'''Randall the Cloud''' is a nickname for the cloud that appears on [[Yoshi's Island: Yoshi's Story|Yoshi's Story]] in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]. It is often used to assist the [[recovery]] process. The term derived originally from Canadian smasher [[FastFox]], and it has since taken off as a norm on [[Smash World Forums]]. | |||
Randall's complete round trip through the stage and out the other side takes exactly 20 seconds. As such, many players attempt to "summon" Randall (via a strained shout) when falling. It is not uncommon that a player will fall just short of the edge, only to see Randall's smile as he emerges half a second later. | |||
Randall does not appear for the opening ten seconds of a given battle and emerges on the right-hand side of Yoshi's Story immediately thereafter, meaning that the position of the cloud is consistent and predictable, not random. Through paying particular attention to the countdown in a [[time|timed]] match, a prudent smasher can use this knowledge to effectively stall a recover and land on Randall instead of taking a [[SD|fall]]. | |||
