Cloud Hero Matchups and Tips

Cloud

S Tier

Cloud excels in spacing and punishing opponents with his impressive range, making his Back air a key tool for controlling the battlefield, especially on platforms. Utilize Blade Beam to pressure opponents and destroy projectiles, forcing them to approach while you charge your Limit. However, be wary of characters that can outmaneuver you or exploit your weaker neutral game; fighting in the middle of the stage can mitigate this. When recovering, Climhazzard is an excellent option to catch edgeguarders off-guard, allowing you to maintain a strong position while avoiding risky situations.

Tips for Cloud

  • Cloud's upb comes out frame 7 and is a great out of shield option. it can also be used to punish aggressive players after an whiffed attack. It's safe most of the time?
  • When fighting Isabelle, use neutral B to destroy any Lloyd burials she might set up.
  • Limit Side+B is the option that does the most %dmg. If you happen to fill limit while the opponent is at low%, this is a good option to rack their percent up. However, Limit Down+B kills most @ 60-80%
  • Cloud's best spacing tool is Back air. This move is very great, especially if you get counter picked to a Battlefield-like stage as it's spacing through platforms helps your neutral game as Cloud.
  • Charge your limit to force enemies to approach. Spot dodge and punish openings.
