Zack wielding a normal Buster Sword, yet seemingly a "higher rank" than Cloud in SOLDIER (Cloud apparently didn't even make it into SOLDIER, even though his Boxing Ring tag is "First Class Soldier" lol)
Zack wields the Buster Sword after he defeated Angeal. He told Zack that he would be his living legacy and to carry on.
I think Zack was a 1st Class SOLDIER, if not very close in that rank; Cloud was merely an infantryman. The two quickly became best friends and saw each other in one another.
After the Nibelheim incident where Sephiroth destroyed the town, they were experimented on and Cloud suffered through Mako poisoning. While escaping, Zack told Cloud about his whole story and, due to the poisoning, Cloud's memories started to combine with or morph into Zack's memories but with Cloud. At the start of FF7, Cloud believes he's Zack and that he was a First Class SOLDIER. When Zack dies, he gives Cloud the Buster Sword and says that Cloud will be Zack's living legacy.
Cloud doesn't remember who Zack is or the fact that he exists until much later. Cloud was experimented on similarly to how people in SOLDIER are enhanced, as seen by the blue eyes (the mark of a SOLDIER).
His Boxing Arena title is really in reference to how he is viewed at the beginning of the game.

Speaking of which, I should get a PSP someday so that I could play Crisis Core... though I want to use my money for other games, so Crisis Core will be put on hold for a long time.

Good luck to all the Clouds at Genesis. :4cloud:

Good luck everybody! :D

After rewatching Advent Children for the umpteenth time (first time without any lag though, it was beautiful), and seeing Zack wielding a normal Buster Sword, yet seemingly a "higher rank" than Cloud in SOLDIER (Cloud apparently didn't even make it into SOLDIER, even though his Boxing Ring tag is "First Class Soldier" lol), I was wondering, where does Cloud get the Fusion Sword? He seems to be wielding the same type of sword as Zack (hell, it may even be Zack's) in the flashback battle against Sephiroth, so when and where does he get the most badass sword/s? in history from?
Yeah, Cloud never made it into SOLDIER. It's actually a huge part of the plot of FF7. I don't want to spoil it all for you if you haven't played FFVII, yet. But, you are right, Cloud's Buster Sword is Zack's. And as far as I know, there's no explanation of where Cloud got the Fusion Swords.

In other news, I finally finished FFVI today. I didn't enjoy it as much as FFVII.

I just want to get a PlayStation 4 so I could play the other Final Fantasy games besides the VII remake when they come out. Hoping to buy it after I file my tax returns.

Good luck to all of the Clouds attending Genesis! Remember to embrace your dreams and defend your honor as SOLDIER!

It's not re-released on the Vita like Dissidia 012 is, so no. :( PSPs are cheap I think, but I don't feel like shelling out money for one now.

PSPs are relatively cheap nowadays I picked mine up for about €50 which is probably around $60-$70 (not accounting for different tax rates) emulation is also an option if you can run it

Thanks everyone! They're definitely tough. Having Komorikiri to play with once in a while would definitely help him too. I got no regrets.

Hiya Cloud Social!

I was wondering if I could have some help learning the character, I'm a bit frustrated after putting in some time with Cloud, it feels like I'm getting worse rather than better in terms of Cloud. Anyone mind helping me out?

I'm down for playing Cloud Dittos with you online.

Infinite Time on an Omega stage. We keep playing until one of us wants to take a break.

We can DM each other in the cloud discord or IM each other on LINE if you use it.

I don't got Line, I can go download it pretty quick if ya want me to.
if you're alright with that.

either way, discord or line is fine with me. I know LINE would at least let me voice chat on mobile; idk if Discord can.

So we can chat vocally while we play and talk about stuff.

Smooth Criminal Smooth Criminal you wanna practice with me now or nah?

Me and KittyKyat KittyKyat found some neat things.

Like CrossSlash making recovery much safer if you wall jump for recovery.

And that dair does as surprising amount of shield damage.

I'm also pretty sure I've convinced him that non-limit break cloud is a lot better in the neutral than limit break cloud lol.

Something I actually found out a while ago, but just remembered. You can hold down to not sweetspot the ledge with LB Climhazzard (common knowledge), and get a little more damage with more risk, OR you can sweetspot during hitlag by realeasing down during hitlag.
Hitlag is that pause that occurs when you connect any attack. Every attack has hitlag, but obviously, some have more than others. Putting this here because I've seen people mistake it for endlag/other stuff, and it bothers me, so I'm getting everybody on the right track, y'know? :D
This may not be imminently obvious due to LB Climhazzard's natural ledge poking properties, but it's also noticeable with Ganon's Dark Fists.

Like CrossSlash making recovery much safer if you wall jump for recovery.

I'm also pretty sure I've convinced him that non-limit break cloud is a lot better in the neutral than limit break cloud lol.
What do you mean with these two?

Omnislash is, "Your luck has run out."

-m0 -m0 if someone is at the ledge and waiting for you to recover and you do a wall jump on your way up, if you hit with cross slash you slow your decent and also cause enough shield stun that following immediately with climhazzard is hard to punish.

also non-limit cloud has a lot more options in neutral than limit cloud due to limit charge canceling, up b oos platform games, and frequent use of b moves, making him more versatile and flexable. with limit cloud you're forced to play neutral with normals and up b oos is something you dont want to do with limit charged.

How many slashes? Also are you sweetspotting ledge early with Climhazzard?

hit with all 3 slashes on block or hit and I am super sure that you can get back to the ledge for free.

we can test it if you want just to make sure since this was just preliminary testing with KittyKyat.

Okay, I see what you mean with this. Limit charge canceling is just stopping the charge with b, right? :/ do you know what frame upbs hitbox is out on? I sometimes use it in the middle of being comboed and I'll hear the attack sound, but get no hitbox.

And then I get RCO lag and get comboed even harder D:
