Yuffie Kisaragi

Yuffie is my least favorite character in Final Fantasy VII, main or supportive. I just plain don't like her, irregardless of how powerful her limit skills are. There's just something about Yuffie that almost forces me to shun her and, in fact, the one and only reason I obtain her game after game is for the Leviathan Materia. Her personality is snide and often rude, but unlike Cid, she's just plain annoying. If not for needing her to defeat the pagoda in Wutai and obtaining Leviathan, I'd personally leave her in the forest outside Fort Condor, this is how little I like this character. In fact, I dislike Yuffie so much that she is not only on the bottom of my list, she is the bottom of my list. She actually falls below Corneo on my overall character chart, and that's hitting rock bottom. Now having vented, on with her stats.

Description	Although you'd never know it by looking at her, Yuffie comes from a long line of Ninja. She forced herself into the group just to get a 'certain something'. She's sneaky, arrogant and "way" selfish. But with her super shiriken and her special skills, there isn't anyone else you'd rather have on your side in a fight.

Limit Skills

Level One	To begin Yuffie's limit skills, Greased Lightning is a quick physical attack focussing on one enemy. It's fairly weak, as with most beginning skills, but it can generally knock out one weaker enemy. Clear Tranquil is basically a copy cat of Aeris' Healing Wind, it restores a minimal amount of each character's HP, but it's about the equivilant of a Potion and quickly useless.
Level Two	Landscaper starts level two off reasonably well, this skill is nice against groups. The damage is not cumulative, however; so it's completely wasted on a single attacker. Her second level two skill, Blood Fest is a little better to use on a single enemy, but is still best on small groups. The damage is a bit weaker than Landscaper, but it gets the job done.
Level Three	Level three starts out with Gauntlet, is another group attack. It's damage is not cumulative, so it's wasted on a lone opponent, save it for groups of four or five so that every enemy gets a kick in the head. Doom of the Living is nearly identical to Blood Fest, but more powerful. The damage caused by Blood Fest is cumulative, which makes it useful against a group, or a single opponent.
Level Four	The last of Yuffie's skills, All Creation, has been touted as one of the most powerful in the game, I didn't see that. It causes some major damage to groups or to a single attacker, but it lacks something that makes it one of the really great ones.
