OK, you know those cool dances, actions, taunts, whatever, that playable FFVII characters do when they win a battle? I love 'em. Who looks the coolest doing his/hers/its? Why does it look so cool, eh?

I chose Cloud's. I love that sword twirl. I always wonder, tho, how does he put it on his back, without cutting himself, and still, it stays there? A magnetic clamp? Very skillful resheathing into a normal sheath? I have not a clue. But it still looks cool.

BTW, in coolest, I mean your favorite.

Wow. 1,000 posts.

I miss you all now that I'm in boarding school! ;_;

Oh, by far, Cid. He's just finished beating down some fool and what does he do? He doesn't twirl his sword like a fairy or spazz out like Barret, he takes a puff from his cigarette. O sure, smoking kills, but you can't question it's badass-ness when used as a victory action. Or when lighting the fuse on some TNT for a Limit Break.

Close second: Vincent, the way he twirls his gun and holsters it (well, more like holds it down by where a holster would be) is a testament to just how bad he is.

I vote for Cid too. He's so calm and in-control. "Yeah, we won. Big deal. Who's next?" Red XIII is my second choice, also because he's just so calm about it--"I've eaten things bigger than you for breakfast"--and Cloud is my third. I like how he thinks of it as his personal signature move, and even teaches it to the Junon soldiers.

Vincent. Its like

Cloud! Coolest animition ever!

People say I'm a slow learner, but I type fast!

Cloud's is addicting to watch and looks cool too. It's interesting how he can twirl a 200lb sword like that with just his hand.

Cid...
I don't smoke myself but watch him:
A raging, life-or-death battle...
The good guys win...
Cid think's "What was the point of killing that, again? Aw, whatever, I need a smoke..."

i voted for barret BECAUSE he "spazzs" out. i dunno, i just think its cool.

I voted Tifa. Doesn't get any more original than a girl sticking her chest out.


2nd goes to Cid, because he's a badass.

The clouds ran away, opened up the sky
And one by one I watched every constellation die
And there I was frozen, standing in my backyard
Face to face, eye to eye, staring at the last star
I should've known, walked all the way home
To find that she wasn't here, I'm still all alone

I like Sephiroth's, because how the heck does he NOT hit someone else with that huge sword and the wild swinging motions?

--------------------

Hey, put the cellphone down for a while
In the night there is something wild
Can you hear it breathing?
And hey, put the laptop down for a while
In the night there is something wild
I feel it, it's leaving me

Sephiroth.....

I'd just like to say that Sephiroth IS the coolest FF character ever.

Perhaps in video game history.

Also, his music is so......intimidating.

And why can't Clould ever have a weapon like Masamune?

Most of his weapons look like they belong to Megatron.

Actually, when Shinra sent Sephiroth and Zack to investigate the Nibelheim reactor, there were 30 MPs with him. Thanks to some random encounters and Sephiroth's victory animation, by the time they arrived it was Sephiroth, Zack, Cloud and Corporal Generic.

1. Sepheroth- No reason needed.
2. Vincent- Just because.

Okay I understand you may have been joking, but there is no way the the buster sword weighs 200lbs, thats like 75-100 Kgs, which is like...up to 50 2 Litre botles of milk!!

Okay 35 Kgs at the MOST.

I like Cid. He acts so cool and laid back... takin a smoke. 2nd is Cloud. Twirl of the sword never gets old.

My second daughter, if we have girls, will be named Rikku. I'm not kidding.

I went with Cid I love it when he just stands there at takes a puff from his cigarette. Now if it was me I would rather take a swig from a beer but it is still cool which is what makes Cid the best character in the game to me.

Bleh. Personally, DP, I despise all forms of smoking; I think it's a disgusting, vile, filthy addiction, not to mention exceedingly rude and unhealthy, and I think all cigarettes should be either taxed through the roof, made illegal, or destroyed entirely. I didn't vote for Cid because of the cigarette, I voted for him because of the attitude. If he didn't have a cigarette, I would be even happier with his end pose.

Why does Barret "spaz out" like that?

I haven't voted yet because I haven't seen all the characters do their thing yet. But as I remember I like the thing that Aeris does--don't really know why, but...

I wanted to post something about the buster sword here, but I'll put it in a more fitting place.

I like the one Barret does. He's like: BOOYABOOYA! WHOS UP NEXT!? IMA PWN HIM!

Must Agree. Cloud has the coolest victory animation. I looks very cool maybe Cloud will do it in FFVII: Advent Children.

Was this comment really THAT necessary? I'd keep opinions that could potentially upset someone like that out of my posts. This was a poll on the coolest victory celebration, NOT on what we think about smoking.

Anyway, I voted for Cid. He is just so calm and collected after the battle. He doesn't have to do fancy moves with his weapon to impress anyone or look cool. He just sits back and relaxes after a tiring battle. Priceless.

Cid. All the way. He's my favourite character in the game, and I love his attitude. Pulls out a smoke, and just dosen't give a f***.

Cloud's sword spin thing is the coolest to me. One thing that surprises me is that no matter how many times he does it he never cuts off a spike on his head o.o, lol.

Anything Sephiroth has got to be the coolest, therefore I had to throw my vote his way.

Well I voted Sephiroth for the simple reason that he has an almost 7 foot sword and he swings it like crazy at the end...how could that not be just out right terrifying?

Ya Cloud has to be the coolest cause no matter how many times he does the sword always manages to make it to the back of is body and stay there without falling off his back
