Cloud: Difference between revisions

When fighting, Cloud remains in a "combo" of astonishingly rapid sword strokes and occasionally Thunder-based magic attacks, only fighting normally when he seems to be winning and Sora or the others are near. His attacks include: "Sonic Rave/Blade" where he dashes through his opponents; he can also slash his opponents using a powerful combo called "Cross Slash"; he can use "Braver", where he jumps in the air and comes down hard. When enraged, he activates "Omnislash", where he surrounds himself with lightning and starts flying and attacking in a Sephiroth-like manner. Essentially, his entire move set consists of his original Limit Breaks.

Although Cloud is a much weaker boss than Sephiroth in ''Kingdom Hearts'', the fact he was able to go head-to-head with him in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' implies that he wasn't fighting as hard as he could against Sora. Since he acted as a supporting character, but not as a party member in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', Cloud is immune to damage during the period of time he helps Sora's party.

Cloud's basic technique is {{nihongo|'''Cross Slash'''|凶斬り|Kyougiri|lit. "Misfortune Slash"}}, a three-hit sword combo with his Buster Sword which traces out the kanji {{nihongo|"凶"||Kyou|lit. "Misfortune"}}. He can also perform {{nihongo|'''Cross-slash+'''|凶斬り・改|Kyougiri Kai|lit. "Misfortune Slash Revision"}}, in which he teleports behind an opponent before Cross-slash. His strongest technique is {{nihongo|'''Omnislash'''|超究武神覇斬|Choukyūbushinhazan|lit. "Super-ultimate Warrior God's Mastery Slash"}}, where he extends his wing and begins flying around the arena while performing heavy slashes on his opponent. In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', Cloud instead uses '''Omnislash ver5''', based on a technique introduced in ''Final Fantasy VII Advent Children''.

 

Cloud is, by far, the most powerful ally in ''Kingdom Hearts II''; along with being immune to damage, he is able to deal a large amount of damage in a very short amount of time. When using a cheat device to place him in the party, he often single-handedly obliterates even the most dangerous bosses in the game.
