Finally, Cloud's notorious up aerial has been substantially nerfed due to its increased startup with no animation change, significantly reducing its range in front of him, smaller hitboxes on the sword, reduced power and lowered autocancel window; these changes worsen its versatility by removing its ability to start combos on grounded opponents, reducing its incontestability and toning down its previously respectable KO power, with its only buffs being its lowered landing lag and damage making it easier to chain several up aerials together with the aid of platforms. Like most other characters, he was given a boost to his already high stats, with faster movement speed, a frame 3 jumpsquat, and reductions to landing lag, all of which compliments his strong aerial spacing ability and continues to make him one of the most mobile swordfighters in the game.
