Sephiroth VS Seifer

[Skyblade]

Actually, the only REAL one one one fight we see between Squall and Seifer is in the first FMV, where Seifer wins.

Actually they fight one on one at Deling, during the attempt to assassinate the Sorceress.

And Squall proceeds to open up a can of whoop-a$$ on the Chicken Wuss.

I meant in a real life, not in one of those battle scenarios where you are forced to win to advance.

Yet you accept the one where Seifer is forced to win in order to advance? Logical fallacy there, buddy. Seifer's victory there is as much preordained as Squall's victory every other time.

Besides, Seifer didn't really "win". He cheated by using his limit against Squall, and Squall immediately countered. Both wound up with nearly identical scars, so I don't see why people keep saying that Squall lost.

1. FMV and battle are two different things. Both are preordained victories, but one of them you are forced to lose. Even early on in the game, you can easily compare the two of them and see that Seifer is much better. Besides, battle KO and real life videogame death are two different things. (ie Aeris and General Leo vs. using a Phoenix Down)
And how is using a Limit Break cheating?

2. Squall ended up in the infirmary.

If somehow Squall would "win" the battle with Seifer, your game would be over as surely as if you lost in battle, because a glitch that bad would totally freeze the game. Um, how can you see that Seifer is better? The FMV was a fight with set rules that Seifer broke. You are not supposed to actually harm your sparring partner. Fairly standard for training matches. The two were fencing, and Seifer got the touch. You don't then follow up and actually drive your sword through your opponent. Hell, Seifer doesn't even deny that he cheated when they get to Dollet. He just says that Squall will thank him for it one day. Squall was following the rules, and Seifer wasn't. That doesn't mean Squall is any less capable than Seifer. And since Seifer gets a royal @$$ kicking every other time they meet, it seems fairly clear that when both characters are playing by the same rules, Seifer is no match for Squall.

2. Having the sense to go to the infirmary when you get your face torn open has nothing to do with the outcome of the match. Seifer prefers to play it tough. Well, one day one of Seifer's wounds will get infected and he'll wind up dead because of his refusal to see the doctor. Common sense is a survival trait, and it is one that Seifer lacks.
