I enjoyed the "I don't know why I'm talking about [animation frames], I'm just the guy that wanted to make a fun party game"

I've been wonder how much of an intentional jab that was as the Smash community lol. Sakurai never really envisioned Smash as a tournament series.

How low can I go in the Sephiroth Challenge™?

 

[Erotic Materia]

3 SECONDS?!

 

[Odysseus]

What did you do to the poor man?

 

[Gym Leader Devil]

Move over Cloud, Sephiroth maintains himself in the Life stream by focusing on his hatred of Prism now

*One Punch Man theme intensifies*

2.56 seconds on Very Hard is the lowest I've seen online so far

 

[Gym Leader Devil]

Just beat the challenge as Sonic, I'm not nearly good enough to do it 3 seconds but damn, intense finish. I had 6 HP left, he 3, he wound up for an forward smash just as I started charging a Homing Attack, it was beautiful seeing hedgie zip over the Masamune and clock Sephiroth in a face

Holy crap.... These Smash Remixes are godly.

I got goosebumps hearing the Smash Remix of Aerith's Theme. I have no words. Yoko Shimomura doing remixes of FFVII's soundtrack is something I never knew I needed so badly in my life.

 

[Tetsujin]

Wait what Shimomura

need to listen immediately

okay, so it looks like she did Cosmo Canyon and Keiichi Okabe from the NieR series did Aerith's Theme, that's awesome

Some stage stuff I wanted to point out. Besides the iconic set pieces, you can see other areas of the Northern Cave rendered. Like the climbable slopes and spiral stalagmite.





I've always thought that with a few modifications, Smash's aesthetic would've been perfect for a FF7 remake. It can capture that 90's RPG feel and the lower fidelity would've maybe prevented it from being split into parts. Someday when FF7 is remade again, I hope they take my advice haha.

 

[Saven]

I'm glad Yuzo Koshiro got to do one FFVII song. Hopefully it won't be the last either!

 

[Gym Leader Devil]

Sephiroth's Classic Mode route is batshit, small I'm saying

How low can I go in the Sephiroth Challenge™?

Ok, y'all are really messing with my sense of worth in regards to my ability in smash. I CANNOT. BEAT. THIS. MOTHERFUCKER. on very hard.

 

[Gym Leader Devil]

I got through it by getting early damage with spin dashes, his AI took a bit to figure it out.

To get times that low you gotta cheese him pretty hard, don't sweat it man.

 

[Prism]

Exactly, Odysseus has got it right. You gotta pull some really gimmicky stuff to kill him that early. (The 3 second one was through the Game and Watch strategy, though I got 8 seconds with Chrom by chaining f-air into a Chromcide...I bet something similar could be done with Cloud)

Poor Sephiroth is being beat to a pulp with this challenge...

When not using total gimmicks, Cloud’s limit break version of Blade Beam takes Sephiroth’s health down pretty quickly.

 

[Gym Leader Devil]

Has anyone mentioned how perfect Sephiroth's stage is, when put together with Cloud's? Cloud got Midgar, the place where the whole story started (for the players at least). Sephy got the Northern Cave, where the gameplay ends and its all cut scenes from here. Nice bit of book ending they did there.

No, you misunderstand. It's not about beating him quickly. I just can't beat him period.

I'm the best in the house at Smash, but apparently I'm garbage overall.

 

[Odysseus]

Guess you just gotta git gud m8

Sephiroth Challenge Speedrun World Record : 1.58 sec

 

[Odysseus]

Damn. I can't imagine it getting much faster than that.

 

[Erotic Materia]

I literally have no idea what happened there. How is he doing over 200 points of damage in a single hit?

 

[Odysseus]

Hero has an attack that has a chance to instantly KO the opponent.

 

[Erotic Materia]

No video proof, but it's a straight share from Switch, so... it looks like this guy got a quicker Thwack
