I think yes, Xemnes was much stronger then Xehonort. I mean, c'mon, all the other Nobodies proved to be stronger then the original selfs or their heartless. Right. Well except for Roxas vs Sora. Sora powned Roxas with some difficulty.
Who do you was more powerful. I looked at my friend fight Xemnes at the end of KH2. He had incredible speed and power. But I saw nothing of that come from Xehonort's Heartless in KH1 Is it true the Xehonort is stronger as a nobody?
Who, in the Kingdom Heart series, would you make the fourth member for the Organization. And make and anagram of their name Ex. Ansem = Xemnes. Try it!
I'd still say Cloud would win, and only because that Cloud's strategic mind had been scared with his last encounter with Sephiroth (Advent Children). And because he obviously has more strength.
This battle seems pretty close... right??? Well it not. Cloud would stay his ground while Leon would run straight for Sephiroth (not a good idea, because Sephiroth would pull off one of those horizontal strikes that would take a quarter of his life.) Than while Leon distracts (well not really) Sephiroth, Cloud would Sonic Blade Sephiroth
Spoiler 1:
Cloud got through the Sonic Blade combo and take no life.
OR
Spoiler 2:
While Sephiroth it taking another shot at Leon he accidentally parries Cloud's Sonic Blade and leave Cloud for a wide open assault
Anyways, Leon eventually gets a hit in or uses his magical power gun blade and gets a lucky hit in but eventually dies because of his AI's stupidity and Clouds left to fend for himself. Cloud would actually fend well against Sephiroth and would get him at least to halve the pink bar than Sephiroth would pull some awersome shiz-nit and pown Cloud
This is my own personal guide to the most amazing game in the history of Roll Playing Games; Kingdom Hearts. I will create it into parts seeing how I can hardly remember the first part, lol, but I will try.
This Guide is based on the Normalsetting.
Chapter 1: Awakening
After the intro movie you will be transported to the tutorial world. After listening to the instructions you will be sent to an area were you must choose a weapon (which will result the increase of a primary stat.) For me I choose the Dream Shield as a weapon and I give up the Dream Rod. When you choose the Dream Shield your defense will be your primary stat which will really give you an advantage against stronger foes and do not worry about your strength. Instead of having weak strength you gave up your Dream Rod which give a moderate amount of strength. After that finish up the tutorial, save, and continue up to the floating stairway and into your first boss battle.
Darkside
Strategy: First allow him to slam his fist into the ground but stay clear if he hits you your HP will drop dangerously low. If you are not hit by the fist of Darkside than you should have no reason to use the potions you obtained earlier. When his hand is in range, keep pounding it with the Dream Shield. Air Combos and regular Combos, when on ground, are great. Take some time to fight the Shadows that appear from the puddle of darkness. You should level up once from the previous fighting of Shadows on the lower levels. When you level up once continue destroying Darkside's hand. Eventually he will submit into defeat you should level up again. After defeating Darkside watch the cut scene and continue to Destiny Island.
Alright. I really have no right to review a game that I haven't even skimmed the surface of but, I'd like to point out that there are some very irritating flaws, well, not flaws but... ...differences in the game than the original Kingdom Hearts. It's just that. I have had not one; one on one fight with anyone in the game so far (with Sora). I would like to have an open battlefield and I'd love to pummel Pete; by... my... self...
But no, we have the giant ****** ('cuze my French) Goofy and the incredibly pathetic and weak Donald. I'd love to take the game on myself; just me and Sora. And for some reason. Donald and Goof were much... MUCH! Cooler in the first KH. And I'd like to bring back their great aptitude. (Sorry if I used that in the wrong context) I want the original combos for Sora some fast paced action. Man, It make me utter the words. Maybe Roxas would have been a better Protagonist than Sora. What'dya guyz think? Oh! And... that waz my review...
