Why the fuck is he so powerful? It makes sense for the Tux to be capable of fighting Cloud toe to toe since they're special agents selected for their abilities, but Rufus is just a rich kid.
Why the fuck is he so powerful...
well he can also see time jannies for no apparent reason, but the tux can't
if you lived in a magical world with no responsibilities and unlimited wealth wouldn't you try and be the biggest badass there is?
He is literally the leader of Turks. Why wouldn't he be stronk?
That's Tseng, you moron.
cloud isn't actually a soldier. if you played the original you would know this
He's the director of their operations, a position he got by nepotism not ability. Tseng is their field commander.
Which boss fight do you want to see remade the most? For me, it's Hojo.
Cloud IS effectively a SOLDIER post Hojo basement, he had the full Mako and Jenova infusion and didn't die. His Jenova cells let him basically steal abilities and memories which is why he goes from little bitch to super human in such a short time, he absorbs Zack's abilities and knowledge.
You're right, SOLDIERS only have mako infusions. Cloud had mako, Sephiroth's cells (which means Jenova's power as well) and the imprint of a warrior who was probably only second to Sephiroth
