IF they were fighting alone, as we see they do in the starting movie, it would pry end up into draw, as we see in the starting movie, 'cos Squall is more, so to say, furious or spirited fighter, but Seifer 'fights dirty' aka uses whatever technique available. Do some people really call that cheating? When you're fighting for your life u will do right like seifer (cheat?) and if u never fight with full potential u won't know how much u are able to do. If u don't know your potential, u won't be able to use it.
BTW, Seifer uses Fire Cross (limit break) and Squall counters with Rough Divide (limit break). So, sure everyone must agree they both 'cheat'. And I don't think that kind of cheating is bad, but just in case someone says something like: "Squally cheated only because big bad Seifer started it" I would want to ask 'If your friend jumps into well and kicks the bucket, u see it and follow her, won't u be even more stupid than your friend, may she rest in peace?'
Okay, quess that is all i am able to explain in english. Ain't that just too bad there are no topics like this in FFFin forums.
Seifer is survivor, Squall is 'fair fighter' who bites the dust if he has to fight alone for his life.
If this post o'mine makes someone angry, i want to apologise. It might be 'cos my mother tongue isn't english and thus I have not been able to explain myself properly. Plus that I'm a n00b.
