Joker vs Cloud
Matchup Tips and Strategies
When playing Joker against Cloud, focus on applying pressure to limit Cloud's recovery options, especially when he has Limit Break charged. Use your Blade Beam (Limit version) at the edge to intercept Joker's attempts to grab the ledge, as it can effectively gimp him when he is vulnerable without Arsene. Additionally, be ready to predict and counter Cloud's Down B, as it can leave him open for a punish if you anticipate his moves. Maintain stage control and look for opportunities to capitalize on Cloud's cooldowns after he uses his specials, allowing you to maximize your damage output and set up for a potential KO.
Tips for Joker vs Cloud
Joker: always try to gimp cloud, and use Down B and predict limit.
Use your Blade Beam (Limit version) on the edge to prevent Joker (without Arsene) to grab it.
Limit Cross Slash can work too but the Blade beam works better.
