Story

The Cloud of Darkness is an enigma, and not just because of her name. Much like Exdeath, all she wishes for is nothingness (the two of them should really just go back to the void). She helps out Kefka with Terra some, but her focus is on the Onion Knight. Past that, she doesn't show up much. Which is a good thing, because she's not easy to fight.

Thoughts

For most of the game, I didn't have much of an opinion on CoD other than she's a tricky opponent. When I unlocked her and had a chance to try her out, I found the one villain I'm actually decent at using. (That might have more to do with how powerful she is than my skills, though...) I've paid her a bit more attention since then, and you have to admit her EX Mode form is kind of cool. Or creepy. Probably more creepy.

Gameplay

With CoD, the name of the game is to stay the hell away. She has an enormous range and she's powerful to boot, so you unless you have the power to take her on directly it's unwise to go head to haed. Most of her attacks will send you flying and she can be hard to dodge, so watch out!
