==Limit Breaker quote==
Thanks to whoever added the up taunt, I've listened to the Limit Breaker line he says when he charges his Limit Breaker to the max, I'm pretty sure he says 限界を超える (genkai wo koeru) which translates to like "(I) exceed the limit" which would make sense, so if anyone could add that, feel free to.

== Attacks ==

The page currently says that Omnislash's name is "not confirmed", but there's an obvious box at the top of the screen reading "Omnislash" in the trailer. I think that's confirmation enough. Also, while these aren't officially confirmed by name yet, Cloud is seen using moves whose PS1 FF7 names are Blade Beam and Cross Slash, and while this one is far more speculative than the others, I believe his Up-B is supposed to be Climhazzard. --[[Special:Contributions/131.107.147.30|131.107.147.30]] 19:15, 12 November 2015 (EST)

:: Neither is listed on the page right now, but they're in the trailer. Blade Beam is what it sounds like: a big beam of green energy that flies out from Cloud's sword (1:39 in the trailer). Cross Slash is the move where he creates some kanji in the air in front of him with several slashes (1:41).

::: Just on point with Cross-Slash, the kanji (凶) is actually part of the Japanese name for the move 凶斬り (Kyōgiri), which pretty much cements it as that move. (Lest we get its localized name of Slayer...) [[Special:Contributions/114.198.1.74|114.198.1.74]] 21:24, 12 November 2015 (EST)

Cloud's final smash is currently listed as resembling Robin's "pair up", but I think having Ike as the target was a nod to the possible, if not merely aesthetic, similarity to Ike's own final smash, "Great Aether". [[User:Festivefish|Festivefish]] ([[User talk:Festivefish|talk]]) 14:48, 13 November 2015 (EST)
:The note was changed since it had greater horizontal range akin to Pair Up, as opposed to Great Aether which can only hit if the opponent is right in front of Ike. That said, there's a bunch of similar Final Smashes (see also [[Secret Ninja Attack]] and [[Omega Blitz]]), so there's not really just one valid comparison.

== Cloud's moveset. ==

I don't know if I'm allowed to do this, but I'm placing little tips I found out about Cloud's moveset here just in case someone sets up his moveset table.
*Down throw: It sends opponents at a weird angle behind him (sorta of like Wario's down throw) and the only move that combo off of it that I know so far is his forward tilt.
*Forward aerial: It seems like the bottom of his forward air can meteor smash.
*Down aerial: Has a surprisingly long duration, and it seems like it can meteor smash and any time.
*Up aerial: Like his down aerial, it has a surprisingly long duration.
*Forward smash: Very powerful, but it seems to have a lot of lag.
*Climhazzard: Has more horizontal recovery when used with the Limit Break activated.
[[User:HawkSoulBacon|HawkSoulBacon, your one true love :)]] ([[User talk:HawkSoulBacon|talk]]) 20:42, 15 December 2015 (EST)

== Attributes==
Some things that might be added into the attributes section, from basic playtesting:
*Very low short hop and very high jumps (almost as high as Falco).
*Poor recovery, especially horizontally - excluding Limit Break Climhazzard.
*Okay combo and good edgeguarding potential.

== Trivia Point-Canonical Appearances ==

I had recently added a small tidbit to the trivia point in question; here's the original version-"Cloud is the first character in the Super Smash Bros. series to not have a canonical appearance from his respective mainline series on a Nintendo console."

Now here's what I added-"He is also the only character in SSB4 with this distinction." As there hasn't even been a confirmation nor denial for a fifth Smash Bros. installment, I felt it was necessary to add, but two users ([http://www.ssbwiki.com/User:Papayazzi  one of which who was rather rude about the idea]) have both undone it and possibly violated [[SW:1RV]] in the process, explaining that it is redundant. I was trying to explain how Cloud is the only character in Super Smash Bros. 4 that didn't make any canonical appearances in Final Fantasy games that were released on Nintendo platforms, and not just in the entire Super Smash Bros. series.

Furthermore, another reason I added this was because so far, Nintendo or Masahiro Sakurai hasn't confirmed nor denied that Super Smash Bros. 4 would be the last in the series (even though Sakurai ''hinted'' it would be his last work in the franchise, but that statement's sort of ambiguous if you ask me).

So, the big question-do we include it or remove it entirely? <font face="Papyrus">[[User:15DollarsWentSouth|<span style="color: lightblue;">'''15DollarsWentSouth'''</span>]]</font> 00:57, 17 December 2015 (EST)
:It's an ambiguous and questionably worthwhile piece of trivia to begin with, I think, especially given that what constitutes "canonical" is questionable for some series.

Cloud's the first and only character in the Smash series that doesn't have a canonical/mainline appearance on a Nintendo console. So you could just combine first and only [[User:Papayazzi|Papayazzi]] ([[User talk:Papayazzi|talk]]) 01:17, 17 December 2015 (EST)

Also, saying something about the entire series implies the entire series so far. You don't have to add anything after that unless something in the future pops up that will contradict that statement. Example, I can state this true statement: Of all my parents children, I'm the only boy in my family. Then say mom gives birth to a boy. Well, I can't say I'm the only boy anymore. I can say I'm the first boy, or the oldest boy. See that? [[User:Papayazzi|Papayazzi]] ([[User talk:Papayazzi|talk]]) 01:21, 17 December 2015 (EST)

== Cloudcide ==

The second hit of Cloud's up-B can be used as a suicide attack, but only if it spikes, and on last stock Cloud will almost always lose.  However, a certain part of Cloud's blade can cause a Sudden Death, but if you use it from too high up the enemy can escape before Cloud dies.

I am anonymous, btw.
:Well, first thing to note, it'd be Cloud''cide'', not Cloudside, if one were to do the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portmanteau  portmanteau] correctly. The other thing being, it's not a command grab (like Wario's Chomp or Bowser's Flying Slam) that can safely be pulled off, so the term probably wouldn't catch on in the Smash 4 community anyway. Not to mention he's only been out for almost 2 days. <font face="Papyrus">[[User:15DollarsWentSouth|<span style="color: lightblue;">'''15DollarsWentSouth'''</span>]]</font> 08:18, 17 December 2015 (EST)

==Cloud's description on his approach is outdated==
As the article reads, Cloud is very strong in doubles play, more so than his singles results. This is evident with pretty much every winning team for doubles in major tournaments having a Cloud. In fact, his strengths do not transfer over to his singles plays, drastically so. So to say that he is "one of the most effective characters at spacing, approaching, and zoning" is a stretch. We can all agree with spacing and zoning because that's fundamental for his character archetype, but "approaching"? 
	
His approach is mediocre at best. In order for Cloud to pressure he has to be in the air and attack, and this strategy can only go so far when eventually Cloud has to land. Since his ground game is a bit trash he can't pressure that well as we all though he could. The fact that Cloud's aerial moves initiate from behind counteracts his long range, power, and speed. Cloud is much better at walling out opponents, a plan that works remarkably well in doubles but doesn't fare well in singles. Top players' voices and results have discredited the idea Cloud is very good at approaching. —[[User: Tiers_nonexistent|<font color="Magenta">S+ Tier</font>]] ([[User talk: Tiers_nonexistent|<font color="Purple">List</font>]]) <font color="Aqua">|</font> [[File:Isohunt.jpg|20px|link=Special:Contributions/Tiers_nonexistent|Look what I've done!!!]] 00:45, 30 April 2017 (EDT)

I'm posting this here because it is still very established his approach is very good, when in reality it's just below average, and I'm trying to get some backing here in case someone reverts changes. —[[User: Tiers_nonexistent|<font color="Magenta">S+ Tier</font>]] ([[User talk: Tiers_nonexistent|<font color="Purple">List</font>]]) <font color="Aqua">|</font> [[File:Isohunt.jpg|20px|link=Special:Contributions/Tiers_nonexistent|Look what I've done!!!]] 20:05, 30 April 2017 (EDT)

:::<strike>Trust me I'm also tired of seeing all these damn Clouds</strike> I'm unsure, but I doubt it is a bad idea to mention what you have (aerials start from behind, below-average ground moveset). I agree on the point where Cloud has a "meh" neutral game, mostly because now I believe people mistake his excellent ''neutral'' as a good approach. He has a ton of leeway to make mistakes, but he doesn't have many approach options apart from spamming massive aerials or using his speed (Or infamously forcing his opponent to approach by charging Limit).

I just saw that you listed Leo as the best which he isn't he was certainly the best Cloud early 2017 but Since EVO 2017, Tweek's Cloud has seen improved results and wins so there is no way Leo is better especially since Tweek has better wins with Cloud and has higher peaks (he got 3rd at EVO 2017 by going solo Cloud and he won LEO Saga by primarly using Cloud both of which are S+ tier tourneys). So you should just take into account all the results and not just those of this year. Because most people consider Tweek tied with Leo for best Cloud.

== Decrease Cloud's MHSP limit back to the default 10 players ==

So when the "Notable players" sections were overhauled into the "Most historically significant players" sections, a hard 10 player limit was added to every section to reign in the bloat that plagued the "Notable players" lists so severely, with a small handful being given an expanded 15 player limit (or 20 in the case of Melee Fox), when I deemed that the character had more than 10 players that were too indispensable to the character's meta history to exclude. One of these characters were Smash 4 Cloud, as most people would probably agree with on the surface, being the #2 character in Smash 4 by a significant margin and being played by a disgustingly large amount of people, and so I included Cloud in the expanded limit without giving it the scrutiny I should have. When looking over Cloud's MHSP section now, I see many players that are clearly a level or two below the other players, and don't really stack up all that high when considering the very high standards that a character like Cloud carries:

*{{Sm|Blacktwins}}, who was never PGR'd a single time, and never top 8'd a major either, while having only two major top 16s.

*{{Sm|Mangalitza♀}}, whose lack of getting PGR'd could be blamed on the PGR undervaluing Japanese players throughout Smash 4, but even then, his only major results are a 65th at {{Trn|Umebura S.A.T.}} and 49th at {{Trn|Umebura Japan Major}}, while rarely getting top 8 at Japanese regionals. Was winning {{Trn|Sumabato 21}} alone really enough to make him a historically significant Cloud?

*{{Sm|MattyG}}, who was never PGR'd a single time and also never top 8'd a single major, with only a single major top 16 {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2017}}.

*{{Sm|Purple~H}}, who was never PGR'd and doesn't seem to have attended any Smash 4 majors. Is once being considered top 10 in Europe, back when it was even weaker as a superregion than it is Ultimate, really that historically significant with a character of Cloud's caliber?

*{{Sm|Ralphie}}, yet another NA Cloud that was never PGR'd, and never top 8'd a major (excluding the post-Ultimate {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2019}}, which a hilarious amount of the notable Smash 4 players dropped out of), and has a single major top 16 at {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2018}}.

You remove these five players that are clearly a cut below the rest, and the section would become 10 players, while there's also other disputable cases like {{Sm|ANTi}} (how much Cloud did he really use?), {{Sm|Javi}} (how much of his results is attributed to Sheik and not Cloud?), and {{Sm|Mao}} (was his lack of being PGR'd really attributable to Japan being underrated, or was he simply never actually of top 50 caliber?). Compare Cloud's MHSP section to [[Bayonetta (SSB4)#Most historically significant players|Bayo's MHSP section]], and the players in Cloud's are just clearly worse across the board. As such, I'm going to propose decreasing Smash 4 Cloud's MHSP limit back to the default 10. If you oppose this, do provide a compelling reason for why these disputed players are too important to Smash 4's Cloud's history to not include. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[File: TyranitarMS.png ]] 22:08, January 8, 2025 (EST)

As kind of a side note, I looked into ANTi and Javi a bit more to determine how much Cloud they actually used.
:ANTI: Cloud was at least a frequently-used secondary for him. He used Cloud in Grand Finals against Zinoto to win CEO 2016, and has also defeated CaptainZack (Pax Arena 2017) and Samsora (DHATL 2017) with just Cloud. He has also used Cloud in games to defeat Kameme (Smashdown World, 1 game of Cloud), NAKAT (GENESIS 4, 2 games of Cloud) . As for events, he primarily used Cloud to place 5th at DHATL 2017 and has secondaried Cloud at multiple other events.
:Javi: Javi's Cloud was actually more of a co-main than a secondary, at least until 2018. He has used Cloud to defeat Ned (Big House 7) and Cosmos (DreamHack Denver 2017) as well as in games to defeat Abadango (Big House 7, 2 games) and MkLeo (The Arena 2017, 1 game). At events, he notably used only Cloud to place 4th at Midwest Mayhem 7: Mexico Invasion and used primarily Cloud to place 2nd at The Arena 2017, 9th at 2GGC: GENESIS Saga, and 17th at 2GGC: West Side Saga.

At least to me, I don't think ANTi's Cloud is the reason as to why ANTi is ranked on the PGR 100 (his Mario had a significantly bigger impact) while Javi's Cloud certainly helped him rank on the PGR and the PGR 100, so I would personally remove ANTi and keep Javi.
