Cloud character discussion

Looks good!
His normal attacks looked nice and quick whereas his specials looks like they could leave him open to punishment. Kinda like dissidia too.
I'm looking forward to trying him.

a lot of his moves seem similar to ike such as bair, dair, dsmash, fair and jab sorta. however i think he moves a bit faster plus he has other factors like limit and *MAYBE*(??) materia? his fsmash seems to be that quick 3 hit thing but i'm not sure if limit like boosts a certain attack or next special or something.
SO EXCITED TO SEE HIM BE PLAYED. so unique even tho he's not in terms of complete moveset

Cloud can stand on clouds in Kid Icarus stages :P They seem to be creative with their new characters. Well so far Ryu is the only "new" character but look at the creativity they put into him with his Light/Medium/Hard mechanics. They like to keep the character in the spirit of the game they came from in innovative ways so i rekon they'll do the same with Cloud.

there was some wild stuff in the trailer, I hope its some cool new mechanic (those are always fun) and not just assist trophy shit.

Who would have thought Cloud would be in the game, who's next? Goku?
FF7 in my top 3 fav games of all time though pretty hyped.

It would have been so easy to screw him up, and there's still time for them to do that, but from that trailer he looks sik ty based sakurai


Lets not forget though that this means we will get blessed with the godly ff7 soundtrack in smash, thats the real mvp

A lot of moves looked similar to Ike.

Please don't be a clone that got the Falcon/Ganon.

I hope he ends up being completely different from how Ike is played so that he can do the FF franchise justice.

(Now that Cloud is in Smash, Shrek could actually be in smash. This pleases me)

Correct me if I'm wrong but did it look like before the Summons were showcased it showed a Red Materia fly into the stage?
It could be that the materia is stage specific to the Midgar stage and you have to pick it up to use it.

yes, yes it is watching the trailer again, looks like he has a good run speed, a nice fair which seems to autocancel which is a huge plus, a sliding dtilt which goes under projectiles, his own projectile, and fucking climhazzard.

They also showed in the trailer some sort of limit mechanic, and then showed two clouds, one glowing blue, both try to recover and one clouds recovery went much further, so could be a new mechanic where as you take damage your limit builds and then when it caps all of your smashes and B moves get better, which would be kinda gay because thats really just lucarios aura all over again if it ends up being like that.

Also his new stage looks like a battlefield clone with fucked up hazard spam everywhere :'<

Or maybe a stance special like shulk?

it seems to me to be like a kind of pseudo deep breathing thing; you charge it up and then your next special gets buffed

idk

it would be cool if it were like that, but the new characters in smash 4 seem to be getting mechanics that stay true to how they work in their game of origin, and in ff7 you gain limit by taking damage, so it's not unreasonable to assume that if they put a limit system in, it would work the same way.

I feel like Cloud is going to have his limit break's as part of a "dmg/limit" meter like Mac maybe, looks like it from the trailer at least, like maybe you could activate it at certain points the bar has filled with, with a special input like ryu or something :P idk just a guess

In before its just another K.O. punch mechanic for the next move he uses.

---

well i mean in the trailer he's not actively taking damage when his limit bar fills up, he's standing still concentrating on his sword so idk

might be that damage works into the mechanics somehow though, like being unable to charge until a certain percent, or filling faster with higher percent idk ive never played ff

If you were a kid back in 1997 you'd understand the intensity of this addition to the game. As well as the remake :)
Even Scott seems to be coming back to smash after this announcement.
He must have been a hip 90's kid too :P
