is there anyone that can invite
me to a cloud skype group, if there is one?
Trust me, Skype isn't good, that's why I rarely use it and not joining the group yet. I recommend you to go to Discord.

And happy new year everyone!

Hello, Cloud Social. I hope you all have a happy new year. I hope it is very Cloud-filled. :4cloud:I haven't been playing much Smash Bros. lately. My shiny new games have been distracting me.

I have been playing a ton of Xenoblade Chronicles 3D, though, and have fallen in love with the game. I seriously love this game. I've also played a tiny bit of Xenoblade X and all I can say is "wow". This game is huge. It's a bit weird going between the two since the control-scheme is a bit different.

Happy new year, SOLDIERs!
I hope that the new year for you isn't very cloudy!

I love Xenoblade Chronicles; it's my favorite game on the Wii and Shulk is my 2nd favorite video game character (behind Luigi). You can't imagine how hyped I was when I saw that he got in Smash, along with some nice Xenoblade content.
I bet it does feel weird. X's gameplay is definitely better, but the story in X is weaker compared to the original's philosophical and intriguing story.

Hi, Cloud Social. How is your New Year going? :4cloud: I love that Cloud icon so much. Has anyone noticed that when you pick Cloud's alt, his expression has a little smile? At least it looks like a smile to me.

I can bet you were really hyped!

Yeah, it's weird. As I'm playing through them, I can point out things that I like in one game more than the other. I hope that Monolith Soft can take the best of both games as they make their next game. I like how you can give your character a Shulk or Fiora voice.

I was so sad that Fiora got Aerith'd within the first few hours of the game. Thanks to Smash Bros. Wii U trophies, I am already spoiled to what really happens to her. Fiora's the whole reason I even got interested in the game. When I saw the trophy, I thought she looked cool and I'd check the game out. I'm trying my best to avoid more spoilers as I play through now.

Sorry about going on about Xenoblade, guys. I know it's the Cloud Social. :4cloud:

I've noticed the smile, I'm not sure how I feel about it. It looks out of place yet it looks like it fits


:bluejump:Happy New Year everybody!!

I stayed up all night playing Cloud and listening to Sonic 3 and Knuckles music. Best New Years celebration I've had yet!

I just bought myself a Samsung 32" Class LED 1080p Smart HDTV at Best Buy earlier. I got it all installed and everything and it looks fantastic. I gave my old Toshiba HDTV to my folks for our living room.

Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh!!

Oh, Happy New Years, everyone!

Oh my gosh! So much happiness! OH MY GOSH ALL THE EVERYTHING!?!

My favorite video game of all time, FFIX is coming to PC and phones with updated graphics!! (So what if I already have the physical copy?!)


They even did the graphics perfectly! No revamp, just a polish and shine with HD! Excellent!

BUT on top of that.. they use Kate's song!? I mean I know it's officially licensed now, but I've been a fan of hers since her first FFIX video..

My favorite singer gets their fan-song (now officially licensed by Square), a song I've been listening to for years, into an official trailer?


OH MY GOSH!!

Even if it's being sung by someone else!

HAPPY NEW YEAR OH MY GOSH!! FFIX HYPE! ERUTAN HYPE! *dies*

I feel like a little kid I'm so giddy. ^______^

I haven't even played a Final Fantasy game before. :(

I've heard such good stuff about those.

I've played literally all the numbered Final Fantasy's from 1-14 and the demo to 15 and I've only beaten a hand full of them. I've played a few spinoff's like FF tactics and Crystal Chronicles and loved them all. MY favorites would have to be Final Fantasy 1,5,7,8,9,10,12 and Crystal Chronicles and are the only ones i ever beat lol.

Finally dusted off my 3DS version of my Smash Bros, and downloaded Cloud and Midgar from my joined Wii U purchase.

I have to say I'm very impressed with Midgar. I thought it wouldn't have summons because of the limitations but they are there and still look good.

I have to admit, I got Cloud immediately after I received the game this Christmas. I was so hyped for him since I started my first playthrough of VII only a few months ago. What's great is that the hype is looking completely warranted because he's a very rewarding character.

It also helps that I seem to be great with sword characters, lol.

Good point. The ones going completely insane over him are probably going to be the people who give up on him for his recovery (most likely because they're not saving limit breaks).

Cloud's recovery isn't quite as busted as people make it out to be though, funny enough. Cloud has amazing horizontal magnet hands. So you can space the Climhazzard so that it's difficult to gimp him. When spaced and not climbing the stage from beneath, while it's short and lacks horizontal recovery distance, Cloud's air speed helps big time. That and there's Limit Break as Zenithia Zenithia mentioned (welcome by the way!)

As for me? I'm a Sonic main. Soon to be a Cloud main with my Sonic strong for match-ups and doubles. No chance I'm giving up on Cloud.

Finally someone else preaching about the magnetic hands Cloud possesses.

If I could have magnets like that due to Mako....hmmmm!

I've been playing about with Cloud a lot in friendlies and maaan is he fun. He's probably one of my fave sword users tbh and I absolutely adore his punish game and how strong his limit break can be.

Yeah as I play Cloud more and more, I slowly move into the camp of "Cloud's recovery isn't horrible."

His magnet hands is super good. At least horizontally. And stalling with neutral b and side b is pretty good.

The secret with Cloud is the Mako Magnet Hands and having TWO solid stall options. The other is DI upwards all da time.

The problems melt away the more you play this character, it's both beautiful and scary.

WHOOPS. That ISNT is a autocorrect. I meant to say that it IS pretty good. rofl.


And yeah it's to be expected. We're gonna learn to work around his problems as we play the character, but so is everyone else who is playing against us.

I'm feeling that cloud is more Melee Space tier in regards to recovery. Easy to gimp/intercept, but you cant be brainless about it, and on top of that we have our own recovery mix ups to utilize.

Feels that way yeah. I think this char is easily SUPER viable and I look forward to pushing his meta assuming the patches don't kill him (tho tbh it'd be pretty hard, Limit Break in it of itself is super amazing lol). I'm not too worried though.

BTW Welcome aboard Smash 4 stuff.

I'd be upset if patches kill Cloud. It'd ruin any faith I have in this game and I'm basically starting on empty as it is.

That being said, playing this character without Smash 4 exclusive fundamentals is starting to show its face in my gameplay.

Not airdodging enough, not knowing how to reliably perfect pivot. Trying to chaingrab or regrab too soon lol.

It's hurting me already.

What if you could use reflectors to send back Bahamut Zero's tara/tira/tera(?) flare (don't exactly remember the name)?

Or what if Ness could absorb it?

I believe it's Terra flare. We'd probably get something akin to the Arwing glitch on 3DS where things just exploded.

Or it could do nothing, like what happens with Zero Laser or any other Final Smash.

...Actually, is it possible for a Final Smash and Midgar summon to be going at the same time?

Keep charging your limit break all you want -- it won't do you any good :secretkpop:
