What super powers? You only see him at ONE point in the entire game, and you kill him in ONE hit (Well, technically it\'s 15 hits
).
Jenova was the being with the power of manipulation (and she was extremely potent with it), it only makes sense that she is the puppet master. Not the other way around, given that he doesn\'t have those powers.
And refresh my memory (It\'s been a LONG time), how do you know that falling into the life-stream gave him the knowledge of the Ancients?
Also, how come Cloud didn\'t receive these powers after falling into the life-stream?
Sephiroth hadn\'t long left the area. He simply flew up in the air, then the text came on screen, then Jenova dropped down.
Jenova said it.
Well, "said" isn\'t the correct word, more likely she passed the thought directly into Clouds mind (hence why it wasn\'t in a speech bubble).
And besides, I thought she said it
after the battle. It\'s been a while.
