Smash Reveal: Sephiroth

So now that the dust has settled, what do we think of Sephiroth? Good addition? Shill pick? Better than Byleth? Worse than Jonesy?

Good addition. Still want Geno though.

It was absolutely hype and reignited my interest in Smash. I didn't buy the second pass because I was burnt with the DLC and couldn't think of no one I could want but jesus fuck Sephiroth is just too much to resist.

It's one of the most iconic villains in vidya and the music he brings is amazing. Totally fine by me.

Absolutely fucking awful pick and I refuse to believe it's true.
Other, better final fantasy games fucking exist with characters to be taken from rather than another fucking anime swordsman.

GOD there are so much better final fantasy characters and they keep choosing the edgy and empty of all

It's about as good as it could possibly be. Steve is already a good enough representative for zoomer gaming so we really don't need any more and if they wanted to use a classic character that could build hype Sephirtoth is a good choice. I still want Geno or for them to get a really old school gaming mascot or Nintendo property because there really is no one else I can think of that would be good.

Just waiting for bayo to feminize him.

Best addition in this Fighter Pass.

another FUCKING anime sword character. jesus FUCKING CHRIST. im done. never playing smash again

Anime swordsman with comeback mechanic and down b counter bravo

Terrible addition and his moveset seems lazy.
Why the fuck does he have a counter? It's shamelessly recycling an existing move to save time/money. And they expect people to pay money for this.

Was who I wanted? No...
BUT FUCK IT, WE GOT FUCKING SEPHIROTH INSTEAD!
THIS is a wonderful addition

I wasn’t big on any smash pass guy until this. I always thought Sephiroth could be cool and I’d maybe main him. I’m most excited to try him. Couldn’t have cared less about Min Min, Banjo, all of them.

At least is not Fortnite shit/10

Pretty boring anime swordsman

Scintilla is an actual move Sephiroth uses though

Cool addition. Not an FF guy myself but better than Fortnite or more FE shit.
Unfortunately another anime sword guy but he gets a pass in my book

Shill pick

>Why the fuck does he have a counter?
zoom zoom

Cringe choice. We already have plenty of anime swordsman and we already have a character from FF7. At least include a FF character from a different game

Great pick, looks generic to play.

Also fuck fuck FUCK the Arsene One Wing

One more character and the boyband is complete.

He was made to make money

You know he's gonna be broken as fuck

There's almost no threads about him compared to the last 3 reveals. I think this was the final blow.

anyone who thinks sephiroth is a bad choice is a zoomer or a retard
one could argue that sephiroth is more popular than cloud

good pick. more villains is always a good thing and sephiroth is based

Sephiroth looks like an ACTUAL anime swordsman. The Fire Emblem reps and the DQ Hero all look too cartoony.

Why did Cloud all him "Sephi Ross" ?

Absolutely chad pick. Well done, Sakurai. I will now buy Fighters Pass Vol. 2..

DQ sure, but the Swordies look pretty damn similar to Sephiroth

eggman would be based. also why isn't there a second sonic character yet?

They actually added Sephiroth from kingdom hearts to smash bros?

FE wasn't anime enough

trash but better than fortshit lol

People are gonna complain about "another anime sword wielder", but I would like to see his move set.

I was thinking it was going to be Crash.

>another sword
at least its not from FE

>one could argue that sephiroth is more popular than cloud
yeah he's one of the most iconic videogame villains. great pick. we don't get a lot of villains so he gets a pass on the anime swordsman thing

Never ever Sonic autist

Is not someone I wanted but thanks fuck is not Fortnite shit.

Dont care about him or his home franchise, but I don´t mind him, I don´t think I will buy him anyway.

>Better than Byleth?
No, Byleth is more unique than what we saw of Sephiroth in the trailer

>Worse than Jonesy
Hell no, the only thing that could be worse than Jonesy would be something like the Freddy bear.

It's way better than fucking Jonesy. I don't have any stake in FFVII but I'd be crazy to not admit to his stupid popularity, and he's a villain character, so you know what, I give this a pass.

I asked my uncle in Japan to have a chat with Samurai, a good friend of his, about this. He tried his best but he had to make some compromises to fit Mashpotato's vision. Here's your new Sonic character, bro.

Best additon of the pass, but still not impressive honestly. If he is nerfed and does little generic sword pokes to keep away instead cuhrazy sword slashes then sakurai fucked up again. Using a joker mechanic too, nice reuse... maybe his crazy shit is locked behind that but I really doubt it.

>NO TOOBIE
FUCK AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

at least the Freddy bear comes from a franchise that has even the tiniest sliver of heart to it and like, actual characters

He got in so Final Fantasy got proper respect because Cloud got cucked with a garbage trailer back in Smash 4

This felt so fucking good to watch

honestly i had no expectations i just wanted to make jonesy spamming niggers seethe and this is way better than anything i could've asked for. sora would've owned but sephiroth still rules. hopefully now we get more FF music

they could have added the most iconic FF character

>It's way better than fucking Jonesy
not really, I hate fortnite but a gun character would've been much better than yet another anime swordman with counter

yeah its a little surprising SE wanted to go with another FF pick instead of bringing more attention to based automata

Okay but why did Cloud change his sword and update his final smash.
There's more to this

Also
>Square gets 3 reps

Very boring.

>DUDE THIS ANIME SWORDSMAN IS TOTALLY OKAY THOUGH

>another anime swordfighter
I fucking hate people who think who the character is matters more than their moveset and gameplay. He add nothing to the game except fanservice for FF7 fans

Remember when Vergeben said he heard Sephiroth but assumed it was leakbait? Yeah, I'm thinking Ryu Hayabusa is in...

its a great addition, but honestly who still plays smash?

I was doing dishes and I couldnt see my monitors. Goddamn I heard that music though.

Fuck im hyped.

best dlc yet.

QUICK, POST YOUR NEXT PREDICTIONS

> Bill Rizer/Lance Bean
>Yagami Light
>D.B. Cooper

Lets face it user, it will never happen

This would have been so much better

So we are safe of another "DQ faggot and Banjo" situation?

name your final fantasy pick and let us laugh at you

imagine being someone that goes "ANIME SWORDSMAN" unironically

The dust doesn't settle until smash direct next week

>Bill Rizer
Unironically pretty based choice. I'm honestly shocked that Contra, as big it was for the system at the time, got no love.

Or they care about gameplay over fanservice and didn't want another fucking anime swordfighter with a down special counter

its gonna be the year 2040 and Geno will still be the most requested smash character
