Who is stronger, Cloud or Zack?

That's... that's not a fabricated memory. The stuff you see in the Lifestream (once Tifa stops cutting in with corrections anyway) is accurate, i.e. Zack runs into the Jenova chamber and comes flying out like a bitch five seconds later. The whole point of that entire section is that by this time Cloud starts telling the truth.

Crisis Core retcons it and so you're still basically comparing Adam West Batman to Heath Ledger Joker. They don't belong together. I'm certainly not going to start playing a game of which retcon I do and don't agree with because I don't do retcon, full stop. Otherwise if you're agreeing with Crisis Core's rewrite of the backstory then you're agreeing with the rest of the Compilation's rewrite of Cloud, who sucks. And my comparison to Star Wars prequels blah-blah-blah you get it. If I must be called a "Genwunner" then fine.
