Cloud vs Shulk
When facing Shulk as Cloud, it's crucial to respect the range and power of Shulk's various Monado Arts. When he switches to Buster, take advantage of his increased damage vulnerability by becoming more aggressive and punishing him with Cloud's strong aerials and limit breaks. Conversely, if Shulk activates Smash, maintain your distance to avoid his powerful attacks until the effect wears off. Always be ready to capitalize on any missed Back Slash, using Cloud's quick mobility to close the gap and unleash a combo, while also being mindful of positioning to zone out Shulk effectively.
