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.

Gee, do I get yet more blame for something? ::perkperk::
If you think about things statistically (i.e., genes being randomly distributed through the human population) it might seem weird that I have all the AVALANCHE crew basically having large portions of Cetra genes. But from another viewpoint, it makes sense that they would have those special genes because they (the genes) would explain their extraordinary abilities, and may also explain how they naturally gravitated together (like calling to like?)
But yes, it's a very plausible theory that the extraordinary abilities displayed by Cloud and his friends (pseudo-flying, limit breaks, etc.) could be explained by subconscious manipulation of various forms of energy, in large part enabled by Cetra genes.
