Smash Ultimate Sephiroth reveal inspired by FF7 Advent Children movie Nintendo \/ Visual WorksObservant fans have realized that Sephiroth\u2019s reveal in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is nearly a shot-for-shot reenactment of a scene from 2005\u2019s polarizing film. One of the most popular video game franchises of all time, Final Fantasy first made its way into the Smash roster in 2015 when Cloud became the sixth third-party character to join the Nintendo game in Super Smash Bros. 4. Then, during the 2020 Game Awards, it was revealed that Cloud\u2019s nemesis, Sephiroth, would be joining the SSBU roster as well. Everyone was expecting the eighth DLC fighter\u2019s reveal at The Game Awards, but few thought it would be Sephiroth. Ever since Cloud was added, the community has loved the idea of Sephiroth hilariously following him into the Nintendo fighter. So when that \u201cOne Winged Angel\u201d theme music started playing during the reveal, a mixture of laughter and jubilation ensued. To introduce the character, Nintendo decided to reference FF7 and build up hype in a way that fans would surely appreciate. With the game\u2019s cast looking skyward, an imperceptible character began flying downward with \u201cOne Winged Angel\u201d dramatically beginning to play in the background. https:\/\/twitter.com\/SSBUNews\/status\/1338181834325315588 Renowned Smash player and caster, Juan \u2018Hungrybox\u2019 Debiedma may have had the best reaction to Sephiroth\u2019s reveal, but he was far from alone in the excitement. Letting out a high-pitched squeal as the theme music started, that wouldn\u2019t be the last reference to FF7.

The movie is set two years after the game\u2019s events, but still features a climactic scene between Cloud and Sephiroth. That scene appears to have been perfectly reenacted for the Game Awards reveal, albeit with a hilarious Nintendo twist to the most stirring moment. https:\/\/twitter.com\/aitaikimochi\/status\/1337311414394884099 When Super Smash Bros. first released in 1999, it featured popular Nintendo characters like Mario and Kirby. Years later, SSBU\u2019s roster includes similarly goofy DLC fighters like Piranha Plant and Minecraft Steve. Now, a spooky, brooding Sephiroth is joining and he intends to \u201cgive Smash despair.\u201d Read more: MKLeo reveals top Smash Ultimate fighters – The funniest, most ridiculous ode to is the impaling scene.
