Cloud was holding back all match. He had a VERY HEAVY sword all battle long, moving it fast and nonstop jumping, wile Sephiroth has a VERY LIGHT sword making him have an advantage. Cloud have many swords in his own sword, making it difficult to use.
OVERALL: CLOUD IS STRONGER (I wish it was Sephiroth!)
-------
Now for intelligence, cloud all was better on that. Even though Sephiroth's brilliant plan of taking Cloud into the building wile Sephiroth weakens the building from the inside so later on it could easily fall, is pretty smart, Cloud can think fast at most situations, and even prepare for the worst, get Sephiroth in the air at the end for a perfect chance to use the limit break.
OVERALL: CLOUD IS SMARTER (Not again!)
_____________
So even though I wish Sephiroth would have won and I still say Sephiroth is cooler. I think cloud got a lot of good training and deserved this victory.
FINAL OVERALL: CLOUD IS BETTER (For now!)
