Cloud Strife is the main protagonist from Square Enix's Final Fantasy VII and its spin-off material of the Final Fantasy series and is a newcomer for Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U confirmed during the November 2015 Nintendo Direct.[1] Claiming to be a former first-class SOLDIER, Cloud leads a group to stop Sephiroth's plan to use the Black Materia to summon Meteor and destroy the planet. Players who purchase Cloud from the Nintendo eShop will also get his stage based on Final Fantasy VII, Midgar.[2] Alongside his release, DLC Mii Fighter hats based off Chocobos were released.

Much of Cloud's moveset is taken from his original appearance. Several of his attacks are based upon the Limit Break attacks he can obtain. His Final Smash is Omnislash, a Limit Break he learns at the end of the game. He also appears to have a mechanic based on the game's Limit Break mechanic, which appears to make his attacks more powerful than normal.[1]

While Cloud's appearance is primarily based on his original design, an alternate costume using his Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children design is also available.

When customizing Cloud, he can be equipped with Sword, Suit, and Boots equipment. However, like with the other DLC characters, he lacks any custom special variations of his special moves.
