SEPHIROTH

also sephiroth is lowkey kinda sexy

"I mean he's kinda cool but if he's in then that means Square Enix is covered and Sora 100% isn't happening!" me in 2020, foolish and unknowing
Gameplay wise he's cool I guess

dude I wasn't hyped as much as other people for this character, but he's so fun to play its insane, banjos still my favorite dlc character, but this is close

Best reveal trailer in Smash history. My favorite gaming villain is in my favorite fighting game. Plays smooth as butter and has some of the best music on his BEAUTIFUL stage.


i will never get over my beautiful son dying in front of my eyes, no matter how sick Sephiroth is

edit: nevermind :)

I was really hoping for a different Final Fantasy character from a game other than 7 but Sephiroth is a really iconic villain and super hype so still really happy nonetheless.

Shit myself cause I thought it was Sora at first

Reveal: 5/5
Character: 5/5
Stage: 4/5
Music: 5/5

Best reveal trailer and the best DLC character, PEAK.

i wantg ny fater sephi ri oth to impale me with his massive SWORD!!!!

hmhsodmhodsmodfsfdsohofsdhafd fsdyeah

D'ya think he's compensatin for somethin Donkeh?

THIS is how you do a Smash Brothers fighter. How do we introduce our new DLC character? Have him slice the final boss of the game (previously established to have effortlessly murdered every other fighter bar Kirby) in half and then go "FUCK YOU IM THE VILLAIN NOW!" Give him a powerful feeling moveset, a gorgeous stage, and expand the infamous FF7 music collection, and you have a serious contender for one of Ultimate's best new challengers. Sure the costumes are bad and he only brings FF7 music because licensing is a bitch, but not every character can be perfect. I'm a huge fan of antagonist characters, seeing villains get added to Smash is always a treat, and Sephiroth absolutely delivered a DLC pack I didn't know I needed.

He's probably my second favorite character pick from the DLC, which is why it's so disappointing that he's just not that fun to play.

Easily my second favorite DLC fighter from the second fighters pass. Not only did they add those FFVII spirits I wanted to see in the base game, but Sephiroth is a good character overall.

sure, when it's the anime swordsman YOU like, then it's cool if they're in smash

The grape skittles attacks can go fuck itself from to the moon and back.

idk I think Gilgamesh or Kefka would have slapped harder, but I guess they had to cater to the FFVII crowd, though Sephiroth's still pretty cool. I'm so glad Sephiroth has a sword like Masamune because its range is so unintentionally funny. his stage is pretty hardcore too it straight up takes place during FFVII's ending sequence which is pretty metal. you also can't go wrong with Final Fantasy music god bless Uematsu and every other FF composer who took over as well as all the people who remixed some of the new tracks. lastly having a limited time boss fight with Sephiroth was pretty rad, not only was it fun to defeat him traditionally, but you could also find ways to cheese the fight even on the hardest difficulty and that was pretty amusing, so yeah this was an epic pack.

they forgot to include Birth of a God though I am still mad

really fucking good, he's really fun to play against and as, and his stage, music, and spirits are all really good too, only thing lacking here is alts

Besides Joker, I'd say this pack is the pinnacle of Ultimate's DLC quality. Everything from Sephiroth's insanely good reveal to his moveset that makes him feel like a boss fight rolled into a character or even the challenge that was included for players to unlock him all signified that this was an all around excellent pick.

Music and stage are both top notch. Final Fantasy was severely lacking in music prior to this update and I even had a friend who said he'd pay money to buy more Final Fantasy music separately. Luckily this pack greatly bolsters the series' previously lacking represented soundtrack. The new stage is light on gimmicks and hazards, as most DLC stages tended to be, but I find this completely acceptable when the backdrop is pure eye candy.

Best DLC, argue with a fucking wall

Not and RPG guy but he looks cool and he's fun to play as.

Why are they double dipping for final fantasy 7 Thier so much other characters lmao

Little rat of a character justs pokes with a stick until you get close and swat him like a fly

Inclusion: Fantastic pick in every regard. On top of having the best trailer out of any Smash character, he really drives home the "villain" theme that Ultimate had going for a little bit in the buildup to its release. He also helped give Final Fantasy more representation that it desperately needed for a while. If only they could do the same for Sonic...

Fighter: Looking back it's funny how they restrained characters like Ridley when they just went insane with how long Sephiroth's attacks are. Beyond the length of his sword, he has a good amount of unique tricks like his options for movement and the way that his various projectiles work. He's definitely one of my favorites to watch.

Stage: Northern Cave was an incredibly exciting inclusion for being the first 100% legal DLC stage in the game, which is a trend that continued with the very last one. It helps that it has an interesting platform layout and a visually interesting background without being too distracting like the Bayo one.

Music: I'm so happy this killed the "FF has two songs" meme. The choices from FF7 are really strong all around, and it helps that this was the only Square pack to get a good amount of full-on remixes which sound amazing. Aerith's theme especially is one of my favorite remixes of the bunch.

This is probably the peak of Ultimate's DLC.

To put it lightly: this dlc was the reason why I became an FF7 fan that's obsessed with Sephiroth. Probably the best addition in the entire game together with Steve


4* - got me to finish ff7 which was very cool but god he is not fun to play
trailer was cool as hell tho

Even more main-able than Joker and Min-Min. Somehow.
