No, you're all missing the whole point.

FF7 is meant to emphasize the importance of friendship and love. Cloud won because he has the one thing Sephiroth will never understand: Love.

Or friendship, but that's just about the same thing. Sephiroth knows only hate and hate can only destroy. But in the end, love is stronger than anything, stronger even than death. That is the whole point of FF7, both the movie and the game. That is the moral lesson. And I'm rather shocked to find that no one else here understood that.

But you've got to admit that bad guys always lose in most games because they are supposed to lose, like Sephiroth.

Yes friendship and all that but man it would be good to see, at least, a fake victory for the bad guys near the ending...(not Aeris assassination, that doesn't counts)

Games should show more bad guys winning, imagine a FF when the heros fail and the world is plunged into darkness.

I think cloud only beats sephiroth becase they don't want the main charactar to die. just like when cloud lived through his mako-induced coma.

i think Sephiroth knew cloub would stop him cause he wanted to rule the world. and maybe another half of it is Sephy wanted to play with him.

It's actually quite simple. If Cloud were to have been beaten the first time, there wouldn't been a game in the first place, because he would have been dead. The latter battle, the final battle, Sephiroth wins all the time. That is what the "game over" screen means. Simply said, plot devices.

The way i look at it is like this...Maybe Sephiroth wanted Cloud to stop him on a different level, thats why he kept "summoning" him.

But he never got injected with Jenova Cells and submerged into Mako until he defeated Sephiroth the first time. Shortly afterward's Zak took Cloud away from the scene and tried to completely flee the scene to Midgar, but just as they got there Shinra Soldier's killed Zak and well, cloud was in a state. Then Hojo expiremented on the "Person" who managed to defeat Sephiroth, ect...

I think the first time he managed to defeat Sephiroth was because he was so in-raged by the site of his home-town getting burned down and at the sight of what happened to Tifa, a close friend of his made him more angry and so he fought for her, ect .

Second time was either because he was overlimited (Best Level you can get to) and best equip/Materia (For the Bizzaro/One winged Angel fight) then of course you have the infamous Omnislash scene.

Uh ... I think I've blabbed long enough ^^ .

First Battle: Cloud won because he stabbed Sephiroth's back by surprise, and gained the advantage.

Second Battle: Cloud won because he has the help of all his friends, and Sephiroth wasn't totally concentrated in the battle(he was using his will to hold Holly).

Third Battle: Cloud won because he was much more powerful after all his adventure in FFVII, and because Sephiroth was weaker after his body(Safer) was destroyed. And maybe because Sephiroth underestimated Cloud.

Fourth and Final Battle: Cloud won because Sephiroth didn't even try in that fight. He was playing and toying with Cloud during all of it.
