'''Randall the Cloud''' is a nickname for the {{s|mariowiki|Lakitu's Cloud}} that appears on [[Yoshi's Story]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. It is often used to assist the [[recovery]] process. The term derived originally from Canadian smasher {{Sm|FastFox}}, and it has since taken off as a norm on [[Smash World Forums]]. It is also mentioned commonly in competitive ''Melee'' matches, usually when a player chooses to land on it instead of aiming for the [[edge]] while recovering. | |||
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]]d match, a prudent smasher can use this knowledge to effectively stall a recover and land on Randall instead falling. | |||
Randall can be very useful in [[Event 35: Time for a Checkup]], as {{SSBM|Peach}} and {{SSBM|Dr. Mario}} will follow the player everywhere. They will often [[Self-Destruct]] in an attempt to follow the player. | |||
Randall the Cloud can also be used for [[taunt canceling]]. | |||
