Hey you... yea you... you wanna be a cloud main? I got some tips just for you....trade secrets.... Cloud’s Up special is a wonderful out of shield option. Nearly unpunishable, does around 18% if all hits connect. Don’t go for finishing touch very often. Personally, finishing touch is one of my favorite moves to hit, but the risk is not worth going for. If you’re up one two stocks and want to go for disrespect, then by all means, go for it. Be sure to know the exact numbers for it to kill, so check into that if you’re having trouble Triple Buster is awesome, but like finishing touch, it can be hard to hit. Thankfully, it is still decent to use as a hard punish on your opponent if they miss a tech or other hard reads Forward tilt. Use it. Don’t fall into the habit of using side smash as your main kill option. It’s much faster, and can kill at decent percent. Up smash is also a good option as well As a general rule, don’t go too far off stage. Cloud excels at stage control and he’s super easy to gimp. So for the love of god, CHARGE LIMIT! Please, just charge limit. If you really need that spike, use down tilt at the very edge of the stage to knock them up, then use forward air to send them down. Cross slash is your best friend. It is annoying, sure, but doing a guaranteed 23.5% is worth it. Limit break blade beam can catch people who sit on the ledge. It kills at decent percentages, but you’re foe won’t fall for it again. The spike for the forward air is hard to hit when you pick up cloud. Just be patient, practice. Just keep playing matches until you get the hang of it. (Then again, I couldn’t hit the forward air at all...) Up-Smash is also a good out of shield option. Comes out pretty fast, at least for a smash attack. Don’t charge it. Blade beam is usually an instant kill in sudden death. Play final fantasy seven. It’s great and I like love it. These are just some tips for you my friend. You need to learn for yourself. Good luck...

You can't play Cloud correctly until you press Neutral B 8 frames after the announcer says "Go!"

I am notorious among my friends for being such a bad cloud player. Ever blown a three stock lead?

Cloud looks like a fusion between Ichigo Kurosaki and Minato Namikaze

How to play cloud Plug in your Wii U, boot up smash 4

"It goes almost the entire length of Final Destination." Not...uh...not quite.

Cloud in a nutshell: spaming fair like no ending (and dont forget to make hin unsafe with bad spacing) Side b like you life depends of it

you can use cross slash's first slash to give you a bit of horizontal movement at the peak of your double jump, helping you recover a bit. it might be small but it’s saved me countless times

Finally the kind of character guide I’ve been looking for. Nice and short and fully covers all moves and features, not some painstaking 25 minute long video that’s only part 1 of 3 like all these other crazy smash ultimate guide vids. Perfect tutorial, thanks for this.

Cloud's down tilt can combo into up B while you do the up and down slash in the up B move

As a cloud main, I often use the up special in moments of losing a juggle. That way I can end the juggle usefully. It can work, depending on the opponent.

1:05 “work our way through the entire roster” doesn’t even go halfway

I like how you said "good range" when you did Nair at the beginning of the video.

Don’t get knocked out of your jump offstage or you’re hecked Edit: please do wario next if you haven’t already

"Now just like beam blade." -Choctopus 2019

Hey Choctopus! Big fan of this series. Had a suggestion. Maybe before you start talking about the moveset, give a brief overview of maybe the top 3-5 best and worst matchups for the fighter you’re reviewing. As someone who always looks to play new characters to counter all my friend’s mains, it might be helpful! Doesn’t have to be in depth as to why theyre good or bad matchups

Do meta knight next I want to main him but guidance would be helpful

Corrin please, it seems that everyone forgets her

Some tips from someone who won locals as cloud: Up-b out of shield is amazing. Though it's a meme, it is very fast OOS and does a solid 18 percent. Charge limit at very short bursts during the match. For example, a tiny bit at the start of the game, then charge limit in neutral/advantage state. While limit cross slash is an amazingly fast kill option, it is punishable for a side smash from practically every character. Clouds tilts are amazing. Up tilt combos into up air at low-mid percents, and forward tilt and down tilt both act as ledge guard tactics. Practice two framing (hitting an opponent before they gain invincibility by reaching the ledge) with dash attack. Cloud aerials are also great. Nair and Bair are INCREDIBLY safe on shield, forward air is good for edge guarding cuz it had a good, disjointed hitbox. You should never try to use limit charge down b (finishing touch). The hitbox is actually quite smaller than the visuals on screen, while also being punishable. Fast falling d-air is a safe way to escape juggle scenarios or disadvantage state. Honestly, cloud has poor throws and grabs. They send your opponent too far away and don't combo well. These are simple tips that weren't fully explored in the video. Choctopus made a great breakdown and he covered many of the beginner and some intermediate aspects of clouds game. Please feel free to comment some questions, I will be happy to answer them.

Can we Rosa next. I really want to play her, but I just don’t understand her play style and want to know combos and such, thanks!

Do Space Girl (Rosalina) next. I'd honestly love to main her. But she's hard to learn.

I have been waiting for cloud for so long I’m going to rewatch this 20 times

Can you do Ken/Ryu next? They seem so cool but theyre so intricate and hard to understand

Could you please do Pokemon Trainer next? I sorta main her but need more training, and this guides are AWESOME!

This helped a lot! I’ve been having a hard time finding a wi-fi main, and it’s starting to look like cloud is my guy. He’s the only one that’s really fun for me online. can’t wait to try out these combos 😁

Cloud is my main. This helps a lot!

Dr. Mario next. Please!

Could you do Corrin or Mewtwo next? It would be much appreciated

Do Mario,donkey Kong, diddy Kong, piranha plant, shulk, ike, inkling, marth, pacman, duck hunt, riddley, browser, browser jr, Samus, link, or lucina

Ryu? And can I put a recommendation for the opening line? "Can you learn Ryu? SHORYUKEN!"

Maybe you can do Yoshi, since he is involved in plenty of combos

How to play mewtwo should be next

This is one of my favorite vids of your!! I think zero suit would be a cool guide too!

Please cover Corrin! He’s my secondary and I want to learn to become better at playing him.

Thanks. Just unlocked him and you couldn't explain it better

He is overdue for a How to Play Dark/Pit guide

Olimar or Ice Climbers next, please!

I just got cloud into elite smash By messing around now I feel like I should main him

cloud’s f smash can kill middle weights at around 90 to 80 percent in the middle of the stage. He can kill opponents at 60 or 70 percent at the side of the stage if they are middle weights.

this is one of your best episodes👌

Palutena please, oh father Choctopus

I Pit or Dark Pit. I side main Pit but I still need to practice him a little and I wanna try Dark Pit with a jump start

I’m done being bullied by maining Sonic. Cloud is my new main

Thanks!

As a cloud main you are correct

i have nothing better to do, i'll watch

If you havent done robin please do him

I use to main Sheik during melee, Ness on 64 and now on Ultimate. I quit Smash to play practically just World of Warcraft, than I quit gaming all together for a long time because that game was ruining my social life. I picked up a Switch a few years ago after a long break. Since Sheik is shitty beyond belief now in my opinion. I really think Cloud is a great replacement hints why I'm here. He is quick, versatile and it's freaking Cloud haha.

Cloud was never a SOLDIER though wasnt he?

I would love to see a Lucina guide next

0:00 Still haven't forgiven barret for saying that

How to get ready for SEPHIROTH
