Quarter-Finals! Mega Man X vs. Cloud

These battles are based on what the character can do? Yes about what they can do! Not what the materia can do or the items they find can do. It's the character fighting not Knight of the Round or Ultima. Cloud is a fighter not a caster. It's clear and simple.

[/QUOTE]
it is the character that incites and uses/controls the materia
the materia in a sense becomes an extension of Cloud
are you saying that when a wizard casts a fireball to attack enemies that they are not the ones attacking?

If you think it's unfair it's cause you dont actualy understand Cloud. Sure he isnt as killer as in ff7 with materia equip and 99 x-potion + shield/wall/reflect and you name it... But that doesnt mean that he is a weakling. His fighting skill are not gone. Cause he doesnt have access to materia aint gonna mean he will fight X using some bamboo stick with a paperbag handle.

highly contradictory to things you have mentioned prior

Plus, (at least in the early X's) you can save stored sub-tank energy from round to round. X would definately come into this battle fully charged, as Bob mentioned.

yes but can X naturally without outside influences taken from other enemies or outside sources charge up the tanks?

I do remember, also, a certain Maverick weapon (the first X, on the SNES) that fires off a 3-way shot uncharged, and when it's charged, makes X completely invincible and still able to fire the 3-way shot. I think he got it off a chameleon or something.. but I haven't played that one in a while.

from mmx1.. probably not useful here.. i seriously doubt the weapon would be powerful enough to take out cloud and X would probably not be able to use that with the armors of X6 (?)

I think of it as more like Samus's armor. Extra "energy tanks" she gets are simply added to her already cool armor. They are PART of the armor, not items.

cant tanks be interchangable between armors (X6)?
i dont see how that makes the tanks fused with the armors if they are interchangable.. that makes them technically more like items that are inserted into the armor
