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...

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.

@renegarcia28575 жыл бұрын
As a general tip, respect his range when he jumps and shield his aerial aproaches, then punish him IF he is landing on you, otherwise keep patience. The best places to engage Cloud are on the ground close and far range (since his best options are mid range aerials and has very poor answers to proyectiles), and off stage (because of his linear and limited recovery). Most Cloud players I have seen space and spam their aerials very poorly so try to patiently shield them on the ground then grab them when they land or punish whith your fastest out of shield option. And lastly Clouds best stance is facing away from the oponent to engage with either back air or up air so be careful not to try and chase him, better wait for him to turn around or force him to with pressure of your own.
