-Cloud isn't dubbed, due to the contract they have with his English VA and Nintendo not working with VA unions. As of Ultimate, this makes him the only playable fighter still speaking in Japanese.
-Not counting the Victory theme, Final Fantasy only has two music tracks in the game again (despite Smash 4 DLC promo videos using two additional FF7 tracks: "Opening / Bombing Mission" and "Electric de Chocobo").
-There are no Final Fantasy Spirits in Ultimate, and the only two Square Enix-owned characters who got Spirits are Mallow and Geno from Super Mario RPG.
-Allegedly, Cloud isn't even encountered in the World of Light Adventure mode, and is unlocked upon completing it. All of the other fighters can be found during normal gameplay.

Makes me wonder why even bother with a non-Mario Square DLC rep if this is how they're behaving with Cloud.

They should just delete him out of the game.

I don't understand why the fuck Cloud made it into Smash in the first place tbh

Well, to be fair, he is a gaming icon, and that's what Smash has seemingly transitioned into over the years.

It's a shame that unlike the other third party characters--even the Konami reps--Cloud has just the very bare minimum of representation in Smash.

I don't see how this makes Square stingy. If Nintendo chooses not to work with VA unions, that's their choice.

That's true, but at the same time, other union VAs in the game got around it by going uncredited.

Due to Square's contract, Cloud's VA can't even do that.
