—Introduction Tagline

Sephiroth is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. He was confirmed as a playable character on December 10th, 2020 at the 2020 Game Awards and will be released in December 2020.

Toshiyuki Morikawa reprises his role as Sephiroth in his trailer and at least the Japanese version of Ultimate, though it is currently unknown if he will be voiced in English.

Moveset

Sephiroth's moveset is unknown, but may include a counter (resembling Scintilla in Dissidia), as well as launching fireballs at opponents (resembling Shadow Flare in Dissidia). His final smash may include him transforming into Safer∙Sephiroth (his final boss form) for a large hit, possibly similarly to Giga Mac Punch. He also possesses the ability to summon his wing, although it is unknown how this is accomplished.

  • DLC character from a third-party universe that was DLC in a previous installment.
    • The Fire Emblem universe also shares this trait, and is the only first-party universe to have it.
  • Character from an already-represented third-party universe to not be a clone of another character.
  • Third-party playable antagonist.
  • Sephiroth's trailer is the first where previous Ultimate DLC fighters appear outside of gameplay footage, with the Dragon Quest III Hero and Banjo & Kazooie being present.
• Sephiroth is the second character whose trailer references the World of Light, the first being Hero.
