    Let's Talk About Witch Time

    Witch time is pretty overpowered from what I can tell. I don't think any character has a strict of a counter as Greninja's, but at least Greninja's was, at one point, one of the strongest counters in the game. Not anymore apparently. The amount of frames you are slowed down for is pretty insane.

    Should Cloud be rebalanced?

    I think people seriously underrate Cloud's recovery. It does not need a buff. Just mix up how you recovery, maybe save that second jump, throw out an aerial, there are a lot of ways to recover. I don't really agree with the recovery point. There are a lot of interesting recoveries and while some...

    Q&A How does one cure motion sickness? - Cloud Q&A Thread

    Usually whoever the game said won, but it varies on tournament. I've never seen a tournament not go with what the game said.

    Should Cloud be rebalanced?

    That's more than re-balancing. That's completely changing the character. Reducing his kill power and increasing his aerial mobility changes him drastically. Cloud's aerials are all disjointed and cover him quite well. Does he really need better aerial movement? His range is quite good. We don't...

    Should Cloud be rebalanced?

    You want to buff Cloud's throws and his recovery? Why don't we just buff Little's Mac's recovery too and perhaps give him some aerial spikes? Or perhaps give Sheik much more KO power? Characters have weaknesses, they have things they do not excel in. If we buff Cloud's throws and recovery then...

    Should Cloud be rebalanced?

    I really don't think Cloud's recovery needs a buff. It's his one real weakness and it should be exploited. I don't think any buff of any kind, including ledge snapping is really a good idea. He's already quite good and despite the limited time he has been out, has been doing well in tournaments...

    Should Cloud be rebalanced?

    I don't really see what this will do to improve Cloud. He already jumps pretty high. I don't think that move needs a buff quite honestly. It comes out on frame seven and is, surprisingly, really good out of shield. If we increase the angle at which he can travel, it makes it an even better...

    Cloud bad Matchups?

    Cloud is far from lagless but he does have tons of disjointed hitboxes (as all swordsmen do). He doesn't do too well against characters who excel at gimping. It's my understanding that he does not do too well against Greninja.

    Nair -> Footstool combo help

    Try moving in the direction of your opponent during the Nair. You want to fast fall at the apex of your jump. Some people mash out the jump button to ensure you get the footstool as soon as possible. If you're jumping off of Sheik's head, then you are doing it too late.

    Q&A Tips & Answers from a Passing Ninja - Greninja Q&A Thread

    You push them in the opposite direction you travel. Think of it like this... Let's say Greninja is on the left and Lucario is on the right. Greninja uses hydropump and moves left. The stream pushes him left but the stream itself travels right. Your opponent, Lucario, is pushed right, the...

    Should Cloud be rebalanced?

    Any vertical heavy recovery is poor against Hydropump/Fludd. Little Mac, Ike, Kirby, Marth/Lucina (to a degree), Link/Toon Link, Shulk, Captain Falcon, Charizard, etc. Not to say all it takes a single Hydropump/Fludd to beat these characters, but they have to be careful about their recovery...

    Should Cloud be rebalanced?

    Me either. It's not like Kirby or Ike need it. Not sure why Cloud is in need of one when those two seem fine without it.

    Q&A Tips & Answers from a Passing Ninja - Greninja Q&A Thread

    You can. People do it all the time. Nair true combos into dtilt and ftilt according to training mode. You have enough time to not only attack, but dash grab (not sure if true though) but footstool as well. Here. This is a video from.... a user. If I remember, I will edit this post with their...

    Should Cloud be rebalanced?

    I never said that Jab -> FT was true. It's just a setup. I got that information from a thread in this very forum. The post itself has never been disputed as of January 11th, 2016. Here is post. It doesn't account for DI. I looked at Cloud's frame data myself and I've actually decided to recant...

    Should Cloud be rebalanced?

    You're clearly more experienced with Jigglypuff than I am, so I won't try and argue about her kill potential. From what I know about the character, they have issues getting in. At any rate, I'm not trying to do a Jigglypuff and Cloud comparison. Initially I compared FT and KO punch because they...
