Cloud Strife/Artistropeadope's version

''This blonde haired speedy swordsman's attacks are all around. He uses a six button set and has a keep charge/close-combat playstyle. This version is very fast on foot and equally as fast when airborne. He fights offensively with several hypers and a complex parrying system. If you relentlessly run down your enemies, this is the character for you.''

Gameplay


Aside from this version being asymmetrically programmed with hand drawn sprites, it has an excessively fast dashing speed. This character uses a six button set which excludes the start button. This version can super jump then air jump twice afterwards. Besides air jumping, this Cloud has unlimited air dashes. There is an extremely useful parrying system available with this character too.

Integrated into this character's taunt is a command list which the AI doesn't activate when fighting an opponent. This character's playstyle is very similar to Marvel vs Capcom. The range on this characters sword attacks are a bit long. This Cloud has mostly close ranged attacks that are done via sword and physical strikes so you'll want to fight while dashing towards the opponent. Even though he's a close combat fighter, he still has a sword throw to engage enemies when far away. His physical attacks are comprised of punches, round-house kicks, and sword slashes. Off course, this character has a grab attack but you will have to be smart about it's timing due to it having a grab animation.

This Cloud uses the first tsurugi for all attacks and it can be broken down and fought while disassembled. The AI is mediocre with no opponent altering coding or stat buffs yet this version will often times close distance on the opponent. It comes with seven hypers and two specials, excluding the pop-up attack. This character is a beta release but has no known bugs.
