Most of Cloud's Specials and Hypers are based on Cloud's Limit Breaks in Final Fantasy VII, though some behave slightly differently for example, Meteor Rain (named Meteorain in Final Fantasy VII) has Cloud summon the meteors from the sky instead of jumping in the air and firing them at the ground.

Cloud has many traits and features from both series, such as a Super Jump, Parrying, an Alpha Counter, a Power Charge and the Custom Combo which, at the cost of 1000 Power, grants Cloud the ability to freely cancel and juggle any Normal or Special for a total of 3 seconds, but it disables certain actions such as blocking as well as Power gain while active, only allows EX Specials and Hypers to be used 2 seconds after activation and ends prematurely when Cloud is hit, parries an attack or uses an EX Special or Hyper, though unlike PotS' characters, Cloud is able to parry while the Custom Combo is active. SNK 2, but also has traits from the Marvel vs. Not unlike Infinite's other characters, Cloud has a custom gameplay style which is simliar to PotS' gameplay style based on Capcom vs. Cloud has two versions of four of his Hypers, a level 1 and level 2 version, with the level 2 versions, referred to as 'MAX Supers', being activated by pressing two punch or kick buttons at once and being more powerful, sometimes behaving differently from the level 1 versions, and the remaining two Hypers are both level 3 Hypers.

Cloud is a six-button character, using the Ⓧ, Ⓨ and Ⓩ buttons for punches (though technically the medium and heavy punches are sword slashes instead of literal punches) and the Ⓐ, Ⓑ and Ⓒ button for kicks, and he has light, medium and heavy attacks along with light, medium, heavy and EX versions of his Specials he also has two grabs, activated by pressing either or in conjunction with or while near the opponent.
