I sure can't wait for 2 more ****ing songs and 0 spirits, with the Final Fantasy Series not even being called The Final Fantasy Series, just Final Fantasy VII, because Square are such tight-ass pricks that they have to minimize the value added for all their characters. Sure do ****ing love that they couldn't even have the common decency to put in a character from a different Final Fantasy game, much less not have a 3rd party series overstay its welcome at all.

Actually I can wait, because I'm not buying this garbage.

Kinda looks like it at first glance, given he just got Omnislash Mk. 5. That said, there's a chance that it might not happen and he'll remain relatively unchanged

Still, Sephiroth is someone who I'll welcome with open arms. Even if he winds up as a horrible matchup for Cloud.

Lets see how he plays in the Sakurai Presents. First impressions though: Looks very much like a bait-and-punish swordie who wants to control space, set up stuff and convert off of mistakes. His primary weakness might be that his sword attacks are kinda slow on the recovery, but it's kinda expected with Masamune being absurdly long.

His Advent Children Omnislash, also in Dissidia as a HP Attack. Might be a cosmetic change for Cloud, but we'll see once the Sakurai Presents and patch hits.

Hyped for a third FF song you guys!

Always. I've been maining Cloud since Day 1 of Ultimate, so I've been jamming to the same two songs for two years. Finally getting a JENOVA stage is neat too.

Ergo, if Sephiroth comes with 7 songs I'll be able to jam for another 7 years. :4pacman:

Could be that Cloud uses Omnislash lv 5 exclusively on Sephiroth.

I'm so conflicted

I really, really love FFVII, the game that kickstarted my love for RPGs, this is like a childhood dream come true for me.

But the "Remake" disappointed me, I've expressed before I'm not a fan of how Sephiroth's character has been handled over the years and that trailer was chock full of Advent Children references. What a strange time for me to finally get what I wanted.

BUT, his stage is the planet's core, he's seen using spells (was that a Fire3 I saw?), I saw the Highwind, Meteor, Safer Sephiroth... all cool references to the original.

Overall I'm pleased, I really hope his moveset contains some Jenova influence but it probably won't.

Well, Sephiroth's coming this month, but bugger all if we know when.


Regardless, 3 reveals next month with a 2-3~ month dev cycle will have us done probably around September-October if I had to guess.

bet you five dollars you never watched the trailer in its entirety if you said sephiroth isnt unique

i did. of course I did. but that doesn't excuse a lame pick.
it looks like ridley's tail mechanics mixed with generic swordfighter moves.
I'm tired of this hoes mad movement of not being able to criticize a lame pick, I paid for it

and this is frickin lame

Bro did you not watch the trailer? How is Sephiroth not unique? I get it, I didn't want Sephiroth either, but I watched the trailer. He in no way shape or form plays like any other swordsman. In fact, I'd say he's the coolest looking swordsman yet. This is a JAPANESE game, so of course there's going to be characters with a JAPANESE art style.

This pass has killed fan rules.

Min Min: "A spirit cannot be a character."
Steve: "Has to fit the Smash aesthetic."
Sephiroth: "No unique secondary third party representatives"

I am so for this!
