A friend and I have been arguing this for a while, and though he doesn't believe Sora could win, I think that by the end of Kingdom Hearts II he could, for a few reasons. For one, due to the fact that Sephiroth was practically a god at the end of Final Fantasy VII, I do not think Cloud would honestly win that fight, it was more of a story progression than a true victory it seems, which would mean Cloud doesn't possess god-like strength. That said I have never played FF VII so I can not be too sure, don't hate me if I'm wrong.
However a lot of people seem to use the fact that Cloud can cut through buildings, has a giant sword, and amazing strength as their main reasons. Although by the end of KHII Sora can slice through buildings, has amazing strength, and great agility, I feel he could easily evade most of Cloud's attacks. Sora also only uses MP for magic while Cloud uses Materia, which is limited due to the damage it causes, I think. The reason this is in the KHII section is because I believe Sora could beat cloud by the end of the game.
Sora has forms as well, but without his friends fighting at his side he could only use his Limit Form. It doesn't seem fair for Sora to have his friends unless Cloud can have teammates. Meanwhile on Cloud's end we have a ribbon that prevents status effects and decreases damage taken from magic, and I'm sure he has other things going for him I don't know about.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Sora would demolish Cloud, but by the end of KHII I feel like the close battle between the two would result in Sora being the victor, however from what I've seen of KHIII it seems the battle would be easier then for Sora due to his mastery and abilities to transform the keyblade along with his previous strength. And I don't think Sora could beat Sephiroth truthfully, as I don't think Cloud could, Sephiroth was a god. Anyways, what are your opinions on this, who would win, Cloud or Sora?
