This will forever be the coolest smash ultimate reveal. I love Steve and Soras reveals but that’s mainly coz I love the characters. Sephiroth I didn’t have much attachment to, but the way he appeared and destroyed everyone with that music in the background was incredible
I didn't really care about Steve and Sora's inclusion in smash probably because I have never played Kingdom Hearts and Minecraft but Sephiroth's inclusion got me hyped I loved the original FINAL FANTASY 7 I didn't even know Sephiroth was even going to be in this game he is the reason why I even got a Switch in the first place
I like to think that every character knows everyone’s theme in their universe, which would explain why Cloud identifies Sephiroth with almost no trouble, despite him being a dot.
“Hey, Squarenix, can we have Sephiroth in the game?” “Only if he freaking kills Mario in the most brutal way possible.” “Can we fake it?” Sure, whatever.”

@@rachaelmatte7087 Only if we could get a storymode game with fully animated cutscenes like this with same characters. A Smash spinoff or Subspace sequel? It'd be fucking awesome
Coming back to this after 2 and a half years and I can say with extreme confidence that this was the most hype reveal. This is where Smash Ultimate peaked.
This trailer hit so hard because of several factors. He’s THE poster boy of villains, he’s THE original Anime Sword Fighter, his theme is upon the most widely known just in music, not even just as a theme. The most impressive of all was that Nintendo kept it under wraps so incredibly well. No one knew! Not a single leak, not even a rumor. No one asked for Sephiroth, but dude was EASILY the one people were most readily able to accept. He’s super popular but isn’t overbearing like Minecraft Steve or Sora (love both of them, but be honest, they’re suffocating with how much they were talked about prior, during, and post reveal), and his significance helped welcome him (or I guess… let him in?) to the universe of Smash. Few asked, but no one will argue that his legacy is more than deserving of earning a spot in THE ultimate crossover game. Ladies and Gentleman… Sephiroth.
Yeah I agree he left a legacy for other villains to follow and he is definitely THE Anime Sword fighter and he is probably the reason why other JRPG characters fight with swords in their games
*in Kingdom Hearts* Cloud: "finally I can relax against the stress of my past" *one winged angel plays* Cloud: "son of a...." *Kingdom Hearts 2* Cloud: "therapist says I need to relax and stop worrying about my past so much" *one winged angel plays as Tifa fights Sephiroth* Cloud: "oh fu..." *each Dissidia game* Cloud: "every time, every god damn time" *Sephiroth in background grinning sheepishly* *little big planet* Cloud: "too.....painful....to....watch" *smash bros ultimate* "Introducing Cloud Strife to the roster" *many months fighting and relaxing no longer concerned about his past* Cloud: "finally nice to fight and not worry I wonder what's next for me after this? *stops mid fight from pain in arm* Mario: "cloud whatsa wrong?"

Well a trailer is meant to be an introduction to something. Movie trailers are introductions to the movie. And a character reveal trailer is no different.
New headcanon: Sephiroth invading countless settings looking for Cloud. He just waltzes into Cartoon Network shows, Disney Channel shows, Nickelodeon shows, shonen anime, isekai anime, and other video games, asking characters there if they've seen Cloud.
It's really freaking cool how his gameplay showings are legit part of the cinematic stuff. Sephiroth went on a tear through most all smash characters til the gameplay ended and it started up the cinematics again where he BFR'ed Mario and went to fight Cloud. Super cool.
Cloud: chilling in an alternate universe enjoying himself with no trauma.

Because he is Cloud's fear,dark side,opposite,equal,nightmare and most importantly:
His despair.
Everyone: He killed Galeem! We’re saved!
Cloud: He isn’t saving us.. Galeem was just in the way!
Sephiroth: I wouldn't say "saved", more like "under new management".
Honestly, that's a scary thought if I was one of the fighters lol
Same when Dark Phoenix defeated Galactus in Marvel vs. Capcom 3.
@@royal_kim1154 Pretty much the end of the midgar portion of the original FF7
And then Mr game and watch gets lucky with a 9.
This will forever be the coolest smash ultimate reveal. I love Steve and Soras reveals but that’s mainly coz I love the characters. Sephiroth I didn’t have much attachment to, but the way he appeared and destroyed everyone with that music in the background was incredible
I didn't really care about Steve and Sora's inclusion in smash probably because I have never played Kingdom Hearts and Minecraft but Sephiroth's inclusion got me hyped I loved the original FINAL FANTASY 7 I didn't even know Sephiroth was even going to be in this game he is the reason why I even got a Switch in the first place
I come back to this trailer from time to time and watch it again, just to relive the moment. Absolutely perfect reveal for Sephiroth.
Sora in KH2: “they went to fight in another world”
It was SMASH ALL ALONG
This joke was made after Cloud's reveal too.
We should have known
SORA CONFIRMED?
A timeless battle too, seeing as fights are constantly held in Smash
@Manuel Niño considering how much Nomura and Sakurai like working together, it's not impossible.
everyone: oh good we're saved
cloud: we're dead for sure this time
He just cant get a break
But wait! There’s more!
YESS XD
1000th like :O
@@luluhika5754 chuckles in smash 4
After seeing the final character reveal trailer I still believe that this trailer is the best out of all of the other reveal trailers
Agreed. Sora's wasn't bad though, and Steve was hype.
Agreed. With "One-Winged Angel" playing, the trailer ends so perfectly.
This was Sakurai’s red herring to make us think no more Square characters would appear in the game. And it was a damn good one
the Cloud Sephiroth short battle scene is just pure adrenaline and chills 2:09
They actually had me convinced that he impaled Mario for a second.
Same with me.
@@Mario87456 Wait
@@EClips_Toast Not a role play account so many people make that mistake that I can’t usually can’t be bothered to correct them anymore.
I thought the same, I was “well, shit....that got real”
It's Nintendo. Is this your first videogame?
I like to think that every character knows everyone’s theme in their universe, which would explain why Cloud identifies Sephiroth with almost no trouble, despite him being a dot.
Sephiroth=Despair
Sora=Hope
Dis pear

“Can we fake it?”
Sure, whatever.”

I still remember my reaction to this trailer. I don’t even play Final Fantasy, but the second I heard One Winged Angel, I knew who it was and lost it
I know this is 3 months ago but I was the same way. When I heard the theme I was lost of words and was shocked the entire trailer reveal.
Admit it, when his theme started playing, you all felt the most fear and simultaneous hype you have ever and will ever feel in your entire life
Nintendo really didn’t have to animate every hair on this mans head, but they did it anyways...like damn...
They did it for us

Only if we could get a storymode game with fully animated cutscenes like this with same characters. A Smash spinoff or Subspace sequel? It'd be fucking awesome
@@ChrisJohnson-ib5fp Actually...what'd I really like to see is a parody of a L'Oreal commercial with Sephiroth's hair
It’s Sephiroth! It’s gotta be perfect!!!!
@@rachaelmatte7087 Sephiroth is Worth it.
Mario: It’s alright. We can take him together, right Cloud?
Cloud: *Already in another dimension*
*Cloud_86 has left the game*
With his luck, he could find his way into a pac man game, wouldn't make a difference.
Sephiroth will still find him.
Imagine Cloud and Sephiroth in a Mario Kart game :D
🤣🤣🤣
Cloud: peace out, gonna go hang with the Fifa guys
Coming back to this after 2 and a half years and I can say with extreme confidence that this was the most hype reveal. This is where Smash Ultimate peaked.
This trailer hit so hard because of several factors. He’s THE poster boy of villains, he’s THE original Anime Sword Fighter, his theme is upon the most widely known just in music, not even just as a theme. The most impressive of all was that Nintendo kept it under wraps so incredibly well. No one knew! Not a single leak, not even a rumor. No one asked for Sephiroth, but dude was EASILY the one people were most readily able to accept. He’s super popular but isn’t overbearing like Minecraft Steve or Sora (love both of them, but be honest, they’re suffocating with how much they were talked about prior, during, and post reveal), and his significance helped welcome him (or I guess… let him in?) to the universe of Smash. Few asked, but no one will argue that his legacy is more than deserving of earning a spot in THE ultimate crossover game. Ladies and Gentleman… Sephiroth.
Yeah I agree he left a legacy for other villains to follow and he is definitely THE Anime Sword fighter and he is probably the reason why other JRPG characters fight with swords in their games
Poor Cloud's having PTSD all over again

too soon

This made me laugh
That was legit a BADASS MOMENT!
Sephiroth: oh wait darkon is missing, just a moment please
Ok you got me dead with that one buddy.
Tahnks
Everybody gansta till One Winged Angel starts playing
Best trailer ever. In what world does a character from another game just come and one shot the final boss as an introduction
Cloud when galeem gets cut in half: Oh this is so much worse now.
Right saw that he got cut in half was like hey there saved *one winged angel starts* never mined it just got worse
nah, one word comes to mind and it starts with an F.
Well yes since Sephiroth destroyed a solar system before
Bruh what I find the funnist is that he didnt even get an invitation mans straight just showed up like
"I heard cloud was here"
Dharkon: "Pass the popcorn."
Fans: No more swordsmen
Sephiroth: Appears
Fans: Maybe one more
Also fans: We take it all back.
Sephiroth: Good. (kills the fans)

If you see anybody saying they don't care for sephiroth being in smash then clearly they've never heard of/played final fantasy 7
@@obi-wank-enobi I've never played FF7 (yes gasp now if you wish) and even I was hyped when this was announced. That's the power of FF7
@@blbprime11 same, i even bought FF7 with the leftover cash from buying sephiro-AHEM i mean PAYING sephiroth to join my roster
I still get chills watching this trailer... By FAR the best inclusion in this game.
We can ALL say that was probably THE BEST Smash trailer we'd ever seen in terms of character, music, and surprise!
Sephiroth wasn’t even invited, he just showed up to crash the party.
After deposing of Sora who got in the way
More like SMASH the party ;)
Geno was invited but Sephiroth teared apart his invitation
Cloud being there is HIS invitation
Just like palutena, dark pit, pit and sonic
All memes aside, this is one of the most badass villian introductions in gaming, and it's literally just his fucking trailer.
It reminds me of The Darth Vader scene in Rogue One.
Something about those timeless villains
@@kris6038 yes!
Honestly my fav reveal trailer, and I didn't even know who sephiroth was, just his theme
If Cloud knows, so you do too.
Well a trailer is meant to be an introduction to something. Movie trailers are introductions to the movie. And a character reveal trailer is no different.
Best reveal to date hands ALL THE WAY DOWN
Yeah I still come back to watch it, I’ll never be this hype again
Mega Man's and the Belmonts' were also perfection.
@@KalmMind As someone who wanted Sephiroth in Smash more than anyone else for two years agreed lmao

How is this possible.
Is this possible?
What is possible?
after the final reveal trailer i can now say, with confidence, this was the coolest trailer for all the characters, with hero coming in second
It's really freaking cool how his gameplay showings are legit part of the cinematic stuff. Sephiroth went on a tear through most all smash characters til the gameplay ended and it started up the cinematics again where he BFR'ed Mario and went to fight Cloud. Super cool.
Imagine showing this to the Smash community when Brawl was in development
