I don't understand why people like this web series, it's always painfully one sided. I love Link, but lets be honest, Cloud would break him in two. This is like having Garrus fight Goku. Sure I love Garrus more, and he's a way better character, but I could never pretend he'd actually beat Goku in a fight.
How does a Hylian Shield protect against a 360 degree sword attack? How does the actual shield itself sustain the pressure of Clouds attack when Cloud is able to easily destroy metal robots and tanks? We see him cut through entire buildings in the movie for fucks sake. Why is Cloud loaded out with his worst equipment when Link has all his items from every game? Even with that taken into account, shouldn't Clouds fire ignite Link, or his lightning cause damage, seeing as a metal shield would conduct electricity? And those are the worst materia attacks in the game. If you brought in the more robust materia then it's over.
If you master materia use then the game is effectively broken with how strong the characters are. Do you want to Mime infinite Omnislash? Go ahead.
I don't even think FF7 is necessarily better, I consider it about equal to OoT. But you can't pretend Cloud isn't ridiculously overpowered. You can say they were trying to make them more of an equal match, but that defeats the point of the video, doesn't it?
Not all of the episodes are painfully one sided. I do admit though, there is a large amount of bullshit in some of them.
Goku Vs. Supes and Lion-O Vs. He-Man were both one-sided from the start, thanks to one set of characters having to struggle to win (Goku and Lion-O) in all of their stories, showing dedication and hard work (and some intelligent thinking). While the Other set (Supes and He-Man) are lazy archetypical power fantasies, where the writers decide just how powerful they want them to be. And fun fact here, but too much Sun can kill superman. The very same source they get his "strength" rating from was also the same animated film that had him dying from being supercharged with sunlight, and that supercharge is where he got that strength from.
Then there is this.
They very clearly went all for one, and nothing for the other. Dissidia shown off about as close a fighting style he'd have, which they didn't bother to represent, and the fact they limited his limit-break skills to a small bit of uses despite being shown in Advent Children using all but Omnislash regularly. Yet with Link they decided to cherry-pick his information.
I like both characters, I thought the fight would be interesting. It was lazily done though. Much like how the Superman Vs Goku fight was lazily done.
