Cloud Strife is the main protagonist from Final Fantasy VII, whom also makes many appearances in Kingdom Hearts series. He also appears as a playable character in the Playstation version of Ehrgeiz, Dissidia: Final Fantasy and Dissidia 012: Final Fantasy, and will be released as a downloadable fighter in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U.

Cloud was born in the town of Nibelheim, with aspirations of joining SOLDIER, an elite military unit of the megacorporation Shinra. Although Cloud did not possess the qualities necessary to join SOLDIER, he did end up becoming an ordinary footsoldier where he met and befriended Zack Fair, a 1st class member of SOLDIER. Seven years prior to the events of Final Fantasy VII, Cloud was sent to assist Zack and Sephiroth in investigating the Mako reactor at Mt. Nibel, near his hometown. After Sephiroth went insane, Cloud managed to defeat him by throwing him into the Mako pit below the reactor. Impressed by Cloud and Zack's ability to defeat Sephiroth, Professor Hojo took both of them as specimens, injecting Cloud with Jenova's cells. Zack and a now comatose Cloud managed to escape their capture, but not before Zack was killed by Shinra mercenaries. Due to Cloud's inability to cope with Jenova's cells in his body, he subconsciously assumed Zack's memories and identity, replacing his own.

In M.U.G.E.N, mutiple versions of Cloud have been made. Some older versions were made using sprites of Trunks from the Sega Genesis Dragon Ball Z game, while newer versions are bigger and make heavier use of Cloud's Buster Sword.

This Cloud is a heavy edit of Future Trunks from Dragon Ball Z: Super Butouden 3. The character contains both a fighting stance and a sword wielding stance, similar to Ehrgeiz. Unlike Ehrgeiz, Cloud can cast Ice and Bolt spells at varying strengths.

Hyuga's version

This Cloud appears to be ripped from Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. Its A.I. is quite odd, as it will usually gets serious only once it gets hit. Cloud has mostly Specials that can deal a lot of damage.

ANMC's version

This Cloud appears to be ripped from the 3D fighting game, Ehrgeiz; it uses some of his limit skills such as Cross-slash and the Omnislash. The character is extremely buggy, as some attacks can cause it to indefinitely fall through the floor.

Ninja_Naruto's version

This is a edit of the Cloud from Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. It is three-button character with a few moves, though it suffers from an "easy button" style of gameplay, making it possible to pull off infinites with ease.

YAMAKICHI's version

This version uses many of Cloud's iconic moves such as Cross-Slash and Omnislash. It makes frequent use of the Buster Sword.
