Cloud Strife was never on the radar of gamers nor was he part of the rumors and speculations regarding the next DLC character on “Super Smash Bros 4.”
After the game’s Fighter Ballot ended on October 3, seven possible playable characters made it into the rumors mills including Dixie Kong and King R. Rool from “Donkey Kong Country,” Isaac from “Golden Sun,” Inkling from “Splatoon,” Ridley from “Metroid,” Shovel Knight from “Shovel Knight,” and Professor Layton from “Professor Layton.”
Gamers, however, welcomed the sweet surprise that they got from Nintendo as Cloud Strife is more popular than any of those seven characters previously mentioned to be coming to the game.
Nintendo made the disclosure about Cloud Strife when it featured a trailer of “Super Smash Bros 4” during the December 15 Nintendo Direct event that showed the “Final Fantasy VII” protagonist getting into action on the popular fighting video game.
The video footage is aptly titled “Cloud Storms into Battle” and showed how ready Cloud Strife is in his impending battle with anybody at “Super Smash Bros 4.” The clip showed the spiky-haired mercenary / hero demonstrating his power in a battle against every playable character in the roster of “Super Smash Bros 4.”
