[DFF] Amazing battle match-ups?

[Captain Squee]

This thread is to post two characters that make an epic fight against one-another. I dont mean like the villian aganst the hero, just in particular it is an epic match for a battle to see.

I see a battle of Kuja against The emporer at the Pandemonia (omega) stage to be rather epic. Reason for this being that with all the flares floatin around, kuja needs a straight shot to hit a target, and so going around a corner for an attack is deadly, and the the emporer also needs can have attacks go around corners if aimed properly. But Kujas advantage is that he can keep high, avoiding spikes from comming up, and alsocan float above and/or under the flares, having a counterlike effect to the next attack. A great match up over all in my eyes.

Kuja vs Emperor is perhaps the most one-sided matchup in the game, actually :/ Contending with Shantotto vs Exdeath, and Kuja vs Exdeath, and probably a few matchups I don't know about. If we're talking about players of equal skill, Kuja should be coming out of this one relatively unscathed. Emperor doesn't really have even one move capable of touching a smart Kuja. Long as he keeps moving, Kuja is safe. He doesn't have to go into Empy's traps.
But, this isn't about one-sided matchups. This is about epic matchups. And for me, two fights in particular take the cake.

1) Firion vs Kuja: This is an uphill battle for Firion, but at the same time, you just have to play smart. Technically this can be completely one-sided, too. (If Kuja stays at max range and spams Ultima.) But he could do that to anyone.
Ultimately, it comes down to both parties not to make a mistake. One wrong move, and Kuja will eat whatever Firion wants him to eat, but at the same time, the same holds true for Firion. The fact that Straightarrow is a viable punisher for Kuja's HP attacks is very handy for Firion, as well as the fact that he doesn't really need to leave the ground. Half of Kuja's brave attacks can also be Shield Bashed, so it really limits Kuja's arsenal. Basically this will be a battle to see who messes up first, and more often.

2) Cecil vs Squall: Yet another uphill battle. Theoretically, Squall has the advantage. His attacks are faster/safer in the air, and there's no reason for him to leave the air. However, what both characters possess is an EX mode that can turn the tides at a ridiculous speed. One or the other can have 9999 BRV, and it doesn't really mean anything, because it could all be vacuumed away in the next minute. So much brave rape flying everywhere, presuming you have the right crits equipped. However, what both characters lack is a truly reliable HP attack. Therefore it tends to come down to who can land an HP attack first, which gets interesting, since both characters' HP attacks are punishable.

Of course, with the exception of the first little blurb, which is fact, this is all my opinion, and speaking from my own experience.

Exdeath Vs. Cloud in my opinion is a match to be amazed by for they are both extremly slow at attacking and moving. Although once in the air Exdeath has the slight advantage for he has his teleportation disk move to move from place to place with ease and quickly at that, whereas cloud has no special air move as far as im concerned that can move him from place to place whilst in the air.
Exdeath being at lvl max lvl against a lvl 1 Cloud is the way to lvl urself as Exdeath is one dumb ass opponent even set to vicious.

Umm Omni Air Dash? lol Anyway

i think that Zidane Vs Cloud could be quite a good matchup
Zidane is fast while cloud is slow, but while saying that if cloud gets a hit in Zidane may be done for

Zidane vs Cloud is yet another one side match up

all Zidane has to do is stall with snooze and lose, and then punish with swift attack when you try to cancel out SnL

I find ground Bartz vs any melee character(other than Squall) to be a pretty close matchup

Cloud VS Garland is one I find to be rather great. Both are considered powerhouses and have a great advantage in EX mode. The advantages work against eachother causing the EX modes to be a fight between the two of blows that go back and forth, leading to a standstill. And for Garland, his HP attacks are good to stop cloud from getting close, but Clouds HP attacks can cancel the spells, so I see it as a rather good match.

I meant as far as not having to use any form of dashing moves which imho take a while to set himself up for an attack after using them.

Sephiroth vs Squall is a fun one

but are brave rapists that specialize in two different forms of brave rape.

While sephi will try to zone out Squall and keep him from getting in close, squall will try to approach sephi in order to overcome him with his speed

brave rape on both sides
