User blog comment:Friendlysociopath/My Problems with Link vs Cloud/@comment-27347152-20170310223233

Let's refute this fanboy hate, shall we?


 * 1: This wasn't Composite Link. Link is reborn in Hyrule when the previous one dies, and the previous Link's skills are passed through the Triforce of Courage. Its the same Link over and over, not multiple ones combined.


 * 2: Cloud is an emo-boy. Deal with it.


 * 3: THIS is one that most dumbass fanboys can't understand. Link's, and Cloud's, respective arsenals are entirely customizable by the player. With so many possibilities, they had to use a source where their arsenals weren't controlled by the player, so they wouldn't have to rely on assumptions. Link had better equipment in Smash than Cloud did in Dissidia, enough said.


 * 4: The advantages and disadvantages were correct on both sides. Cloud has cells from an evil parasite in him, he's vulnerable to the Master Sword. Link is the smarter fighter with better options. Btw, the Master Sword is known as "The Blade of EVIL'S Bane," so that argument is dead


 * 5: Speed isn't a guaranteed victory as proven by DK vs Knuckles. And, once again, SA had to use Dissidia to find what materia Cloud prefers to cut down on assumptions. Plus, Dissidia was used ONLY to determine arsenal, but if you want EVERY aspect of Dissidia used, then every aspect of Smash would have to be used for Link. That includes ALL items, and Smash Balls. Also, Kingdom Hearts isn't canon to FF7, so stfu


 * 6: You, like all other fanboys, forget the one piece of equipment Link has that makes Cloud's damage output negligible (aside from the UNBREAKABLE (at that time) Hylian Shield), the Red Ring. The Red Ring reduces damage by 75%, meaning Link only receives one-quarter damage from all sources, and the Shield patches the rest. Plus, Cloud is only that strong BECAUSE of the cells of the evil, planet-eating parasite in him. Once the cells were nullified by the Master Sword, Cloud became weak.

Argument invalid. Have a nice day
