These two new playable characters were revealed as segment in Nintendo Direct December broadcast's comprehensive final video presentation for Wii U and 3DS fighting game, Super Smash Bros. 4
Game creator Masahiro Sakurai who hosted the anticipated event detailed Cloud Strife DLC and how the Final Fantasy 7 protagonist takes part in the world of the brawler game. He stated in the video, "Adding this character seemed all but impossible, but we made it happen. We had a lot of requests for 'Final Fantasy' characters to join 'Smash Bros.' but among all of them, Cloud has been requested the most."
In addition, Corrin from Fire Emblem was also confirmed to be playable, either male or the female version but both performing identically the same. Corrin will be able to use the final form of the Yato blade, the Omega Yato.
The new character can also transform into a dragon with the use of the Dragon Fang. In dragon form, Corrin can use body parts of the dragon like wings and the long reach for attacks. Such are the Dragon Fang Shot which can paralyze or bite enemies and Dragon Ascent which makes full use of the wings. The fighter's final smash is called Torrential Roar where several opponents can be pulled in dealt with finishing blows all together with a whirl of water.
