Social 7th Heaven - Cloud Social Thread

[JesseMcCloud]

Wolf is the only 1st party veteran currently MIA save for the Ice Climbers, so I bet he'll be coming soon. Then I imagine we'll get to see who was most requested in the ballot, and an announcement as to how that will affect future dlc.

I feel like what we get in the December Direct is the last dlc.

 

[Gimmick]

I'm serious guys. Imagine if this was Cloud down-special...

 

[Dhragen]

Probably a Midgar, Sephiroth and maybe Aerith trophy.

Stage hazards in smash has trophies as well if they are actual characters (like how all pokemons in kalos league appears as trophie)

I guess we could maybe get Infrit, Ramuh, Leviathan, Odin and Bahamut Zero trophies as well

 

[Strong-Arm]

I think Wolfs coming for sure, especially since
1. Hes very VERY popular among smash players
2. Would generate a **** ton of mullah
3. Is very easy to make (Sakurai said this once in an interview)

I also hope Snake returns for me I would personally like to see any of these
Wolf
K.Rool
Shovel Knight
Snake
Squirtle
Zack(kek)

Also someone turn this into an icon lol

That would be pretty cool.

 

[Tri Knight]

Along with Cloud? I'm thinking Snake as well but I don't know. Wolf isn't coming back for sure and I wouldn't really blink twice if he did or not (not a fan of the series to be honest). Definitely not getting anymore Pokemon. LoZ and Mario have enough reps I think though Waluigi would make some sense to be in I guess.

Actually, King K. Rool and Banjo/Kazooie are some pretty high probabilities so I'd put my money on them.

As for trophies we'll definitely see Sephie, maybe Aerith, and i can see Buster Sword as a standalone trophy as well. I mean the sword itself is iconic even without Cloud.

 

[praline]

If Banjo were dlc he'd definitely make bank.

I want Goku. lol I know that won't happen though...

 

[Ffamran]

It'd be hilarious if the other DLC characters were all Final Fantasy VII characters. We heard you liked Cloud, so now have Sephiroth and Tifa and out of the 3, only Sephiroth is actually unique. Why Sephiroth when Cloud's more or less confirmed to have a meter system through his Limit Breaks? Multi-hitting. In Dissidia, all of Sephiroth's Masamune attacks hit multiple times. No character in Smash has multi-hits on all their moves. Welp, RIP Ryu, you're about to get hard countered and lose your chance of being a top tier.

 

[Strong-Arm]

What if Zack was thrown in as a clone lol, just for a quick buck. He would be like the Dark Pit to Cloud's Pit

 

[Gimmick]

IMO...

Characters-

• Cloud
• King K. Rool
• Wolf
• Snake
• Sub-Zero or Scorpion

Also, recently I've been thinking about the practicality of certain characters making into smash. I feel like people are forgetting that there's more to smash than just YouTube and Smash Boards. We also have to acknowledge the casual fan base. I guarantee you that a majority of casual fans probably voted for Daisy, Toad, and even Goku. That's why I some times wonder if characters such as Issac, Shantae, Bayonetta, and Waddle Dee ever had a chance.

Honestly I'd be cool with those 5 characters as last dlc... Especially if K. Rool is replaced by Isaac or Goku,

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoo
Someone else who wants an MK character lol. Itll probably never happen, but by Raiden it would be awesome to see Sub Zero burst into the game lol

People said Cloud would never happen. Mortal Kombat was on the snes so Scorpion is possible.

 

[Dhragen]

I think All star mode would end getting screwed with all the fan-favorite characters that people want.....Just look at this

Spoiler: Level 3-5 all stars

1994-1998
Level 5 (3DS) - Level 3 (Wii U)

Ness (August 27, 1994)
Diddy Kong (November 21, 1994)
Mewtwo (February 27, 1996)
Pikachu (February 27, 1996)
Charizard (February 27, 1996)
Jigglypuff (February 27, 1996)
Cloud (January 31, 1997)
Sheik (November 21, 1998)
Ganondorf (November 21, 1998)

And on that single period of time, was launched DKC, DKC2, Banjo-Kazooie, Mario RPG, Star Fox 64. So, if we are getting Banjo, Wolf, K. Rool, Geno and/or Dixie Kong, we will have to battle SOOOO many characters there, XDD.

 

[Strong-Arm]

I know its really early, but I feel like the Cloud boards should have an icon associated with them like how the Zelda boards got with
I vote for the "This picture literally screams sarcasm and works with basically everything" or the woah wut Zack reaction icon

Spoiler: Wut/woah

 

[Morbi]

Hmm, a playable Chocobo character would work surprisingly well with a Luigified Yoshi moveset. The flutter jump, machine gun kicks, even throwing eggs.
Anyone else agree that Cloud deserves a spot more than Pac-man?

Honestly, I do believe that Cloud deserved his spot more than Pac-Man. Pac-Man is legendary and one of the first discernible video-game "characters;" however, the intrinsic issue with Pac-Man, to me, is that he is essentially a cheese wheel. An iconic cheese wheel, of course. The Pac-Man that non-core gamers are deeply aware of is not the one we received. I am not a huge Pac-Man fan, so I am not entirely certain if he ever uses ghosts to attack enemies or anything of the sort. I do know that when non-core gamers allude to Pac-Man they are not mentally construing the creature playable in Smash Brothers.

The notion of "deserve" is subjective. It does not necessarily imply that the more well-known characters are inherently more deserving. Pac-Man is an older character that represents the arcades, something that I am not well-versed in given my age (21). Cloud represents MY era of gaming. Pac-Man's reveal did not make me want to go and play Pac-Man's games in anticipation for the moment I would be able use him whereas Cloud has enabled me to experience one of gaming's greatest masterpieces that I had neglected. He did what third-party characters are intended to do. Pac-Man, he was a box that needed to be checked. Cloud, he was a pleasant surprise. Pac-Man is a character that by design was never intended to fight monsters, yet here he is... Fighting. So utterly warranted he is. Cloud, well, it is obvious that Cloud is the antithesis of the aforementioned design.

This is the Cloud thread and we are are almost obligated to circle-jerk Cloud into submission. But I truly believe that Cloud is more deserving of his place in Smash Brothers. He represents so much more, two companies coming together from a spiteful past. He changes the realm of speculation rather than adhering to the expected. Most of his in-game character is torn straight from the game that core players love and appreciate. Pac-Man did a lot for the industry, and he is the more notable character, but is he the better entry in Super Smash Brothers for Wii U? I would humbly argue that he is not. To me, as a fan of gaming, I appreciate Cloud more and I will play as Cloud more. Not because he is one of gaming's most prominent characters to ever grace our medium... Because he is a character that I, as a person who enjoys gaming, adore.

Cloud is a deep and complex character that I have come to respect. Pac-Man is a circular mass of pixels with little to no relevant personality. That is the difference to me.

Very well said my friend. I couldn't agree more


Soooo...does anyone know where I can download a final fantasy VII rom?

If you have a PSP you can get it off of Emuparadise and play it. Thats what I've been doing

 

[Nu~]

Unfortunately, I haven't had a working PSP in ages...

Is there a way I can play it on my laptop?

 

[Smooth Criminal]

We don't talk about that kinda stuff here, guys.

Ixnay on the mulationeay. Don't want ya'll to get in trouble.

Cough up 10$ and get it off steam, I mean its really not much and is for sure worth it

 

[RebelXII]

I think we should have shovel Knight and banjo

 

[Morbi]

I think we should have shovel Knight and banjo

That does beg the question of whether or not the remaining DLC characters that are not veterans will be third-party characters (unless Snake > Wolf happens). They could be saving most Nintendo newcomers for the next title after all. I do not find it entirely likely, but I am open to the possibility. I suppose that to an extent it depends on if Cloud was the ballot winner. I have a heard a lot of people voicing differing opinions on the matter.

I'm hugely skeptical that Cloud was the ballot winner. He and his stage look incredibly polished for only one month's worth of work.

I Doubt Wolf and I doubt Snake will return. I thought I heard something about him being in another fighting game. But if Mr.Strife can make it, then anything can happen.

Cloud was not the ballot winner. On the Nintendo minute, it was said that Sakurai had the idea of Cloud being in Smash since last E3 when FF VII was announced.

 

[Strong-Arm]

Cloud wasnt the ballot winner and people REALLY need to stop jumping the gun so quick (imo thats the single BIGGEST issue with the Sm4sh community but thats a topic for a later day). But anyways I imagine we'll get at the least 2 or 3 DLC characters. Who knows who we will be getting. After characters like Ryu and Cloud I honestly have no idea. I also think the smash direct will be early december, probably the first week. They're probably going to want money rolling in from the begginning of the holiday season to the end of it.

 

[Morbi]

I'm hugely skeptical that Cloud was the ballot winner. He and his stage look incredibly polished for only one month's worth of work.

To be fair, the ballot winner was more or less secured after about a month of voting; however, I agree with you. It is just that a lot of reaction videos and subsequent YouTube comments brought the prospect to my attention. Normally I would just assume that Cloud happened to be a character and not necessarily the winner of the ballot. Especially after the unceremonious reveal, it was literally at the end of the Direct with little build up in foresight. That being said, it is sort of my point that he is not the winner because I adamantly believe that the winner is a third-party character given the lackluster remainder of Nintendo characters not already in Smash.

I Doubt Wolf and I doubt Snake will return. I thought I heard something about him being in another fighting game. But if Mr.Strife can make it, then anything can happen.

Thank you for that. I was not aware.

 

[Drakonis]

I do hope that Wolf will return, simply because of how much I enjoyed playing him in Brawl, particularly because I love Star Fox 64 but couldn't warm up to Fox's or Falco's playstyles.

But after Cloud's reveal I'm not sure what'll happen anymore.
We might get blindsided again and get Snake back (which I would still think is highly unlikely due to the whole Konami debacle). They might limit new releases to the first few top picks of the Ballot.

And yet again they might just throw in like 2 other characters with Cloud that had nothing to do with the vote and go on to do the top ballot winner of every region or something crazy as that.
No matter what will come in the Smash presentation, I'm fairly certain it'll be big. Ridley pun not intended.

 

[Gimmick]

Yeah... I love Pac-Man, but his move set is super forced.

 

[The_Cardinal]

So what you're telling me is that you DON'T want squirtle, ivysaur, and pichu back?

Or how about they hit us from behind with a train and give us Sephie? I think at that point I'd break.

 

[shinhed-echi]

To me, the journey to the dark side will be complete once Simon Belmont is announced.
I mean, getting Snake would be nice I guess, although on a personal level, I never really cared about MGS.
But hey, if we got 2 reps from Capcom, we can get 2 from Konami.
(That, and we'd have: 7 - 3rd party characters. Which just screams website photo of them together with )

 

[Nu~]

Master chief would bring together all the console rivalries. I would love to see it happen.


...although I still want crash bandicoot...

Edit: And use his moveset from warped. Completely eradicate all traces of the Radical Entertainment time period of crash...

 

[Drakonis]

Or how about they hit us from behind with a train and give us Sephie? I think at that point I'd break.

Honestly if that happened I'd be more disappointed than anything.
As awesome it is that we get Cloud, I'd feel bad if VII of all games got two reps while there's plenty of great and amazing characters that could have unique gameplay opportunities from FF games that actually where on Nintendo consoles.

 

[Symphonia]

My favourite game of all time is Tales of Symphonia.

Yes Cardinal! Excellent choice.

Hey gorl, how have you been? Haven't seen you drop by the Zelda Social recently, though it's nice to see you remember
So I made that picture into an icon for you, but wan't sure how big to make it (I can make it bigger/smaller if you want) I also made it into an intensify gif

Anyway, hello everyone~
Gonna start frequenting this social as well. As an FF fan, it's nice to see Cloud in smash even though I haven't played FFVII.
Out of the ones I've played, FFIV DS would be my favourite. For spinoffs, I really enjoy Crystal Chronicles on the GC and Tactics Advance

pichu but no one gives a **** about that character lol.

I am surprised we didnt get sephty with cloud, it just seems like it would have been a really cool thing to have both of them in the game at once and it would have given smash a super iconic villain as well.

Honestly if that happened I'd be more disappointed than anything.

sure but 7 has become the poster child of se at this point and they are nearing the end of compilation of ff7 as well as a lot of people who never played 7 know who sephy is due to kh and I know several people who thought he was from that game. Also I want sabin **** all others
