The innocuous question.
I've realized my trouble fighting the character for a while, from For Glory to playing with friends. A common issue I seem to have is, Cloud scarcely seems to suffer from landing lag or endlag on many of his moves. While I would instinctively try to follow up his attacks with a punish, they scarcely seem to work. Attempts to shield-grab result in me either being pushed too far away by his giant sword to actually reach the grab (with a variety of characters), and attempts to shield an aerial into a grab are either met with the same result (pushed too far to actually punish), or met with Cloud simply landing and grabbing me before I can react.
So, in short, how do I beat Cloud? What moves and game strategies should I be looking for to properly punish him? In what way is Cloud 'flawed' that most characters can exploit?
