Scintilla is Sephiroth's down special move. It is a counterattack that can also act as a standard move.
Overview
Sephiroth creates a barrier of cyan hexagons in a "honeycomb" pattern in front of himself, which bursts into a cloud of damaging sparkles a second later. This separates it from most traditional counterattacks, as the attack is triggered even if Sephiroth is not attacked, in effect making it similar to Focus Attack. If the barrier is not hit, the move strikes at minimum power. The move also cannot counter attacks that deal more than a certain amount of damage; the barrier instead breaks, though Sephiroth will not take damage unless it is a multi-hit move. He is also vulnerable from behind, and the counterattack itself is counted as a projectile, so there is risk of it being absorbed or reflected back.
