Randall the Cloud
Randall the Cloud is a nickname for the cloud that appears on the Yoshi's Story stage. 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.
Relationship to Randall00
Curiously, although the cloud's name emerged out of the smash community in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, it actually bears no relationship whatsoever to smasher Randall00 (RJM), who hosts tournaments in the neighbouring city of Calgary. In reality, the cloud was dubbed "Randall" long before a smash community even existed in Calgary and the whole matter is nothing more than a peculiar coincidence.
RJM has been known to periodically apologize on behalf of the cloud.
