Seriously, Sky, you wouldn't prefer this:
In Battle
Cloud in Action
Super-realistically deformed
Sephy in Action
Sephy-deformed
Super-FMV-Deformed

By the way, I also think Cloud should have different stances for different sword sizes. I think he should carry the shorter swords like Hardedge and Mythril Saber should be slung over his shoulder until he's ready to attack. The Yoshiyuki and Murasame (and hopefully they'll add a third 'cause katanas are must) should be held at his hip and he should Iaido strike on approach to the enemy. Broadswords would be wielded the typical way Cloud does.
