Social Limits are meant to be broken! Cloud for SSB5!

[GHNeko]

It'd prob be better to make a thread dedicated to music so that posts dont get lost. This is our only thread, so no harm in branching out.

 

[JesseMcCloud]

The guy will still be easy to pick up and play, but he will be immediately much less rewarding but he'll still be fun so I'm down for that.

And picking him won't be an auto-gimp. TRUE Cloud mains will still be able to shine, but hopefully with less grief from salty Bayo mains.

 

[GHNeko]

Speaking of autogimp. He can snap to ledge on Climhazzard 2 when he starts from below the ledge now PogChamp

 

[fogbadge]

hope he brings a bit more final fantasy content with him

 

[magiciandude]

Maybe when people thought Cloud was the next Snake and would be dropped from Smash 5 while ignoring the fact Square Enix is not Konami? Good times, lol

Climhazzard 2?

 

[roymustang1990-]

Other unused limit breaks like Meteor Rain or possibly elemental materia through the insertion of custom moves would be nice even though I think that would be too game changing for cloud xD

 

[CardiganBoy]

Welp, what' can i say? i'm gonna main him again, now let's wait till December 9th and Final Fantasy VII remake.

Shame about his nerfs, but eh, i'm still playing this spiky a#@.

 

[GHNeko]

Climhazzard 2?

The downward part of Climhazzard. Usually if a move has multiple parts, you numerate each part. So Climhazzard 1 is rising, Cross Slash 2 is the 2nd input of crossslash. Dancing Blade 4 is the last input, etc etc.

Gotcha. So does Climhazzard 2 immediately snap to the ledge, or does there appear to be a minimum amount of distance required first?

I'm not sure if there is a minimum required distanced, but I do know that the distance you need to travel for Clim 2 to snap was relaxed.

hmm was hoping the music here would get a remix but im glad to see him back

 

[Rizen]

Is Cloud's sword smaller?

 

[JesseMcCloud]

ZeRo is convinced Cloud will be very, very good in this. Jump to 1:39:40 (NSFW language warning)

Seeing that this is the only thread in the forum, I take it this is the Cloud social?

B-But I was gonna make a new Cloud Social!

I want to edit the thread title so i can add witty quotes and memes and ****. :eyes:

New match vid

 

[Deleted member]

Can I mention how surreal it is that Cloud Strife is in Smash Bros.? I rewatched his trailer for Smash 4 and even I couldn't believe it still.

I'm so glad that Ultimate brought back everyone when I thought that would never happen and I thought Cloud was going to get cut even. Seeing him return makes me really happy and I can't wait to play as him again, regardless if he has been heavily nerfed. (though looking at his gameplay, he seems fine)

 

[Iron Maw]

Another match vid from Nairo:

 

[GHNeko]

Cloud in limit looks oppressive as **** lmao.

 

[JesseMcCloud]

Cloud in limit looks oppressive as **** lmao.

How so?

 

[Capybara Gaming]

Still rather ironic that two of the biggest faces of the original Playstation, Solid Snake and Cloud Strife, can finally do battle.

In a Nintendo game.

That's gotta be the ultimate middle finger to Sony and... I kind of love it.

That feeling when Nintendo has more FFVII content at E3 than Sony and Square-Enix COMBINED...

 

[StriderAaron360]

Cloud showing up in the “Everyone is here” trailer made me pop off hard. Hopefully the nerfs deter most of the fake Cloud mains.

 

[GHNeko]

How so?

Air options seem to be worse than in Smash 4, making Cloud's strings and follow ups scarier.

On top of being able to do anythign out of dash, this means that you can dash dance in neutral and punish with a dtilt that sets you up for a trap in the air. Easier dash dancing means that whiff punishing with limit specials is also good, and it seems like Limit Climhazzard is just as good of a kill option off the top as it was in Smash 4.

So it looks like we have a bit of another nerf to deal with.

If Cloud gets hit while charging limit he loses gauge.

 

[roymustang1990-]

Okay that new nerf sounds more reasonable than the 15 second limit then you lose limit which makes charging limit unsatisfact oring

 

[JesseMcCloud]

New match. Cloud is looking fresh, although I still hate the timer on his Limit.

 

[meleebrawler]

Cloud and his Playstation friends have now come full circle.

 

[MacSmitty]

And now FFVII will appear on Nintendo systems for the very first time. Now people will stop the whole "PlayStation Mascot" thing I guess.

 

[Tino]

^What are you talking about here?

FFVII is getting ported to the Switch, and now there won't be as many "Cloud doesn't even have his main game on Nintendo platforms" argument anymore.

It does make me wonder about other possible FF reps.

 

[DragonKent17]

VIII is the only PlayStation title not ported right now.

I just saw the direct earlier and I was like “well I’ll be damn” Never though it would actually happen. And that argument has been dead a long time ago.

VIII is the only PlayStation title not ported right now.

It’s a shame too cuz it’s such a great game, even better than IX in my opinion.

 

[SonicMario]

Never been an RPG guy but I was happy to see Final Fantasy 7 come to the Switch. Now don't get me wrong, I really liked Cloud in Smash already. He was my favorite DLC character in Smash 4 in fact. But certainly now he feels like a long lost part of Nintendo's family that's finally made it home with FF7 on Switch. ^^

 

[DNeon]

I've been off the boards for a while but apparently Verg has mentioned a second character from Square. Just tangential to this thread but as Sqenix fans who are your picks for a second Square Smasher?

I would really, really love to see Terra as a playable character. If she got in, it would be a dream come true.

 

[Yosher]

I just came in to say that I always was one of those people who hated the idea of having Cloud in Smash because he really did feel like a Sony mascot took a wrong left turn. I know Cloud is popular and all but I don't care, Smash to me should be about Nintendo, and Cloud ruined that to a degree. Final Fantasy IX is one of my favourite games, Vivi is one of my favourite characters ever, but I wouldn't even want him in Smash for the same reason.

But now that Final Fantasy VII is finally coming to a Nintendo console, I can finally, HAPPILY, welcome Cloud in Smash Bros with open arms. I'm super happy with all these Final Fantasy games coming to the Switch and I'll be buying most, if not all of them, because holy crap this is amazing. Welcome home Cloud! It's been a long time coming but you're finally home.

And to add to the above discussion; I might be crucified for saying this but with FF IX coming as well, and with Black Mages being such iconic characters/classes in the Final Fantasy games, Vivi has just shot up to becoming one of my top most wanted characters, and as a Square rep would like him a ton more than I ever wanted Geno (who I never wanted that much to begin with, but hey), and much moreso than any other Final Fantasy/Square rep as well. I know it will not happen in a billion years, but hey. If it happens I'm making him my second main (right after Yoshi).
