Squall Leonhart Vs Vincent Valentine

Hi, Jeremy here with another Fabled Fight! Today features a battle between Squall Leonhart and Vincent Valentine from the Final Fantasy series. Which brooding hero can overcome the other? Time for our brief analysis of each fighter and then the verdict!

 Squall Leonhart (Final Fantasy 8)
--- Master of a unique sword called the Gunblade
--- Ultimate attack, Renzokuken, rapidly attacks foes with powerful sword swings
--- Talks to walls
--- Adept with magic techniques
--- He broods a lot, but also acts as a capable leader
--- Attacks very precisely, almost never missing
--- Technique called Rough Divide rushes forward incredibly quickly


Vincent Valentine (Final Fantasy 7)

 --- Wields a variety of firearms, typically favoring a pistol called Cerberus, which fires three rounds at once

 --- Ultimate ability transforms him into a powerful and demonic form. However, he also becomes berserk in this state, losing the ability to strategize

 --- There's a running gag that Vincent's a vampire, considering his pale skin, cold demeanor, and red eyes

 --- In FF7, he's an optional recruitment; you don't need him to finish your quest
 --- Agile combatant

Verdict:
Squall wins. Vincent is fast, but Squall's accuracy counters that. Vincent may have a range advantage, but Squall's magic and Rough Divide helps him close in and take the win in close quarters. Additionally, Squall's Renzokuken seems more far more helpful than Vincent's mindless transformation. 

My final thoughts: A sequel game to FF7, Dirge of Cerberus, stars Vincent and reveals he can transform into a Chaos state. However, I didn't factor this in because it isn't really an ability of his; he was granted the form by having magic implanted into him. If we took this into account, our outcome may very well have been different.

Today in the life of a Jeremy: Family get-togethers are always.. interesting.
