You know, I'm slowly going to toss all of my FFVII theories out here one day.
This one is on Cloud and flying.
While replaying the scene where Cloud gives Sephiroth the Black Materia, I was sitting there and going "You know, I wonder if Cloud is enough of a clone that he could fly as well. And what we saw there was just Sephiroth manipulating him to use that ability, rather than ignore it."
It would make a lot of sense. Especially given the jumps we see in Advent Children. Several times, he's more hovering in place than anything else, and that fall after taking out the summons should have shattered what he landed on, but not if he was unconsciously slowing his fall.
If that is the case, I don't think he would use it intentionally. Being able to fly would make him feel even less human and that much closer to Sephiroth. So any use would be completely subconscious, and he would most likely deny it if it was pointed out to him.
*pokes at the theory and ponders* Oh, could so make with the Cloud angst with this.
*goes back to poking at Pre-Black Materia Sephiroth and Post-Black Materia Sephiroth, who are so very, very different* Be kinda fun to figure out the differences in power and abilities.

Isn't that also the scene, or very near it, where Cloud goes a bit whacko and starts begging Hojo for a number?
It wouldn't surprise me at all if Cloud had the ability to fly/whatever, but only ever used it/was able to use it in extreme circumstances. Jenova had a habit of flying around, after all, lol. In her final form she does a lot of floating, if I recall. And every Jenova-infected boss in the game also had some form where they flew or floated: Sephiroth, obv, and even Hojo had a boss form where he could float, I think.
And then you begin to wonder if it's Jenova's direct manipulation that allows them to utilise that ability. For example, could Sephiroth himself actually fly before Nibelheim? (Of course, it's not something you'd normally try out, lol, but would he have been able to at all before Jenova had a more direct hand in things?)

It would explain those jumps of his, for sure. Unconscious augmentation of his already insane leaping ability.
I bet SOLDIERs have -awesome- legs.
It's possibly Sephiroth could. But who would test it? And it's just a fun little theory to have.
Interesting about the Jenova bosses, though....
