I remember Advent Children came out and I had no idea about FF but I knew about good music and asked my dad to rent the movie from BlockBuster years ago haha
I can't get over how this introduction for a character was the most bombastic we've had so far: Piranha plant just kinda walked in Joker invaded the awards and summoned Arsene Hero rode in on a horse, as the other heroes all showed up when he failed Banjo did a fake-out Terry grabbed the invite when no one was looking. Byleth was teleported there by what's-her-face Min-min was in the middle of a shift Steve dug a hole and left like 5 seconds later... Sephiroth doesn't even appear until you see Galeem, the Final boss, A literal Biblically Accurate Angel of lovecraftian strength and form, get cleaved in half like soft butter, as the one winged angel descends and proceeds to destroy everyone. He even uses Fearmongering on Mario to assert dominance. Majestic... Pure hype.
Honestly, to me, this song screams "You're weren’t supposed to fight this guy THIS early!" Originally, Cloud and his group would walk down the ramp and explore outside Midgar after defeating the giant machine. In the remake, the game throws you a massive multiphase bossfight before throwing Sephiroth at you almost immediately after, and then the group leaves Midgar.
I know that it doesn't concern about FFVII but I think that this song starts playing in my head whenever I see Avatar Belial (Granblue fantasy versus) in a fight.
He didn't feel much after he had his own Sephiroth moment on the Wii Spoilers Just like Sephiroth stabs Aerith, Dickson shot Shulk in the back, and explains he's been dead all this time and was only the way he was because Zanza was the one behind the strings, so we'll never know what he would have been like those past 20 years
There's an undercurrent of panic and desperation in this rendition of One Winged Angel that's perfect for the situation it plays in. For people new to the series, it's from being thrown into another fight(initially one on one, even) after the gauntlet the Whispers put you through. For veterans who played the original, it's a 'holy shit no no no we haven't even left Midgar we are NOT READY FOR SEPHIROTH' moment. And I can't wait for MORE versions of One Winged Angel in the next games.
To be fairly honest in the last hours of the game I started to think what was happening with the pace of the game and then in the last chapter they started talking about changing fate and I was holding to my seat not wanting this to happen, but well, seems like they wanted to give an ending to one of the parts even if it doesn't really make much sense.
This One Winged Angel and the Remake's J-E-N-O-V-A both seem to portray this. What really sells this for me though is the fact we get to fight the actual Sephiroth, you know? My biggest gripe in the original is how they show Sephiroth as this soldier-that's-not-actually-soldier with a long sword, but unless you count that final battle with Cloud, we never get to face Sephiroth's "human" form.
Sephiroth takes stalking to a whole new level, seriously, this dude travels to different worlds and dimensions *simply* because Cloud is there. And I have to admit, that is impressive, creepy, but impressive
Imagine you're watching a Nintendo Direct and then Sakurai says "Now time to introduce our newest character." The screen goes black then all of a sudden 0:00
It’s crazy how this video was originally to get around square enix, since they would strike down all the remake music videos. Little did we know this clever way of presenting it like it was a smash track came true.
Idea for a reveal trailer: Cloud is fighting Bowser and Ganondorf in a burning battlefield. Cloud begins to get overwhelmed, but quickly starts to get the upper hand. As he prepares a finishing blow, a figure rushes past them, faster than the eye can see. Bowser and Ganondorf barely have time to register as mutliple slash animations are seen, and they fall to the ground, KOed. As a single black feather slowly falls towards the ground Cloud has a look of absolute terror on his face. A figure behind him begins to rise, back turned to the camera. The figure then quickly turns around to reveal a man of angelic beauty. The man raises a ridiculously long nodachi towards Cloud as the title card flashes on the screen: Sephiroth descends into Smash! After various cutscenes showing off his moveset of the villains of smash (maybe along with some heroes including Zelda), Sephiroth uses Supernova on Cloud, KOing him. The logo for Smash Ultimate flashes, and the camera cuts to Cloud at Sephiroth's feet while fire burns in the background. Sephiroth then looks up, mimicking the famous Destruction of Nibelheim scene.
cloud battle someone at the end of the battle cloud beginning to get flashback then a a black feather fall down in front of he Good to see you cloud (sephiroth reborn) there is my reveal for sephiroth for SSBU
Roger Martí Gonzalvo There’s four slots left in the Fighter Pass, so there’s still a chance that Sephiroth can still make it in. But while I’d like the man himself to get in (along with some FF music), at this point I’d settle for a swordfighter costume with One-Winged Angel thrown in. Who knows? Maybe Sakurai received a respectable check to give Minecraft the amount of love it got. Maybe that money will be used to sweeten the deal for more “in demand” fighters.
If that happened, Armageddon would fall all over us, there would be no force to stop him, Smash or FF (he'll kill Zanza with ease, absorb Calamity Ganon with little to no difficulty, slice Bowser's head off with a simple unsheath, and put Mario, Aerith, Cloud, and the rest of the FF/Smash fighters' heads on pikes). He'd be worse than Kefka
Marc-Antoine Jean yes they do, imagine the money they can make if they allow Sora in smash. Besides, KH has been in every portable system for Nintendo so......
@@jeffreyali3644 the fact that kh is on the switch and allowing nintendo to use their character isn't the same thing. Disney doesn't want nintendo to be able to do what they want with their character.
That would be extraordinarily, legendarily petty even for them.... _But_ 2020 has been BS enough where I’d wholly believe they’d stoop to that much trouble just for exactly that.
Imagine this cutscene: Link and Cloud enter the church of Midgar slums, to find Zelda crouched waiting for them, Link runs to her but Cloud stops him, noticing that it is certainly not Zelda, but a clone, and the spirit it took on? Aerith. It is just then that the wooden roof cracks open with black feathers scattering; Sephiroth slowly descends instantly defeating the spirit as One Winged Angel begins.
We didn't actually get Rebirth is Smash, unfortunately. They used AC only. Probably cause everyone's saying the new game Rebirth is from was setting him up to be the tragic antihero, whereas he was the villain in the other 99% of the appearance Smash would be referencing
It's more of a PS game than a Nintendo game, so it wouldn't make sense that a non-Nintendo game got representation in Smash, especially since SE won't bother putting anything that's modern Final Fantasy on Nintendo or Xbox (blame Sony for that) Before everyone mauls me up, NOTE that every game represented in Smash was on a Nintendo console at some point
still love how this version makes you feel like there is no relief there is no triumph there is only surviving Sephiroth. he ain't even my favorite FF villain but goddamn One Winged is just that powerful
The original OWA is fantastic. But this takes it to an ENTIRELY different level. This is visceral, urgent. This really feels like you are not fighting to save humanity, no, you are fighting to save YOURSELF, because he intends to kill you with his own hands- and he will not rest until you are broken, bleeding, despairing beneath his heel.
@@bobertjohnson4459 I just realized in Crisis Core sephiroth parries several attacks from genesis and angeal, I feel like throwing everything you got at a guy with a 7-9 foot sword and he is still standing would be terrifying
Imagine if you will... Bowser and Ganondorf are duking it out with fists, fire and dark magic. After trading a few blows, the two separate and glare at each other. Just as they get ready to charge again... A single black feather floats past them. Both confused at the sight, the lighting darkens and a strange, orange glow lights their backs. Both evil kings turn and their eyes go wide at the fiery Smash logo in the distance. The camera pans in on it...and doesn't stop. There, amid the fire, is a sole figure. The figure looks up, then strides toward the two with an impossibly long katana in hand. One-Winged Angel suddenly begins playing. *SEPHIROTH BRINGS CALAMITY!*
Here‘s an interesting fact that most people either don‘t know or tend to forget: Cloud was the most difficult character to get in Smash Ultimate. People over at Square Enix told Sakurai that they would allow Cloud to be in Sm4sh, but they were *very* hesitant to give him away for Ultimate too. Sakurai admitted that he had to pull some of his strings to get Cloud back in the game because it would‘ve been impossible otherwise. So if anyone goes and asks for other FF characters to be in smash again, the chances are almost non existent for that to happen.
Final Fantasy has a history on Nintendo before Sony touched it. If it was hard to get Cloud in Smash it's most likely due to SquareEnix having to suck Sony's dick and can't get it out of their mouths. In all honesty one would think Square would have jumped at it.
@@Violent_Wolfen Nintendo had them over a barrel and tried to fuck them to high noon. No wonder they went to Sony. But Nintendo also tried to do the same to Sony as well. So it's almost like an abusive relationships anonymous power couple tbf.
Violent Wolfen they don’t have them on a least. It’s just that final fantasy games sell way better on ps then xbox. They can just build up hype for the ps release, make bank and repeat the same process over agin for the pc, nintendo and xbox release to get the most money possible. It’s just business at this point.
@@PapaPootOs he is lol, I'm just glad that he's finally coming to smash, wanted him in for more than a year and it's finally happening!! Lol I think he watched Cloud be in smash 4 and in ultimate and said "I'm done watching I'm coming now"
... You know, if there's a problem with this, it's... Too good. This was used for Sephiroth at the end of FFVII Remake part 1. How the HELL are they going to top THIS for THE final battle!?
*galeem sliced in half* Cloud: "I mean that could be anyone. There's like 30 sword fighters so it's probably not him. It could be that one dude with the key s-" *One winged angel* Sephiroth: " :) " Cloud: " :( "
Sooo sooo sooo good!!! I don’t know the correct musical terminology but those high pitched squeals of the strings giving the implications that even the instruments are scared of his arrival?!? Just fucking beauty in musical form.
Adrian Steven Din that as well, but I think u want the advent children do over of one winged angel for that. As well as the fucking guitar riffs are amazing.
For the first time I have such a strong rage, stronger than when Bowser captures the princess, Sephiroth one day I will have my revenge and I will end up giving YOU the sword.
Cloud after Galeem got cut in half on the trailer on the game awards: *One winged angel starts playing* Cloud: oh no!.... MARIO, ZELDA QUICK REEL IN! CAN'T YOU HEAR THE MUSIC!? THAT'S A 4/4 STRING ONSTINATO IN D-MINOR! EVERY FF7 PLAYER KNOWS IT MEANS SEPHIROTH!! LET'S STOP HIM BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!! HURRY THE MUSIC'S GETTING FASTER!!! Cloud: *opens smash bros orchestra room* There you are you stinkin bilge rats! STOP PLAYING THAT MUSIC!!! STOP IT PLEASE IM BEGGING YOU!!!
Something similar happened to me. I searched "Cloud Advent Children" Because I didn't know what was that, and I watched him fight againts Sephiroth, and the next day Sephiroth appeared in Smash haha

Sidenote: this music makes megalovania pathetic Edit: SEPHIROTH IS HERE AND I WAS KINDA RIGHT
I remember watching this video months ago and telling myself “too bad this will never happen.” Now here we are today, and it’s actually happening!😄I really hope they have this version with the DLC.
Sephiroth Smash moveset ( FF7 spoiler alert ) Stage entrance Sephiroth has his wing out and lowers onto the ground and then raises his sword Movement When facing away from an opponent, Sephiroth will stand normally holding his sword backwards in his hand but when facing his opponent, he will turn his sword around and hold it up to his face just like he does in combat. ( to better picture it, think of Sephiroths stance at the end of FF7 ) however if you turn around, he will wait 7 seconds before going back into his “ facing away “ animation. His walk is him walking threateningly ( similar to the Black Knight assist trophy but faster ). His dash is him gliding ( just like Cloud ). Attacks Jab: Single horizontal but slightly tilted sword swipe ( 13% ) Forward Tilt: A straight sword poke ( 15.9% ) Down tilt: A sword swipe while it also scrapes the ground making electric shocks, therefore the sweetspot being considered and electric attack. The edge of Sephiroth’s sword knocks opponents off their feet ( just like brawl tripping ). Sour spot ( 5.1% ) sweetspot ( 16.3% ) Dash attack: A strong horizontal sword swipe ( 21.4% ). Aerials Neutral air: A half circle sword swing ( just like Cloud and Ike ) ( 10.2% ) Forward air: A 3 hit combo where the first 2 hits are sideways ( basically spelling an X with the sword ) and the 3rd hit is a horizontal sword strike ( 16.7% ) Back air: A sword poke ( think Byleth back-air ) ( 14.8% ) Up air: 3 sword swipes ( like Duck Hunt’s up air but with a sword ) ( 13.6% ) Down air: Hell’s gate ( aka the Aerith killer ), has a sweet spot hitbox similar to Ridley’s down-B where he stabs the opponent and then takes his sword out. If the opponent is hit in the air, the move will spike but the sour spot is anywhere but the tip of Sephiroth’s sword. Sour spot ( 7.2% ) Sweetspot ( 35.7% ) Grabs Sephiroth stabs the opponent with his sword and picking them up just like how he did to Cloud in FF7. However, the sword does not penetrate through the opponent due to the game rating, it only stick into the opponent slightly. Pummel: Hits the opponent down against the ground ( 2.2% ) Forward throw: Sephiroth thrusts his arm back and then forward ( 11.3% ) Up throw: Tosses the opponent upwards ( 11.4% ) Back throw: Swings the opponent backwards ( furthest launching of all his throws ) ( 12.7% ) Down throw: Slams the opponent onto the ground ( 15.6% ) Specials Side-B: Octaslash, functions similarly to Marth’s dancing blade but this move must be pressed 8 times ( 8 hence the name “ octa “ and has to hit the opponent just like Cloud’s crosslash ), the 8th hit is the most powerful hit ( 13% ) but if all hits connect it does a total of 38% damage. Up-B: Aeolian Onslaught, a 2 button move just like Clouds Climhazzard. The first hit functions like Marth’s up-B but does not reach as high due to the length of Sephiroths sword for balancing reasons. The 2nd part of the move will have Sephiroth coming back down with the sword positioned horizontally ( just think Shulk’s side-B ) and any opponent caught underneath will be spiked. Just like Cloud’s up-B, make sure not to press it twice offstage. The first hit does 20.2% damage and the 2nd hit does 26.4% therefore making the move do a total of 46.6%. Back-B: Fervent blow, a backwards Version of Clouds Neutral B. ( Same amount of damage as Clouds Neutral B ) the back-b input is inspired by Terry Neutral B: Black Materia, the hardest move to pull off in the game. Think of having to fully charge Roy/Chroms neutral B without being interrupted by attacks but five times. The move requires to be charged up 5 times and after that, a meteor will hit the middle of the stage thus automatically killing anyone caught in it regardless of percentage. Shield does not work on this move. ( 100% damage ) ( during the animation of the move, the 5 4 3 2 1 will each appear individually at the top of the screen in the same way the “ Omnislash “ text does at the start of Clouds final smash ) Down B: Manipulate, Sephiroth will send out a small glowing dot ( Just like mii gunner’s side-B to tell where the manipulation is ) and the way the manipulation works is just like Zelda’s side B. Anyone caught by the Manipulation will be briefly but fully controlled controlled by Sephiroth as if you switched characters mid-game and he can make them purposely jump offstage and die. Sephiroth is not invincible during the move and can be interrupted. If interrupted, the manipulation will end and give the opponent back control of their character. However, you don’t have to worry about interruption in 1-1 matches. How long the manipulation lasts depends on the amount of damage the opponent has. Just like Mewtwo’s down B or Bayonetta’s down B. The move can be shielded Smash attacks Forward smash: Telluric Fury, thrusts slightly forward and then slashing the opponent twice ( 28.3% ) Up smash: 3 upwards slashes ( 23.7% ) Down smash: Shadow Flare, stuns enemies in front and behind Sephiroth just like Zero Suit Samus’s down smash ( 16.4% ) Final Smash: Supernova, just like the move in the game. The equations calculating the comet hitting the sun appear and anyone over 100% damage is automatically KO’d Special mechanic: Just like Lucario getting stronger from taking damage and Terry’s Go! meter, When Sephiroth is over 100% in damage, he brings his wing out ( hence why he’s the “ One winged angel “ ) and his up B changes to where he flies upwards and if attacked, he automatically slashes the opponent while still continuing flying upwards. This could be considered the first “ super armor “ attack if you don’t count Incineroar’s revenge, but is vulnerable once in free fall. As for all his other moves, they gain an extra boost in damage and Sephiroth’s dash changes to him using his wing to glide. Sephiroth’s moves are powerful but slow for balancing reasons. If you can’t tell already, he is my most wanted villain for smash but likely won’t happen due to Square’s stinginess with licensing. Taunts 1: Swings his sword back and says “ traitor “ 2: swings his sword downwards with wind blowing on him ( just like Ike’s taunts ) and says “ pathetic “ 3: Holds his sword up to his face just like in his battle stance and says “ To the promised land “ Stage Edge of Creation: An outer-space like paradox/realm where Cloud arrives at to defeat Sephiroth. Stage comes from Final Fantasy 7 Remake. Voice clips KO screams 1: An angry grunt 2: “ I will prevail..... “ Star KO: “ I will never end “ Screen KO: A shocked face with him lighting up and disintegrating just like at the end of FF7. ( the blood would not be included for obvious reasons ) Other animations Just like Terry. If Sephiroth let’s go if shield, he can attack immediately with a sword swipe ( 15.8% ) Get up attacks Face up: pokes sword the way his head is facing and the gets up and swings the other way. First hit ( 9% ) 2nd hit ( 12.3% ) Face down: Swings sword both ways. Both hits deal ( 13.6% ) Ledge attack: Swings sword scraping it against the ground ( just like his down tilt I made up earlier ). The sweetspot knocks opponents back and the sour spot ( the tip of the sword ) trips opponents. Sweetspot ( 14.8% ) sourspot ( 7.4% ) Drowning animation: I’ve never seen Sephiroth in water so he’ll struggle and just sink down like every other character. Balancing: balances on one foot at the ledge Dizzy: His hand is on his face and is stepping back and forth trying to regain focus. Sleeping: Crouches down and falls asleep Victory screens: 1: Sephiroth is floating in mid-air with one wing and says “ I will never be a memory “ just like in Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children 2: Sandbag is in the middle of the screen as Sephiroth falls down and uses “ Hell’s Gate “ on it and then the camera zooms in on Sephiroth. 3: Sephiroth is in his Safer Sephiroth form and all the party members from Final Fantasy 7 are laying there defeated with the camera panning the scene and zooms in on Sephiroth. ( sort of like how Mario appears in one of Piranha Plants victory screens and gets bit away ). No contest/losing: He looks away in disappointment not even clapping. Kirby copy ability: Kirby gains Sephiroth’s hair as well as his neutral b, Black Materia ( as mentioned and explained earlier )
PootOs Gaming I’d say probably 2 hours. I was bored at work one day and thought to myself since I played FF7 recently and Sephiroth is my most wanted villain ( the roster needs more villains ) and why not make a move set. One can only hope it actually happens and turns out like this
I watched this when it literally only had like 15 comments and one of them directed me towards a scuffed Wario/Sephiroth parody with like 50 views. Good times. Now this video is massive.
Bro, I watched this back when the freaking FF7R theme kept getting shutdown by Square's copyright crap. I even made a line that suits Sephiroth coming into Smash. Like he doesn't just walk in there; he _descends into Smash._ And for the record this line was a joke. I regret opening my mouth and saying that, but at the same time, I'm happy.
I remember thinking the Advent Children version couldn't get any more indulgent. A 6 minute variation/introduction to the straighter rendition of the original and it _does not stop_ It's like they heard God Shattering Star and felt it was a challenge to outdo it.
Yeah,I'm sorry but that's where you're wrong. The Original and Advent give a more terrifying Vibe than Rebirth does. Rebirth is just too fast with pacing and it ruins the entire fight... I'm sorry but this is a fact...
Between this 7R, FFXVI, new FFXIV patch, this was truly a good year for final fantasy *Mario dies* *Planet avoid jenova and suprenova but get pandemic*
I think this suits him. Lots of intensity, a fair bit of panic, and the glory befitting a One-Winged Angel. Though… mixing in a bit of Advent Children's lyrics would be a good reminder for Cloud that dear old Sephiroth will, and I quote, " _NEVER_ be a memory."
PootOs Gaming I mean it makes since and it’s a good play on words with market strategy. Final roster final dlc final fanatsy. Plus the game sold well and this would only boost it more for both parties.
Since I never played FF7, I had very little clue who exactly Sephiroth was. But when I saw his Smash reveal and heard One-Winged Angel for the first time, I knew I had to learn more about him. And, oh, brother, I was not disappointed. Sephiroth is such a good antagonist and he is cold as an icy snake. And both his English and Japanese VAs convey that perfectly.

Honestly, to me, this song screams "You're weren’t supposed to fight this guy THIS early!"
Originally, Cloud and his group would walk down the ramp and explore outside Midgar after defeating the giant machine.
In the remake, the game throws you a massive multiphase bossfight before throwing Sephiroth at you almost immediately after, and then the group leaves Midgar.
I know that it doesn't concern about FFVII but I think that this song starts playing in my head whenever I see Avatar Belial (Granblue fantasy versus) in a fight.

Cloud: “Stay where you belong, in my memories.”
Sephiroth: “I like your funny words magic man.”
It’s crazy how this video was originally to get around square enix, since they would strike down all the remake music videos. Little did we know this clever way of presenting it like it was a smash track came true.
I honnestly never expected Sephiroth in à million years
They called him a mad man

Idea for a reveal trailer:
Cloud is fighting Bowser and Ganondorf in a burning battlefield. Cloud begins to get overwhelmed, but quickly starts to get the upper hand. As he prepares a finishing blow, a figure rushes past them, faster than the eye can see. Bowser and Ganondorf barely have time to register as mutliple slash animations are seen, and they fall to the ground, KOed.
As a single black feather slowly falls towards the ground Cloud has a look of absolute terror on his face. A figure behind him begins to rise, back turned to the camera. The figure then quickly turns around to reveal a man of angelic beauty. The man raises a ridiculously long nodachi towards Cloud as the title card flashes on the screen:
Sephiroth descends into Smash!
After various cutscenes showing off his moveset of the villains of smash (maybe along with some heroes including Zelda), Sephiroth uses Supernova on Cloud, KOing him.
The logo for Smash Ultimate flashes, and the camera cuts to Cloud at Sephiroth's feet while fire burns in the background. Sephiroth then looks up, mimicking the famous Destruction of Nibelheim scene.
GamingDemigodXIII sounds awesome
Nintendo should hire you to plan those reveal trailers lmao
Is Not back
cloud battle someone at the end of the battle cloud beginning to get flashback then a a black feather fall down in front of he
Good to see you cloud
(sephiroth reborn)
there is my reveal for sephiroth for SSBU
Roger Martí Gonzalvo There’s four slots left in the Fighter Pass, so there’s still a chance that Sephiroth can still make it in. But while I’d like the man himself to get in (along with some FF music), at this point I’d settle for a swordfighter costume with One-Winged Angel thrown in.
Who knows? Maybe Sakurai received a respectable check to give Minecraft the amount of love it got. Maybe that money will be used to sweeten the deal for more “in demand” fighters.
Nobuo Uematsu: Sephiroth, how epic do you want the new version of your theme to be?
Sephiroth: *YES*

How bout both?
Alright folks, hear me out. What if Square Enix allowed Sakurai and Nintendo to include Sephiroth in Smash so they could copyright this video?
Probably
That explains all
That would be extraordinarily, legendarily petty even for them....
_But_ 2020 has been BS enough where I’d wholly believe they’d stoop to that much trouble just for exactly that.
Imagine this cutscene:
Link and Cloud enter the church of Midgar slums, to find Zelda crouched waiting for them, Link runs to her but Cloud stops him, noticing that it is certainly not Zelda, but a clone, and the spirit it took on? Aerith. It is just then that the wooden roof cracks open with black feathers scattering; Sephiroth slowly descends instantly defeating the spirit as One Winged Angel begins.
Sonic: thats one more hostile puppet fighter down.
Cloud: why your are sadist Sonic.
Just know where ever cloud goes......
.......Septhiroth not far behind
We didn't actually get Rebirth is Smash, unfortunately. They used AC only. Probably cause everyone's saying the new game Rebirth is from was setting him up to be the tragic antihero, whereas he was the villain in the other 99% of the appearance Smash would be referencing
He never was portrayed as an anti hero in the Remake though, I don't know where you're getting that.
It's more of a PS game than a Nintendo game, so it wouldn't make sense that a non-Nintendo game got representation in Smash, especially since SE won't bother putting anything that's modern Final Fantasy on Nintendo or Xbox (blame Sony for that)
Before everyone mauls me up, NOTE that every game represented in Smash was on a Nintendo console at some point
@@S.K.R.E.Inc. Persona has only been on Playstation other than spin-offs and there's music from there in Smash.
And I heard not a lot of people like Rebirth. I don't know what they are talking about. This song is awesome.
still love how this version makes you feel like there is no relief there is no triumph there is only surviving Sephiroth. he ain't even my favorite FF villain but goddamn One Winged is just that powerful
The original OWA is fantastic. But this takes it to an ENTIRELY different level. This is visceral, urgent. This really feels like you are not fighting to save humanity, no, you are fighting to save YOURSELF, because he intends to kill you with his own hands- and he will not rest until you are broken, bleeding, despairing beneath his heel.
Feels almost like a horror theme tbh.

Here‘s an interesting fact that most people either don‘t know or tend to forget:
Cloud was the most difficult character to get in Smash Ultimate. People over at Square Enix told Sakurai that they would allow Cloud to be in Sm4sh, but they were *very* hesitant to give him away for Ultimate too. Sakurai admitted that he had to pull some of his strings to get Cloud back in the game because it would‘ve been impossible otherwise. So if anyone goes and asks for other FF characters to be in smash again, the chances are almost non existent for that to happen.
Final Fantasy has a history on Nintendo before Sony touched it. If it was hard to get Cloud in Smash it's most likely due to SquareEnix having to suck Sony's dick and can't get it out of their mouths. In all honesty one would think Square would have jumped at it.
Violent Wolfen they’ve been with sony since ff7 came out and saved their company.
@@kyzersoze8408 I know how long that relationship has been there, but don't think that Sony doesn't have them on a leash.
@@Violent_Wolfen Nintendo had them over a barrel and tried to fuck them to high noon. No wonder they went to Sony. But Nintendo also tried to do the same to Sony as well. So it's almost like an abusive relationships anonymous power couple tbf.
Violent Wolfen they don’t have them on a least. It’s just that final fantasy games sell way better on ps then xbox. They can just build up hype for the ps release, make bank and repeat the same process over agin for the pc, nintendo and xbox release to get the most money possible. It’s just business at this point.

Down special: scintilla: blocks anything, on successful block, strikes 4 times
Up special: heavens light: just Roy's up special
Neutral special: black materia or heartless angel: if black materia, hold b to charge, and release a meteor, increasing size and damage based on charge length; if heartless angel, sets enemy to 100% after charging for 5 secs (10 hp in stamina)
Final smash: supernova: flies to the screen to unleash a projectile (like zss and bowser), then creates a cutscene where a star is hit by the projectile, causing a supernova, damaging all enemies hit by the initial projectile
Down special (aerial): hell's gate: hold b to extend duration, starts falling with the blade pointing down, command grabbing the first enemy hit, upon release, or he hits the ground, launches target
Willing to take other suggestions
Edits:
Victory animation: Hells gate, black materia in background
Music: pretty sure this doesn't need to be explained
Alts: like clouds, alternates between winged and no wing
Can someone animate this?

Caught this comment 9 Secconds after lmao
Sephiroth Smash moveset
( FF7 spoiler alert )
Stage entrance
Sephiroth has his wing out and lowers onto the ground and then raises his sword
Movement
When facing away from an opponent, Sephiroth will stand normally holding his sword backwards in his hand but when facing his opponent, he will turn his sword around and hold it up to his face just like he does in combat. ( to better picture it, think of Sephiroths stance at the end of FF7 ) however if you turn around, he will wait 7 seconds before going back into his “ facing away “ animation.
His walk is him walking threateningly ( similar to the Black Knight assist trophy but faster ). His dash is him gliding ( just like Cloud ).
Attacks
Jab: Single horizontal but slightly tilted sword swipe ( 13% )
Forward Tilt: A straight sword poke ( 15.9% )
Down tilt: A sword swipe while it also scrapes the ground making electric shocks, therefore the sweetspot being considered and electric attack. The edge of Sephiroth’s sword knocks opponents off their feet ( just like brawl tripping ). Sour spot ( 5.1% ) sweetspot ( 16.3% )
Dash attack: A strong horizontal sword swipe ( 21.4% ).
Aerials
Neutral air: A half circle sword swing ( just like Cloud and Ike ) ( 10.2% )
Forward air: A 3 hit combo where the first 2 hits are sideways ( basically spelling an X with the sword ) and the 3rd hit is a horizontal sword strike ( 16.7% )
Back air: A sword poke ( think Byleth back-air ) ( 14.8% )
Up air: 3 sword swipes ( like Duck Hunt’s up air but with a sword ) ( 13.6% )
Down air: Hell’s gate ( aka the Aerith killer ), has a sweet spot hitbox similar to Ridley’s down-B where he stabs the opponent and then takes his sword out. If the opponent is hit in the air, the move will spike but the sour spot is anywhere but the tip of Sephiroth’s sword. Sour spot ( 7.2% ) Sweetspot ( 35.7% )
Grabs
Sephiroth stabs the opponent with his sword and picking them up just like how he did to Cloud in FF7. However, the sword does not penetrate through the opponent due to the game rating, it only stick into the opponent slightly.
Pummel: Hits the opponent down against the ground ( 2.2% )
Forward throw: Sephiroth thrusts his arm back and then forward ( 11.3% )
Up throw: Tosses the opponent upwards ( 11.4% )
Back throw: Swings the opponent backwards ( furthest launching of all his throws ) ( 12.7% )
Down throw: Slams the opponent onto the ground ( 15.6% )
Specials
Side-B: Octaslash, functions similarly to Marth’s dancing blade but this move must be pressed 8 times ( 8 hence the name “ octa “ and has to hit the opponent just like Cloud’s crosslash ), the 8th hit is the most powerful hit ( 13% ) but if all hits connect it does a total of 38% damage.
Up-B: Aeolian Onslaught, a 2 button move just like Clouds Climhazzard. The first hit functions like Marth’s up-B but does not reach as high due to the length of Sephiroths sword for balancing reasons. The 2nd part of the move will have Sephiroth coming back down with the sword positioned horizontally ( just think Shulk’s side-B ) and any opponent caught underneath will be spiked. Just like Cloud’s up-B, make sure not to press it twice offstage. The first hit does 20.2% damage and the 2nd hit does 26.4% therefore making the move do a total of 46.6%.
Back-B: Fervent blow, a backwards Version of Clouds Neutral B. ( Same amount of damage as Clouds Neutral B ) the back-b input is inspired by Terry
Neutral B: Black Materia, the hardest move to pull off in the game. Think of having to fully charge Roy/Chroms neutral B without being interrupted by attacks but five times. The move requires to be charged up 5 times and after that, a meteor will hit the middle of the stage thus automatically killing anyone caught in it regardless of percentage. Shield does not work on this move. ( 100% damage ) ( during the animation of the move, the 5 4 3 2 1 will each appear individually at the top of the screen in the same way the “ Omnislash “ text does at the start of Clouds final smash )
Down B: Manipulate, Sephiroth will send out a small glowing dot ( Just like mii gunner’s side-B to tell where the manipulation is ) and the way the manipulation works is just like Zelda’s side B. Anyone caught by the Manipulation will be briefly but fully controlled controlled by Sephiroth as if you switched characters mid-game and he can make them purposely jump offstage and die. Sephiroth is not invincible during the move and can be interrupted. If interrupted, the manipulation will end and give the opponent back control of their character. However, you don’t have to worry about interruption in 1-1 matches. How long the manipulation lasts depends on the amount of damage the opponent has. Just like Mewtwo’s down B or Bayonetta’s down B. The move can be shielded
Smash attacks
Forward smash: Telluric Fury, thrusts slightly forward and then slashing the opponent twice ( 28.3% )
Up smash: 3 upwards slashes ( 23.7% )
Down smash: Shadow Flare, stuns enemies in front and behind Sephiroth just like Zero Suit Samus’s down smash ( 16.4% )
Final Smash: Supernova, just like the move in the game. The equations calculating the comet hitting the sun appear and anyone over 100% damage is automatically KO’d
Special mechanic: Just like Lucario getting stronger from taking damage and Terry’s Go! meter, When Sephiroth is over 100% in damage, he brings his wing out ( hence why he’s the “ One winged angel “ ) and his up B changes to where he flies upwards and if attacked, he automatically slashes the opponent while still continuing flying upwards. This could be considered the first “ super armor “ attack if you don’t count Incineroar’s revenge, but is vulnerable once in free fall. As for all his other moves, they gain an extra boost in damage and Sephiroth’s dash changes to him using his wing to glide.
Sephiroth’s moves are powerful but slow for balancing reasons. If you can’t tell already, he is my most wanted villain for smash but likely won’t happen due to Square’s stinginess with licensing.
Taunts
1: Swings his sword back and says “ traitor “
2: swings his sword downwards with wind blowing on him ( just like Ike’s taunts ) and says “ pathetic “
3: Holds his sword up to his face just like in his battle stance and says “ To the promised land “
Stage
Edge of Creation: An outer-space like paradox/realm where Cloud arrives at to defeat Sephiroth. Stage comes from Final Fantasy 7 Remake.
Voice clips
KO screams
1: An angry grunt
2: “ I will prevail..... “
Star KO: “ I will never end “
Screen KO: A shocked face with him lighting up and disintegrating just like at the end of FF7. ( the blood would not be included for obvious reasons )
Other animations
Just like Terry. If Sephiroth let’s go if shield, he can attack immediately with a sword swipe ( 15.8% )
Get up attacks
Face up: pokes sword the way his head is facing and the gets up and swings the other way. First hit ( 9% ) 2nd hit ( 12.3% )
Face down: Swings sword both ways. Both hits deal ( 13.6% )
Ledge attack: Swings sword scraping it against the ground ( just like his down tilt I made up earlier ). The sweetspot knocks opponents back and the sour spot ( the tip of the sword ) trips opponents. Sweetspot ( 14.8% ) sourspot ( 7.4% )
Drowning animation: I’ve never seen Sephiroth in water so he’ll struggle and just sink down like every other character.
Balancing: balances on one foot at the ledge
Dizzy: His hand is on his face and is stepping back and forth trying to regain focus.
Sleeping: Crouches down and falls asleep
Victory screens:
1: Sephiroth is floating in mid-air with one wing and says “ I will never be a memory “ just like in Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children
2: Sandbag is in the middle of the screen as Sephiroth falls down and uses “ Hell’s Gate “ on it and then the camera zooms in on Sephiroth.
3: Sephiroth is in his Safer Sephiroth form and all the party members from Final Fantasy 7 are laying there defeated with the camera panning the scene and zooms in on Sephiroth. ( sort of like how Mario appears in one of Piranha Plants victory screens and gets bit away ).
No contest/losing: He looks away in disappointment not even clapping.
Kirby copy ability: Kirby gains Sephiroth’s hair as well as his neutral b, Black Materia ( as mentioned and explained earlier )
DAMN that moveset is awesome, how long did it take to come up with it?
PootOs Gaming I’d say probably 2 hours. I was bored at work one day and thought to myself since I played FF7 recently and Sephiroth is my most wanted villain ( the roster needs more villains ) and why not make a move set. One can only hope it actually happens and turns out like this
@@jackattack6430 damnnnn

I remember listening to this thinking how cool it would be for him to get in, but thinking it was too outlandish of an idea to be real.
Literally the same thing with me
Alright now give me the lotto numbers
I screamed so hard when i saw the trailer LOL
Me too bro i can not believe
same!!
I remember thinking the Advent Children version couldn't get any more indulgent. A 6 minute variation/introduction to the straighter rendition of the original and it _does not stop_
It's like they heard God Shattering Star and felt it was a challenge to outdo it.
this guy predicted Sephiroth being in super smash brothers ultimate 7 months before nintendo announced it
That moment when it’s 7 seconds until the end but time has to go in slow motion to let you enjoy the whole song
Mario paused the video but the theme is still playing.
Cloud: Aw shit, here we go again.
Okay bro, what lottery ticket numbers should I get?
Not many versions of this song give off QUITE as much of an "Oh Shit" Vibe as this one.
facts
Yeah,I'm sorry but that's where you're wrong. The Original and Advent give a more terrifying Vibe than Rebirth does. Rebirth is just too fast with pacing and it ruins the entire fight... I'm sorry but this is a fact...
@@sebastiankuolcrimson1622 Nah.
@@HeliosThor64 Think whatever you choose,I know the truth.
@@sebastiankuolcrimson1622 Your opinion is anything but the truth.
I love that this is basically a horror theme. You KNOW you're fucked once this starts playing. Perfect for his reveal too
The final boss of 2020
Well this is one way to avoid getting yeeted by copyright
lmao, i didn't even post this for the intend to avoid square enix strike lol
Between this 7R, FFXVI, new FFXIV patch, this was truly a good year for final fantasy
*Mario dies*
*Planet avoid jenova and suprenova but get pandemic*
True, next year we should get FF14 expansion, FF7R on PC/Xbox and more FF16 information. 😍
The real world skipped all the cool stuff and went straight to Geostigma
"Well, hello, Cloud. What a lovely conflux of universes you've found for me to...collect."
"He's pretty tough."
"So what? Screw him."
Now this video's gonna pop off with millions of views cause Sephiroth is in Smash
hi mom, i love you
Joker I thought Bayonetta was your mom, wut also I may or not have forgotten about the assignment professor
I'm just here to sit in a corner I choose who my mom is
Bayo come get your son
@@imjustheretositinacorner3078 noo ahhhh
Really wished that Sephiroth was announced as the last fighter so that we could've actually got this track in the game.
I think this suits him.
Lots of intensity, a fair bit of panic, and the glory befitting a One-Winged Angel.
Though… mixing in a bit of Advent Children's lyrics would be a good reminder for Cloud that dear old Sephiroth will, and I quote, " _NEVER_ be a memory."
Man just imagine as this character is the final dlc announcement with this theme.
the final spot for the final best villain :D
PootOs Gaming I mean it makes since and it’s a good play on words with market strategy. Final roster final dlc final fanatsy. Plus the game sold well and this would only boost it more for both parties.
@@marcusbullock2753 good point :P

Turns out Sephiroth was the December final boss of 2020 people keep talking about
Since I never played FF7, I had very little clue who exactly Sephiroth was. But when I saw his Smash reveal and heard One-Winged Angel for the first time, I knew I had to learn more about him. And, oh, brother, I was not disappointed. Sephiroth is such a good antagonist and he is cold as an icy snake. And both his English and Japanese VAs convey that perfectly.
