Cloud (SSB4)

==Update history==

Cloud was slightly nerfed in update [[1.1.5]]. His up aerial deals less damage without any changes to knockback, which hinders its KO potential in exchange for ~~racking damage more reliably~~. His KO potential in general was also slightly toned down, as forward smash, down smash, Limit Break Cross Slash, and most notably aerial Finishing Touch received ~~nerfs~~ to their knockback ~~scaling~~. These nerfs, however, have not significantly impacted Cloud's viability, compared to the more severe nerfs to fellow top tiers {{SSB4|Meta Knight}}, {{SSB4|Sheik}} and {{SSB4|Bayonetta}} in updates 1.1.5 and [[1.1.6]]. As a result, while Cloud is slightly worse individually than he was at his release, he is considered to be overall better relative to the cast, and remains a viable character in the [[metagame]].
