In terms of overall power and skill, this my opinion of the power hierarchy, according to plot, of the Organization members at Castle Oblivion. For those who dislike power hierarchies, this is probably just a habit from my Dragon Ball Z forum days. I still like the fact that in many other games, combatants have special advantages that can make the fight go either way. I just saw a possible chain here and thought it was worth posting
Axel > Marluxia > Lexaeus > Vexen > Larxene > Zexion
1. Axel
-Original CoM: Marluxia felt the need to use Namine as a human shield to halt Axel's attack
- 358/2 Days: Saix ordered Axel to dispose of the traitors at Oblivion and expected the job to be done without too much difficulty
- Re CoM: Marluxia and Axel have a nice battle but it's still clear that Marluxia can't overpower Axel
2. Marluxia
- Vexen constantly talked back to Axel and Larxene, but stood down when Marluxia confronted him. (could've been both versions maybe)
- Riku comments that a strong power had disappeared when he was close to the lowest basement level. This was Marluxia. After facing Lexaeus, Riku still refers to Marluxia as strong, and by the way the line was presented, it seems that Riku thought Marluxia was stronger than Lexaeus
3. Lexaeus
- Implied to be more powerful than Vexen, the enforcer of the basement Organization squad
- Lexaeus almost caused Riku to lose, whereas Zexion and Vexen weren't as challenging
4. Vexen
- Marluxia sent Axel to eliminate Vexen b/c he was afraid that Vexen would either defeat Sora or divulge the secret behind Namine's memory magic (can't remember which was which, it's been a while)
- Sora and company weren't as exhausted after defeating Larxene as they were when battling Vexen
5. Larxene
- No discernible battle traits that would put her above the aforementioned. The first battle, she was holding back. The second battle, she decided to attack Sora when he was winded from the Riku-Replica fight. After he was restored, the scene shows her being defeated with Sora relatively unaffected
6. Zexion
- Original CoM: Didn't fight Riku much or at all IIRC
- Re Com: He was defeated much easier than was Lexaeus
