In FF7 Reno did have a few idiotic moments but he's still shown as a really badass character.....after all, he only gets taken down 3-on-1 in the first fight. But in advent children he just seems to be there so people can laugh at him and gets creamed by Yazoo when he doesn't even pull his gun. What's with this?
Also, the electro-mag rod in ff7 battles is always show to be about a metre long, while in ac it is much shorter and doesn't seem to be electrical at all.
