It's no surprise that I hate his character, and his voice actor. However, in this game, I hate him so much more. When your fighting him, no matter if he is computer controlled, or by a human opponent, they seem to ALWAYS start with the fire ball move thingy.

Then you hear this on the inevitable firing of at least 3 at a time. (Which is utterly useless. Why does anyone even use that move?!):

BURN!
BURN!
BURN!

Seriously, couldn't the guy have tried to put ANY emotion into that? Then if you actually manage to get hit by his Omnimusha Version 5 you hear, "no hard feelings".

I seriously hate his voice actor, as well as his attitude. I could rant for hours on how he tries way too hard to be a badass, (like what he did during the ending... Bloody git bastard) but I'll save that for when I want to troll the FFVII boards.

Does anyone else get annoyed by the consistant "BURN! BURN! BURN!" when you're fighting Cloud? Or am I the only one annoyed by just about everything the character Cloud does in general?
 
It doesn't really bother me him saying Burn. When I'm fighting my friends Friend Card in Ghost Battle, whenever I heard that word, I know its a good time to use Oblivion =P
His lack of emotion is just a general thing, its like with Squall, he doesn't want to show his emotions. 'Cause Cloud's always seen himself as weak, I suppose he doesn't want to show people his weakness by hiding his emotions.
 
Bart Simpson says it best:

Cool your jets, man.

Don't blame the voice actors, blame script writers and directors, they're the ones that tell him what to say and how to say it. Besides, if you hate him that much, just don't play as him XD
 
That is a fairly good point, "don't play as him". And you can avoid fighting him in Quick Battle, sometimes avoid him in Duel Colosseum, and when it comes to Story Mode, live with it.
Plus, his voice doesn't sound that bad, nor do the things he says.
 
Well, thats your opinion. When I fight him, I laugh at his emotionless taunts. It actually make me feel like he and I are actually fighting and it makes him look badass. His tactics provide a good challenge and I guess are supposed to infuriate you at first. Just train some more so you can beat him with skillz. Exdeath was beating the living crap outta me and she was over twenty levels over me and with hard work, I deciphered her tactics and beat her, with my low level. Just keep at it, an his voice actor is just doing his job :mokken:
 
Meh, I guess I'm the only one. I could say Tidus' voice does the same thing, but his attacks are extremely predictable. I can go multiple battles and not be hit by any of Tidus' moves.

Besides, if you hate him that much, just don't play as him XD

I don't, but I have a couple of friends that main as him. We play on Ad Hoc a lot, so you can see where the problem lies.

Maybe it's just me, but it's one of my pet peeves I guess you could say. I seriously can't stand Cloud, or Tidus, but if I had to pick the lesser of two evils, I'd probably have to go with Tidus, at least he has some emotion, even though he's a whiny little prick.
 
He really isn't whiny. And besides, when have you actually met someone that didn't have SOMETHING about them that didn't annoy you? And these charcters are just that- characters. Try not to let them bug you. They are like that to entertain people. Hating them for fun is a different story. Truly hating them is just kind of sad. -.-
 
Cloud is a crap character. I don't get why most AI clouds have fire instead of firaga though. Firaga is actually alright. Still, cloud is overrated and he sucks.
 
Well, thats your opinion.

Well... Obviously.

Are you kidding? I don't have any problems beating him at all. He's easy, his moves are crap, easy to dodge. If never takes me more than a minute and a half to beat him on 9/9 difficulty with 9/9 action at level 105. He's simple, plus, I use Zidane, whom of which is much faster. My build with Zidane currently makes me almost unable to be broken by any character. In fact, the only challenge I get is from another player that knows how to dodge cancel. (Dodge canceling is AWESOME!)

Every now and then on Ad Hoc, I'll get hit by my opponent, which is where I hear, "no hard feelings." But obviously, you're a Cloud fanboy (no offense) so you probably won't read most of this and just comment back about how I'm wrong.

Well, I hate him for multiple reasons, he's whiny and annoying. That, and I hold FFX and Tidus, along with the cast of characters of that game to be particularly responsible for the lowering of quality on the FF series. (Just my opinion mind you.)

Anyway, I can see now that this is going to lead into a debate. If a mod reads this, you may want to lock it.
 
First of all, Id like to say that this is the most ridiculously funny thread I have read so far (not including the SSJTrunks episode).

Second, If you dont like Cloud and can avoid him then why are you moaning? I dont get it.

Finally, I think Cloud is rather a good character, the voice actor must have worked hard. dont give him a hard time for trying to put food on the table for his wife and kids! :monster:
 
Your post was actually pretty funny. Take no offense by it, but it's almost as if no one has read my post above yours. I have friends that main with Cloud. So if I ever want to fight with a human opponent, 9/10 times I'm fighting Cloud.

Also, since when do people have a problem grasping the concept of an opinion? Sure, you don't get why I'm moaning, yet when you have an issue with a game, a character, or something along those lines, I'm 100% sure you do the same.

Also, you thinking Cloud is a great character is an opinion. Yet you don't see morons bitching at you for it, because your opinion matches that of the majority. I think the character is crap, and I believe the voice actor is terrible. However, the character Cloud is the reason the character must be voiced like that, meaning, I dislike Cloud even more. And I'll give anyone a hard time if I damn well please.

Just like Joey said, if you can beat him, why are you moaning? I dont get it. Beating him makes you mad :confused: ? If you can own him, then listening to his emotionless taunts should not disturb you. And yeah, I'm a Cloud fan boy. But that is not the driving point of my argument, I though he was beating you. Since he isnt, I see no reason to berate him.

I'm moaning because it's a pet peeve. Like... When it rains and someone wanted it to be sunny. Sure, you can beat the rain with an umbrella, but it's still annoying. It doesn't change the fact that it's there. It doesn't change the fact that I still have to hear "BURN!" over and over again. Sure, I can kick Cloud's ass, but I can't make him not use that move.

If there is someone at school that you hate and you kick their ass. It isn't going to make him go away, and I can promise you that at the end of the day, you'll still complain about it.

Did that make any sense at all to you guys, or are all of you still about as dim as a 5 year old light bulb? It's common sense, if you can't understand it, then I have nothing more to say.

Also, just because most of you are Cloud fanboys, doesn't mean you have to white knight for Cloud ever chance you get. Jeez you guys are annoying.
 
I guess it is kind of annoying for us to be defending Cloud so much. And I know that it is your opinion, but, how many threads do you see on this site titled 'I Love Cloud. (Especially in this game) Maybe instead, you should've posted a 'Which character irritates you more?' Thread, so everyone can express the pet peeves in peace.

Actually, that make perfect sense.

Actually, it's more annoying that I get posts saying "I don't understand", when we're all guilty of doing exactly what I did in some shape or form. Even if you truly don't understand, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out, maybe because it's not that hard to understand.

Joey's post still cracks me up to be quite honest. XD

I'm going to go finish my turkey and watch Static Shock. (Ownage cartoon show that I watched as a kid that I'm currently having nostalgia over.)
 
It doesn't matter what game you'll play, there's always going to be a character you hate. I personally like Cloud and didn't mind his voice actor. In fact, I don't think anyone could've done a better job than Steve Burton for Cloud. He's meant to sound somewhat emotionless and cold. Fighting him can be a pain sometimes, but practice makes perfect, right? If you don't want to fight him, then just ... don't. Simple solution, really.
 
I lol'd :wacky:

Back to topic though, there's nothing you can really do about Cloud's voice actor other than mute every fight with him tbh, you can't exactly change it. Imo I think it suits well since Cloud is far from confident and generally has a calm and cool attitude, save encounters with Sephiroth he doesn't really shout or anything. Just the same level pitch pretty much.

I'm glad you like the post. It was meant to be funny, yet I can see why you would definitely delete it. I would like to mute it, but I enjoy listening to the music of Dissidia. Basically, I posted this thread knowing that there wasn't a damned thing I could do about it. It was more of a rant, and seeing if anyone had the same mindset as me, or had the same general feeling but with a different character.

If anyone wants to know what the reply toFelicity Evans was... You're better off not reading it. However, it basically stated that I've had to repeat the fact that I have multiple friends that main as Cloud and we play on Ad Hoc very often multiple times.

Meredy, t'would be better to lock/delete this thread because obviously this has done little more than invoke Cloud fanboys to become butthurt, and have people reply without reading previous posts.

Besides, my point has been made, and unless I see someone make a post in here that actually has some logical thought behind it about the current subject at hand, I'll more than likely ignore it. (Or unleash the motherfucking caps lock...)
