so you are saying that cloud should not be allowed to cast simply because he is (by opinion i might add) generalized as a nothing but "melee" character? sorry i do not see that as a strong nor valid argument at all

and maybe YOU should read more carefully as i never said it was less powerful simply cuz its from mmx1 but that i seriously doubt that attack is powerful enough to damage Cloud
if you had read my previous large summary and some prior comments you would have seen the reasoning.. normal maverick attacks are effective for damage on bosses with the particular weakness but not much on others
