Changes[]
Cloud's slash during the Beam Blade deals damage.
Moveset[]
- Cloud can wall jump.
- Unique about Cloud is that he has a Limit Gauge, which fills up when he attacks, gets hit or uses his down special before it is filled completely. When the gauge is completely filled, Cloud is surrounded by blue aura while saying "Genkai wo Koeru" if he fills it completely by using his down special, indicating that the gauge is filled. In this state, Cloud's ground, air, and falling speed are increased drastically, and his special moves are buffed, and his down special is now changed. When he uses a special move though, the gauge is depleted instantly.
