 *Sephiroth's internal codename is "edge".
 *Sephiroth is the second fighter to be revealed at a non-Nintendo event/presentation, the first being {{SSBU|Joker}}. Both of them were revealed at {{iw|wikipedia|The Game Awards}} (Joker in 2018 and Sephiroth in 2020).
-**Unlike Joker's, however, Sephiroth's featured actual gameplay footage, was announced ahead of time, and was a standard world premiere trailer instead of an "intruding" announcement.
 **Oddly, Sephiroth's English trailer shown during The Game Awards is slightly different from the one uploaded subsequently to Nintendo's official channels: the crossover card states ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate × Final Fantasy'' during The Game Awards, whereas in later uploads it displays ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate × Final Fantasy VII'', in line with {{SSB4|Cloud}}'s trailer for ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''.
 *If the [[Sephiroth Challenge]] is counted, Sephiroth has the shortest gap between his reveal and release of any DLC fighter in ''Ultimate'', with only 7 days.

 *According to [[Masahiro Sakurai]], Sephiroth was developed to feel like a [[boss]] character while having boss-like strength for players to enjoy when using him.<ref name=SephBoss>[https://nintendoeverything.com/sakurai-on-implementing-sephiroth-into-smash-bros-ultimate-reveal-trailer-more Sakurai on implementing Sephiroth into Smash Bros. Ultimate, reveal trailer, more]</ref>
 **Sakurai also mentioned that the incorporation of the Masamune and making Sephiroth's attacks easy to use were two problems that occurred during Sephiroth's development.
-*Sephiroth's inclusion makes {{uv|Final Fantasy}} the third and final third-party universe to have more than one fighter in ''Ultimate'', following {{uv|Castlevania}} and {{uv|Street Fighter}}.
-**Additionally, Sephiroth is the only secondary third-party universe fighter to not be an [[Echo Fighter]], due to {{SSBU|Richter}} and {{SSBU|Ken}} being Echo Fighters of {{SSBU|Simon}} and {{SSBU|Ryu}}, respectively.
-***He is also the only one introduced through DLC.
 *When KO'd by reaching 0 HP during his final stock in [[Stamina Mode]], Sephiroth uses one of his heavy knockback voice clips instead of his standard KO voice clip. He shares this trait with {{SSBU|Mario}}, {{SSBU|Dr. Mario}} and all vocal DLC fighters except for Joker, {{SSBU|Banjo & Kazooie}}, and Byleth's Japanese voice.
-*Sephiroth is the first:
-**DLC fighter from a universe that was introduced as DLC in a previous installment.
-**''Ultimate'' fighter to be unlockable through an event before their official release.
-**Fighters Pass fighter whose game of origin was already represented by a fighter (in this case, Cloud). When counting all of ''Ultimate''{{'}}s DLC fighters, he is the second after Piranha Plant.
 *Sephiroth is the second character whose trailer references [[World of Light]], the first being {{SSBU|Hero}}'s.
-**Coincidentally, both are DLC fighters from [[Square Enix]], and both fight opposing forces from the World of Light: Hero fought [[Dharkon]] and its controlled puppet fighters, whereas Sephiroth sliced through [[Galeem]]. Additionally, they each hail from one of the two companies that merged into Square Enix: Sephiroth comes from Squaresoft, and Hero comes from Enix.
 *Sephiroth is one of three characters to fight Master Hand and Crazy Hand on a stage other than {{SSBU|Final Destination}} in Classic Mode, with the others being {{SSBU|Donkey Kong}} and Joker.
 **Sephiroth is the only one of the three who fights both Master Hand and Crazy Hand regardless of intensity level.

 *When fighting both Master Hand and Crazy Hand in Classic Mode, Sephiroth will start on the far left side of the stage instead of at center stage. This also occurs with {{SSBU|Pyra}}, {{SSBU|Mythra}} and {{SSBU|Sora}} in their respective Classic Mode routes.
 *Sephiroth is the only DLC character to have a unique quote when winning against certain characters. He is also the second third-party character with this distinction, following Simon.
-**Sephiroth, {{SSBU|Wolf}} and {{SSBU|Chrom}} are also the only fighters whose unique victory dialogue can be used during any of their three victory poses.
 *Sephiroth, {{SSBU|Meta Knight}}, {{SSBU|Inkling}}, Hero, Banjo & Kazooie, Pyra, Mythra, and Sora are the only fighters who use their walking animation when navigating through the map in [[World of Light]].
 *Sephiroth's victory screens load much faster than other characters, likely due to the fiery background being pre-rendered instead of a modeled setting.
-*Sephiroth is one of only five characters to predominantly use his left hand to wield his weapon, sharing this trait with {{SSBU|Young Link}}, {{SSBU|Toon Link}}, the {{SSBU|Ice Climbers}}, and {{SSBU|Rosalina & Luma}}.
 *Sephiroth is one of three fighters who are not featured in any Spirit Battles whatsoever, with the other two being {{SSBU|Piranha Plant}} and {{SSBU|Terry}}. This makes him the only fighter in Fighters Pass Volume 2 not to be in a Spirit Battle.
-*With a [[weight]] value of 79, Sephiroth is the lightest [[newcomer]] in ''Ultimate'', DLC or otherwise.
