It means he's not used as a main, but a player may still decide to use him if they feel like their main would be at a disadvantage. Cloud is a fairly easy character to use effectively, and as a result he's a popular alternative. I main with Link but I'll break out Ike or Cloud on occasion, thus they are my pocket characters.
It's the context that makes it great: Mr. R was facing Dabuz, who was up 2-0 in sets on him this year; Mr. R went down 0-2 in their (loser's bracket) set before making the switch to Cloud, and then managed the reverse 3-0 taking it all the way to last stock, last hit. It was clutch-as-fuck and that's why it's deservedly #1.
People really give Cloud and Cloud players too much hate. Sure, he's not as difficult to play as some characters, but you generally have to have very good fundamentals to play Cloud at a top level. You have to play defensively to not get tossed offstage because Cloud has a horrendous recovery. And, of course, characters like Sheik and Bayonetta can gimp him very early. This character doesn't give you free wins and isn't overpowered whatsoever. People seriously need to just learn the matchup instead of complaining about a decently balanced and very strong character.
I think he is a little too strong. But I agree he isn't the problem people make him out to be. Rosalina is a problem. I enjoy playing against cloud because you always know what mistakes your making.
Dreadfury Cloud is kinda overpowered. People can still learn the match-up pretty well and beat him, but that doesn't make him any less broken or more fair. He's beatable, but still unfair.
Well... If Cloud does no longer becomes faster and stronger when he has limit break on, have some end lag on limit cross slash, and some end lag and landing lag on Uair, then Cloud wouldn't be broken. With this nerf, Cloud and anyone who mains him, won't get any hate, and he will become a balanced character. They could probably make charging the limit break slightly faster tho...
Merfilicious _ Honestly, neither needs to be nerfed. They should just give more characters small buffs.If they just continuously nerf the characters that are top tier, this game will get stale really fast
When you lose to a For Glory Olimar I main cloud...kinda because I loved final fantasy 7, and advent children. Buuut I don't play online. the 3ds players only use bayonetta now and its rare I dont fight a bayo main.
Most People: *Talks bad about Tweek for dropping Bowser Jr for Cloud even tho he just enjoys the character more* Same People: *Celebrates that Mr. R beat Dabuz by counter-picking Rosa's worst(?) matchup* No hate for Mr. R, i love watching him play. But this community is so bad sometimes lol
1:10 was INSANE even though it likely wasn't an intentional setup. M2K having the awareness that he only had to tap limit to get it, and that amazing setup. So PogChamp
Cloud's side B limit break is pretty over powered. I mean that in the sense that it comes out realllly quick and has like ZERO cool down time. You can barely punish it.....a move close to the strength of a falcon punch and comes out faster, yet no ending lag
New drinking game: when you go on For Glory and find a Cloud player,take a shot of liquor every time he uses Limit Breaker, I guarantee you will die of alcohol poisoning in less than a minute
Just yesterday, I confirmed a stock on my friend with the first hit of cross slash twice in a row followed by a Limit cross slash. We both had to stop playing for a good few minutes to analyze what the hell happened xD
Imma be honest and say.. Cloud isn't hype, literally its throw out random aerials and charge limit until you can kill with it... No skill is required with Cloud, maybe the occasional read but that's all. Bayonetta actually requires skill so she is "more hype" than cloud is.
Any character with a long-charging one-hit move is going to be hype just due to the craziness that happens when their move is charged. Also, Bayo more skill than Cloud? How many times have I seen Bayo spam witch time then get a 0-death when it connects?
RipleySawzen Since the patch? Not as often as you think, sure its an easy way to wrack damage, but the combos and potential of it is pretty hype. With cloud, you get rewarded for making mistakes with limit break since it charges when getting hit, and unlike little mac. It cannot be knocked out. Plus 90% of clouds run away or throw the opponent away to charge it up.
i just really hope DLC isnt in the next game. when i was a kid playing these games, i loved unlocking characters and stages. it gave a sense of accomplishment. but now all you have to do is pay 5.99 for bayonetta or cloud and you can win most matches with little to no practice.
Sure you can win FG by buying these characters but you will never win a tournament by simply just buying these characters. Every characters needs at least somewhat practice and skill to be good at
You think winning with those types of characters is easy? You need to make the right reads, know what to do in different situations, hit combos consistently, etc. You try getting far with cloud or bayo without much practice. You'll just get bodied.
***** I dont hate him bc I'm salty af. I just don't like him, the way he plays, and how much people play him just BC they play to win instead of playing a character they like and developing their meta. There's probably only a handful of people that play cloud BC they like his character the rest just love how broken and abusable some of his techniques are. But BC of how much of them there is I've gotten pretty good at "learning the match up" so your argument is invalid. (:
DATDUMBDOG I literally just said that I don't struggle against cloud? are you not listening? and I'm not gonna pick up a top tier and make the game easier for myself just so I can have a better chance at beating people. its not about tiers its about their player. sorry your a sell out and dropped a cool character for a broken one. also people were saying "learn the matchup" against bayonetta and she still got nerfed so your argument is invalid.

He read that, reread it, wrote a sequel, published it, and made a couple million off of it.
This video proves to me that Cloud would actually be a really hype character if he wasn't pocketed by everyone and their grandmother.
It means he's not used as a main, but a player may still decide to use him if they feel like their main would be at a disadvantage. Cloud is a fairly easy character to use effectively, and as a result he's a popular alternative. I main with Link but I'll break out Ike or Cloud on occasion, thus they are my pocket characters.
This could be you for a simple $5.99
Koala-tea Khantent shut up and take my money
Me too! I want Bayonetta, Roy, Lucas, Ryu, Corrin, and Mewtwo also!
And a hint of skill
Wait...
No, no, you had it right.

FelixFaction Someone already posted this on twitter. But I'm not hating you for posting it here
Pretty sure Plasma Smash already posted this in Twitter
why do people care, enjoy the fucking joke lmao this isn't copyrighted material
To all the people who say he stole the joke: when did he claim it as his own? It's a joke, meant to entertain.
I've come to expect Mr. R in most clips, but number 1 could've easily been swapped with half of the others.
Was fairly tame in terms of a Limit Break, so have to agree.
It's the context that makes it great: Mr. R was facing Dabuz, who was up 2-0 in sets on him this year; Mr. R went down 0-2 in their (loser's bracket) set before making the switch to Cloud, and then managed the reverse 3-0 taking it all the way to last stock, last hit. It was clutch-as-fuck and that's why it's deservedly #1.
the context of the counterpick by Mr. R made it so great.
I like cloud I dont see the problem
To add on to contractor's comment, Dabuz was doing so well with Olimar, but then Mr.R throws it out and it kills him at almost a 100% deficit.
*_Limits Are Meant To Be Broken_*
*_Cloud’s Limit Break Is Considered A_*
*_Broken Move_*
With only 2 weeks of training your Cloud could be better than your main could in a year 👍
Miguel Ibarra this is true
Miguel Ibarra sad but true
Miguel Ibarra
More like 2 days of Cloud training
Miguel Ibarra Yep, that was me.
Alter Ego more like 2 hours

I think he is a little too strong. But I agree he isn't the problem people make him out to be. Rosalina is a problem. I enjoy playing against cloud because you always know what mistakes your making.
The only thing I disagree with about is how LCS (Limit Cross Slash) has literally 0 cooldown. Other than that, pretty well balanced overall.
Dreadfury

Advent Children Cloud is so fucking overused
The Trolldier Its a cool costume I liked the movie
The Trolldier That's why I try to use classic Cloud as much as I can
Cloud Denzmore Same, but I don't really play Cloud that much.
Mike BLUU It was a great movie! I just feel like most people choose it cuz it looks "edgier".
The Trolldier Oh yeah definitely "edgier" absolutely
'Cloud isn't broken cuz he has a bad recovery.'
Cloud main logic:
Brawl Olimar = Not broken
Melee Falcon = God - awful
R.O.B. = +SSS Tier
When you lose to a For Glory Olimar I main cloud...kinda because I loved final fantasy 7, and advent children. Buuut I don't play online. the 3ds players only use bayonetta now and its rare I dont fight a bayo main.
Seth Slayton Ok. Sorry about my comment btw. I was just a little salty at the time lol.
When you lose to a For Glory Olimar Its fine. And I do find cloud hard to play because my real main is pikachu. XD
That's a terrible analogy.
#4 was the read of all reads.
i did the same on my friend haha, he was a bayo though

That's just instinctive synergy right there.

Kevin Raphael the drawback is that its not easy to land
It's way more easier to land than falcon funch

MoroXII 😂
That can be punished easily,but I see where you were going with that.
What a great way to celebrate Cloud's 1 year reveal anniversary ^^
Great video but one if my favorite smash 4 moments was the MKleo cross slash on dabuzz... The crowd BLEW UP! Haha

The synchronized Finishing Touch was beautiful :P
" He read that like six months ago" I laughed my ass off

1:13 that was beautiful synergy, brutal finish
Congrats on 20,000 subs man, keep making great content!
I didn't even see Zeroskill Samus jump. One minute she was on the ground, next thing I know she's right up in those DM's I mean limit break
He used her down special and literally jumped into the cross slash.
2:55 & 3:14 - I replayed this like 10 times, 😂😂😭😭 I CANT BREATH WHOOOO! 😩
Congrats on 20k
You know the match is awesome when two separate moments of the same match are in the video
2:27 some guy in the back looked like he had a heart attack lol
4:18 wait a minute, if that's mr r...
then who's that on the right of the screen...?
It's Bear tho lol
this video really needs the Javi/Leo team combo from Smash Factor 5 you know which one I'm talking about
I thought that one would be first
I want to shower after that first one it was so damn dirty
2:25
LOL at D1 dying after that.
God damn man, that double finishing touch was just brutal.

Just yesterday, I confirmed a stock on my friend with the first hit of cross slash twice in a row followed by a Limit cross slash. We both had to stop playing for a good few minutes to analyze what the hell happened xD
#1 should have been either the double finishing touch, or the double cross slash. That cross slash was overkill tho..
Nah man, that Double kill Climhazard was beautiful.
Umm why wasn't Ned vs jjrockets on here. He literally up aired him across the stage and finishing touched him near the blast zone
The replace the word limit with my patience. Cause that how it feels.
2:57 Well R.I.P. Mario, dayum
Cloud combos are AWESOME
why wasn't the first clip ever in a 0 to death vid top10
Lol cloud vs olimar. The real surprise/top ten moment is that he got him up to 170% before dying. (It's not cool if it's god tier v D rank)
"He read that like 6 months ago." 😂😂😂
So much M2K obviously. Love it.

RipleySawzen Lol, there are 2 kinds of people... You, and the first guy who responded XD
I stopped reading at "throw out random aerials".
2:20 this was not a read. this man looked into the future.
i just really hope DLC isnt in the next game. when i was a kid playing these games, i loved unlocking characters and stages. it gave a sense of accomplishment. but now all you have to do is pay 5.99 for bayonetta or cloud and you can win most matches with little to no practice.
Anime Addict DLC makes it to where you can have more characters past the release date. It's a good thing.
Uh, even if they are easy, to get this far in tournament, you need a lot of skill regardless.
Sure you can win FG by buying these characters but you will never win a tournament by simply just buying these characters. Every characters needs at least somewhat practice and skill to be good at
You think winning with those types of characters is easy? You need to make the right reads, know what to do in different situations, hit combos consistently, etc.
