They didn't take into consideration that he can gain an extra jump when he grows an extra wing after taking a bit of damage, and I honestly think he would've had most of those jumps if it had been used
Sephiroth is weak compared to some of the characters who have to self-limit their power in SSBU, like Palutena (an ACTUAL Deity) or Kirby (an orb who kills Eldritch Gods like they're ants). I guarantee that if Palutena or Kirby was allowed to fight at their canon power levels, they'd be able to kill you with a Jab at 0%.
@@DeisFortuna you forgot steve someone who goes from mining a tree to killing a interdimensional dragon and a black three headed thing from the underworld fueled with souls
@@fansundertable649 basically to summarize it in very basic and no too detailed terms because then we'd be here all night, everywhere Cloud goes, Sephiroth haunts him because he is Cloud's sworn enemy and has very, very big plans to benefit himself and "mother"
@Julio Negron-Yslas Can you time stamp the moment? because I've rewatched it quite a few times and can't see any sign of them trying fair. With 3 jumps and 13 frame startup, I think he should at least be able to stick one in. I don't know about getting to the top with it though
Sephiroth's up special goes farther when "uncharged", doing the regular slash instead of octoslash. Not sure how much that would have helped, but a few challenges looked somewhat close using octo.
I think that a lot of the damage-based challenges that were attempted with the gigaflare would work better when working with the shadow flare for additional damage and distance by a long shot when max shadow flares are on the opponent.
5:18 that works with the one wing angel (transformation) 6:31 the counter needs to be facing the attack (he could make that as well) Btw I love so much this character
I absolutely love these 30 difficult Challenges, especially since it features my favorite character, the legendary one-winged angel, Sephiroth, who is also my strongest DLC main.
The whole Internet was talking about it lol. And believe me, I wouldn't think sephiroth of all people would join smash. Until I saw it. Because the game awards was completely pointless. The first tune from the one winged angel was a dead giveaway.
For the Training Stage jump, I think he could make it if the Battlefield stage wasn't there. The closest I've done is by facing backward and using Sephiroth's forward air to stick into the top of the two 'steps' where you start then jumping out of it, and airdodging when nearing the Battlefield section. The section prevents an optimal direction, but you could still get pretty close with your jumps and Octaslash.
i cant beat him in kingdom hearts 2. took me enough months to beat him in BEGINNER MODE. barely lasts 10 seconds on proud mode when he gets to his second phase IF i can get through the first WITHOUT underestimating the range on his sword . AND by trying not to get hit after a combo or a strong attack BECAUSE 4 ATTACKS WILL MELT YOUR HP ON HIS FIRST FORM! HE HAS A FREAKING ATTACK THAT INSTANTLY PUTS YOU ON ONE HP AND YOU CANT AVOID COUNTER OR BLOCK OR CANCEL IT!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA- excuse me have issuesi
I feel the need to mention: Most of these challenges are using Sephiroth's Omnislash Up-B by holding Up-B. But if you just tap Up-B, don't hold it, Sephiroth will use Sword Dash instead. The key difference, is that Sword Dash will get more height and range, but doesn't deal much damage. While Omnislash is a good kill confirm, and great safety for recovering; since it's tricky to challenge with the risk of high damage. But for many of these challenges; the distance that Sword Dash offers is so small; it doesn't often come into play. Maybe he could succeed in one or two more challenges involving platforming.
If Sakurai and Bamco gave Sephiroth his trademark glide ability from Dissidia and 012 as well as the KH games to his Smash winged form he would have been successful in a lot more.
