"Agent 3" is the title of the player character, which is why it may be fitting.


Attempt at a hypothetical Cloud guidance (since DLC characters don't get official ones)

Pit: Whoa! Look at that!
Palutena: I see you're fighting Cloud, Pit. He is an intimidating fighter, isn't he?
Pit: I'm more impressed by the sword he's carrying! It's as big as Magnus's!
Palutena: Yes, Cloud is well-known for the blade he carries, whether he's using the Buster Sword or the Fusion Blade.
Pit: It's a wonder an ordinary human can carry a sword that heavy. I mean, Ike's was one thing, but-
Palutena: It's not a heavy sword, Pit. It's an important sword.
Pit: But... even if it's important, it's still heavy, right?
Palutena: No, it's important.
Pit: uh...
Viridi: He probably can only wield it with all that energy he's stolen from the planet.
Pit: Viridi? What are you talking about, anyway?
Viridi: Oh, just look at him. He's positively dripping with life-energy ripped from the planet. It's like he's drenched in blood! Just like a human.
Palutena: It is true that Cloud was enhanced beyond normal human limits with mako energy, taken from the planet's lifestream.
Viridi: Hah! just another greedy-
Palutena: But he later joined the AVALANCHE group to put an end to that process by breaking mako reactors, and bring down the company heading the effort.
Vridi: ... Well... he shouldn't be using that power in the first place! It's disgusting! should at least plant some trees to apologize
Pit: Aaaanyway, got any advice for fighting him?
Palutena: Oh yes. Like I said, Cloud has been enhanced to break normal human limits
Viridi: Hmph!
Palutena: So watch out when he goes into his Limit Break state! All his attacks will become more powerful, reach farther, and just generally be harder to deal with. I'd suggest keeping your distance until it runs out, since he's largely a melee fighter. But watch out for his Blade Beam. You can reflect it with your Guardian Orbitars, but it flies farther and faster while he's in Limit Break mode. So watch out.\\

Oh right...Duck Hunt, that makes three I guess.

The comments about Cloud being evidence of pandering to the western audience amuses me. As does the idea that they like the reaction videos tongue

It interested me that the guy who made the article said he was looking for Smash to buy and it was already sold out everywhere.

Is Cloud really getting a lot of people to buy the game? tongue

Yeah, the comments are pretty much 1:1 with what I noticed in these parts. There's even a guy asking for Cloud in PSASBR, which baffles the fuck outta me because I could've sworn the Japanese didn't give two shits about it. tongue

[up][up][up] Cloud as an appeal to foreigners, aka us? I mean, I guess FFVII arguably has a bit more cultural resonance in the West as the "gateway JRPG", but that's still an odd way to consider it.

And I remember in one of those React videos with the Japanese Youtubers that there's this general impression of Americans as zany and over-the-top, so I can actually buy the Japanese watching American reaction videos. It helps that the one linked is Etika flinging around packaging paper in excitement.

[up][up] I'll be real, it's really making me consider committing to that Wii U purchase.

"Internet filth of Japan"
My sides just can't handle this, I love whoever typed that comment.[lol]

What's funny is as far as I can tell, the people saying Cloud was added to appease American fans aren't without merit- he's been recieved waaaaaaay better here in America than I thought. Says something that a majority of SmashFAQs is actually extremely happy with him. Mind, that's probably where a lot of Smash arguments wind up being the most divisive.

They should just make Smash like Lo L where it’s free to play and you can pay to get more characters

Snake!

Cloud dressed up like a girl would be adorable…

Please, Square-Enix! Put Geno in too!

Go back to Play Station!

Way too many male characters. We need more female characters, it’s getting way too unbalanced!

Nintendo has finally broken its limit

It’s not THAT surprising – he was in two 3DS Theatrhythm games after all

If they’re gonna add new characters, someone like Jibanyan or a squid would’ve been a more exciting choice, I think. But FF 7 is REALLY popular with foreigners, so it’s probably an attempt to appeal to them.

Square-Enix must be hurting financially

As always, the Internet filth of Japan gives a coldhearted response.

Put him in PS All-Stars too

Don’t want, put Ice Climbers back in

My favorite quotes. Basically, exactly the same as how the west responded.

Super-picky and underimpressed describes most gamers, actually.

Heck, now that I think about it if they had put Bartz in and given him a job change mechanism, he could've actually been a pretty cool fighter.

I'm actually looking forward to Cloud even though I've played only a little of FFVII once (game overed at the boss...like I did in VI).

AAAAUUUUGGGHHHH!!!!
