I've been using Cloud for years, and I feel like I've always been somewhat aware something was off about Cross Slash. But once I really started to think about it, and look into it, things only got weirder. Before I knew it, I was obsessed with this beautiful, ridiculous move. So today, let's take a look at the only asymmetrical attack in Smash, and all of its very very silly implications.

Sephiroth's single orb shadow flare always strikes from the right so if you have a reflector it's advantageous to be to the left of him so a reflected orb can hit him

The year is 20FF. Everyone plays Cloud at TAS levels of perfection. Because of this, the winner of a match depends on who starts on the left side of the stage.

I spend hours in the lab and I found a neat Right Cloud tech that is the ultimate counterplay. If you push the stick to the right, Cloud will do this weird animation that I like to call "turning around". He'll enter a state where his side-b hitbox gets altered and it might be just as good as Left Cloud's.
-
This is beautiful It almost makes me want to analyze hundreds of tournament matches and create a comprehensive list of every time the side that Cloud is on has mattered

I cannot possibly express my enjoyment that I have finally found another fish spatula enjoyer. Best kitchen tool hands down. Also your comedic style is still amazing good stuff.

Apparently the mold rating thing refers to the Howard Mold Count method, which basically boils down to "if I take a sample and split it into 50 pieces, how many of them have any mold in them?" So 75% would be something like "38 of these sub-samples have mold in them." Less distressing than the jam literally being 75% mold, but honestly still pretty hard core. I learned this specifically because of this video. Right Cloud gang.

Left cloud? Right cloud? The only Cloud I know is the one on Yoshi's Story.

Thank you WhyDo, as a Cloud player I can now blame all my losses on my spawn position instead of my own lack of skill!

The Cloud meta is evolving ban Cloud

As a proud member of the Elite "knew about left vs right Cloud since Smash 4" group, here is a hilarious trivia fact Cloud actually writes the kanji with a completely wrong stroke order in both the original Final Fantasy VII and in the Remake, as he finishes it off with the x in the middle, rather than the box, which is the correct version; a fact that Sakurai himself explicitly pointed out when discussing Cloud's implementation previously, but decided to have Cloud use correct caligraphy in his game because he wanted correct caligraphy regardless

Makes so much more sense, I’ve been losing to my friend cause I play right cloud, thank you so much for the advice
-
1:00 left cloud, right cloud, can we just appreciate this hard ass read?
-
I haven’t started the video, but I am very excited to figure out how in the world this could be 15 minutes long
-
“but this is smash brothers, and we know things can never be that simple”
-
God, this makes so much sense from the writing standpoint but hurts from a gameplay standpoint
-
I personally like SoundCloud
-
Always love how the pacing and quality of jokes in your videos on extremely obscure topics make it feel like I didn't just spend 15 minutes watching a video about the hitboxes of a singular move. I will now spread this cursed knowledge to everyone I know.
-
buying a fish spatula now thank you whydo
-
This is the best way to gaslight your Cloud "friends", thanks WhyDo.

I took some Japanese classes, and I can testify that they care a whole lot about stroke order in those types of languages. So this actually doesn’t really surprise me, actually
