Final Fantasy 7 - Cloud omnislash vs Sephiroth

Probably the most iconic and shocking moment in gaming history (I own 600 games from 1990 to present)

I love these scene so much. As Cloud dives into the lifestream, he faces the real sephiroth, the man. They face each other, one on one and through the hardships he endured during his adventure, he had gained the strength to long surpass the shinra legend.

This is the kind of visual storytelling that set FFVII apart from anything else at the time.

Sephiroth is still standing in the end hahs

THIS is how you end a final boss.

"Not yet."

The sheer violence that Cloud unleashes on Sephiroth in this moment says everything about where these two stand by the end of the game.

There are no words that can say what a rage-fuelled limit break meter hands you Omnislash for the first time and you use it feels like.

The look they give each other before the final blow says they both know this is the end. Finally.

So epic!!!

"Knowing me, Cloud Strife, knowing you, Sephiroth Jenova. Aha."
- Last words spoken in FFVII

Most badass I’ve ever felt playing a game

So this just happened to me
I waited too long in this final encounter to make it a dramatic moment, he attacked me, i thought i legit died and would’ve had to do his long fights again but then cloud stroke back
Then I remembered i had counter materia on…
I wanted an omnislash!!!

This was only just the beginning

Perfect game

This scene is a masterpiece of art! It is unavoidable you are drawn to the Akira Kurasawa movies with the camera view zoomed into the eyes. This was later also used in the Sergio Leone movies.
It is the eyes and the face that the real battle takes place. Amazing how they used the same pattern in the remake.

I believe this is the origin of the word: ‘rekt’.

Best Finishing Move of all time for many generations to come 😎

Hola. ::::All are created by God. His one son died and revived afterwards to rid us of any wrong doing. His name is Jesus)::::: Breathe air

The first cut's always the deepest. 💯

i got to this fight on switch, was running speedup, he smacked me, got countered, and died....
f

GOAT Gettin' Murked Scene In Video Game History.

Holy shit those sound effects. There's "fuck you" energy in every one of those slashes.

I'd like to imagine Cloud yelling "AND THIS ONE IS FOR AERITH!" to Sephiroth as he lands the final blow.

Still one of the best moments in gaming

This is the "true final boss" of the game.

It's still awesome.

I love how they put way more detailed models of Cloud and Sephiroth in the game just for this one short scene right at the end. It’s the closest you could get at the time to playing the cutscene I imagine.

Such a badass moment to end a badass game

Crazy to thing that Squall’s Renzokuken Lionheart actually deals a fair amount more damage than this… not that I’d want to be on the receiving end of either.

This is the end.
Yeah. Yours.
Who the hell do you think you are?
I'm Cloud...never forget that.

The edge of creation

this moment you can almosttell in wich emotinal state Cloud is . Spoiler he is very angry .

Ok this is a weird thought that I had just a minute ago so I came to the video but has anyone ever tested not getting omni slash in the game and saying what would happen at the end I mean if you didn't have it would you still be able to do it or would it just be the simple counterattack the more lame ending Style?

most satisfying ending to any game

i nearly camed hearing those sfx, its too powerful

Brings me back to childhood. I beat this game at age 8 and this scene really hits hard.

Man I played the basketball game at cosmo canyon for hours just to get this limit break early

Oh Omni slash was literally cloud just swinging his sword like an absolute madman with zero skill, regard to his own safety or control. Just swinging for the god damn fences and wouldn't ya know it?
Sephiroth was just so stunned cuz he thought he "knew Cloud so well" or something.
In any other fight Sephiroth is typically shown ducking dodging parrying or simply overpowering Cloud and there is a clear skill gap.
Perhaps after thinking for so long ge knew Cloud so well this 'omnislash' simply caught Sephy off guard and after a uncharacteristically hard hit from Cloud followed by successive, wild haymakers of slices, Sephiroth just was utter stunned and couldn't come back?

fanfare music plays

So THAT'S where the shirtless alt comes from...

Oh the 811AB cloud vs 707A sephrio

What I like about this final confrontation or the original FFVII in general is that Cloud and Sephiroth are more on equals in a fight. Here, Cloud manages to damage and fatally wound Sephiroth by slashing till he bleeds.



Later in the compilation, Dissidia or the remake, Sephiroth becomes so overpowered that he often sends Cloud flying away and Cloud can’t even put a scratch on him. He constantly struggles to even keep up with Sephiroth. Even in Advent Children, Cloud’s Omnislash version 5/6 couldn’t even cut Sephiroth in half or make him bleed, Sephiroth was still able to talk, not even panting or in pain. He just disappeared.

This is FOR AERITH!!!

This definitely should've been referenced in The Loud house Episode Dream a lily Dream When they were fighting Flip as the last Monster

Manga: Abbacchio dies

Anime: Abbacchio dies

Netflix adaptation:

Better than remake.

Me and my girlfriend talked corona. She said she think she might had omni something and I was like:
Omnislash?
