Oh yeah, now I remember.
But still, why was he able to beat Sephiroth? That doesn't really seem possible...

Hi, I'm God. May I take your order?
During the fight in the Mako reactor, five years before the game?
Sephiroth was wounded from Cloud's surprise attack a few mintues earlier. Also, Sephiroth stabbed Cloud holding his sword with one hand, and aiming back over his shoulder without looking. Very poor form. In addition to that, Cloud had other powers motivating him - rage, grief and love for all the people Sephiroth had murdered. People in that kind of situation an become powerful beyond belief, even for a short time. Sephiroth can't comprehend bonds of affection so strong as that, so he was completely caught off guard and overpowered.
