In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'', Cloud was confirmed as a purchasable downloadable fighter for both games in the November 2015 Nintendo Direct.<ref>Nintendo (November 12, 2015). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nc3CY31kMJ4 Nintendo Direct Trailer]. ''YouTube''.</ref> By purchasing Cloud from the [[mariowiki:Nintendo eShop|Nintendo eShop]], players would also receive a stage based on ''Final Fantasy VII'', [[Midgar (stage)|Midgar]] and two music tracks, ''Let the Battles Begin!'' and ''Fight On!'' This makes Cloud the first specifically named ''Final Fantasy'' character to appear in crossovers with the cast and other Nintendo characters, as previous ''Final Fantasy'' crossover characters have been generic creatures (such as [[Moogle]]) and job classes (such as [[Black Mage]]). He has since been joined in this distinction by his nemesis Sephiroth. | |||
In the game, Cloud can move quickly on the ground, though in the air he moves more slowly and falls quickly. He wields the Buster Sword, a giant sword given to him by his deceased friend Zack Fair that gives his attacks power and range, though they generally start more slowly. He also has a Limit Break mechanic, similar to [[mariowiki:Little Mac|Little Mac]]'s Power Meter. When Cloud attacks or is attacked, his Limit Gauge fills up, and when it is full Cloud is covered by a blue aura that boosts his stats, and for one use only powers up one of his special moves when one of them is used. Cloud can also charge his Limit Gauge manually with his [[Limit Charge]] down special. In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', the Limit Gauge is displayed at all times above his character profile during a match, similar to Little Mac's Power Meter.<ref>Nintendo. (June 12, 2018).

Cloud's | Most of Cloud's special moves are taken from the Limit Breaks he can obtain in ''Final Fantasy VII''. His standard special is [[Blade Beam]], in which Cloud swings his sword to fire a beam forward. His side special is [[Cross Slash]], in which Cloud swings his sword in the shape of a Japanese character to damage opponents. His up special is [[Climhazzard]], in which Cloud swings his sword to propel himself directly up into the air. When the Limit Gauge is filled, Cloud's down special becomes [[Finishing Touch]], a whirlwind that deals very minimal damage but very high knockback. His [[mariowiki:Final Smash|Final Smash]] is [[Omnislash]], in which Cloud hits opponents into the air and rapidly and repeatedly slashes them. | ||
Cloud is one of the lightest heavyweight characters, being heavier than [[mariowiki:Lucario|Lucario]], [[mariowiki:Mario|Mario]], [[mariowiki:Dr. Mario|Dr. Mario]] and [[mariowiki:Corrin|Corrin]], lighter than [[mariowiki:Mega Man|Mega Man]], [[mariowiki:Shulk|Shulk]] and [[mariowiki:Ryu|Ryu]], while having the same weight as the default weight for the [[mariowiki:Mii|Mii Fighters]]. | |||
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. | |||
Cloud's alternate colors are based upon the uniforms for the different classes of SOLDIER. He also has alternate costumes using his ''[[Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' design, which includes the Fusion Swords in place of the Buster Sword. Two of his ''Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children'' costumes have a sleeve used to hide his [[Geostigma]]-infected arm, while the others leave his arm bare, revealing it without any signs of Geostigma and with the ribbon he wears in memory of Aerith Gainsborough. | |||
Despite having almost all of his home series appearances dubbed in English, and a few earlier appearances dubbed in additional languages, Cloud speaks only Japanese in both games, similar to [[mariowiki:Marth|Marth]] and [[mariowiki:Roy|Roy]] prior to ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''. | |||
