Newest ‘Smash Bros.’ Reveal is Cloud from ‘Final Fantasy VII’

by Natalie Kipper

Today’s Nintendo Direct revealed many games and DLC, but nothing came out of left field as much as the announcement that Final Fantasy VII‘s Cloud Strife, would be joining the roster of Smash Bros. The spiky-haired hero bears about the same appearance as he did in Final Fantasy: Crisis Core. Cloud’s two costumes (the only ones shown anyways) were his traditional battle attire and his outfit from Advent Children.

His battle stage, the city of Midgar, appears to have the series’ summon creatures, like Ramuh and Odin, pop up as hazards. Cloud’s attack moves include his final limit break, Omnislash. The little title message on the top of the screen from the original game remains intact (see image below).
