FF7 Rebirth Cloud Vs Sephiroth Hard Mode (No Damage) 

Lol

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Cloud: Aerith! You ready!? Aerith: (Slap Cloud) How could I when you turned me into a frog you chocobo head idiot! Cloud: Huh??...Oh..errr...I....crap 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

🤣🤣Cloud got frog support

I’m so glad the devs took the time to make sure that the frogs still contribute to dialogue

Ribbit ribbit

Rebirth is just a preview of his demise lol

I mean, we fight his main form in rebirth and there's way too many changes in this game that appears before we are supposed to be at that part. I think it would be redundant to fight him a third time. They should make it to where he becomes good and they fight Weiss and Nero at their full strength. That's the only thing that makes sense to do at this point because of what they did to Sonon.

@@kevinburke1325 lol joined by sora donald and goofy right? 😂

@@kevinburke1325the COPIUM of the Re-sequel fans is boundless. Part 3 will be Sephiroth again. Except Super Nova will now be a gigantic meteoric Whisper Ball that will make the characters “whisper cringe” for 20 minutes straight.

@josetomascamposrobledano4618 the jokes on you because Square Enix still hasn't fixed the can't stop won't stop sidequest and I already platinumed a whole bunch of games so if they make Sephiroth the final boss again, then I am simply not playing the third game. Already, the second game has drained me with all the minigames and Chadley stuff. If that's all Square Enix has to offer then I and many others are walking away. I done beat Sephiroth and honestly not even sure where Square Enix's heading anymore. After the ending though, they changed a lot before it was even supposed to happen. Plus, they said they were adding rocket town AFTER meeting Cid. At that point, why even bother? I am genuinely confused by the direction Square Enix is going with this game. That's why I came up with what I did.

This is true. Same thing i did. Got frustrated with all these builds on YT and died a hundred times. I eventually just learned to dodge, counter and hit when the opportunity comes ala devil may cry. No more gimicky builds just straight up fought Sephy like a real man and healed myself when needed. Beat him finally

Practice makes perfect

@@cloudcs That doesn’t make sense because I’ve been playing video games all my life

It's just understanding the block mechanics and maximising damage output during stagger.

Lol so true

Thanks. I also struggled with this fight in dynamic but with practice you will ace it

Beautiful

Zack: my legacy...live on

Zack: my legacy...kicks ass yo! 😆

lmaooooo an "untrue fact"

That’s a bit sussy! *votes* 😅 (just kidding)

I like your idea but I am still leaning towards no materia where possible coz I just like being a crazy madman lol. But I still can give your 'half' materia idea a run

Dang can't wait to play those 2 again!

Lol😆

Haha he deserved it lol

@@cloudcs As someone who was wrecked by him so many times on my first playthrough in the last phase, this was so satisfying to watch👍

Nope. Didn't have that battle recorded since I only record solo or duo run. Can't do either of that for the Lifeclinger battle

Maybe. We'll see

Perfect punisher block renders you immune to damage from parry till end of counter animation. I block his first sword attack and did nothing for the rest of the combo so that Cloud remains in the counter animation longer thus remains invulnerable to damage. I did not tap R1 at this point of time. You can cancel his punisher parry halfway by tapping R1 but if you timed it incorrectly, you will take some damage. So I just wait till Sephiroth lands his last combo where my punisher counter animation is about to end (when Cloud gets up and raise his sword) and tap R1 at that exact moment to nullify any incoming damage. Hope this answers your question

@@cloudcs it does thank you.

🤣

Beats me I have no idea either

no t too sure tbh been wondering but i'd say from the feel of it, if the window is 200ms it changes 250 or even 300. definitely feels like a huge increase close to 50% or maybe 33%?

Depends on what sort of moves enemies use and the attack speed. I use Triangle and R1 depending on what mode I am in. If in operator, I use triangle to parry incoming attack. If in punisher, I just tap R1

Yes skewer is one of his binding move. Max level precision defense focus allows you to negate bound move if you time your block/parry correctly. Non-binding unblockable moves will ignore precision defense focus

@@cloudcs I see, it's kind of funny because it's a little misleading since it's still a sword attack, but since his sword is impaling you and you're stuck in place it's technically binding lol. It's a great attention to detail. I'm glad precision defense still doesn't work on other unblockable attacks, the combat is more varied when you require multiple defensive options instead of just parrying everything.

Gotta balance things out or you're gonna break the game in half lol

That takes a lot of practice. I also struggled figuring out the timing when I started. After pinning down the enemy's attack pattern and several trial and error, I just sort of 'feel' the timing. I no longer think consciously and it becomes a subconscious, muscle reflex action once it becomes second nature. Granted I still screw up once in a while

By having level 3 Precision Defense Focus materia equipped. If you timed your block perfectly, it will ignore bound move so that's how I can counter that move in question

I had level 3 Precision Defense Focus materia equipped which allows me to parry bound move if timed correctly

@@cloudcs Fk, thats clever. True, that parry materia on max level allows it. Amazing!!

I can never seem to parry the binding attacks its annoying lol

You have to time it split second before it lands. Do you have level 3 Precision Defense Focus materia equipped?

All my materia maxed ive done nearly all the hard challenges bar like 3 of em and yeah i have it on just can't seem to get the timing i see its a binding move n maybe just panic n dont wait to see when the attacks actually coming and theres so many enemies that do em its just hard to tell when your engrossed in doing everything else at the same time too your defo good the cloud gameplay so satisfying in this game nice to see people that can actually play it good

Thanks!

It gives you Bravery and Faith as well, it doesn’t last as long as the versions from the Empowerment materia though.

it essentially gives you faith bravery for free

Like what these guys said. It grants free Bravery and Faith to give your physical and magic attack a massive damage boost. They are always a good addition to Prime Mode berserk for an even crazier damage number

By equipping level 3 Precision Defense Focus (PDF) materia. This allows you to parry bound move. Skewer is one of Sephy's bound move and with the said materia equipped you can parry it with correct timing. The red '!' ability that cannot be parried even with level 3 PDF materia are the non-binding moves like Errant Whisper for instance

@@cloudcs oh i see! I have seen your gameplay for quite a while, and sometimes you apply counterstance after a normal parry. Is there a “good” time/situation to use counterstance instead of normal parry twice?

It's kinda hard for me to explain coz I just go by feel and experience of the enemy's attack pattern so I sort of 'know' if I should stick with punisher parry or combo it together with Counterstance. One thing for certain is that punisher parry becomes useless if enemies start spamming range and magic attacks. This is the time Counterstance shines the most on top of its higher damage output

@@cloudcs ah I see thanks for the insight! Really glad to see expert players like you taking time to answer noob questions and offer advice so patiently. Seeing your gameplay inspires me to reach a similar level some day 😁

I am not a monster. Cloud is. I just control him and he does the rest lol😂

The Precision Defense materia, if mastered, lets you precision-block against otherwise unblockable attacks. I believe this extends to Cloud's Punisher and Counterstance parries as well.

@@perrycarters3113 It only allows you to block bound move, and yes it extends to punisher block and Counterstance

@@cloudcs That's it. But I mean yeah, that works on Skewer which is kinda clutch.

I have no clue

Eventually yeah. Just gotta take my time preparing for it

@@cloudcs I wish you good luck and good mental health…cause those challenges gonna worn the hell out of you.

I think it's the combination of prime mode, sonic boom, strength up materia, elemental materia and igneous saber that allowed my braver to do 9999

It’s easy Difficulty 😂

This is hard mode. The item option is greyed out when I open the commands menu. Dunno where ppl got the idea you can't use items on easy lol

@@cloudcsHe’s a hater ignore him.

@@cloudcsIt’s probably Sephiroth’s alt mad that you cooked him in under 2 minutes

haha

I equipped her with enfeeblement ring

Depends on your personal playstyle. If you prefer playing with magic Rune Blade is the right fit. Want to build your Cloud as an ATB machine that hits hard with physical attack and doesn't compromise too much on magic? Sleek Saber is the beast. Want the hybrid style? Buster Sword and, arguably, Umbral Blade, can get the job done. Want to build your limit faster or you casts a lot of debuff on enemies? Igneous Saber will do the job. Crit build? Crystal Sword is your friend.

Lol

No worries mate you'll get him with plenty of practice and experience👍

@@cloudcs thank you!!

Now that's nuts...Sephiroth staggering himself???

@@cloudcs it seems so I can't understand. if you can watch optinoob video. maybe I miss a little detail

@@cloudcs ok my bad, don't why the video to me skipped a frame, he just uses firaga in front of him and dies. It was very strange in fact. mistery resolved

😂😂😂😂I am awful at fighting him coz I suck at using Barret and Red lol

I just beat that stupid thing finally….

Great job dude!

It grants bravery and faith upon application, greatly boosting physical and magic damage by a significant amount. Stack it with Prime Mode berserk Cloud turns into a killing machine lol

@@cloudcs i never see that lmao i gonna try it

@@cloudcsI thought it casted barrier?

Nope it doesn't cast barrier

What necklace?

@@cloudcs I forget what it’s called but u get them from doing the frog mini games that lets u start off with the toad effect I always wondered why would you want to

Oh u mean enfeeblement ring

@@cloudcs yes that’s the one

Lol nice user name

@@cloudcs much appreciated sir

I have no idea what plot twist they're trying to pull off

Schrödingers Aerith, alive and dead until we see what really is happening in part 3.

Maybe she will intervene to aid the party but only Cloud can see her?

@@cloudcs Here’s my thoughts. I’m pretty sure she is dead in one timeline but alive in the other. But at the end of rebirth it looks like the timelines DID merge. And Sephiroth was successful. Now specifically the people who were victims of Sephiroth’s timeline merge stuff during the final boss of rebirth (Zack, Aerith, Cloud) are able to see the timeline rip in the sky. Aerith died in Cloud’s timeline because the whispers undid Cloud’s deflect of the masamune. Just like how they undid Barrett’s death in remake, barrett wasn’t supposed to die, so they revived him. Aerith lived but was destined to die, so the whispers made sure her fate remained the same. But the Aerith from Zack’s universe is still alive, and is presumably the one we see at the end of the game (The Aerith in this final battle with Sephiroth is the Aerith that died, this is just her spirit helping Cloud.) The rest of the party can’t see the living Aerith because she’s in a different timeline. Just like how they can’t see the crack in the sky. But Cloud can. And Cloud can see this living version of Aerith in this timeline. Basically, the events happening in one timeline are happening in the other timelines (Aerith being present vs not, but both happening concurrently, she is both there for Cloud but and not there for anyone else) And also based on Sephiroth casting meteor in the final battle in Zack’s timeline, it’s safe to say that most of the timelines were eradicated by Sephiroth casting meteor EXCEPT in our timeline.

I equipped her with enfeeblement ring

😂😂She is there to support Cloud...as a toad lol

​@@cloudcsI saw this late morning and I have so many questions, Like why is Aerith a toad? But my sleep paralysis monster was like "Hold up, let him cook and see what's what." And omg it look so easy to use. She can't get skewered for one and Sephiroth is locked in on Cloud... well.. was locked in until Cloud fought back😂 That is impressive! I just got done playing Rebirth last Friday night and it was amazing.

I equipped enfeeblement ring on Aerith before initiating the battle with Jenova Lifeclinger, hence why she's a toad

@@cloudcs I have that item.

😂

Plot twist maybe

@@cloudcs one thing is making a Ff7 Remake following the steps and storyline, other thing is twist the story and put an enemy that shouldn't supose to show up right now. Look the example of Resident Evil 1 Remake by Capcom, Shinji Mikami when made that Remake he didn't twist or stay far from the storyline, on contrair e he remained everything on that game and add new places and new defense mechanic without ruining the storyline of the game and that's why is still continue saying is 1 of the best remakes because is loyal to the first RE1 game classic. This is an example of a good Remake.

who cares

It's a remake, not a remaster it's a retelling of the story

@@redblood4059 the word you mean is reimaginate not Remake! Same happen to Resident evil 3 reminaginate and not remake
