They seemed to have gotten most things that I could complain about right; in a battle of edgy yet badass motherfuckers, they got the correct edgy badass winning.

Good shit, well animated, enjoyable fight.

Also, Sephiroth stomps both rounds of this fight pretty easily imho. Peak Sephi is arguably casual planet buster, regular Sephi is just all around too durable and strong.

first strength-saying that yamato cant cut a rocket launcher was complete PIS, vergil cuts up stone pillars and huge demons normally so unless this gun>stone pillars and huge demons then that should have been an outlier. seph should have lost his sword

speed-suppose that seph and vergil have equal speeds, why didnt vergil just teleport or dimension slash seph? if two people have equal speeds without teleporting, then the one with teleportation has a huge advantage. seph would have to defend against vergils strikes from virtually all sides as if he was fighting vergil from multiple angles if vergil just spammed his tp, yet they said that vergil was faster. seph should not have been able to defend against every strike.

seph is not casual planetbusting, if he was then what is the need for black materia?

He did say PEAK Seph is planet busting

i could argue even at peak hes not yet planetbusting, after all in the story you do stop him so his peak insnt exactly there yet.

i can understand someone saying his peak is planetbusting but its not casual. he def has to focus on the task

Yeah I agree, I dont think anyone in FF is a casual planetbuster because the scale of the stories never take it that far. Maybe the witch from ffVIII? Since shes like... collapsing all of time or whatever.

Yes, His Sword is capable of Cutting through stone pillars...Crumbling,Fragile,Centuries-old Stone Pillars.

but if youfurther examine the images, you will see that the cuts are clean and smooth. its not like he smashed them to dust. so vergil cutting crumblimg stone pillars cleanly should still show how stupid it was to say that vergil cant cut a metal gun.

Dude, I Played the games and while both Dante and Vergil are very strong and impressive at Fighting Demons They're Not as Powerful as Most Fans Hype them to be. Actually, I could recall many underwhelming showings that would make them lose to most Hack and Slash characters.

Sephiroth's Masamune is made of spirit energy. And he can teleport too.
