*'''Buster Sword:''' An enormous broadsword with two Materia slots, that serves as a symbol of dreams and honor. It has inherited the hopes of those who fight, which is then bequeathed from one warrior to another. The Buster Sword once belonged to legendary SOLDIER 1st Class, Angeal Hewley, who then passed it down to Zack Fair, before it eventually ended up in the hands of Cloud Strife. It now currently rests in the Sector 5 Church, serving eternally as a reminder of those who sacrificed themselves to save the planet.

*'''Mythril Saber:''' A large saber that has slightly better stats than the Buster Sword, and contains three Materia slots instead of two. Cloud can purchase the Mythril Saber for 1,000 Gil, from either a shop in Kalm or one in Junon Harbor. He picked up this blade not long after he left Midgar.
*'''Hardedge:''' A large, extremely-wide sword with a hard edge, dealing powerful blunt damage with each slash. It is more powerful than the Mythril Saber, and contains four Materia slots total. Cloud purchased this blade in either Junon Harbor or Gongaga, for 1,500 Gil.
*'''Butterfly Edge:''' A large, jagged blade that looks more like a gargantuan pocket knife than a sword. The Butterfly Edge has decent stats, being the strongest weapon Cloud had available at the time until he received the Enhance Sword. It comes with four Materia slots, and was purchased by Cloud in Cosmo Canyon for only 2,800 Gil.
*'''Enhance Sword:''' A golden, two-handed broadsword. Although its strength is inferior to other weapons Cloud possesses, it makes up for this by containing a staggering eight Materia slots, which is far more than any other weapon he has. Cloud obtained this weapon while he was climbing the Northern Crater, where he found it on Gaea's Cliff.
*'''Organics:''' Although oddly-shaped, the Organics is an incredibly useful weapon. It grants a great attack bonus compared to Cloud's previous weapons, and has six Materia slots. Cloud purchased this weapon for 12,000 Gil in the Icicle Inn.
*'''Crystal Sword:''' Made of blue crystal, this sword is not only one-of-a-kind in appearance, but also in stats. It completely outclasses Cloud's previous weapons in terms of power, as well as containing six Materia slots. Cloud purchased this weapon for 18,000 Gil in Mideel.
'''Age:''' 17 years old during Prologue ([https://youtu.be/BlGMnw7ZSxc?t=969 the Prologue takes place a year before the main game]<ref>Until Dawn - One Year Ago</ref>), 18 years old during Chapters 1 - 10 ([https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/until-dawn/images/7/75/Profile2.png/revision/latest?cb=20160824134749 age listed on the "Until Dawn™: Your Companion" App]<ref>Until Dawn™: Your Companion</ref>)
*'''Force Stealer:''' A menacing, purple blade with a large red gemstone in its hilt. The Force Stealer is not only more powerful than Cloud's previous swords, but also grants Cloud double Ability Point growth, meaning that he learns new techniques much quicker. Unfortunately, the Force Stealer comes at a price of only holding three Materia slots. Cloud won this as an award for participating in Rufus Shinra's parade in Junon.
'''Classification:''' Human, Star Linebacker ([https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/until-dawn/images/7/75/Profile2.png/revision/latest?cb=20160824134749 during high school]<ref>Until Dawn™: Your Companion</ref>)
*'''Rune Blade:''' A thin-handled blade that gets extremely wide at its tip. Much like the Force Stealer, the Rune Blade grants double Ability Point growth, but for all four of its Materia slots. Cloud obtained this blade on his trip to Mt. Nibel, and finds good use in it for quickly strengthening his Materia.
'''[[Status]]:''' '''Alive''' in True Ending ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFl-HEe-yQ8& in the True Ending, Matt survives until dawn and is taken to interrogation]<ref>Until Dawn - Credits</ref>), possibly '''Deceased''' with Player Choice ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbiD901kH_s with certain choices that change the course of the story], Matt can be killed [https://youtu.be/d5Aikw-3iKE?t=1012 by being pushed off of a cliff by deer]<ref>Until Dawn - Chapter 6</ref>, [https://youtu.be/d5Aikw-3iKE?t=1122 being hung through the jaw with a hook by] [[Hannah Washington|a Wendigo]]<ref>Until Dawn - Chapter 6</ref>, or [https://youtu.be/d5Aikw-3iKE?t=1168 having his face smashed in by] [[Hannah Washington|a Wendigo]]<ref>Until Dawn - Chapter 10</ref>)
*'''Murasame:''' Very similar to Sephiroth's Masamune, the Murasame is an extremely large katana blade, so large in fact that Cloud wields it with two hands. This blade is quite well-rounded, being more powerful than the Butterfly Edge but weaker than the Organics. However, is comes with five Materia slots, and is quite easy to swing around. Cloud purchased this weapon for 6,500 Gil in Wutai.
'''[[Alignment]]:''' '''Chaotic Good''' ([https://youtu.be/xA_BGlq1Uic?t=106 Matt is described as a very nice guy with not much to dislike]<ref>Until Dawn - Meet the Cast | Behind the Scenes</ref>. He's someone [https://youtu.be/Q3XC-EUl4rE?t=166 with a very evidently big heart]<ref>Until Dawn - Meet the Cast | Behind the Scenes</ref>, who [https://youtu.be/Q3XC-EUl4rE?t=234 wants everybody around him to be happy and taken care of]<ref>Until Dawn - Meet the Cast | Behind the Scenes</ref>.

*'''Nail Bat:''' This is the only joke weapon that Cloud can acquire; literally just being a large bat with jagged nails sticking out of it. This bat has incredibly high attack power, but no Materia slots, making it an extreme double sided coin. Cloud found this unconventional "sword" in the Temple of the Ancients.
*'''Yoshiyuki:''' Another giant katana blade, the Yoshiyuki is superior to the Murasame in many ways. Though its attack power starts out seemingly low, it doubles if one of Cloud's allies falls in battle. It can then triple if to allies fall, so on and so forth. It also comes equipped with two Materia slots. Cloud received the Yoshiyuki from a man in Rocket Town.
*'''Apocalypse:''' A large, demonic red blade with an intricate and deadly design. Though only holding three Materia slots, this gargantuan blade is not only extremely powerful, but grants a triple Ability Point bonus. Cloud acquired the Apocalypse in the Ancient Forest.
*'''Heaven's Cloud:''' Fairly standard looking for a broadsword, but with two distinct rings hanging off of its hilt. The Heaven's Cloud is noted to be extremely well-rounded, and his third strongest sword overall during the events of the original game. It comes with six Materia slots. Cloud found this sword in treasure chest in the sunken Gelnika.
*'''Ragnarok:''' This large golden broadsword is the second most powerful weapon that Cloud obtained in his first adventure. It is very well-rounded with its stats, and has six Materia slots overall. In terms of strength, it even outranks the Ultima Weapon's base power. Cloud obtained this sword after defeating Heidegger and Scarlet in their Proud Clod machine.
*'''Ultima Weapon:''' The most powerful weapon that Cloud had access to in his first adventure, proudly titled his ultimate weapon. This large, colorful blade has extremely high stats and eight Materia slots, making it incredibly useful in all forms of combat. It also is able to deal more damage depending on how high Cloud's health is. Cloud was rewarded the Ultima Weapon after defeating the WEAPON, Ultimate Weapon.
*'''Fusion Sword:''' Cloud's primary sword following the events of the original game, which is constructed to resemble the Buster Sword. Instead of simply being one blade, however, the Fusion Sword can split into seven separate pieces, which allows for Cloud to use his Omnislash Version 5. Each piece of the sword is placed inside of his motorcycle, which he can pull out and quickly assemble at any time.

'''[[Intelligence]]:''' '''Average''' (Although he is noted to [https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/until-dawn/images/7/75/Profile2.png/revision/latest?cb=20160824134749 not be the sharpest tool in the box, with a fairly low GPA]<ref>Until Dawn™: Your Companion</ref>, Matt is not quite the meat brain everyone sees him as, and can be quite quick-witted at times.)

What the fuck is your problem!? Why are you being such a bitch to me? From now on, you either treat me like a person or I'm out. Get it?
