Cloud can be either an easy or overwhelming foe depending on how Sora fought the six previous matches. Cloud's movement is slow, but his attacks are quick and cover much ground. First, try to keep some distance away from him and pay attention to his movements, as Cloud will try to close the distance by continuously executing [[Sonic Blade]], which is a fast attack that pierces anything in its way, dealing good damage. Be wary of Sonic Blade, once his combo connects, there's a good chance that Sora will be defeated. Should Sora be in his targeting range, Cloud will either execute Sonic Blade or Climhazzard, in which he makes a high leap and then stabs his sword into the ground, creating a short-ranged impact. Climhazzard can be easily dodged by Dodge Rolling when Cloud yells. Luckily, Cloud mostly focuses on defeating Donald and Goofy before striking Sora, leaving more time for recovery (provided Sora has potions/MP left). While Cloud's standard sword combo appears overwhelming, it can be easily blocked with a well-timed attack or [[Guard]], which leaves Cloud stunned for a moment, giving Sora an opportunity to combo him. It should also be noted that all of Cloud's attacks have recoil, which is exploitable, as it can push Sora out of his range. It should be an easy fight as long as Sora has enough curative items or MP.

Equip Dodge Roll as it is essential to this battle. There are two very basic ways to handle this fight. The first is counterattacking. When he uses basic swings to attack, time Sora's attack to match his, which will cause both characters to flinch. Sora should be somewhat faster than him, meaning that if he attacks immediately after countering, he will be able to land a combo. When Cloud starts using Sonic Blade, simply lock on to him, run in one direction, and dodge roll when he hits Sora. If this attack is blocked, twice Cloud will be knocked back and open to attacks. He will always do a set number of thrusts before either stopping completely and start pacing; start thrusting again; but more often executing Climhazzard and homing into Sora's current position, where he impales his sword and does minor area damage. When he leaps, stand still for a brief second. He will then home in on that position. Now simply run 1-2 steps and dodge roll to evade the attack. While his sword is impaled, strike with combos quickly. Simply repeat this process.

Victory against Cloud is completely optional. The story will progress regardless of the outcome.
