Cloud vs. Zidane
Winner: Zidane
Zidane is a dagger wielder and he moves way too fast for Cloud's massive sword to reach. While Cloud moves quickly in Advent Children, assuming an equal level of growth and prowess Zidane would be moving faster still, and Cloud's weapon is just too damn big for him to get in a decent hit on Zidane. It might take Zidane quite a bit of time using hit and run tactics, but he wins out overall.
Vincent vs. Amarant
Vincent. Gun wounds are brutal and Amarant's close range focus and limited throw range make him an easy target for successive sniping by Vincent.
Cid vs. Freya
Freya. This one is a judgement by world and by apparent training. Freya is a warrior trained exclusively in the use of a spear. Cid is a pilot who happens to know how to use a Spear.
Aeris vs. Garnet
I'm going with Garnet on this one because she is a natural summoner. Aeris can have summon materia equipped, yes, but I'm going to give it to Garnet given that Garnet's ability to summon is limited only to her MP.
Yuffie vs. Eiko
Eiko. Ninja tricks pale in comparison to the Holy spell and Eiko's own Eidolons.
Barret vs. Steiner
Barret. Bullets have the force and propulsion to penetrate heavier armor, and have greater range than Steiner's sword. Not to mention the fact that Steiner is too slow to get close enough to Barret to do any damage.
Tifa vs. Vivi
Vivi. If a warrior faces a spellcaster and both go all-out, the spellcaster will win simply because they have a much higher damage output, range, and variety between their attacks. The limits of a spellcaster is that they have a limited MP which forces you to use it sparingly in normal battles. In this case, Vivi would drain all of his MP to win, and Tifa wouldn't stand a chance.
Red XIII vs. Quina
This is an interesting one but I'm going to give it to Red XIII, because he's a lot faster than Quina is. Quina's Blue Magic is potent, but with Red XIII's own magical prowess and sheer speed he would win out eventually.
About Cloud VS Zidane:
I disagree, the hit rate Omnislash can does is high, it's impossible to avoid, Zidane is pathetic.
About Cid VS Freya:
hm, I might reconsider this...
Yuffie VS Eiko:
hm, this is one is tough, Yuffie have a high evade rate and very fast, while Eiko's magic is strong, In FFIX, you can avoid magic, so Yuffie is teh best choice, summon isn't a factor, Eiko's summon is pathetic, Garnet summon is the best (I prefer Yuna).
Tifa VS Vivi:
Tifa will win, Tifa is a fighter, fighter use less MP. Fighter attack are pretty decent, so Tifa can stilll strike Vivi easily.
this fight is boring, I want FFVII VS FFVIII !!!
