He was the FIRST person to voice Sephiroth, actually.

Sephiroth is just the coolest. He may be just another anime swordsman, but he will never be a memory

@@dekudude8888 .....

That happens to a man when One Winged Angel starts to bump

@@staticbuzter452 Nah the first thing that came out of my mouth was a primal “Oh my god!”.

In one of his streams, he essentially said that, when he's 100% being real with his surprise, it's almost _instinct_ for him to react with "Fuck you."

No fuckin way.... NO FUCKIN WAY CHILL THE FUCK OUT SAKURAI

If I had a nickel of how many times Max will say "F*** you" to a FF Character joining Super Smash Bros, I will pick 2. Which is not a lot, but surprised it happened twice. XD

I think this is the third time he has said “fuck you” to final fantasy 7 since I think during the direct that was announcing FF7 on switch, those were his first words.

chill the FUCK OUT SAKURAI

*How the shit is this real?! How is it real?!*

@@Sir_Robin_of_Camelot Sakurai did indeed not chill fuck out.

OH MY GOD

It close to his reaction to cloud being in smash 4

He’s a true FF7 fan

So the Minecraft fans are going to call him more a manchild?

He made sounds I've never heard him make before and I loved it.

I know right?!?!?!

The Whispers are local Smash tournament mods/staff

settle it in smash

Nintendo: Nah fam, remove that shit or we will.

Let’s go Sephiroth. You and me, no items, final destination.

@@knightghaleon Fox only

I literally Said that on stream in a vc with friends

Me when I heard Sephiroth got in *yeets to Maxmillan’s KZfaq channel*

Well, they're not wrong.

Yea. Me too.

Yep, literally thought of him and Caleb Hart as soon as I saw the news

I had no fucking clue. Fortnite zoomers were saying it was gonna be that soldier guy and I was zoned out for this reveal so I assumed they knew something I didn't. I had negative hype. Fucking Fortnite? Get outta here. I haven't been this surprised in years. When that first note of One Winged Angel started playing my brain had a primal reaction and I knew immediately but still didn't believe it.

I remember one day imagining him in smash but I never thought it would be a reality

All I'll say is this: steve's in for a reason. BRs are a fad.

I’m super not mad if Sora doesn’t get in

Pretty much like very few people expected Cloud in Sm4sh AFAIK. Both characters were some of the most satisfying surprises I've ever had concerning video games.

It reveals the inner child

Ugh. Holographic meatloaf??? MY FAVORITE

I wanted M. Bison but this is way better

This is neither a Nintendo Lawyer nor Vergil.

Aldo, the fact he was still on the blade during the sword clash... And was YEETED in the outerspace right After !

Its funny that everyone calls it a fakeout kill, when both times this happened in FF7 Continuity, Cloud didn't die from this.

Even Mario thought he was dead there.

"You never what what you have, until it's gone."

What about when Ridley straight up murdered him in HIS trailer?

Again!

Right Sephiroth is transcendent evil

This is where Cloud and Sephiroth transported to after KH2.

Not the first time it happened to Cloud

Cloud: WHY HIM?!

Sephiroth ain't edgy

The original FF7 is on almost every console now

Hey it’s rogersbase. Another Maximilian fan. Awesome

wow! didn't expect to see you here

After his reaction to the original Cloud reveal, you knew Sephiroth was going to make him blow his top.

IF ONLY ONLINE WASN'T SO MUCH TRASH!" and so, he like ultimate a lot as a fanservice game, play funny with friend (with items) but not would try to play serious because he not have the possibility to play 1vs1 vs real players

*proceeds to power-slap sephiroth out of existence*

Kirby could probably take sephiroth if we’re being honest here

@@settingittowumbo1953 Kirby and Sonic are canonically the only people in the roster capable of dealing with Sephiroth. As powerful as some of the other characters are, Sephiroth stomps most of the roster effortlessly. Cloud honestly has never defeated the full power Sephiroth alone, so while he would put up a fight, he wouldn't win. Both Kirby and Sonic have defeated Multiversal level Gods, (Void Termina and Solaris, respectively) which scales way beyond anything Sephiroth can dish out. Super Sonic can easily cancel Supernova, because it's a dimensional hax, and he has Chaos Control. Kirby has survived Galaxy Busting explosions without a scratch, such as the death of Void Termina. This makes Supernova completely useless. Illusions are not likely to defeat them either, because Kirby is so adaptable, and Sonic defeated the wielder of the Phantom Ruby, which has equal illusion power to Sephiroth, AND the ability to disrupt the Chaos Emeralds, making Super form impossible. There's no way Sephiroth can even damage either of them. That's a shitstomp.

@@SomaCruztheDemigodofBalance I think Bayonetta likely has a chance as well. Especially if we consider her victory over Balder the Infinite One as canon.

@@BJGvideos At no point in time was Balder ever on the level of Sephiroth. Bayonetta's best bet would be to dodge-tank literally everything and call for backup, because if she's hit once, she's dead. Her durability is nowhere near Kirby or even Base Sonic. Plus, she doesn't have any special protection against dimensional hax and illusions, which are Sephiroth's heavy hitters. Cloud puts up a good fight for awhile, but without a team to back him up, a full power Sephiroth would decimate him eventually. Bayonetta's a good choice to back up Cloud, because she already has experience with Magic, so he could just lend her some Materia. If Dante showed up, he'd probably change the whole fight, because he fought a Universal level Demon Emperor in his first game, and absolutely wrecked him. DMC5 Dante would actually be able to take Sephiroth alone, because he's fought even crazier. He'd get smoked by Kirby and Sonic, though. He'd probably laugh it off, afterwards.

I imagine Cloud telling the other characters that in a battle before they fight him 😭

*Everyone but Marth and Roy*: we don't speak Japanese.

Still can't beat clouds plot armor though...

@@AoVis but then in response to plot armor hindering his way sephiroth broke the space-time continuum to go back in time, defy fate, and get another chance at cloud. cloud will probably still win, but if he has plot armor sephiroth has a plot sword

@@StriderZessei lmfaooooo

kitsunez Missing the point entirely

@@sonomni buckle in buackroo Seph is overrated, just like most of the swordsmen

Sakurai: _never ask me for anything again_

I like the idea that Kirby would suicidally dive into another opportunity to add another ultra-powerful demigod to his bodycount. I'm imagining Kirby putting on his Cloud wig in an attempt to trick Seph into going after him rather than his intended target...

I understood that reference.

Sephiroth VS SANS is CLEARLY what this game was made for

If you stopped watching the awards show at that point, it isn't wrong.

@@shepherdsgamingrun I wish I did...

I hear the next DLC character will just be a floating disc of The Last of Us Part 2. None of the characters, just the game itself, and the final smash forces you to just play the game in its entirety and post a 10/10 score review of it on the internet

It's a perfect representation of him...a monster

Hello new main!!!

Sephiroth: F*ck Galeem. I'M the Final Boss now.

Dharkon:..., yeah I don't get paid enough for this...*leaves*

And brushes off the 20 or so characters that were there.

The problem is: Sephiroth may find a new rival in Smash. Another character who has a sword with enormous range, who can also fight without a shirt and who is at least as strong as Cloud in canon.

Cloud's gonna hide in Club Penguin and Sephiroth will find him there somehow.

@@DarkGamer364 It would be fucking hilarious if Shulk jumped into the fight while Cloud and Sephdog were having their little powwow and surprised Sephiroth by extending his blade even longer than his, scoring a hit.

In this trailer Sephiroth vanquished the world of light boss...but who will conquer the other boss? The world of darkness boss? Fucking Sora thats who.
