While I don't disagree with the outcome, I absolutely hate how they calculated Sephiroths strength. That was ridiculous, and made no sense.

What are your grievances with how they calculated their strength? Could you elaborate?

Gameplay mechanics like stats are usually bunk. Though that whole segment was a sort of playable cutscene with preset stats so I'd say it's in a bit of a gray area.

It's not really gray I'd say. The gameplay segment comes from Cloud's messed up memories of the event so those strength stats for Cloud are inaccurate to Zack's actual strength, not to mention it's from a completely different game and takes place during a scene that is inconsistent between the different interpretations.
