Never pressed a YT notification faster. I beat and loved FF7 as a child, Ultimate is my first real Smash game that I’ve put energy into getting good at (I played N64 version as a kid) and my main has been bottom-tier Ganondorf since launch. Sephiroth feels like he was built for my exact playstyle and this guide just became my bible for the next few weeks. Thanks so much for putting this together! Committing to Sephiroth as my new main has revitalized my interest in the game 🙏🏻🙏🏻

I've always played Smash casually. Competitively I'm more into your standard 2D fighters. So Smash always seemed alien to me. This video was a big help in getting me to see and understand how to apply fighting game terms into smash. These videos are appreciated! Thank you!

I'm so happy your Sephiroth guide is finally here! You're legendary as always! :)

I think it is very appropiate that the guy that loves to torture Cloud's mind is all about mind games in this game.

Great vid, thanks so much for making it! One small note on Sephiroth's Shadow Flares, only the last orb hit will always send your opponent away. The earlier orb hits work different. They send the opponent in the opposite direction of where they were facing when hit with the original application of the move. At low percents it doesn't matter because they don't have much knockback, but at high percents it can make the difference between a kill or not. Niche info but could come in handy at high percents.

Let’s go early Christmas gift. Thank you so much Izaw

Sephiroth: Guardian of the ledge

Always looking forward to your guides. The cleanest guides around instead of random thoughts all over the place. Thank you!

This tells me I REALLY need to practice my Nair game..

I've watched a lot of tutorials on smash characters lately...yours is by far the best one thx bro.

This is your best guide IMO. A ton of content covered going over all of the basics through to the intricacies of gameplay. 10/10

Nice guide as always! I already enjoy playing him as a neutral/footsies character, so I'll be sure to keep everything here in mind to supplement his gameplan! Thanks! ^^

I figured out early on octoslash was op and that if you b-reverse it while recovering, you send them to the other side You can do edgeguards the same way too since it just covers so much space

Merry Christmas IzawSmash

Quality stuff Izaw nicely done!

This is an amazing breakdown. This is the first I've seen of these. Really helps understand the different ways of playing a character.

Thank you SO much for this video! 🙏 It is SO appreciated. I was instantly drawn to Sephiroth's playstyle in Smash, and he just stuck with me. I have been maining Sephiroth in Smash for about a year now. Recently, I made it into my high school's Smash Bros. team. So, I've been starting to get really serious about it. There's a lot of pressure on me for being the only female on my team, and my scores have been fluctuating a lot. These tips are really going to up my gameplay, but I still need to train and study more. No matter what kind of score I end up with, I'll just be glad I made it that far with Sephiroth. 🙌🖤 I am going to use a LOT more of my neutrals now since seeing this video. 😆 Can't rely on those specials TOO much. Glory to God I found this video when I did. Again, this video is appreciated... Thank you. ⚔🤺 I wish you all the best for your channel.

The best guide ever on this charecter. Other channels dont even upload guides its just hype

I've been waiting for this!! Thanks!!!!

I love sephiroth

A Christmas miracle tutorial on a badass like Sephiroth! Thanks Izaw!

Me before this video: hehe long sword Me after this video: I GIVE DISPEAR TO ALL!

The true thanos in smash

in a seph ditto, you can just use side-b to easily get rid of flare (neutral-B) Like in mu's with characters that have projectiles, shadow flare can get rid of those pesky projectiles It can even clang with normal attacks so it may save you

"I have been waitng for this moment"

As soon as I saw the trailer I knew I had to look forward to your vid!

Great stuff as always, man!

Nice video as always. Looking towards a Samus/Dark Samus video one day.

So what do you do against people that rush you down and don't give you time to space yourself or allow you to do the approaching? I feel like I'm stuck shielding way too much as Sephiroth when someone rushes me down since he doesn't have good out of shield options.

On sephs counter there is a window in which you can hit him right after the counter is active and right before the attack comes out
