Miles Edgeworth, but with finger lazers that cast a curse that blows you up. Also, this is kinda unrelated, but Phoenix's design since DD makes him look a bit like Zack. Imagine if we do get Nick, we can complete the FF7 SOLDIER Trifecta.
Nico: Okay I'm gonna start this small tournament with my mods *12 years later, everyone having moved on with their lives* "Whatever happened to that Nico guy?" "Oh him? He unlocked sephiroth and watched the entire stage animation of the final battle and never stopped, even to this day"
"Reverse controls is gonn fuck you." Can confirm, after using Supernova on my bro i proceeded to Aerith'd him off the stage while he was getting bamboolzed by the controls. I fucking love that moment. Unrelated but when Sakurai said they "cancelled that idea," he was referring to players being locked into the difficulty they chose. Very Hard is almost as difficult as the AIs in launch day Ultimate which had to be toned down in one of the patches, so he felt it wasn't fair for the people to be locked into one difficulty for the fight to unlock him. Though i kind of wished they included that bit in there, he is a final boss...
I actually thought he was saying they cancelled the idea of having only one try at it. It’s really cool of Nintendo to make events like this, whether they’re easy or hard to organize. Events like this boss fight induce the sort of child-like wonder that nintendo wants to be known for, and I hope it becomes a regular occurrence.
@@mrmanwithchocolate nah, this particular mode might be a one time thing since Sephiroth's quite the famous final boss. If they're going to include an unlock a character early event again, it probably won't have as much flair to it.
We got 9 music tracks and 4 new remixes/arrangements, so I’m happy with that part! Sephiroth’s gameplay looks fun to play and seems like a nightmare with edge guarding. I’m so happy Sakurai pulled through and delivered another amazing character as always! 🥰❤️
Let’s gooo! Although I really wished we got a Zack and other FF protagonists like Squall, Terra etc as Mii Costumes but I’m hype! Also rip Nico. He’s getting KH1 flashbacks after the Sephiroth Challenge. Although this might not happen, but if by some miracle Sora and or Dante ends up as DLC, Nico has to go in the streets and dance to Simple and Clean or Subhuman while wearing a Donald Duck Outfit😂.
I love everything about this! I love that they made him a bit broken. The only thing I wish we got was his English voice. I expected that it wasn't gonna happen. But a man can dream.
@@antonhagbox02 Cloud's former ENG VA (Steve Burton) is a union actor whereas Smash is a non-union work. His contract also made it so that only he can voice Cloud in English and he HAS to do it under his real name (so no pseudonyms to work around it). Unsure about his remake VA though. I don't know if Sephiroth's VAs are under the same issues but even if they weren't, I imagine it would be jarring to have him speak English while Cloud didn't so they too just left him in Japanese.
As one who dislikes "more anime sword fighters", the entire point is that they are generic, and all feel the same to play. Can you _honestly_ tell me that applies to Sephy here?! Or Sora if he makes it in?
What I like about Sephiroth in Smash He's literally a playable Boss His attacks are insane He has Phases (the wing pops out as a desperation effect) And the only opponents worthy of fighting him in Classic are Bosses And in the final fight you're in Sephiroths stage and his original Theme The final boss isn't the hands The final boss is Sephiroth lol
I Never was the biggest ff fan, as I’ve always been more into kingdom Hearts in comparison. But Sephiroth is SO FREAKIN COOL. Speaking of KH, the dream of sora being in smash still ain’t dead!!! Thank god he wasn’t revealed as a Mii costume 😂.
Well, you're in LUCK, Mr Justice Man! Sephiroth Challenge on the Very Hard difficulty is the ball-flick of a Sephiroth fight we've been deprived of since 2006!
@@LordTyph Yes, Chrom and K.Rool became playable in the next installment. There hasn't been a case where a Mii costume became playable in the same installment. You gotta take this into account, come on now.
as a boy i never played FF7/FF7 remake watchin Nico play FF7 remake makes happy and bein able playin Sephiroth now till December 22nd is awesome keep it up Nico enjoy your Christmas i know i will with family
I don’t know anything about Geno, but being included as a Mii fighter means that they couldn’t make a good moveset for him, right? I’m glad they found a way to work him anyways, in just like they did Sans.
I can't wait for Sephiroth to be released. Plus Advent Children is one of my favorite movies, it did an amazing job on concluding the FFVII storyline. Plus the voice actors did a really amazing job. Steve Burton always did an awesome job as Cloud Strife, Christy Carlson Romano is always great as Yuffie Kisaragi, as well as all of the others.
26:20 - I feel like Nico streaming a Kirby game needs to happen at some point. That would be cool and hilarious. Guys, what would be a good Kirby game for Nico to stream? Star Allies, or something else? I know Kirby Super Star is on the SNES Online service, right? Maybe he can start there. Of course, this is up to Nico, not me. I'm just tossing out some ideas. :P
@@YukiMizuno Super Star Ultra is basically an updated port/remake with only a few extras that the original SNES game didn't have. (Mainly a story mode where you play as Meta Knight.)
I’m surprised people don’t get bored of Smash. It’s like: “Oh, my favorite character is in smash, this is so hype! I’m going to play as them for 20 minutes and then never touch the game again. But this is still hype, trust me.”
I mean #FreeMelee is a thing if you missed that. Aside from the people who play casually, there are people who are completionists in their games and people who play in tournaments. Plus people who haven't picked it up until recently or still haven't picked it up but might in the future. A game doesn't die just because the hype dies.
@@HexManiacQuinn It feels like there’s always hype though. There’s always another Smash character coming, it never ends. In 2025 it’s going to be like “And now Nagito is in smash, and his final smash is throwing bagels at the enemy.” But whatever, don’t let me spoil your fun.
You should see the intro to his start of his FFVIIR let's play if you haven't already. Tells you everything you'd need to know. Unless you're being sarcastic, in which case that flew a million miles over my head lol!
Serious question does any other fighting game do this where they reveal who the new character coming to the game is and then a week later has a video by the creator telling you who the character is and showing you just how this character plays because I don't remember Mortal Kombat or Fighterz doing that
its like sakurai was just as frustrated that they split the remake up. He told himself: "%^&% it I'm making the FF7 remake ending myself" like there was no need to put all that story detail into the stage.
@@BobbyTheGamerOfJUSTICE Marvel is just their intellectual property though, while Sora is directly involved with their Disney characters. For me though I think being involved with Disney actually gives him better chances, because there's no way they'd use another spot on another SquareEnix character otherwise. It can be rationalized that since SquareEnix is a merged company, the FF characters represent Square, the DQ Heroes represent Enix, and Sora could represent Disney, in a way
@@ettel8358 True but it does show Disney is okay with other people using their properties. Not to mention they did make a few crossover games recently. And I feel like Disney wouldn’t be nearly as overprotective of Sora. Especially when you compare him to the likes of Mickey Mouse or frozen. We’ll just have to wait and see tho.
My brother legit thought when the trailer started it was gonna be Sora well when the trailer dropped I should say. Which if it was possible would be amazing but we have a better chance of DOOM guy then Sora
I'm so freaking happy.
Also apologies for some funkiness with my mic audio. VAC was acting up.
you gonna scream louder if monokuma gets into smash
@@donnapower697 If that happens I’ll have no words. Probably not though since he’s a PlayStation character
@@donnapower697 I'd just be confused tbh
Where is the new episode Council of voices
Nico at least sora wasn't mii fighter i was right lol thank god
I love the detail at 2:11
Cloud throws down a barrel to stop a red haired man from capturing Aerith.
Yo, I never noticed that! That's awesome!
Praise the guys that had to negotiate with all those copyright holders.
Those are the real MVP
Kirbyroth reminds me more of Miles Edgeworth than Sephiroth.
True
If Phoenix Wright gets in this game, we can have both Phoenix Kirby & Edgeworth Kirby!
Miles Edgeworth, but with finger lazers that cast a curse that blows you up.
Also, this is kinda unrelated, but Phoenix's design since DD makes him look a bit like Zack. Imagine if we do get Nick, we can complete the FF7 SOLDIER Trifecta.

Edgeworth finally mastered the deadly snap of Manfred Von Karma.
@@garr_inc For his neutral special, Miles Edgeworth enacts a penalty that lasts for the whole trial.
Nico: “Hey Donald, Sephiroth has Giga Flare too!” Donald: “That’s cute, wake me up when he figures out Zettaflare!”

@@TheUltimateRare Donald doesn't want to heal people who slow him down.
@@zackrose6261 true. he doesn't need sora. he has zettaflare.
@@TheUltimateRare he doesn't heal people who never manage party settings.
I like to imagine that Sephiroth didn’t even get an invitation he just showed up and Sakurai just rolled with it because he can’t stop him
Nico: Okay I'm gonna start this small tournament with my mods
*12 years later, everyone having moved on with their lives*
"Whatever happened to that Nico guy?"
"Oh him? He unlocked sephiroth and watched the entire stage animation of the final battle and never stopped, even to this day"
We get 9 new FF7 songs for smash, and all we had to do was sacrifice Geno to the Mii costumes.
I would have sacrificed Geno even for just one FF7 song.
Worth it for me FF7 music is sacred
We had to sacrifice geno for sora and 8 ff songs
A small price to pay for salvation
You know, given the quality of the Aerith remix, it was more than worth it.
Sakurai is so powerful he can explain Sephiroth's character in three easily comprehended sentences. We are not worthy.
I can't believe Smash made an HD version of the FFVII ending before the remake did. Sakurai is a gaming god!
Imagine going back in time to 2006 and telling people that Cloud and Sephiroth are in Smash.
Why do people not expect Aerith as a costume? Mages always show up as sword fighters.
Sephiroth fighting Dracula... who would have saw that coming back in the day?
It was a good call from Sakurai to put the Mii Fighters first in the video... like a Band-aid: quick and in one swoop
Nico disrespecting Donald. Gigaflare is pathetic compared to _zettaflare._
I just love this so much. Nico Fangirling over Sephiroth is pure amazingness
"Reverse controls is gonn fuck you."

Well, I have news for you
I love everything about this! I love that they made him a bit broken. The only thing I wish we got was his English voice. I expected that it wasn't gonna happen. But a man can dream.
Nah he seems balanced, his fast attacks are a good get off me tool, and his strong moves have major end lag.
Square was brave enough to give us 9 new songs, 5 mii costumes, and Sephiroth, but they couldn't give him and Cloud English VAs.

You interrupted my viewing of your video for another one of your videos?! Worth it!
I got a way around that. 2 monitors.
Legit just got him, was so shocked!
The fact that of all people Donald freaking Duck is canonically a stronger magician than freaking Sephiroth is both amazing and disturbing.
Sakurai is so fucking wholesome dude
More music is good news, so glad they didn't get shafted again
Where are all the "Anime sword boy" hater? These hypocrits are a joke.
But don't you see? He's not just an anime sword boi...
He's THE anime sword boi.
I just love how every anime swordman haters went dead silence when Sephiroth showed up. Guess that even they respect Sephiroth alot.
As one who dislikes "more anime sword fighters", the entire point is that they are generic, and all feel the same to play.
Can you _honestly_ tell me that applies to Sephy here?! Or Sora if he makes it in?
@@ShadwSonic sephiroth plays much more like an "Anime sword fighter" then Robin, Hero and Byleth.
Same with the triple jump and super armor with the wing. Where are all the crybabies? :D Fanboyism is one hell of a drug
What I like about Sephiroth in Smash
He's literally a playable Boss
His attacks are insane
He has Phases (the wing pops out as a desperation effect)
And the only opponents worthy of fighting him in Classic are Bosses
And in the final fight you're in Sephiroths stage and his original Theme
The final boss isn't the hands
The final boss is Sephiroth lol
Pausing at 37:13 made me sad... it should be Eggman, not Ridley... we need to get the bros back together again...
Sora will definitely make his heart to Smash!
Hopefully!
