Sephiroth details abound, along with new music and more for Super Smash Bros Ultimate
If you can believe it, at a decent time for us, Nintendo hosted a Super Smash Bros. Ultimate - Mr Sakurai Presents, dedicated to Sephiroth. In it, not only was it revealed to show off the moves that the latest addition to the Super Smash Bros roster has, but also new mii fighter costumes and more music were revealed.
First up were the new Mii Fighter costumes, which is a little different, as they are normally at the end, but as the video contained lots of them in action, it makes sense. Players will be able to get outfits for Barret, Tifa and Aerith from Final Fantasy VII, a Chocobo hat from Final Fantasy and Geno from Super Mario RPG.
They also detailed the music, with 9 new tracks to enjoy, four of which are new arrangements. Sakurai also talked about how complex some of the music tracks are to licence, with different groups holding different rights in other parts of the world. Whatever the reason, it is nice to see more tracks this time.
Now onto the big guy, the character will release on December 22nd, and is included in the Season Fighter Pass 2, but if you own that, you can try and beat him in the Sephiroth challenge, which is starting later today. If players complete the challenge on any difficulty setting before the fighter’s official release, they can unlock Sephiroth, the Northern Cave stage and the additional music tracks early!
If you own the second Fighter Pass, the challenge will go live when the update hits later today, if you don’t you can buy the pack and have a chance to enjoy the challenge as well. You can buy it direct from the eShop right here.
Sephiroth joins Cloud as another playable fighter from the FINAL FANTASY series. But their play styles are far from similar. While they both possess swords, not much can compare to the range of Sephiroth’s legendary Masamune. He is also a much lighter fighter, offering quick movement, but taller and more prone to be struck by opponents. Using a combination of powerful and fast-moving slashes, air attacks, magic spells and throws, Sephiroth and his mighty Masamune are a formidable pair against Cloud and the dozens of other Super Smash Bros. Ultimate fighters.
