Cloud

Cloud Strife

Final Fantasy VII
The protagonist of FINAL FANTASY VII, Cloud wields the Buster Sword, a memento from his comrade Zack. Once a SOLDIER of Shinra, he now fights as a mercenary against the corporation he originally served. His decision to join AVALANCHE, however, will transform his destiny.

Gameplay Tips

  • Cloud's Forward and Down Aerials have sweetspots that can spike opponents if hit early. They have considerable startup, however, making them reactable.
  • Cloud's Neutral Special/EX, Blade Beam, is weaker when used in midair than on the ground. Its EX variation hits multiple times and can kill, so be careful!
  • Cloud's Side Special/EX is Cross Slash, a slashing rekka attack with three followups. The regular variant loses to shields, but the EX variant can break them open.
  • Cloud's Up Special, Climhazzard, has a descending followup that spikes opponents by pressing Special again. The EX variant's ascending slash can kill.
  • Beware of Cloud's Down EX - Finishing Touch! The higher the gauge when the move is used, the earlier it can take his opponent's stock!
  • Cloud's Down Tilt can be jump cancelled on successful hit, allowing for aerial combos.

Trivia

  • In FF7 and FF7R, Cloud bombs a reactor for 2000 gil. Knowing the conversion rate from gil to dollars, Cloud basically committed terrorism for around 20 dollars.
  • According to his appearance as a guest in Yo-Kai Watch, Cloud's favorite food is milk.
  • Cloud is prone to getting motion sickness while in boats or airships. Consequently, he doesn't do too well in rollercoasters either.
