I've had great success with the eruption edgeguard if I know they're going low. it's waaaayyy easier to land on Cloud bc he doesn't snap the ledge. Just a thought.

Thanks! I thought it might be the matchup value...

+1? I apologize, I'm confused (I'm a little new to the online scene) could you elaborate?

I've been getting bodied by bowser grab setups out of jab, and Bowser's uthrow->uair is now a force to be reckoned with. While before the patch I would have placed Ike above bowser, now I can say with confidence I think it is 50:50; whoever messes up first in footsies is gonna die.

Climhazzard will always snap the ledge on the downward sweep as long as clouds character model is physically above it and at most the sword-length (red zone) away. He will also snap it on the upward sweep if you are a sword-length away and just about level with the ledge, but the spacing is...

So just a heads up for us ike mains. I was playing my friend, and he went cloud. He got his limit break and used finishing touch at the ledge. The windbox caught my recovery and pushed me away and I died.. I recovered lower and he couldn't get it, but it is another gimp to be aware of.

Here are some combos and setups courtesy of Izaw: https://youtu.be/uKRuW0a7Zfw I personally think the frame-cancelled fair will be an integral part of Cloud's meta.

Ryo (Ike player) has been fairly successful with footstool combos, especially in team play.

Cloud's ftilt jab locks and cloud's only reliable "untechable" starters I found in my testing are footstool from falling uair and a bair off a platform at low percent to trigger the fall. Cloud's ftilt will lock up to about 25/30 percent depending on weight and fall speed of the character.

Rage and staling will effect this as well. A fresh uair will kill at ridiculously low percents when Ike is at high rage, and staling Ike's uthrow is advantageous in this situation as well because it allows for more followups and even the true combo on fastfallers and certain midweights. I am...

@Browny I just want to echo this. In this case, Cloud's Uair is probably his best tool for a combo start/approach. If you look at his frame data it's even positive on block, which is huge in this game where shields are so strong an option. The fact that you can combo just about anything you...

I got a ken-esque combo with Cloud on a Dk twice today at about 50%: Nair->dair. I'm going to lab a little and post any results I find.

So I figured out if you're a stock up and the opponent has at least 10% (in most cases) you can do a full Climhazzard from the edge and it is a reliable YOLO double sd/kill as they try and recover.

So am I seeing a Cross Slash cancel into Climhazzard (both Limit)? Sorry all the Cloud skins look similar and both had limit breaks. *EDIT: I see now. His limit break was almost fully charged, and his cross slash filled the bar, which he then cancelled into a limit Climhazzard. Sorry I was...

Sorry this was meant to be an edit to the text above.
