Flare is Sephiroth's neutral special move. In a similar manner to Thunder and Frizz, it can be charged up to Megaflare and then Gigaflare before being released.
Overview
Flare is a simple protectile, a red fireball that travels horizontally and explodes upon hitting an opponent or the stage. Charging the move for a short time causes it to become Megaflare, which turns blue and deals more damage, but does not travel as far. Charging even further causes the move to become Gigaflare, a larger and even more powerful attack, though significantly shorter-ranged. The move can be cancelled with the shield button, but this simply stops the move; the charge cannot be stored for later.

Hold the button down to charge; release to launch a fireball. Charging longer reduces the range but increases the explosion size. |
