==Cloud's  Limit Break Bar.==
It needs a picture for the charge. I may have a few.
Also, The limit break lowers the kill percent for the Omnislash.[[User:PacmanLP|PacmanLP]] ([[User talk:PacmanLP|talk]]) 03:11, 19 December 2015 (EST)

==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.

== 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.

== 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)
:I personally agree with Miles. There is no real reason to have the point. <span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva; font-size:12pt">[[User:Serpent King|<span style="color:#083">'''Serpent'''</span>]] [[File:SKSig.png|16px|link=]] [[User talk:Serpent King|<span style="color:#ed0;">'''King'''</span></span>]] 01:22, 17 December 2015 (EST)
:It's borderline, there's very little reason to have it, but it'd be better if it were "mainline" instead of "canonical." Mainline, as in FF with numbers, right? Kingdom Hearts, Theatrhythm, and Explorers are not mainline. [[User:Papayazzi|Papayazzi]] ([[User talk:Papayazzi|talk]]) 01:27, 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.
