Why are people always comparing in-game battle mechanics and the damage the characters do to show how powerful they are? It doesn't make the character any weaker if the game doesn't allow you to do 999,999,999 damage. :rolleyes2 I think Squall would win just because he's more trained. Tidus did become a guardian, but he still had no proper battle training, and he couldn't even lift the sword at the beginning of FFX. Tidus has some strong points too, such as his agility and speed. If this turned into a popularity contest, this may give you some kind of an idea about who's more popular.
