Playing Sm4sh. Cloud is fun.

Kinda reminds me of the Brawl Mod of him I used to use.

Maybe that's why using his moves comes so naturally to me.

Love this guy. Can't wait for Corrin and Bayonetta. <3

I felt the same way too. It was just like the Cloud Strife 2.5 hack.

I feel kind of bummed about Cloud. He's really fun to play, but definitely not tournament viable. I'm a Ness main, and even I feel bad about how hard Cloud can get gimped.

He's been out for a day.

I don't care who anyone thinks they are, we have not seen anything impressive with Cloud. So until then try not to be so eager, okay?

♥
It may be preemptive, but I think his non-LB climhazzard is too gimpable. On day 1 of the last DLC characters, everyone thought Roy would be high tier. Now he's hardly seen outside of locals and early pool games.

Give this man a medal.
You guys aren't even letting the meta develop at all with Cloud in it.

Everyone will say that he's new and we don't know yet, but we've already seen this with Roy. He might be used for now because of lack of MU knowledge, but in a few months, he won't be used that much in tournaments. I really hate so think about it since he's so much fun to play as, but once the hype has died down, people will move on and leave him behind.

Or I'm entirely wrong and he'll the most used character ever. IDK

Ok, Zero made the video yeah yeah. I think Roy still has potential that we haven't tapped into yet. Again, we've seen nothing impressive with Roy. Like you said, no one plays him. We barely see him. So all I ask is that the community sticks to playing Cloud and develops the meta game without opting for a quick placement in mid-tier and calling it a day.

I haven't actually seen Zero's video yet, lol I guess. I personally don't like the word "potential" in the meta, since sadly most of the time it's used as an excuse of nice version of saying low tier. Just to clarify, I'm not saying that everyone should stop using Cloud instantly, just sharing my opinion and where I think he'll be in the future meta considering Smash4's history.

Well, people thought Ryu had potential and he has been climbing on the tier list slowly but surely once people actually started using him. I realize you said, "most of the time." I am just saying, the phrase exists for a reason even if people misuse it.

Whatever floats your boat. But when I say potential, I mean potential that someone can yank them out of mid-tiers in to the top. From what I've seen, it takes a hero to write the book on a character, and if I know anything about heroes in the smash community, they just kinda show up. So, again, don't get too eager. That goes to all of you, ya' got that?

I should make a video talking about the direct. I made a video about that one game with a long title though and it'll be available tomorrow. I wanna get back in the swing of things haha.

But I have some things to say about the things in the direct.

I know what you mean. But for that to happen, someone needs to make that push with the character. Starting with Shulk, people have been talking about "untapped potential" in characters, but since no one has actually made pushes with those characters, they stay mid to low tier. IDK, the game's only a year old, so I agree it's too early to write off characters forever. If the game is still being played competitively in 3-5 years, I hope some of these characters (Shulk, Roy, etc.) will actually be pushed to their limits instead of dropped because they can't beat Sheik or whatever.

How to play with Tap Jump:
  1. Load the game and go to Options
  2. Enable tap jump
  3. Go to Training
  4. Realized you've played for a long time without tap jump.
  5. Disable tap jump.
  6. Repeat.

Look at the Dragon Fang. It's sparkling.

Smash attacks sparkle during the middle of the charge phase if the Smash is held.




First Smash Attack in Smash to have a hitbox during the charge phase. Holla.

That doesn't mean it definitely does have a hitbox. Also Ness' down smash in melee had a charging hitbox. That's how that hitbox glitch occurs I think, and it also can't be charged over the ledge for that reason.

Oh right, forgot about Ness's Yo-yo.

But still, this Fsmash is specifically animated to have the Omega Yato carve them up and put them in place for him to stab them with Dragon Fang. None of Corrin's other attacks have him stab with Dragon Fang in such a manner and posture. That hitbox had to be specifically programmed.

Ness's Yo-yo charge was designed for defense. This is clearly offensively intended.

They showed off this new Spider-Man cover not too long ago.



He's kind of doing a JoJo pose honestly.

Does anybody remember that scene in the first Harry Potter where all the owls come down with letters from Hogwarts as Harry's uncle tries to stop him from getting it? I'm gonna do that to Nintendo but with this image instead



(Also before someone says it--no I'm not salty XD I just find it funny that they can add music to an existing stage for Corrin but not add new XCX music for Gaur Plains)

I actually would have liked to hear XCX music in Smash. If only for the fact it's composed by Hiroyuki Sawano.

(Also, hi, Smash 4 Social. Long time no see. :p)

Playing Cloud has surprisingly been a blast. I'm not the biggest FF7 fan (more of an FF4, FF6 gal myself), but I think he's pretty damn good. Maybe too good, to be honest. I feel like I've picked him up faster than any other character I've tried, and he just feels like a natural upgrade among the swordfighters. His biggest flaw (you know, apart from his normal recovery I guess), to me, is how poorly his alternate color schemes were handled. The blue and purple Advent Children outfits are pretty cool in particular, but the original design doesn't have good variety. Purple, Dark Blue, Other Purple, Ugly Red. I get that they're SOLDIER schemes, but doesn't mean they were good schemes to use. :(

Anyway, I've been getting over my bitterness for Corrin, but I do have to ask because this has been bugging me a bit. Had she not been added as DLC, why do people think she'd be a shoe-in for Smash 5? I mean, this was Corrin's only shot to get in, because eight years down the road, there's gonna be 3-4 newer Fire Emblem games.

Also, hi Smash 4 Social Thread. :p

I wish Corrin turned into a full dragon more often...

Or used his tail for an attack.

Still looks like a really cool character though.

You know, if Lucina had just been an alt costume for Marth like intended, I bet nobody would really complain about the FE characters; I know I wouldn't. She just pads it out too much with samey-ness, honestly.

Like I'd be fine if the FE lineup was :4marth:,:4myfriends:, :4robinm:/:4robinf:,:4feroy:,:4corrin:/:4corrinf:.

Adding :4lucina: to it seems overkill, especially since she's a clone of the predominant FE character moveset (swordfighting).

Hello.

I've been meaning to ask around about Cloud, really want to buy him as soon as possible. So since you apparently have him mind if I ask a question?

Is Finishing Touch hard to land? Because my experience as a Dr. Mario player has taught me to usually not bother with Dr. Tornado and other in place spinning moves unless I need to change things up.

i am so happy with all of the DLC characters so far!! The upcoming one is definitely the one that I'm most excited for because it has one character that I just love (Corrin) and another character that I've really admired for a long time (Bayo). In the last DLC pack, Lucas is one of my favourite characters of all time (but I don't enjoy playing him much at all) Roy is cool, and Ryu is just wonderful. So i was happy to see them being added. The only DLC character I'm kind of meh on is Mewtwo. I liked the Pokemon movie with him when I was a kid but I'm not a Pokemon fan anymore so I don't care much for him personally. But overall I think they've done an amazing job with character selection for this game and February cannot come soon enough!!!!

Not bother with Dr. Tornado!?
Excuse me sir, but Dr. Tornado is the best move ever.

*AHEM*

In all seriousness though, finishing touch can be both easy and hard to land.
It really depends on the situation.
For one thing, it hits all around Cloud, so your opponent can be above you, (slightly) below, left, or right. And it can be used in midair.
Problem is that it's rather predictable (In 1v1s) so you need to either get a read on your opponent, or catch them off guard/at just the right time.
FT is a lot better in Teams and ESPECIALLY in FFAs.
This is just what I've gotten from my person experience though.

Honestly, some people are just overreacting at the FE series' character count.
"It's Fire Emblem Bros featuring Zelda characters!"
Pokemon also has 6, Zelda has 5, which is only 1 less, and Mario has 8, so I don't get why people are suddenly acting like FE takes up half the roster. Especially when one of the FE characters is a clone, which doesn't really count, since that's a special bonus.
