    Some may call Sephiroth a sword character, but I see him as more of a snap character.

      Its actually very well done, just found this channel. I watch smash 'guides' from time to time for characters I rarely play but most people have less of a clue than myself lol. This one is great though, especially cause its only week 2 of this character.

    Never pressed a YT notification faster. I beat and loved FF7 as a child, Ultimate is my first real Smash game that I’ve put energy into getting good at (I played N64 version as a kid) and my main has been bottom-tier Ganondorf since launch. Sephiroth feels like he was built for my exact playstyle and this guide just became my bible for the next few weeks. Thanks so much for putting this together! Committing to Sephiroth as my new main has revitalized my interest in the game 🙏🏻🙏🏻

  • @TheBlitzish
    @TheBlitzish Před 3 lety +6

    Great vid, thanks so much for making it! One small note on Sephiroth's Shadow Flares, only the last orb hit will always send your opponent away. The earlier orb hits work different. They send the opponent in the opposite direction of where they were facing when hit with the original application of the move. At low percents it doesn't matter because they don't have much knockback, but at high percents it can make the difference between a kill or not. Niche info but could come in handy at high percents.

    Thank you SO much for this video! 🙏 It is SO appreciated. I was instantly drawn to Sephiroth's playstyle in Smash, and he just stuck with me. I have been maining Sephiroth in Smash for about a year now. Recently, I made it into my high school's Smash Bros. team. So, I've been starting to get really serious about it. There's a lot of pressure on me for being the only female on my team, and my scores have been fluctuating a lot. These tips are really going to up my gameplay, but I still need to train and study more. No matter what kind of score I end up with, I'll just be glad I made it that far with Sephiroth. 🙌🖤 I am going to use a LOT more of my neutrals now since seeing this video. 😆 Can't rely on those specials TOO much. Glory to God I found this video when I did. Again, this video is appreciated... Thank you. ⚔🤺 I wish you all the best for your channel.

    Man...
    How the hell did you do that reverse at 04:46 ?
    Did a couple of times by accident, but have no idea how.
    Also how do I perform this "double nair" so fast 08:12 ?
    Thanks. :)

    I don't know how much it matters, but there IS a gap between the shield phase and attack phase of Scintilla that you can hit him through.

    PLEASE do Art of Ken!
    He's especially complicated, and your particularly succinct and expert way of explaining a character would be especially helpful for him.
