Cloud No.57 Amiibo (Nintendo Wii U)

Product Information

I am shocked to see Cloud in it and surprised his sword wasn't wrapped up like it was in Kingdom Hearts. We were watching the same movie daily at one point, so I’m very accustomed to Advent Children Cloud, hahaha! Some really cool amiibo about but I'm relieved I've finally kicked the amiibo collecting habit - not enough functionality for me. Don’t overuse it however as opponents will get smart and avoid them, but using it once in a while can help throw them off and get in some chip damage.

Pose – While normally I would criticize a figure for having a static pose, I really like what Nintendo chose for this Amiibo. If you’re training your Cloud FP to enter tournaments, then there are three things you should never teach it to do: run, jump, taunt, or charge smash attacks.Teaching him Jab can have him do Jab 1 > Jab 2 > Down Smash combos, but for the issue it presents and the lack of killpower on the move, it isn’t worth teaching. With that said, I’m going to review this Amiibo on the strengths of the figure and not let my love of FF7 result in Cloud getting a free pass! Teaching him to charge LIMIT also causes him to sometimes charge right next to an opponent, which isn’t the smartest idea.

You’ll need to take it slow and walkduring training — this will give your FP more time to calculate the best defensive option to use against incoming danger. Similar to Up Tilt, you will want to refrain from teaching Climhazzard out of Down Tilt as his other options are more reliable. Over the last couple of years, sometimes as a video game fan and as a Nintendo fan, you have to step back and say, “Wow, I can’t believe that we live in a world where ________ exists.In terms of some less obvious bonuses to try, some good ideas would be Air Defense ↑, Trade-Off Ability ↑, Floaty Jumps or Move Speed ↑ for recovery, or even a second Weapon Attack ↑ skill. The style of this Amiibo matches the designs of other anime/Japanese like the Fire Emblem characters. By pressing a direction on the movement stick, Cloud will either roll or spot dodge, both of which are terrible for amiibo. You can actually use Neutral or Back Air if you can every now and then for quicker attacks and giving Cloud some breathing room when trying to make it back to stage, but make sure to stick to Forward and Down Aerial mainly.

With that said, this is probably not a character design many people have nostalgia for and if you’re on a budget, you probably just want the better looking one of the two and the Final Fantasy 7 design which is definitely Player One Cloud. Down Smash is another move you can choose to use once as a ledgetrap, since it can send the opponent back offstage.This will also get him to use his LIMIT Cross Slash some more, which is arguably one of his best moves for amiibo.

Cloud’s grabs do almost nothing for him, so it’s not worth teaching him to grab (however one grab doesn’t hurt). Spider-Kev I believe there's a limit to the number of entries we can display on a single page in this case. Due to my experience with Cloud and my love for Final Fantasy 7, I meticulously studied Cloud’s AI to train SEIGENを, who has become an example for the Clouds that follow.Exchange - Normally exchanges are completed within 1-2 working days but we will always let you know of a delay. If I didn’t collect all Amiibos from games I like, I probably would pass on this figure because it is so similar and was not the easiest to find at launch but having reviewed the Player Two, I have surprisingly found I do appreciate it and think it is worth your money if you’re a Final Fantasy fan. When Cloud gets hit out of LIMIT charge, he actually loses a chunk of his gauge, so this is something you will not want to teach. If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. The one I have had the most success with has been with the Forward Smash camp, so that is what this guide will mainly be covering.
