Hero vs Cloud
Matchup Tips and Strategies
In the matchup against Cloud, take advantage of Hero's mobility and zoning tools to pressure him, especially in the early game. Utilize your Zapple to cover space and force Cloud to approach, and be ready to capitalize on his recovery with your up-b out of spot dodge to catch him off guard. When Cloud is in the air, aim to hit him with back air or neutral air, as these moves can disrupt his attempts to land safely. Keep an eye on his Limit Charge; if he has it, play more defensively and look for openings to punish his predictable recovery options.
