Welp... I didn't bring it up but since it was:

Cloud moves faster than bullets as shown in Last Order; Cloud can literally move his entire body faster than a bullet travels. Link tops out at arrow-timing. Even assuming Link moved as fast as an arrow (and he doesn't) Cloud would be 10x faster than him. If Cloud were only 2x faster Link would never touch him. Factoring in the exact equipment Link and Cloud had- Cloud "should have" won by sheer speed alone.

Match Starts

Cloud and Link both see one another and ready their weapons

slash

Cloud has already closed the distance and cut Link in half.

And don't even pretend like they didn't set Cloud up for failure against Link

"Cloud relies on brute force and doesn't use technique"

Cloud dual-wields in Advent Children bro, dual-wielding requires more finesse and skill than Sword and Board ever will
