* GrandfatherClause: The very reason why Cloud speaks Japanese in all regions can attest to this. Cloud's (then-current) English voice, Steve Burton, had a contract that states that only he can voice Cloud in all of his English-speaking appearances, and he needs to be credited in the role. The only problem? Burton's a union-based voice actor. The ''Super Smash Bros.'' series is non-union. And since Burton (and by extension, Nintendo) would inevitably be sued by the Screen Actors' Guild if Cloud was voiced by him in the series with his contract in mind, Nintendo opted to just use Takahiro Sakurai's audio in non-Japanese releases of the games Cloud's in (Burton himself mentioned that he wasn't even contacted to reprise his role by Nintendo). While Cloud did get a new English voice actor in the ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIIRemake'' (Cody Christian), due to the fact that he's only supposed to be Cloud in the Remake games, this is unlikely to change, so he still continues to speak Japanese.
