SSBU - Level 9 CPU Cloud self-destructs 20 consecutive times against Sephiroth on clouds

Sephiroth destroys Cloud with the power of... clouds...
I originally had the idea to use Jigglypuff to make a CPU like Little Mac SD an exorbitant amount of times on Super Happy Tree, and it was working very well. But then I decided to try against Cloud since Little Mac seemed too easy a target and it worked just as well, I could even get it done without getting hit. I then thought the whole "pacifist Jigglypuff" thing might be getting overplayed in my videos, so decided to try it with Sephiroth instead because it would be funnier. And while more difficult to pull off, you can certainly still manipulate the CPU Cloud to his doom with Sephiroth (though doing it without getting hit was out of the question). The stock count was another question; I originally envisioned the idea of doing this with 99 stocks, which was certainly possible with Jigglypuff (and I did a similar video in Melee once), but since it would likely stretch over 30 minutes, I ditched the idea on the account that the massive run time would probably turn people off from even watching the video in the first place (let alone actually sit through it all). I ended up settling on 20 stocks, as it's still a very large and nice round number, while it's still enough to potentially show off a variety of ways for Cloud to SD, but it can still fit within 8 minutes, the standard competitive time limit. Maybe if a lot of people express actual interest in seeing a 99 stock version of this with Jigglypuff I'll do it, but otherwise it'll remain a scrapped idea.

One must imagine cloud happy

[@DeluxeGamer705]

At least it took him somewhat longer to self-destruct, but maybe only for a bit. Also, I really love when he gets confused and goes somewhere else. xD

[@Stuggots]

This stage should be legal because of how funny it is

The Little Mac main when a Sonic player counterpicks them to Super Happy Tree

I miss the days when I heard the word "AI" and thought of dumb Level 9s, as opposed to whatever the hell AI is doing now. BTW, something I've been meaning to ask, were your Melee videos the kickstarter to the "Luigi does nothing" meme? Because over the years, I've seen it done quite a bit in other games (mainly Mario Party), but I don't think I remember it being a thing before you did it in Melee.

[@OmegaTyrant]

Oh no, the Mario Party videos predate my videos and is where I got the idea from, this Mario Party 2 video in particular is what started the meme kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2ezqYWtnM-tkNk I did however bring it into Smash, particularly doing it with level nine CPUs (there were a couple videos before, but they were of only single matches and against low level AI, much like how the Mario Party videos are with easy AI). It was always funny though when I got a few comments over the years complaining about me "stealing" the concept from "Nintendo Unity" or whatever that channel is now called, when they started doing LWBDAN videos too in Smash, but only after I done my "LWBDAN against every level 9 CPU" videos in each respective Smash game.

Only if Cloud had some Donbei before the match started

[@GameWatch-xu6sb]

Cloud + s = Clouds.

[@jellybonesmasterfue45]

I need this every time an online cloud players agitate me with their up B, up B, up B.

[@lunarkomet]

Ironic

Lv 9 having maximum skill issues lol PS: i dont say that often so yeah, major flaw right here

[@marioponce8482]

Cloud, what was that on that 8th stock?

[@PlayerPG3D]

Do cloud and sephiroth have good combos

[@JK23111]

NO

[@OmegaTyrant]

What do you mean by good combos? Basically every character in Ult has combos, but Cloud and especially Sephiroth aren't combo-oriented characters. However I never seriously played either and can't give any specific advice on playing them.

[@PlayerPG3D]

@@OmegaTyrant oh I see I just want to know some basic combos for cloud and sephiroth like if they have moves that don’t have lag to them
