an attack.

Cloud Own VIncent
its that.
However , Vincent lost Chaos in the
end of DoC
end the author say in AC :
Cloud are above all others characters
( level )

I Don't understand why people would vote for cloud...He can turn Sephiroth in to a pile of Mako but thats only because Sephiroth Pushes him to that limit...Sometime you have to wonder if Sephiroth is trying to help cloud kill him... Anyway i still say Vincent could kick clouds but to the moon and back in no time flat With chaos at his side there really nothing Vincent can't do ,But with out chaos i can see cloud winning in no time LMAO

Also he did save Cloud's ass, Cloud couldn't take on all three SHM on his own, Vincent had to bail him out, and he had the three all shook up while he was at it ^^

Actually I thought Vincent did really well against Bahamut SIN, he might have taken it down if the battle had lasted longer.

I think it all depends on what environment they are in. In all ways i'm gonna go for Cloud, but still it's gotta depend on the circumstances. If its from FFVII, then Cloud will thrash all, omnislash is amazing and could even hammer blow Lionheart. If we are going AC, then it's a whole different matter. It doesn't revolve around what moves you use and what not, it goes by skill. Cloud is stronger than Vincent and will eventually get the final hit with that huge sword of his.

Anyway, being a little less serious, Cloud and Vincent both pwn all and with Red, they make up a legendary team. FFVII FTW!

If I had to chose I would have to say Cloud because I grew up knowing him the most, but now when I know all the characters I would still say Cloud, but don't get me wrong Vincent is also a favourite character of mine but Cloud will always be my no.1 favourite FFVII character.

This isn't about favorites, it's about who's stronger.
