Chars you thought you werent going to use.

As a fan of fighting games, I aimed to master every single character of the game

I've used Garland, Warrior of Light, Firion, Cloud, Exdeath, Jecht..., I thought it was funny that in an arcade battle I happened to fight Ultimecia as the final using Palamecia. I had been thinking about it the whole time I was playing "Who would win as Ultimecia is basically Cloud of Darkness and Palamecia combined?"
My favorite characters tend to be those with automatic combos like Jecht. I seriously need to play as Sephiroth. He is damn annoying as an enemy.

I tried using all the other chars and only Cloud seems to be the best choice for me.

I really like his Brave to HP attacks combo

Forward Dash --> Slash --> Omni Slash Version 5

Easy and straightforward for my taste.

You would like Onion Knight as well then. He is very fast and when you master any of his brave attacks they all branch to both a follow up brave attack then HP attacks.

I was messing around with Kefka today. He is just so much fun to play around with, since so many of his attacks defy common sense, like his meteors that bounce back after hitting the ground to attack. And in EX mode all of them get even more chaotic and unpredictable

Also I found myself playing Shantoto a lot lately. Pupu is her best friend, because once her brave gets above 3000, her attacks start getting mean, and above 6000 they are beyond cruel. Also her bio attack almost always will break the foes brave if they commect an HP attack while it is in effect

There were several characters I thought I wouldn't even touch for a very long time but I ended using them quite often.

Kefka was one of them. I always liked Kefka in a strange kind of way - despite having a huge dislike to clowns - but I didn't really think I would be able to control him and use him to his best ability. I ended up trying him out randomly and I loved how fun he was to control, not only that I love watching how he walks/runs/prances around the stage - It makes me chuckle everytime

Zidane was one that really surprised me. Out of the characters that were chosen to be used he was perhaps one that I liked least (I just never really connected with him during IX) so I was surprised to find that I quite enjoyed using him.
