| |
| '''Randall the Cloud''' is a nickname for the [[supermariowiki:Lakitu's Cloud|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 [[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]].
| |
| | |
| Randall is also 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]]. | |
