Maybe this was just to make sure that Playstation All Stars never sells another copy? Their best character has now gone over to the competition.

I was not expecting this... at all. Wow.
Pretty cool. There already seems to be a lot of people that completely fail to understand how the video game industry works. Yes, Final Fantasy VII was a Playstation title, but Square-Enix owns the rights pertaining to the games. So they can throw whatever character on whatever platform they want. Cloud is a Square-Enix character. Not a PlayStation character. It's seriously not that hard of a concept to grasp.
Ack, sorry, it's just that this is cool news, but I already have been seeing so many try hards coming out of the wood work claim that Cloud can't appear on a Nintendo thing when the Brawl had the Playstation heavy Snake appear on it. Even with stages, music, and plenty of assets in Brawl. EDIT: Just thought of this too. Music from MGS4 was in Brawl. At the time, MGS4 was not released. Nintendo let a Playstation 3 game get advertised on the Wii. Welcome to 2008. So again, people need to stop freaking out.
Gamers are the worst people.
I found this rather surprising, but it's not like this hasn't happened before. Recall Ryu and Snake. I think Cloud works well since imo, he represents the FF franchise as a whole than just FF7 in specific, and it did get its start on the NES.
Now I think I want to get this.
Will there be a Cloud amiibo? In fact, is there a Ryu amiibo? I know all the other characters in the game have them.
Oh joy, the two things I hate listening to fanboys drone on about are together in one title. :wcanoe:
If this make any of y'all go out and buy the game and you're looking to get y'allz asses whooped in some WiFi matches lemme know.
Cloud looks like a very potent character based on the trailer, but we'll see once he's out in the wild. It looks like his special set is Cross-Slash (B)/Blade Beam (Side-B)/Climhazzard (Up-B)/Finishing Touch (Down-B) with Omnislash as his Final Smash.
I do have to hand it to Sakurai on this one; absolutely nobody I know saw this coming, and he managed to keep it under wraps until the official reveal.
