theorists talk about hero and sephi killing mobs and galeem and both are square. they thought about the possibility that sora kills darkhon, however, i assume it'll happen in fighter pass 3 couse 2 square/nomura reps in one doesnt make much sense as it is now, also there is no new nintendo console announced for the next 2 years so fighter pass 3 + sora is not only very possible but also very hype! edit: meant to say possible instead of hype but you get the point x)
Asides from the heartbreaks of Geno being a costume again, let's just glad Final Fantasy VII gets more respect this time now. But hey, Sora's not out of the running yet!
@Melon Man well Disney is dumb if they can't negotiate with Nintendo. Those Disney fools don't know a good thing what fans want. Kingdom hearts was owned by Square in the first place, I say its more up to them and Noruma... if, IF, Sora is coming or not. Like HMK, I ain't giving up hope! Praying for Sora! 🙏 🙏 🙏
@@Josh-Man Disney made a deal with Nintendo telling them if sora is to be in smash they want 25% percent of the product money, Nintendo said no and that why sora not in smash
This showcase is literally the best, Sephiroth is freaking EPIC. Everything about him in this is cool, especially the moments when Sakurai just walks away during the boss fights haha. The music is amazing, and I need. To. Buy. All. The. DLCs. Now.
Given that Smash doesn’t operate based on HP, an attack like Heartless Angel doesn’t make a lot of sense, so it’s perfectly understandable that it was left out.
If you notice the true theme of the Classic mode youll be ever happier First fight you see of Sephiroth is a Dragon His connections to Shinra A space monster A great figure fallen from grace A monster in human form An evil that returns stronger after his defeat The manipulator behind everything to come
@@backup368 That's because of how complicated the licensing for FF's music is. It has nothing to do with the characters. Sakurai practically said so in the Sephiroth demonstration.
I feel bad for the Genos fans i thought they would at least get a deluxe mii but hey at least for Sora the dream hasn't dropped yet so let's keep wishing with all our hearts and maybe we'll find the light in the darkness, remember may your hearts be your guiding keys
Its dead. He literally made a whole speecha bout how its hard to get copyright for characters and tracks and even specific tracks. Sora would be he biggest hurdle this games ever seen
I love him so far, and I actually do believe we might get Sora, he's becoming my biggest guess for the last slot. The boss challenge idea to unlock him is dope, adds some extra spice to the DLC.
Sakurai mentions the release date: HMK is "NOOOOO.... I wanted him now!" Sakurai mentions all the details of Sephiroth Challenge: HMK is "WHAAAAT?????!!!!!" That was my same reaction and after I got out of work yesterday, I did it and got a lot of fun.
Sora seriously isn’t getting in. There’s 3 spots left. The odds of getting ANOTHER Square Enix character in those last 3 is basically 0. It would be cool, but it’s just not gonna happen.
Sephiroth seems to have many moves that can trap his enemies into trying to defend themselves so he can grab them or shield break to set up for a gigaflare side smash
considering they aren't deluxe costumes like Cuphead or Vault Boy, they did a good job..they do tend to do decent jobs like what they did for Goemon...I miss Goemon...but with how Konami has been maybe it's for the best..I'd be terrified of what a Pachinko game would do to Yae.
Max was having a blast when he showed his reaction to this, if you are a FF7 fan this whole character and presentation was a love letter...and everyone INSTANTLY after it was over went to beat Sephi to get him unlocked 5 days early lol. His reach is like a full charged beam sword..all the time..when you use his sword attacks, it takes a bit of getting used to..and his recovery takes some getting used to as well since you can select the direction at any point during activation and charging to Octoslash..thank all the Kami I got a pro controller on Black Friday since my joy cons had drift..that would have been a problem.
After Max, your reaction is the 2nd I dig, again because of how your excitement and passion for FF7 shown through our reactions is really infectious and can get others hyped. Still holding out for Sora as well but by this point I’m Ok with anybody.
I rather have Sora be a Mii costume then not have him at all. The chances of Sora being playable is next to nonexistent, with Square already having a rep this pass, Disney not being easy to work with, and the fact there’s only 2 more reps left.
Honestly the talk about the music really makes you think if they get sora that means they would have to go back and forth with copyright in music and spirits plus mii costumes so this still gives sora some sort of chance but must be expensive as hell then that’s probably the reason geno didn’t come with a soundtrack either maybe the music is owned by multiple companies
I...assume they wouldn't have to do that much backtracking. I mean...Yoko Shimomura HAS composed and arranged for Smash before (Hell, she did one of the Minecraft songs) and most of the KH songs are from her.
@@jimmike8029 My point is that everyone can finally understand how copyrights of different companies works now. But if you dont think so thats your choice.
I hope if sora does get into smash now it just starts off after cloud and sephiroth with sora jump in the middle saying he found them finally after kh2
ok this is probably stupid, but i didnt know that ship was called highwind and it reminded me how riku wanted to call the raft highwind back in kh1, realizing they had a final fantasy reference along with the 3 kids on destiny island lol
I love how sephiroth detonates an entire solar system and it only does like 40% damage Like I understand that it’s for gameplay but that feels like it should just win
Another note; I think getting Mii Costumes out of the way at the beginning of a Sakurai presentation should be the new norm for Sakurai’s presentations.
Heartless Angel is not an exclusive move to Sephitoth, many strong monsters and final bosses had had that ability before Sephiroth, like Kefka before him
SORA CONFIRMED???? SAKURAI HAD TO GET THE COPYRIGHTS FROM EVERY GAME/SERIES HIS MUSIC APPEARED IN EVEN IN COLLABS SUCH AS ONE WINGED ANGEL IN KINGDOM HEARTS
And here I thought you were going to scream about the Geno being only a Mii Costume, bravo for keeping calm HMK! 👏 👏 👏 Best reaction video ever; but doesn't compare to the Breath of the Wild reaction! 😁😁 Don't give up hope 🙏 for Sora man! 😁
The next characters will be, a character from Mario, Crash or Spyro, and Sora last with Cloud and Sephiroths KH alt outfits! Calling it right now! I know i said Cuphead but hes a mii costume....maybe in the next Smash game.
The only hope we had for Sora getting in was if Geno was NOT a Mii costume--i.e. he was held out to be a Mii costume for Sora. Now, the Square Enix representation in Smash is complete--there isn't any content missing anymore. So, Sora's chances have only fallen here. (There was never any chance there'd be a Sora Mii costume anyway--given that he's really difficult to negotiate, there's no way they'd go through all of that just for a Mii.)
I can't believe how good he looks and I'm glad we got confirmation for the Mii fighters. I knew they would add Cloud's party and I'm glad that they brought back the Chocobo hat and Gino so people would shut up about him. I was super worried that Sora would appear, but I'm glad that he didn't, so we still have some sort of Hope. Definitely excited to try Sephiroth out and now that we have a free trial in a way, I'll definitely sit down and try to play him. Also, if you want to see my reaction to the presentation, check out the link below! th-cam.com/video/CZltKBecbr0/w-d-xo.html
So hear me out, sakurai couldn't use more songs because of Disney the first time, now Sakurai went to Disney to get rights to use FF music that KH didn't allow for first, so ur telling me sakurai went to Disney, and only got rights for FF songs? Maybe he got rights for something else that required both Square and Disney to allow to use...? Why go through that effort to ask Disney for just songs? And he certainly didn't ask for a Sora mii costume, and fighter number 6 is a long while away yet so..... It only makes sense sakurai asked Disney for rights to use Sora, and both hero and cloud and seph show that Square ain't stopping Sora so it depends, did Disney give more rights to Sakurai than just some songs?
If Sora was to get in King Mickey would be the Deluxe Mii Costume that would come along with Sora but but Mickey didn't originate in... correction Mickey Mouse didn't originate in a video game King Mickey however did originate in a video game hashtag loopholes!
Yeah, hooray for loopholes! Like the fact that Mickey has video games too! Ever hear about the SNES or Epic Mickey games? Loopholes right there, Disney can do it if they play nice with Nintendo! 🙏 🙏 🙏
Sora is not safe, this is it, this is strike 3, he is out, unless there is a third pass and even then i doubt it, sakurai is not gonna go through this licensing nightmare again and with disney of all people.
Around 3 or 4. Gotta remember that the numbered games aren't the only ones that exist. Gameplay is sometimes good, sometimes terrible. Story is absolute trash.
THIS EASILY WAS THE BEST SAKURAI PRESENTATION YET!!!!
Agreed
It is! Asides from Geno.
lloyd isnt deconfirmed!!!!!!
Sora is still possible!

And I did, thank you Grandma for the $40 haha
The only disappointing thing to me is that Sakurai never talked about Sephiroth's hair care.
You thought that a guy who have fire resistance hair need a hair care?
It's fire resistant BECAUSE of his hair care.
RIP to the many bottles of shampoo and conditioner sacrificed in order to maintain that gorgeous hair.
Given that Smash doesn’t operate based on HP, an attack like Heartless Angel doesn’t make a lot of sense, so it’s perfectly understandable that it was left out.

His connections to Shinra
A space monster

Don’t get your hopes up.
I love how Sakurai soft confirmed how damn difficult it would actually be to get Sora at the end talking about how hard it was to get all those songs.
Actually Sakurai just purposefully requested a paltry amount of songs just to have an excuse to get 2 FF characters.

That doesn't mean he's in or anything. Keep your expectations low.
I have a big feeling Ik who’s next.
I hope sora never comes to smash.
I'm not for him....but I won't lie, me too. That's a date I didn't want for geno, but one lost is plenty
15:37 Being a "mind games character" is actually really fitting for someone like Sephiroth. I never thought of it like that.
“HE HAS A BIG TIP” -HMK🤣
Sakurai mentions the release date: HMK is "NOOOOO.... I wanted him now!"

Hey wow a Smash reaction that's not "OMG HE'S OP" every 2 seconds
when he was talking about marx i completely forgot that he was the one that made the kirby games.
No sora mii costume. We're good bois
F in the chat for Geno
F
Best presentation ever
My favorite part about your reaction is how excited you are about the song tracks. Kinda like a kid at a candy store.
The Mii characters that looked like Barret, Tifa, and Aerith are neatly designed.
considering they aren't deluxe costumes like Cuphead or Vault Boy, they did a good job..they do tend to do decent jobs like what they did for Goemon...I miss Goemon...but with how Konami has been maybe it's for the best..I'd be terrified of what a Pachinko game would do to Yae.

R.I.P. GENO :( but we still got sora in
Yep
Darn..... I thought hed show Cloud and Sephiroths KH alts at the end to hint to Sora coming next.
If Sora gets announced, then watch him also end up being a Mii costume as well.
After Max, your reaction is the 2nd I dig, again because of how your excitement and passion for FF7 shown through our reactions is really infectious and can get others hyped.
Still holding out for Sora as well but by this point I’m Ok with anybody.
Finally! Sora is safe... And give him more chances to be in smash bros ultimate!
I want him , but man I fear the worst , and my gut feeling is kinda disturbing.
Sora safe? As long as Disney refuses to bend the knee Sora won't come to SMASH.
I rather have Sora be a Mii costume then not have him at all. The chances of Sora being playable is next to nonexistent, with Square already having a rep this pass, Disney not being easy to work with, and the fact there’s only 2 more reps left.
Probably not, because the copyrigth of the Kingdom Hearts Franchise is from Disney
Geno had a good run. Sora fans never lose hope! I'm a big KH fan but I wasn't too keen on the idea of him in smash,best of luck :)
Now _that's_ a katana.
As Sakurai introduced Sephiroth my Sephiroth theme came on.
I really need to start playing Kingdom Hearts
If it's possible to have music from a movie based on a video game, then I want music from the Pokemon anime!
Honestly the talk about the music really makes you think if they get sora that means they would have to go back and forth with copyright in music and spirits plus mii costumes so this still gives sora some sort of chance but must be expensive as hell then that’s probably the reason geno didn’t come with a soundtrack either maybe the music is owned by multiple companies

Yeah, I guess there is hope for Sora and Kingdom Hearts music.
Sephiroth’s (Up+B) Blade Dash and (Charged) Octaslash.

Blade Dash is zantetsuken for me. I love that move so much.
I wonder what the other Mii costumes for FFVII will be, since he said there are plenty more coming
His Shadow Flare is like KH2.

Of COURSE Villager and Isabelle can pocket those spells. They were spreading despair before Sephiroth came in. 😅
