Up until today, our biggest problem with Super Smash Bros. Brawl has been that it doesn't have enough introspective, spiky-haired RPG protagonists. That's all changed, thanks to a group of modders known as DasDonkey Team and Kitty Corp: Meow Mix. Final Fantasy VII protagonist Cloud Strife -- along with his trusty Buster sword -- has been faithfully recreated in surprising detail here in Nintendo's franchise fight-em-up with custom animations and attacks. We won't pretend to understand the motivation behind the implementation (with these mods, we so seldom do), but hey, we're not complaining. The more, the merrier!
Head past the break to check out some video of Cloud in action.
1: Because final fantasy fanboys 2: Because brawl fanboys 3: Because, well actually, technically this is an impressive graphical hack, even if the outcome is a little rough looking.
@Alive: It's not his opinion, it's the way he gave it. If he had just said "I don't really like Cloud or Brawl", more people would be cool with it (there might still be one or two who will downvote him regardless). However, the way he stated his opinion was just arrogant and spiteful, and could be misconstrued as trolling.
Well, this is relatively impressive. Sure, he pretty much just moves like Ike... except some of his stances and attacks look more similar to someone else I can't quite place.
And the short bit of the Final Smash they showed was impressive. Pretty much just Great Aether with a different animation in the middle, but cool nonetheless.
I'd definitely love to have this hack on my Wii, simply for the novelty of something that probably won't ever happen.
Where is a good guide on getting started with adding these hacks to my copy of Brawl? My Wii is already modded, I am just wondering if there's a good guide out there. Has anyone successfully added new (or old N64) stages to Brawl?
