Roy's Nair with Cloud's sword, instant top tier.

All good man, good sport. But hey if nothing else, the interview does seem to indicate that Sakurai, surprisingly, knows the FF franchise rather well. I'm pretty happy with that. maybe if DLC fighters returned or there was to be a new smash game (as unlikely as that is) I could expect more FF...

Ok so, you're still assuming they were considered without an actual statement saying so. He didnt actually say they were considered in the interview and you yourself confirm you haven't accurately translated the original interview. To add to that, the tone and context of the translated one...

I mean, if I may nitpick here... Sakurai never considered Bartz or Terra. He threw those names out as examples of characters that aren't as recognizable as Cloud. That is all. Context is everything.

Kill throws are fine. Not having kill throws is also fine. It all comes down to what tools your character has and how their kit all comes together. OP poses a simple question, but kill throws are typically balanced in consideration of a characters entire kit, there are tons of balance...

I mained Marth in Melee, Brawl and Wii U. I never played Fire Emblem, I'm just a sword nut and I liked Marth's sword. In Smash 4 I came to switch mains to Lucina. Not much of a switch, I just thought her sword felt better. Nicer sound to the swing, pleasant 'all-white' sword trail. Then Cloud...

So I think i have a good tip for limit usage, didnt wanna make a new thread about it because it's nothing major so Ill put it here. Also I dont know if this has been brought up before, the threads grown a bit large. When the enemy is at lower percentage, don't charge it all the way. Just charge...

Yeah true, just rewatched the trailer to check. Looks like maybe a little push forward at the very start of the attack but certainly not enough unless Limit charged. Still though, Climhazzard looks like an amazing tool in general anyway. Like when Cloud did a dtilt to upair combo, probably...

Yeah that'd be true. But if I may don my tinfoil hat, what if Climhazzard is (as some people have already been speculating) a good oos option, so Imagine shielding a get-up attack or something then hop into climhazzard right on the ledge cancel :V I need to watch the trailer again but it looked...

Three if you count the Climhazzard spike. Guess his hair didn't make him spikey enough as it is :p Edit: Hmm, I wonder if you could cancel climhazzard on the edge with the blade facing outward... that'd be a hell of a spike.... Double edit: now that I think about it, his edgegaurd game seems...

I think limits are simply chargeable. This may not reference the original game directly, but it does somewhat mimic his Limit meter in FF Dissidia, which used button mashing to charge the power of his Omnislash. Considering he strikes the exact same pose while charging his Limit in both Smash...

Hey guys, as a long time fan of Final Fantasy I've been having a bit of fun picking out where each of Cloud's attacks have been inspired from. So, I've compiled this list of where I think each of his attacks came from, with gifs~ If anyone can pick out any that I miss or corrections to be made...

Ooo I wonder if it'll auto-punish spot dodges o3o I believe this is correct, seeing as how we never see a 'weaker' version of Finishing Touch.

Hmm....I see a lot of people refering to Finishing Touch as his 'counter', though I don't really see a reason to believe that. It didn't look like Cloud actually got hit before the attack went off...I think it's more like Links Spin Attack.
