Cloud

Cloud is a human from the Final Fantasy series. He first debuted in the game Final Fantasy VII and was purchasable DLC for Super Smash Bros. 4.

Moveset
Over the course of normal play, Cloud will charge up a meter called the Limit Gauge by taking or dealing damage, or by manually charging with down special. A visual meter of his current state of charge is always present above his character portrait. When filled up, Cloud's body will emit a blue, fiery aura and is granted upgraded, single use versions of his special moves, as well as enhanced mobility for the duration of the charge. These upgraded versions of his moves are known as Limit Break Variants. He can double jump and wall jump.

Taunts
Up Taunt: Cloud twirls the Buster Sword and places it behind his back while saying 興味ないね ("I'm not interested.")

Side Taunt: Cloud places the Buster Sword on his back, places his hands together, and mimics the casting animation from Final Fantasy VII, complete with the sound effect and glow.

Down Taunt: Cloud leans on the Buster Sword while scoffing.

Victory Poses
Cloud twirls the Buster Sword with one hand and places it on his back with his eyes closed and says "悪く思うな", which translates to "No hard feelings."

While turning away from the camera, Cloud twirls the Buster Sword, places it on his back and then looks to the left while hiding his face, saying "ついてないな", which translates to "Better luck next time."
