Well, I don't find it boring largely because my playstyle revolves around aerial confrontation, for instance, not only do I have no ground attacks on Cloud, I also have no ground attacks on Kuja and Sephiroth, see, it gives me a degree of flexibility, where I don't have ground attacks, I can generate a nice load-out of aerial abilities, as well as having extra space for passive abilities.
For instance, if I were to take ground attacks, I'd loose out on my Snooze & Loose ability, as well as a fair few other extras like my personal favourite, riposte.
At the very least I have the most basic ground Brave combo equipped, in the fight ever does go to the ground, but because I've mastered all the moves, it only costs me about 5AP.
Still, as I said, I don't find it boring because it's my preferred playing style, I love aerial battles because, again as I said, I find the action becomes much more fast paced and intense.
And if I want to play a ground fighter and kick some major ass at the same time, I have Gabranth to fall back on, my personal best is a 3 minute win against a Very High, level 115 Chaos, one minute for each stage.
For some reason, I only enjoy ground battles when I'm using Gabranth.
EDIT: Took a look at your Sephy vs Squall video, very nice use of Heartless Angel there, the Scintilla dodge made me laugh too.
