BeefusDoesStuff if you told me that some day in the far future that Simon from castlevania and Cloud from ff7 would be fighting in a Nintendo game at a Pokémon stadium, I would of laughed too. That sounds like one of those “my uncle who works at Nintendo” stories.
@Marod but he is hard to use once you lose space you die this match is a perfect example of that so saying they get kills doesn't help when there's few defensive options in this game anyway you need to make the right choices with Belmonts or you get punished hard they are not simple characters at all
Simon isn't too difficult if you know how and when to use his projectiles, and how to space properly. In this match Nika kept trying to throw out cross when Kazenoko was right next to him and he got punished every time. He also didn't space very well and let Kazenoko get in too easily. Honestly if you play level headed and don't be too predictable, Simon isn't as unforgiving as he seems, he just punishes sloppy play. Simple set ups like using the cross to force the opponent to jump forward and then you follow up with a fair, use holy water to stop them rushing in, axe to punish platform camping, up B to get an early kill if they get too close to the skybox etc.
@@bluerexplaysgames722 the Advent Children outfit isn't as cool to me as the original outfit, the new Buster Sword is cool looking, but the original outfit is all I can tolerate
I fucking hate fighting the Belmonts but this was so frustrating to watch. Nika played terribly, with no edge pressure whatsoever and terrible option picks🤦🏾♂️
Cloud is easily head and shoulders above every other character in just how it FEELS to just f$!king use. I played Cloud in Dissidia and catching your opponent in a Cross Slash feels so damn good in both games. No need for any of the other characters. Cloud is more than enough for Smash. More FF characters, stages, and music Sakurai. Who gives a flying poop about friggin Fire Emblem or yet another obscure nobody. A step closer to Dissidia is a step in the right direction. God a freaking TWO (TWO!!! TWO!!!!!) pink blobs and a godd$!n potted plant are Smash characters. And you complain about Cloud. Gross.
I never thought Simon Belmont would be able to fight Cloud Strife... this game is awesome
I was about to say the same. If you told me about this match 10 years ago, I would have laughed and moved on

Makes you wonder about the future though. Will Mario vs Master Chief vs Sackboy be a reality one day?
CLOUD MAINS RISE UP!
No anime nerds.
IRAM's Wrestling Highlights I don’t watch anime I just like the character
no sit back down
@@sethwhalen5619 Cloud isnt even from an anime, why was this brought up?
TheMarsGamer final fantasy, I think it counts?
Who are these commentators? It’s the best play by play I’ve heard since Ultimate came out.
The tech of stalling in air with Cross Slash is so good.
TandemTuba it is a regular cloud technique
VERY good commentary btw
Aside from 4:20, 8:32-8:40, and 10:07
I main both Simon and Cloud...
This was pretty interesting~
How to play with Cloud
Step 1: *Cross Slash*
Step 2: uptilt to upair juggle
Advanced step: Purchase FF 7
Hint :You can't do this with your Switch Console. YET
Isaias Saravia Buendia Yes you can
Step 3: Profit
yet another comment here to say how great these commentators are
Not enough holy water... Ggs though...
damn not a single down air from cloud....
2:05 what the hell was that (buggy?) down air from Simon?
i was wondering the same thing
It looks like you have to be so perfect with Simon. I wanna pick him up but the difficulty to close stocks bugs me.

This guy played terribly but the Belmonts can be terribly oppressive all the same

Um, no you don't. Just spam specials. That's, at minimum, more than half of his optimal approach. He's cheesy af. Only wankers play him.
2:05 what the hell
i saw that lmao, thought no one else saw
I didn't see, what ?
I appreciate a woman who can do commentary on smash so well
Tf is that supposed to mean
It's rare... therefore more appreciated by me. Do you need further explaining
*oMHGGGG SExiSt pos*
Austin Starke yikes
Imagine being like this in 2019

Simon: The Last Airbender
"He tried to punish my unpunishable tech and he got punish"
-cloud main
How long until someone adopts the tag Lustin Wong?
This video makes me want to go back to main cloud. I'm still thinking about it though...
Feel like the Belmonts have limited kill options outside of the axe and holy water set-ups - any tips?
Up b kills, down smash also kills while ledge guarding. Grabs are good too
Use more of his down tilt~ it's infamous for being a great combo tool~
I was confused for a moment. I thought that was me.
"CLOUD MAKES US PROUD !"
Next Final Fantasy character: Bartz Klauser.
Proud Clod ?
Smash bros cloud: gets edgegaurded up b sucks for recovery
Advent children cloud: smh
The fact that simon fucking belmont can smash it out with cloud just really represents how cool this game is.
fighting any player who is good as Cloud is like fighting cancer, the chances are against you.
I've yet to see any pro players use the classic Cloud costumes. Why?
Because advent children constume is cooler in every way
Respectfully disagree. The nostalgia beats Advent Children for me.
DriveByWire definitely, the classic purple outfit defines cloud strife
@@bluerexplaysgames722 the Advent Children outfit isn't as cool to me as the original outfit, the new Buster Sword is cool looking, but the original outfit is all I can tolerate
DriveByWire agree, I just love the original buster sword.
As Cloud. Put some scrub at 160+ damage. Get cheapshotted off the stage at 60.
How to play Cloud
1. Approach.
2. Up-B.
3. Repeat.
That Simon plays very well. I just need to point out he missed some opportunities to catch some very good up bs
Zephyr?
Simon is a stronger character 😊😊
*I am sad the comments are full of cloud and no one give my boi simon some love.*
Belmont boys were supposed to hunt Dracula, do not do scandals.
Next Final Fantasy character: Bartz Klauser.
I fucking hate fighting the Belmonts but this was so frustrating to watch. Nika played terribly, with no edge pressure whatsoever and terrible option picks🤦🏾♂️
the belmonts only spam projectiles
Yee
『 SuplexusTM』 yee
yee
BigFarma yee
In this match, yes, and that's why he lost. Good Belmonts know when to use their projectiles.
Bmg have just copied and pasted half of Cloud's moveset on the Greatsword
I think its unfair how there literally praising this cloud
I hope Simon wins
I liked the video so it had 690 likes lol
I feel like I am missing an obvious pun someone please help
Wrong kaze
clouddd
Idk who that female commentator is but.. she's a keeper☺👏

The bias against kaze is heavy here these guys just Nika this Nika that lol
That cloud is ass
worst simon player lmao
Man is it just me or does it seem like: the announcers have no idea what the hell they're talking about?
