You struggled to beat him when you was lvl 255, mate, thats terrible. When I first tried to beat him at lvl 62 I always got close to beating him with like 1 and a bit health bars, but gave up until I was stronger. Its not that his that hard though, once you are locked on its pretty easy to dodge attacks and he near always teleports right behind you. Its just difficult to swing the camera around and lock on before he starts mencing the flesh on your back.

i felt he was much harder towards the start of the fight
that attack where he would reduce your hp to 1 was what got me most of the time

I actually found him slightly harder in KH2 and therefore more fun. Pity you can't fight him more than once though (well, you can if you saved right before fighting him, but that's true for any boss.)

[Ouch!]

I felt Sephiroth was more difficult in KH2 simply on the basis that his moves are less predictable. In the original, you know exactly what he's going to do and exactly when he's going to do it. That's how people manage to do it without ever getting hit.

Forgive me for laughing at the codes thing, but codes make me RAAAAGE.

Anyway, yes he was slightly more difficult in KH1 than KH2, though it has alot to do with the fact that your in a smaller space and KH1 Sora has far less mobility options than his 15 year old omg-1-year-up-gives-me-Jedi-Master-Skills self, which is why you'll find Sephiroth harder.

I didn't have much trouble beating him, I think I bet him with his level in the 60's as my best. KH1 Sephy was badass.

I didn't find either difficult, beating them in the mid-70s, but what was hardest for me about KH2 Sephy was actually finishing him off with a combo. I had basically drained his HP by using combos and finishing them, but it took me over five minutes when he had no HP left to actually finish the combo for God knows what reason. It was maddening.

And if you can't beat KH1 Sephy then you have no idea how to fight him. Original poster, you were aware that you could attack him when he was using Descend Heartless Angel to keep him from using it, right? If you have High Jump and Superglide, it's easy to get to him no matter where he is.

Sounds to me like you were using abilities that remove "Finishing blows" which is why it took so long to beat him. Its one of the few annoying things about the combat system but I prefer it over KH1's dreadful camera...
