I love how the only ones to react to Galeem being cleaved in two were Sonic, Inkling, Banjo & Kazooie. They had no idea who Sephiroth was and already he put on an impressive display of strength for them.
Some people did not understand the situation. Galeem was a multiversal entity that earlier in the game's initial cinematics, spewed its light throughout that space, consuming all the smashers and other large entities in the multiverse, turning them into spirits. Galeem was cut in half as if it were nothing. The One-Winged Angel, showed up without any invitation and simply took out the strongest boss in the game, and again. Without any invitation. *Sephiroth went far beyond any other smasher in this giant crossover. His reveal was Splendid, Impactful, Ascending, Perfect and Smashing.*
That just shows how powerful Sephiroth is he is the new galeem of smash bros Sephiroth doesn't need a invitation Cloud was there that was his invitation
@@SamuelJohnsonYT Exactly my dear man! Sephiroth has shown himself to be someone who has surpassed every character in this world. His Determination and Perseverance exceeded all possible limits, so much so that he simply returned from the Dark Lifestream only to torment his rival, Cloud. Of which it is known that he is the only one, who can deliver him an intense and absolute battle, and also the ONLY one who can defeat him.
THIS was the best trailer for Smash. Period. Nobody asked for this. Nobody knew this was coming. Then came in "Advent: One-Winged Angel" and the Internet LOST IT.
Sakurai should Honestly make a Magic Mii fighter user & in general add more melee (fists) or magic characters like idk Goku for example lol, but fr how Unique would that be? Edit: y'all I know Goku won't make it, I'm just saying magic/More Melee users should be represented. I'm tired of Sword & Gun users, like bruh we need someone/something completely unique. From the DLC I loved Piranha plant, Min min, Joker, Steve, Terry and Banjo. The others were meh tbh.
@@a.x.x8184 Agreed! I really like magic powers and Smash lacks Magic fighters. Robin uses their sworda for most of their attacks, and Zelda uses the same magic for 80% os her moveset, only changing for her specials and aerials. A fully magic user, that uses a lot of different spells instead of the same one for most of their attacks would be so cool!
I'm only just now getting into FF, but I have to say even going back and watching this I'm still in awe! I bet it was nuts for long time fans when it first dropped!
New headcanon: Sephiroth invading countless settings looking for Cloud. He just waltzes into Cartoon Network shows, Disney Channel shows, Nickelodeon shows, shonen anime, isekai anime, and other video games, asking characters there if they've seen Cloud.
This trailer hit so hard because of several factors. He’s THE poster boy of villains, he’s THE original Anime Sword Fighter, his theme is upon the most widely known just in music, not even just as a theme. The most impressive of all was that Nintendo kept it under wraps so incredibly well. No one knew! Not a single leak, not even a rumor. No one asked for Sephiroth, but dude was EASILY the one people were most readily able to accept. He’s super popular but isn’t overbearing like Minecraft Steve or Sora (love both of them, but be honest, they’re suffocating with how much they were talked about prior, during, and post reveal), and his significance helped welcome him (or I guess… let him in?) to the universe of Smash. Few asked, but no one will argue that his legacy is more than deserving of earning a spot in THE ultimate crossover game. Ladies and Gentleman… Sephiroth.
Yeah I agree he left a legacy for other villains to follow and he is definitely THE Anime Sword fighter and he is probably the reason why other JRPG characters fight with swords in their games
I don't believe it was actually intended to be his NAME tho. Rather than his name, Sephiroth is an accurate depiction of what he is. In Latin, the name roughly translates to "Anger" and is a derivative of Sephira. Sephira is "each of the ten attributes or emanations surrounding the Infinite and by means of which it relates to the finite. They are represented as spheres on the Tree of Life." His name literally means something akin to an angel of anger or hatred, one that is both born of life, and heralds death. This remains true even after he dies as he becomes a direct part of the life stream in FFVII. The song seems like it's told from Tifa's pov, and is related to the event of him burning down Nibleheim. From Tifa's pov, he was a heartless angel(not a good angel either, a biblical one) that brought about the death of almost everyone in Nibleheim. So Sephiroth in the context of the song, is what she calls him as sort of a title befitting a personal grudge towards him based on that event. Pretty much she's saying that he's cruel. He just happens to also be named Sephiroth, probably because he's the birth son of an alien that came by to destroy the planet this one time. But that much is irrelevant here
I like how this is in direct contrast to the hero trailer. In hero's he's having a bit a of trouble fighting darkhon and gets saved by his buds. Sephiroth however goes straight for the kill and in one slice cuts through galeem like butter, no hesitation or struggle what so ever
I love how this almost feels like a story expansion for FF7 just due to how flabbergasted Cloud is to see him show up yet again and the exchange they have at the end of the trailer.
This will forever be the coolest smash ultimate reveal. I love Steve and Soras reveals but that’s mainly coz I love the characters. Sephiroth I didn’t have much attachment to, but the way he appeared and destroyed everyone with that music in the background was incredible
I didn't really care about Steve and Sora's inclusion in smash probably because I have never played Kingdom Hearts and Minecraft but Sephiroth's inclusion got me hyped I loved the original FINAL FANTASY 7 I didn't even know Sephiroth was even going to be in this game he is the reason why I even got a Switch in the first place
How about you talk for yourself? I'm not playing a FF character even though I already paid for him, let alone dropping the most unique character in the game in his favor lmao
*One-Winged Angel hits* Galeem: "Cool, Sakurai updated my boss music." Smash Roster: "This is a pretty neat jam, but we're still going to win." Cloud: "No. No no no. No-" *Sephiroth one-shots Galeem* Cloud: "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU"
Okay, is nobody gonna mention how Mario gets yeeted off Sephiroth's sword after he and cloud clash meaning he was still on the sword when Cloud attacked?
I like to think that every character knows everyone’s theme in their universe, which would explain why Cloud identifies Sephiroth with almost no trouble, despite him being a dot.
I love how he didn’t even get an invitation card. He just showed up.
Cloud's in Smash, that's how he got in.
Maybe he's a story expansion as well as a new character. Could be why he kills the end boss and then reveals his final form at the end of the trailer.
@@456lmao that would be fucking amazing ngl but it's not gonna happen with just some character they added thru dlc it would be with it's own season pass

Man's wild. Didn't even get an invitation. Straight up showed up.
Sephiroth with sass: oh cloud, it seems they forgot my invitation when they brought you along. I hope I’m not late, Aerith wanted me to say hi.
He literally just got in Smash only to anger Cloud
And before he even showed up he killed Galeem in one strike.
I didn't even get to finish playing through Final Fantasy VII (classic) and this gave me chills.
Holy sht that’s true
If only Waluigi had the guts to do the same thing, eh?
One of the most established laws of the universe:
Wherever Cloud goes, eventually Sephiroth will follow
It's inevitable
They can't have a world without each other
Poor Cloud
Post traumatic sepirith disorder
It’s just like Sephiroth says. He will never be a memory, he will always be the nightmare that follows Cloud.
and then wherever Sephiroth is, Sora will invariable show up to make Sephiroth miserable lol
You know what I just realized? Cloud didn't see Sephiroth, like the rest of us he just heard the theme song and knew what was coming...

@Manuel Niño considering how much Nomura and Sakurai like working together, it's not impossible.
Some people did not understand the situation.
Galeem was a multiversal entity that earlier in the game's initial cinematics, spewed its light throughout that space, consuming all the smashers and other large entities in the multiverse, turning them into spirits.
Galeem was cut in half as if it were nothing.
The One-Winged Angel, showed up without any invitation and simply took out the strongest boss in the game, and again. Without any invitation.
*Sephiroth went far beyond any other smasher in this giant crossover. His reveal was Splendid, Impactful, Ascending, Perfect and Smashing.*
That just shows how powerful Sephiroth is he is the new galeem of smash bros Sephiroth doesn't need a invitation Cloud was there that was his invitation
@@SamuelJohnsonYT Exactly my dear man! Sephiroth has shown himself to be someone who has surpassed every character in this world.
His Determination and Perseverance exceeded all possible limits, so much so that he simply returned from the Dark Lifestream only to torment his rival, Cloud.
Of which it is known that he is the only one, who can deliver him an intense and absolute battle, and also the ONLY one who can defeat him.

Sakurai should Honestly make a Magic Mii fighter user & in general add more melee (fists) or magic characters like idk Goku for example lol, but fr how Unique would that be?
Edit: y'all I know Goku won't make it, I'm just saying magic/More Melee users should be represented. I'm tired of Sword & Gun users, like bruh we need someone/something completely unique.
From the DLC I loved Piranha plant, Min min, Joker, Steve, Terry and Banjo. The others were meh tbh.
@@a.x.x8184 Agreed! I really like magic powers and Smash lacks Magic fighters. Robin uses their sworda for most of their attacks, and Zelda uses the same magic for 80% os her moveset, only changing for her specials and aerials. A fully magic user, that uses a lot of different spells instead of the same one for most of their attacks would be so cool!

@@hamburgerdog25 Yeth
This trailer hit so hard because of several factors. He’s THE poster boy of villains, he’s THE original Anime Sword Fighter, his theme is upon the most widely known just in music, not even just as a theme. The most impressive of all was that Nintendo kept it under wraps so incredibly well. No one knew! Not a single leak, not even a rumor. No one asked for Sephiroth, but dude was EASILY the one people were most readily able to accept. He’s super popular but isn’t overbearing like Minecraft Steve or Sora (love both of them, but be honest, they’re suffocating with how much they were talked about prior, during, and post reveal), and his significance helped welcome him (or I guess… let him in?) to the universe of Smash. Few asked, but no one will argue that his legacy is more than deserving of earning a spot in THE ultimate crossover game. Ladies and Gentleman… Sephiroth.
Yeah I agree he left a legacy for other villains to follow and he is definitely THE Anime Sword fighter and he is probably the reason why other JRPG characters fight with swords in their games
I like how his trailer is literally Advent Children, scene for scene, but Sephiroth is destroying the Smash Bros roster in his spare time
Except for Mario - Sephi must’ve really had fun playing 64 in his spare time.
Sephiroth: *Kills Galeem*
Everyone: "Hurray, it's Sephiroth!"

Yes !!! Supernova. If so, you will have time to go make a pizza, run to the can, etc.
This is the epitome of “why do I hear boss music”
Yes!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You're damn right it is. LOL
You know you’re a badass when you’re theme song literally chants your very name
I don't believe it was actually intended to be his NAME tho. Rather than his name, Sephiroth is an accurate depiction of what he is.
In Latin, the name roughly translates to "Anger" and is a derivative of Sephira. Sephira is "each of the ten attributes or emanations surrounding the Infinite and by means of which it relates to the finite. They are represented as spheres on the Tree of Life."
His name literally means something akin to an angel of anger or hatred, one that is both born of life, and heralds death. This remains true even after he dies as he becomes a direct part of the life stream in FFVII.
The song seems like it's told from Tifa's pov, and is related to the event of him burning down Nibleheim. From Tifa's pov, he was a heartless angel(not a good angel either, a biblical one) that brought about the death of almost everyone in Nibleheim. So Sephiroth in the context of the song, is what she calls him as sort of a title befitting a personal grudge towards him based on that event. Pretty much she's saying that he's cruel.
He just happens to also be named Sephiroth, probably because he's the birth son of an alien that came by to destroy the planet this one time. But that much is irrelevant here

I come back to this trailer from time to time and watch it again, just to relive the moment. Absolutely perfect reveal for Sephiroth.
I like how this is in direct contrast to the hero trailer. In hero's he's having a bit a of trouble fighting darkhon and gets saved by his buds. Sephiroth however goes straight for the kill and in one slice cuts through galeem like butter, no hesitation or struggle what so ever
Also notice how he's mostly fighting good guys

I love how this almost feels like a story expansion for FF7 just due to how flabbergasted Cloud is to see him show up yet again and the exchange they have at the end of the trailer.
That exchange is a direct reference, it literally is the end of advent children where Cloud defeats Sephiroth with Omni 5 and they have those lines.

This will forever be the coolest smash ultimate reveal. I love Steve and Soras reveals but that’s mainly coz I love the characters. Sephiroth I didn’t have much attachment to, but the way he appeared and destroyed everyone with that music in the background was incredible
I didn't really care about Steve and Sora's inclusion in smash probably because I have never played Kingdom Hearts and Minecraft but Sephiroth's inclusion got me hyped I loved the original FINAL FANTASY 7 I didn't even know Sephiroth was even going to be in this game he is the reason why I even got a Switch in the first place
