I may be banned soon for doing this. Deservedly so. Still, I Zel Melee was always my favorite forum and I wanted to start off this new way of doing things.

Sephiroth's "Wall" blocks against both Magic and Physical attacks, whereas Kuja is confined to just "Reflect" which repels Magic. With this on, no Curaga should be used, obviously, because it would simply help Sephiroth.

Kuja needs to maintain distance between himself and Sephiroth. The Massamune could be used against him, and since he has no weapon of his own, a close-quaters battle only makes the battle that much tougher for him.

The Funhouse might crumble with the magic attacks flying around, demolishing walls and pillars. So, both would have to avoid falling objects.

It's almost dead even magic-wise. Both their attacks are equally destructive and devastating.

Kuja could use Ultima, or even Flare Star, both large-range attacks that would attack all the areas around Sephiroth. However, Sephiroth's Supernova and Stigma attack a large area as well.

It's almost dead even.

I agree with you Necromancer I do believe that they are pretty evenly matched. Though I say that Sephiroth would end up pulling the majority. I mean Kuja has two forms, regular, and Trance, Sephiroth has three, which are regular, Bizarro, and Safer. Though Kuja's Ultima was one bad move, it could totally incapacitate the entire team in Final Fantasy 9 and it destroyed the planet Terra! Still though you can use the spell Ultima on Sephiroth in Final Fantasy 7 and he seems to handle the move okay, so I say he would have enough durability to last quite awhile against Kuja's magic.

Sephiroth does not have three forms. He has one, and that is himself. When he was taken over by Jenova, he was given the ability to turn into those three forms, but not normally.

This was all very meticulously covered in an old Sephiroth battle during the second tournament. I think it is like 4 months back in this Forum if you want to reference it. Actually, I'll find it and edit this post for reference now:

Well when I think of Sephrioth I think of him fighting while being controlled by Jenova. However if the fight is just Sephiroth against Kuja without help from Jenova then I could see things easily pull into the favor of the Genome.

Sephiroth without Jenova is actually better. Given Jenova's strength, power and wisdom, but lacking her control, Sephiroth is deadly.

Kuja could still win though. Not fast, but like I said, if he simply repels Sephiroth with powerful magic, he cannot be beat. Still, Sephiroth has a large chance of getting near Kuja and decapitating him. Kuja has Ultima and Flare Star, but Sephiroth appears to be able to fly and teleport. Using a destructive spell like one of thos very near his own person could result in a Double KO.

I'm backing Kuja, but I can argue myself all I like. That's not the point of this battle. Someone else post a good, lengthy battle plan for Sephiroth.

P.S. Don't call him a Genome. I doubt he likes being lumped in with mindless beings...thatt includes Zidane.
