Supernova is Sephiroth's Final Smash.

Overview

Sephiroth swings his sword forward, catching up to three opponents. A cutscene initiates in which he transforms into Safer Sephiroth, followed by summoning a meteor that passes through a planet and into a star, causing the star to explode and destroy an Earth-like planet. The trapped opponents are then launched.

The move has a random effect on each opponent it launches. In addition to dealing a total of 32% damage, each opponent:

  • May simply be launched with no additional effect.
  • May be put asleep.
  • May gain a flower.
  • May be mushroomized.
  • May enter the shield break state. They are not simply stunned; they go through the full shield jump process. As a result, Jigglypuff is blasted upwards as is typical for its shieldbreak.

Instructional Quotes

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Move List Sephiroth (SSBU) Swing the sword forward in a wide range. If it hits an opponent, Safer Sephiroth will appear and deal massive damage with a supernova explosion that can also sometimes inflict status effects. The first swing can hit up to three opponents.

Origin

"Super Nova" is one of Sephiroth's attacks in the final battle against him in Final Fantasy VII. It is an attack that involves summoning a meteor from outside the galaxy that destroys several real-world planets on its way to colliding with the Sun and causing it to explode, destroying more planets and ultimately dealing exceedingly high damage to all party members (though in the international version it cannot kill, as it deals damage equal to 15/16ths of current HP). The move takes two full minutes to execute and can inflict several status effects.
