Okay, no flaming guys.
Perhaps, there should be a separate area where we can pit Characters against any type of characters ^-^

In real life. Both junction and materia work the same as they did on their respective worlds.

I am asking on FF7's threading to here plausible counters of Squall.

With materia and junction?
Without Materia and junction?
100%?

Well, with materia and junction, not using game breaking systems, I think Squall could win. Only cause he has more experience with his weapon, is smarter, and has more official training. (new thread Idea)

Without materia and junction? Well firstly, let's be serious. I don't give a damn what the game says, you should be able to use items without need to junction.
Hmm, hard one as it will be about skill. To me, Squall has more skill.
Cloud has more endurance and more strength persay due to his Mako, but overall, Lionheart wins all (jk kinda)

100%? Hmm, since we aren't going by game standards, I will say it may be a tie cause, I can't really say. The best I seen of Cloud and Squall is Omnislash and lionheart.
But Eden beats all FF7 summons in erms of destructive power if it was cannon. (She destroys earth, in a weird hyper beam thingy)
