Yeah, I started writing that post before yours showed up. I had forgotten about that.

Although I still can't say for sure if Cloud or Squall would win in a "story strength" battle. I do believe Squall is far above average, considering he masters a weapon that most people consider ridiculous and impossible to wield (at least IRL). And yet there's no doubt that Cloud is on a very high level as well - plus the Buster Sword...
