Having almost the same amount of hype on release as Cloud did in Smash 4, Sephiroth came into Smash Ultimate with high expectations, and while he showed a lot of promise in regards to strengths, his weaknesses proved to be more egregious than expected. So for today we'll be talking about Why NO ONE Plays: Sephiroth.

Sephiroth is a good counter to other swordies. It basically like playing rock, paper, scissors, but your opponent choise scissors and you choose bigger scissors.

“Sephiroth has the longest f-air in the game”
Min Min: I don’t even know if I count…

Ah yes this tall dude with a long sword is the same weight as a pink puff ball

@FabschOblivion669 3 years ago (edited)

What I’ve seen is that in most scenes, there’s always at least that one guy who plays Sephiroth, regardless of skill level.

To this day I still cant believe how Sakurai, when all other FP2 characters are broken as hell, decided “Lets make Sephi an actually balanced character”… dude he is THE one character that should be the most broken of all 😭

Sephiroth has the Best Smash Ultimate Trailer. Change My Mind

@runningwithscissors8612 3 years ago

Problem is that of all the DLC characters in the game, Sephiroth is the one they wanted to make balanced

i will main sephiroth until the end of my days, fight me

@Redpoppy80 3 years ago

For me at least Sephiroth's greatest flaw that would make him good but not broken in high level is his weight. He just dies too early. He really needs like 10 units of weight. This way, his wing has more time out which actually makes him more dangerous without having to change his moveset at all. I see Sephiroth die BEFORE his wing can come out or right when he is dying.

I think Nairo summed it up perfectly: he doesn’t have the fast and active hitboxes you’d want from a sword since there’s all the spacings on his moves

I really like how Sephiroth is designed, from an opponent perspective. He truly feels like a "final boss" considering his power while outspacing you and how you can throw that back at him once you get upclose.

Even wing can enhance that sensation if you consider it a "2nd phase".

He should’ve been the broken DLC character… why is the universe so cruel… Maybe next game…

"sephiroth has bad frame data"

Me watching as a sephiroth main.

@TheHorseWhoKnows 3 years ago

The accuracy and spacing style of sephiroth is what I love about maining him, he lives as a glass cannon and its super rewarding and punishing. His reward for keeping people out and learning how to box and space properly with him feels so satisfying. I know he feels niche and not for everyone but for people that love him it feels like the right fit.

@smilingman4299 3 years ago

Something you haven't talked about and I think might be relevant is that he also suffers the same problem as Marth, in which if you don't land the sweetspot of his moves he's gonna have troubles killing. And being light + having trouble to kill is usually not great.
