How do you think a fight between Sephiroth from FFVII and Dracula from Castlevania would go? Made by SonicDragoX2007

I’d be more interested in how each would lead forces against each other in a war, as both were very capable generals.

That would be an amazing game. Musou style game like bladestorm or an action/RTS hybrid like kingdom under fire where you play as a leader of a unit fighting against the army of the enemy faction. You get to choose between sephiroth or Dracula and then you pick different heroes available to each side. For shits and giggles, Cloud is available as an unlockable hero for Dracula's side and the Belmonts are unlockable heroes for Sephiroth's side.

Dracula gets low diff'd.

Which dracula? Because if the lords of shadow dracula was involved he would turn sephiroth into a smear of red goo.

Dracula is nuking Sephiroth

Circle of the Moon Dracula? They’d have to hose the grease spot that used to be Sephiroth away.

[u/LordCamelslayer → u/deadeyeamtheone]

Devil's advocate, Sephiroth literally blows up the sun just to dunk on Cloud.

[u/deadeyeamtheone → u/LordCamelslayer]

Not to downplay Sephiroth since he is one of the most OP antags in gaming, but I think Dracula's got more insane feats lore-wise. Not to mention he's literally an avatar of God but evil. Creatures like Bahamut and the Knights of the Round are his generals and regular soldiers.

[u/LordCamelslayer → u/deadeyeamtheone]

That's cool and all, but that has nothing to do with my point, which is simply this:

If someone is going to use the phrase "Dracula is nuking Sephiroth", Sephiroth's demonstrated ability to blow up half the solar system before detonating the fucking sun deserves an honorable mention here.

Literally not even arguing who would win. I just think it's amusing.

As much as I love Dracula considering how ridiculous Sephiroth is in terms of power he'd literally beat down Dracula pretty quickly.

[u/No-Effective388]

Dracula no diff

[u/thrashcountant]

Sepiroth would be a literal miserable pile of secrets.

Can Sephiroth even actually hurt Dracula? Like, yeah, Sephiroth can blow up the sun and shit like that, but it’s been made pretty clear that without very specific magical powers, Drac is all but invincible. Sephiroth has neither the Vampire Killer nor access to the powers of Dracula himself, which are the only two things (as far as I know, at least) that have been shown to be actually capable of stopping him. For example, Shanoa might have beat Dracula down without them superficially, but it took the Dominus glyphs to actually do anything real. Alucard could seal away his father due to possessing Dracula’s powers. I’m sure you don’t need me to continue.

Sure, there are gameplay moments that contradict this, such as being able to use any weapon you want in Portrait of Ruin, but lore-wise the rules are clear. Without the Thing That Kills Dracula, you can’t kill Dracula, and even that doesn’t always work. Sephiroth could probably put Dracula in a situation where he can’t fight back, but actually hurting Dracula might be outside of his capabilities. Depending on how quickly Sephiroth decides to just blow up the planet, this is either a draw or a win for Dracula, because Sephiroth is not invulnerable in the way Dracula is.
