NOTE: Cloud does not yet have a category for guides hence why I put this under the general guide category.
I found these two techs in the lab. I came up with the names based on the names of his specials. If you can think of better names for these, don't hesitate to let me know
.
Limit-dash
To do this tech, I recommend setting the c-stick to specials, this is the way that I found the easiest to perform the tech. While dashing, you can perform a limit charge which will cause cloud to slide and slow down. If you press b + any direction a second time, a very brief animation will play and you will be free to use any move. If you plan to grab, you do not need to press b or any button because the grab will automatically cancel the limit charge, similar to lucario's neutral b. Using limit-dash to grab is important because it uses clouds standing grab animation, which has much less lag than his dash grab does. However, If you would like to perform a tilt or a smash out of a dash with minimal time in between the dash and the attack, you will have to quickly down b twice and then input your attack.
Hazzard trump
Cloud is unable to do the usual method of ledge trumping, which consists of running off of the edge and then quickly holding the control stick in the other direction. However, he has a superior method that most characters that is not strict in its timing and very easy to perform. Do to it, simply run off of the stage and instantly use Cloud's up b towards the ledge. If done correctly, a metallic sound will play and the animation will be canceled and Cloud will be hanging on the ledge. I believe that it is faster than the normal way but if you believe that I am wrong, by all means let me know.
Both techs are included in the video link below. I know that the quality is bad but watch the whole video to see the different uses of the techs.
