10 Best Fight Scenes In Gaming History

10. Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII - Sephiroth Vs. Genesis Vs. Angeal

Bar none, Genesis is the worst Final Fantasy character Square Enix has ever created. The SOLDIER member's repeated recitals of Loveless whenever Zack encounters him are eye-rollingly dull, but by word, can the man fight.

His friendly (but not really) tussle with Sephiroth and Angeal atop Shinra's Sister Ray represents one of Crisis Core's most memorable moments, despite not being playable. As you'll see throughout this article alone, Square is unmatched in the quantity of its cinematic gaming splendor, and the three-way training session between the three former heroes of Midgar is delectable, to say the least. Even now, it's the only proper depiction of Sephiroth in battle as the good guy before he discovers his heinous origin and devolves into madness, the low stakes of their 'playfight' superbly rendered and realised even on a console as modest as Sony's PSP.

Not until the release of FF7 Remake over a decade later, would Jenova's unwitting offspring be granted a follow-up on-screen brawl to rival the gratuitousness of this clash, and it still holds up even today as one of the very best games have to offer.
