That’s why Sephiroth has by far the best reveal trailer to date. I mean one shotting the final boss that wiped out 99% of the Smash Roster not counting DLC? That’s how you make an entrance!
I love the idea that Sephiroth isn't even trying to be a villain and trying to destroy the world anymore. He just wants to mess with Cloud and I'm OK with that.
I'm not an FF7 fan, but the second the music kicked in my heart stopped. It's like gamers are just trained to fear that song, that's how iconic and terrifying Sephiroth is
I can confirm this. I have not played FF7 all the way through, but when I heard the song I was like “have I heard this before? I know I’ve heard it somewhere.” And then friggin Sephiroth shows up and I start screaming!
I remember getting the movie when it first came out on dvd and I was working at Walmart at the time. Got off at 1130 that night bought the movie and went home and watched it and had to be back at work at 6am the next day. Completely worth it lol
Imagine if the presentation is just Sakurai watching the entirety of Advent Children, pausing the movie at times to add his own commentary. And honestly I'd be down for that.

I'm in a similar boat. The original FF7 was my introduction to the series (when a friend of mine brought the game over to my house once, and from that point on, I was hooked), and while FF7 isn't my favorite FF game from that era (that distinction actually goes to FF8), it's still one of the most prized games in my personal library. Though my favorite FF game of all time has to be the MMO, FF XIV both because it's a great game in it's own right, and it also has tons of fan-service for veterans of the franchise. Including cameos of certain major characters and villains from other FF games.
@@gamester512 I keep talking with my friends about what if they had Sephiroth or JECHT as raids. I don't play, coz I got a lemon laptop, but I've seen enough streams to know all the references, even the ones they don't. Sephiroth's very unlikely now due to the Remake and Smash, but Jecht is still very possible. Imagine, a raid set to Otherworld.
IX is easily my best, and VI does have the better emotional narrative between its cast, but I CAN'T NOT say VII is my favorite. Yes, my favorite even if I think IX is my best. It may seem overhyped, and Square certainly did not help with that because of the Compilation oversaturating it, but it otherwise rightfully deserves its fame. Cloud and Sephiroth deserve to be the leading representatives for the franchise, like it or not. And it's not as if it's not a well-written story. Honestly, thanks to things Team Four Star's FFVII Machinabridged, the Remake, and now Smash, I've found new things about the writing that make me appreciate the story more, such as the absolute necessity of Zack and Aerith dying, that Sephiroth's god complex is a dark exaggeration of Cloud's self-projected image of being a badass, and that maybe it's more prudent to consider Sephiroth and Jenova as one character and entity after Nibelheim.
Max: *OH MY GOD THIS IS FROM ADVENT CHILDREN!!* Chat: Is Advent Children good? Max: that’s a big question. Edit: holy crap! Thanks for all the likes! I also high key love Advent Children but there’s obviously a lot of nostalgia involved.
This reminds me this one time I was explaining to my sister how Kingdom Hearts was a crossover with Disney and Final Fantasy and she then told me she didn't know anything about FF, the only characters she knew was Cloud and Sephiroth

@@thegoodmudkip3652 spoilers ahead Note:this is my heavily biased opinion some of my info is out of place so watch the ending yourself form your own thoughts on the matter if you don’t mind being spoiled and don’t want to read a guys salty opinion cause people jumped the gun and created their own head canon Short version: time travel shenanigans sparks debate on whether Zack survives or not which brings up whether aerith dies or not also vague info from a booklet does not confirm whether a character dies or not Long version: They did some fucky shit at the end of part 1 in my opinion was to both to have an excuse to have a final boss and to tease what’s going to happen in the next part But basically we must change the future type shiz and some characters didn’t die when in a novel it was confirmed they were but the devs if I remember correctly said they extended ff7 content is not canon but they did use aspects from it They then show zack carrying cloud scene which I assume is a mix of crisis core and the original scene in ff7 then timey wimey explosion happens flyer or chip bag of a mascot character comes by but le gasp it’s changed there must timey wimey shenanigans afoot oh wait it says original on it so it’s more a comparison of zack and cloud he then picks cloud back up rain happens meaningful moment happens as it shows zack crossing paths with Aerith in a emotional sense the debate is whether zack dies or lives in the remake.
I thought this was obvious considering the fact that the entire remake plotline is about changing the future and character's fates. I mean they literally kill fate and they see a snippet of Aerith's death.
I remember watching Advent Children in a packed dorm room and when Sephiroth showed up the atmosphere in the room just shifted. Complete silence/tension was amazing. The fight was also just shock and excitement and there was an hour of literal drunken discussion. It was magical.
I remember that movie being shown in one of my high school classes(nothing better to do) and it was full of people who had no idea about Sephiroth but when he stepped on the scene everyone knew something special was happening lol
@waluigiwithachainsaw for the amount you pay for tv bill I'll take that 10 dollar bill every time you cant really complain about it if you can eat at a fast food joint you can afford RUclips and avoid the annoying ads it's well worth it Plus I use it for audiobooks when I work so being able to turn my phone off is worth as well
@@catac1ysm13 Yeah no don't pay RUclips for their scummy tactics. Just get adblockers. It's free and easier to do and fuck RUclips's scummy business practices.
Just a quick clarification: That “curse” attack is a move Bizarro Sephiroth does called Heartless Angel that reduces HP to 1. It’s funny because it casted it on Dark Pit.
Safer Sephiroth uses it, not Bizarro Sephiroth. Although I wish his Bizarro form got a little bit more representation. It's like people forgot it ever existed.
@AT Productions no it isn’t. He had that attack in the vanilla version released in 1997. Just because it has “Heartless” in the name doesn’t mean it comes from KH.
Pretty sure that isn't Heartless Angel, I think it might be Shadowflare, like, he has a move that summons orbs of dark flame that chase the target in Dissidia and KH2, and its not Heartless Angel
Sakurai pulled no punches. I’m sure their team knew they had to do justice to seph and they absolutely nailed it. I was debating if the second fighter was worth it but seph alone makes it so.
I'll never forget the words he said when he saw Sephiroth. Honestly, can't wait to play as Sephiroth and use one-winged Angel fighting Minecraft Steve.
I can just hear the character screen now. Announcer {Upbeat tone}: *Isabelle* Announcer {Serious tone}: *Sephiroth* It's just so surreal and I. Am. Here. For. That.
Holy shit. Didn't expect to see you here DD. Just strolling through the comments and boom, there you are. Nice to see you man! Love the content, and have plenty of good smash matches.
Funny enough, Ganondorf, Bowser, and Sephiroth have a thing for having fire surrounding them. - Ganondorf rides his horse while in fire in Young Link's nightmare - Bowser has himself surrounded by fire in smash bros melee intro - and of course Sephiroth with that awesome shot while in the fire
The whole "anime swordsman" complaint is so stupid to me. Japanese RPGs usually have an "anime" art style because they're, y'know, Japanese. RPG protagonists the vast majority of the time are swordsmen, and would you look at that, almost all of Smash's swordsmen are main characters from RPGs. Besides, it's not like there aren't *60* other characters to pick who don't use a sword.
You are a gentleman and a scholar. Thank you for having intelligence. The world needs more of you. There are 78 characters in the game. 20 of them are swordsmen. That doesn't even make up a third of the roster and yet there are "too many anime swordfigthers". Nintento is a Japanese company. Super Smash bros. is a Japanese game lol. Oh wow what's this? NINETY PERCENT OF THE ROSTER ARE CHARACTERS THAT WERE DEVELOPED IN JAPAN?! LOL. Crazy.. I know...
@@doublex85 Is it really, though? There's eight Fire Emblem characters. Out of *78* playable characters. There's 11 Mario characters if you count DK and Wario, 10 playable Pokemon, yet I've never heard anybody say there's too many Pokemon and people keep asking for Waluigi for bizarre reason. I could, maybe, understand the sentiment if all the Fire Emblem characters played really similar to each other but only three of them do, which by the way, is the same number of Links that are in the game.
TFS hellsing: Characters seeing Galeem get one tapped by a man with an angel wing: "Hooray! We're saved by an Angel!" *Cloud is suddenly visibly angry, hard rock orchestra boss music with Latin lyrics plays and the sky becomes a hellscape of darkness* Characters in fear:"oh god we were saved by an angel"
Sephiroth is one of my favourite video game characters. The fact he invokes this reaction from players old and new really says something about his legacy and that of FFVII. Cannot wait to play him in Smash.
@@nathanalexandre9043 Well KH1 Sephiroth was much harder than KH2 as I believe in the OG Japanese he was the only secret boss (they added more in the international and Final Mix releases)
@AT Productions Specifically Greninja and not Sheik, because of their big ol’ Shuriken weapon! Bonus: Yuffie’s from Wutai, associated with Leviathan the WATER deity! 🤯
I enjoy all these folks saying, "It's like Dissidia!" as if Kingdom Hearts Sephiroth didn't exist first and was where Dissidia pulled some moves from. 12-year-old me screamed about "Descend Heartless Angel" and 29-year-old me screamed when she saw the words "Heartless Angel" in the Remake.
@@goldenphoenixnaruto actually heartless angel originated from FF6, and became a signature move in FF7 for Sephiroth. After that came Kingdom Hearts, and then Dissidia
From what I’ve seen, all of the players that go “Rah Too Many Sword Fighters!” are letting Sephiroth be ok with no complaints about it because it’s freakin’ Sephiroth.
Not every single dlc has to be some crazy ass third party character. I don't think people realize the work that goes into getting one of these characters. They got too spoiled by Sakurai.
I mean "hes the original anime swordsman" doesnt even hold water because that's Hero. Also Cloud. Also Marth. But the wildness of the pick is still kinda crazy here.
I like to imagine while Seph and Cloud are having that intense clash staredown Mario's awkwardly dangling from the end of the sword like "So, do you-a two...know each-a other?"

This was a suprise hit for Max, because he actually realizes that not many people that are casuals watched advent children. Only the more dedicated fans did.
I became a fan because of max over the years of him gushing over the remake. I loved the game but I tried to watch AC for the first time today.... I couldn't get past 30 minutes holy crap LOL
@@JuanFlores-gs7uu Yes. And as Max said, while the movie's story isn't great, the fight scenes are very good. Though, to be fair to Advent Children, it was only the second time someone had ever tried to make an actual Final Fantasy movie (the first time being Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within). And you have to respect the people behind the movies for having the guts to actually try putting Final Fantasy into a movie format. I've seen both movies (Spirits Within has no connection to FF7 though, IIRC), and while neither is amazing, they can still be enjoyable.
I even feel some of the other characters that are really focused on in the CG trailer are linked to Sephiroth in some way. There's Zelda representing Aerith, Mewtwo is an edgy lab experiment like Seph, Pit and Galeem represent the angel theme, Bayonetta fights angels in her game. I just feel most of the focused side characters are chosen for a reason. More obscure/out there references: Greninja is a ninja like Yuffie, Banjo and Kazooie are two in one like Cait+Mog. I could go on but that's what I think at least.
If you beat Classic Mode with Cloud within a certain amount of time, Sephiroth one shots the standard boss and becomes the true final fight for Cloud... Just wishful thinking
Reminds me of how if you do well in the arcade mode of Super Street Fighter II Turbo (onwards), instead of fighting M. Bison as usual, a certain *Raging Demon* comes along and annihilates the tyrant. Then, you have to fight *him* instead......
@@tmcttf8087 Same thing happens in Melee and forward, if you do good enough in Classic mode you'll get extra bosses, and in Melee Adventure more you get to fight Giga Bowser if you do good enough and fast enough, so Cloud getting Sephiroth isn't impossible

Same, FF7 is like a whole different world of happiness for me
Final Fantasy 7 in my opinion is the greatest game of all time. Because of this I’ll be playing smash ultimate.
@@gamester512 I keep talking with my friends about what if they had Sephiroth or JECHT as raids. I don't play, coz I got a lemon laptop, but I've seen enough streams to know all the references, even the ones they don't.
Sephiroth's very unlikely now due to the Remake and Smash, but Jecht is still very possible.
Imagine, a raid set to Otherworld.
IX is easily my best, and VI does have the better emotional narrative between its cast, but I CAN'T NOT say VII is my favorite. Yes, my favorite even if I think IX is my best.
It may seem overhyped, and Square certainly did not help with that because of the Compilation oversaturating it, but it otherwise rightfully deserves its fame. Cloud and Sephiroth deserve to be the leading representatives for the franchise, like it or not. And it's not as if it's not a well-written story.
Honestly, thanks to things Team Four Star's FFVII Machinabridged, the Remake, and now Smash, I've found new things about the writing that make me appreciate the story more, such as the absolute necessity of Zack and Aerith dying, that Sephiroth's god complex is a dark exaggeration of Cloud's self-projected image of being a badass, and that maybe it's more prudent to consider Sephiroth and Jenova as one character and entity after Nibelheim.
Announcer: "Here is yo-"
Sephiroth: "Imma jus' burn the victory screen now, thanks..."
What if... the tifa and barret mii costume are the old blocky style of ff7
Haven’t seen the full video yet but max said that during the actual stream. God that would be amazing
Blocky Tifa, Aerith, and Barret for each of the miis.
That would be.....so cool! Reminds me of Akira's Mii Costume......

@@thegoodmudkip3652 spoilers ahead
Note:this is my heavily biased opinion some of my info is out of place so watch the ending yourself form your own thoughts on the matter if you don’t mind being spoiled and don’t want to read a guys salty opinion cause people jumped the gun and created their own head canon
Short version: time travel shenanigans sparks debate on whether Zack survives or not which brings up whether aerith dies or not also vague info from a booklet does not confirm whether a character dies or not
Long version: They did some fucky shit at the end of part 1 in my opinion was to both to have an excuse to have a final boss and to tease what’s going to happen in the next part
But basically we must change the future type shiz and some characters didn’t die when in a novel it was confirmed they were but the devs if I remember correctly said they extended ff7 content is not canon but they did use aspects from it
They then show zack carrying cloud scene which I assume is a mix of crisis core and the original scene in ff7 then timey wimey explosion happens flyer or chip bag of a mascot character comes by but le gasp it’s changed there must timey wimey shenanigans afoot oh wait it says original on it so it’s more a comparison of zack and cloud he then picks cloud back up rain happens meaningful moment happens as it shows zack crossing paths with Aerith in a emotional sense the debate is whether zack dies or lives in the remake.
I thought this was obvious considering the fact that the entire remake plotline is about changing the future and character's fates. I mean they literally kill fate and they see a snippet of Aerith's death.
Well, you left out piece of what he said, he added a very clear "Right?".
It was sarcasm.
Well you certainly did
I remember watching Advent Children in a packed dorm room and when Sephiroth showed up the atmosphere in the room just shifted. Complete silence/tension was amazing. The fight was also just shock and excitement and there was an hour of literal drunken discussion. It was magical.
Sounds fun......
That’s is really cool! Sounds like a fun time
I remember that movie being shown in one of my high school classes(nothing better to do) and it was full of people who had no idea about Sephiroth but when he stepped on the scene everyone knew something special was happening lol

This aged so damn well.
Just a quick clarification:
That “curse” attack is a move Bizarro Sephiroth does called Heartless Angel that reduces HP to 1. It’s funny because it casted it on Dark Pit.
Safer Sephiroth uses it, not Bizarro Sephiroth. Although I wish his Bizarro form got a little bit more representation. It's like people forgot it ever existed.
@AT Productions no it isn’t. He had that attack in the vanilla version released in 1997. Just because it has “Heartless” in the name doesn’t mean it comes from KH.
Pretty sure that isn't Heartless Angel, I think it might be Shadowflare, like, he has a move that summons orbs of dark flame that chase the target in Dissidia and KH2, and its not Heartless Angel
Its Shadow Flare, with Wall for his counter if I'm going by FF7, with Octoslash and Safer Sephiroth for his Final Smash and iconic Super Nova.

Isabelle, but weaker.
The whole "anime swordsman" complaint is so stupid to me. Japanese RPGs usually have an "anime" art style because they're, y'know, Japanese. RPG protagonists the vast majority of the time are swordsmen, and would you look at that, almost all of Smash's swordsmen are main characters from RPGs. Besides, it's not like there aren't *60* other characters to pick who don't use a sword.
You are a gentleman and a scholar. Thank you for having intelligence. The world needs more of you. There are 78 characters in the game. 20 of them are swordsmen. That doesn't even make up a third of the roster and yet there are "too many anime swordfigthers". Nintento is a Japanese company. Super Smash bros. is a Japanese game lol. Oh wow what's this? NINETY PERCENT OF THE ROSTER ARE CHARACTERS THAT WERE DEVELOPED IN JAPAN?! LOL. Crazy.. I know...
It's an indirect complaint that there's too many Fire Emblem characters. And honestly I think that's fair.
Not to mention two of the most popular request, Dante and Sora, are _anime sword guys_
Despite all the bitching the "archetype" is heavily requested.
@@doublex85 Is it really, though? There's eight Fire Emblem characters. Out of *78* playable characters. There's 11 Mario characters if you count DK and Wario, 10 playable Pokemon, yet I've never heard anybody say there's too many Pokemon and people keep asking for Waluigi for bizarre reason. I could, maybe, understand the sentiment if all the Fire Emblem characters played really similar to each other but only three of them do, which by the way, is the same number of Links that are in the game.
@AT Productions I agree the anime swordsman complaint is dumb but I dont think it has anything to do with "manliness"
