Vader's abilities work faster than Sephiroth's, THAT is why he will win. Demigods have been slain by mortals before, so have full-fledged deities. Bane, Bhaal, Cyric, Myrkul, Kelemvor (I won't say Raistlin again......we already know he did)..........all of them slew gods before. Nothing, not even the gods, are unkillable.

Who brought up the Bolt3 analogy in the first place?

Is Sephiroth somehow immune to being choked? Vader can just reach out and crush Sephi's windpipe with the Force.....

Do you not remember the last form of Sephiroth, which was half-fused with the life force of the planet?

Of course he's immune to being choked. He's immune to being stabbed in the head by a 7 foot sword, too... until it happens about three hundred times. He was also enclosed in solid materia. I didn't see any air holes in that... it seems he doesn't need oxygen at that point.

Plus, I'm not sure where you get the idea that vader's abilities are faster than Sephiroth's. If you go by stats/battle system, he's able to cast nigh-instantaneously, and fast as hell. If you go by animation it takes SEPHIROTH as long as it takes for him to swing his sword, which is also nigh-instantaneous, to cast a spell.

Only summons take time, and even those, for sephiroth, would only be him swinging his sword and then disappearing.

Or, in his final form, his spells are completely instant. The only animation is the animation of the spell actually happening, he doesn't have to do anything to activate it.

Look, what this fight boils down to is nobody wants Darth Vader, bad-ass among bad-asses and coolest Dad in cinema history, to lose to pretty-boy bitch Sephiroth. And thus Vader wins.

New Battle!

Cicadas vs. Gnats in the Battle to Annoy the Crap Out Of People

Did you ever see Vader fight someone who wasn't a jedi? Even as Anakin, he still kicked ass.

Vader wins, Sephiroth is a wuss who got beaten by a punk kid with an oversized butterknife.

Gnats are more annoying, they actually bite and fly into your eyes...

Cicadas. They make noise... and you can wipe out a whole swarm of gnats with a spray bottle.

Also: Just because you guys don't want him to win, doesn't mean that vader stands a chance in hell.

I don't like it when the swat team attacks some guy who has a single pot plant growing for his own use, because he's growing illicit products. That doesn't mean that guy is going to go all matrix and beat the fuck out of the entire swat team.

if he was Darth Vader, he would win:p

Cicadas, for all their other faults, don't bite, and don't launch Kamikaze attacks at my eyes......gnats are still more annoying.

I gotta agree, I started reading through the 248 or so PAGES of posts, decided to say "screw it" and came upon this matchup. Darth Vader has a light saber. A light saber is composed of PURE ENERGY. there is nothing that can halt the flow of a lightsaber, with the exception of another lightsaber, or some other beam of pure energy. Sepiroth can't control pure energy, don't fool yourself. One swipe and Sepiroth would be in 2 pieces, 2 swipes and he'd be in 3 or 4, I dunno about you, but there's nothing that leads me to believe that Sepiroth could exist being chopped more than in half.

Also "Hi!"

Two new fights to spice things up:

Riddick (Form The Chronicles of Riddick) vs Kenshin (Who is mad enough to kill)

Lord Marshal (Chronicles of Riddick) vs Random Jedi Knight

Kenshin is an embarassment to all true Samurai/Ronin........Riddick would beat him without really trying hard.

Riddick can see in the dark. whoop de doo.
