FFVII Rebirth - Cloud & Zack, Bonds of Friendship (No Magic, Stylish Combo)

Watching this video and seeing them fight side-by-side, I've only just now noticed how differently Zack and Cloud use the Buster Sword. Zack swings that thing like it weighs nothing, whereas in Cloud's hands it feels very heavy and powerful. A great, subtle way to demonstrate the differences between them: Zack having gone through actual SOLDIER treatment and the training that comes with it, whereas Cloud only got the fucked up Hojo version, and is mostly mimicking Zack's style through his own messed up memories. It's in pretty much all over their animations, but it's most visible in their victory animations; Cloud's sword twirl is very clearly an imitation of Zack's, but Zack spins it a lot faster and smoother.

I've been waiting for more of your incredibly beautiful Rebirth gameplay.

Incredible. It took me so many attempts to finally beat this WITH magic. Truly impressive!

This is insanely impressive. I can only hope to get even half as good as you. Amazing work. Thank you.

This is the most impressive display of skill I’ve seen, and I’ve seen like 100 videos of Combat Simulator videos. Hats off to you sir, I can’t imagine how long it took you to get to this point

While the inexperienced in FF7 might think that the victory pose of Cloud VS Zack shows that Cloud “needs practice”. In truth the reason is that Zack from Rebirth is a Crisis Core Reunion Port. Original FF7 was the one who started the spin so the Re-sequel version might have been an attempt to make the victory pose “realistic”.

THIS is what I’ve been looking for. Some style

If only they allowed you to play Zack and Sephiroth in all the VR missions as an extra reward for beating those 2 challenges. Seems like such an obvious thing to do.

Good job man keep up the awesome vids

Another one, jeez this is fun to watch! God tier gameplay!

Insanely great! Perfect cloud+zack combo and in jp dub! Looked like a 2v1 battle

For people that are saying this game is easy and it is just about smashing the attack button, they’re clearly mistaken. This is about skills , timing and so much more in which you clearly have. Well done !

You are what Imagine what I look like when I play. So much skill and practice; you are very good!!

OMG this is the best video I've ever seen of someone actually using Cloud's fighting abilities as he was meant to be used. Most people I have watched totally under utilise his skills, or put useless materia on him or don't even use his abilities. Cloud was my main heavy hitter and used correctly he totally rocks! Also just wanted to point out with some of the comments I've read here - Cloud didn't copy Zack's style. At the age of 14yrs when Cloud first enlisted and was assigned a mission with some turks, they noted how expertly adept Cloud was at swordsmanship - I think it was in 'First Soldier'.

I love this duo. Cloud and Zack are 2 of my favourite characters of all FF. This gameplay is amazing! Have you ever noticed that the voice actors of Sting (the guy with blond hair) and Rogue (the guy with black hair) from Fairy Tail are Takahiro Sakurai and Kenichi Suzumura, just like Cloud and Zack? Do you think that this is a coincidence or a reference to FF7?

Finally a non magic build video …. I’ve beaten this challenge 15 or so times , there are so much combat options but people just Vito to magic cuz it’s easy …. Good job man

Wow magnificent work u make it look easy just wow impressive wish I could be hf as good GG man

what is the immune is that you doing perfect blocks? If so I will probably never get this far lol.

19:12 Zack: Why are you posing with the sword Cloud: It's my thing Zack

How do you jump with cloud like that? Also how do you get in the air after braver to do aerial onslaught? I thought you had to dodge and hold attack to launch yourself in the air…
