Cloud - Player 2 - number 58
Cloud – Player 2 amiibo (Super Smash Bros. Series)
The name does not significantly differ between regions. It is marketed as “Cloud – Player 2” in North America and Europe, and as the alternate color version of Cloud in Japan. The figure was released in July 2017 in Europe and Japan. In the United States, Cloud – Player 2 launched in July 2017 and was distributed exclusively through the retailer GameStop.
This amiibo is a writeable figure. It can both read and store data. In compatible Super Smash Bros. titles, it creates a Figure Player (FP) that learns from battles. The stored data remains on the figure itself and can be transferred between consoles of the same software generation.
The design depicts Cloud in his Advent Children outfit. The clothing is darker than the standard Player 1 version. He wears a black sleeveless outfit with a high collar and a single shoulder guard on the left side. The Fusion Sword rests on his back in a vertical position. His stance is slightly turned, knees bent, sword angled behind him, as if pausing between movements. The pose mirrors his battle-ready posture in Super Smash Bros., not a cinematic scene but an in-game stance adapted into sculpted form.
Cloud originates from Final Fantasy VII, first released in 1997. In that title, he is a former SOLDIER operative who becomes central to the conflict surrounding Shinra and Sephiroth. The Player 2 variant references his appearance in Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, the later film continuation. This version reflects a more mature visual identity. Within the Smash Bros. roster, Cloud represents a significant third-party collaboration, marking the presence of Square Enix in Nintendo’s crossover fighting series.
The amiibo is compatible with Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS (Nintendo 3DS), Super Smash Bros. for Wii U (Wii U), and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (Nintendo Switch). In these titles, scanning the figure creates a trainable AI fighter. The Figure Player gains experience, adapts to play styles, and can learn attack patterns. Equipment customization is available in the Wii U and 3DS versions. In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the FP can reach level 50, develop tendencies, and be used in local battles or tournaments.
In other Nintendo Switch titles that support generic amiibo functionality, scanning Cloud – Player 2 provides standard rewards such as in-game items or bonuses, depending on the software. These effects are not character-specific outside the Smash Bros. series.
As an object, the Cloud – Player 2 amiibo extends beyond display. It acts as a portable data carrier and a physical reference to a specific era of the character. The alternate costume underlines the crossover nature of the Smash Bros. project. Its value lies in stored progression, competitive experimentation, and preservation of a trained fighter profile in tangible form.
