'''Sephiroth''' is the antagonist from [[Square Enix]]'s ''[[wikipedia:Final Fantasy VII|Final Fantasy VII]]''. He is a former renowed member of an elite fighting force called SOLDIER, who defected and went on a murderous rampage after discovering the circumstances of his existence. Sephiroth would then go on in becoming a world-ending threat for [[Cloud Strife]] and his allies to stop. He appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as a downloadable character.

Sephiroth is set to release in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' as the third fighter of Fighters Pass Vol. 2, following [[Min Min]] and [[Steve (Minecraft)|Steve]]. During {{wp|The Game Awards 2020|The Game Awards}} held on December 10, 2020, he was announced as the fighter for Challenger Pack 8. A follow-up broadcast hosted by [[Masahiro Sakurai]] on December 17, 2020, further showcased his moves as well as his home stage, the [[Northern Cave]]. The pack is set to release officially on December 22, 2020, though from December 17 until its release, if the player has purchased the individual pack or Fighters Pass Vol. 2 and updated the game to version 10.0.0, they can partake in a "Sephiroth Challenge" event, where they can fight Sephiroth in a Stamina battle on the Northern Cave stage on Easy, Normal, or Very Hard difficulty. If the player defeats Sephiroth on any difficulty, they unlock him, the stage, and its music early.<ref>[https://www.smashbros.com/en_US/blog/index.html?category=cat08_info_patch-v10 Super Smash Blog post for version 10.0.0]</ref>
 
The reveal trailer for Sephiroth takes place during the events of the adventure game mode, World of Light, emerging during a fight between various characters and [[Galeem]] and several [[Master Hand]]s. Unlike all of the other characters in-game, he is the only playable character that seems to not join forces with the cast; however, he cuts Galeem in half right before his appearance, seemingly being against both separate parties. [[Cloud Strife|Cloud]] then recognizes Sephiroth upon his appearance. After brief gameplay footage, Sephiroth is seen attempting to stab through [[Mario]] (a reference to his actions towards Cloud during the Nibelheim Incident flashback in the original game as well as a similar action in their duel in ''{{wp|Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children|Advent Children Complete}}''), which is then interrupted by Cloud, and the two begin swordfighting.
 
====Classic Mode route====
All of Sephiroth's opponents are bosses, making his Classic Mode route similar to Boss Battles mode from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.

====Final Smash====
[[File:Sephiroth5.png|300px|thumb|right|Safer∙Sephiroth during the Final Smash.]]
'''Supernova''' is Sephiroth's Final Smash. When the move is activated, Sephiroth swipes his Masamune in a wide arc. If at least one opponent is hit, a cutscene is initiated. Sephiroth turns into his final form, Safer∙Sephiroth, and begins an attack resembling his Supernova ability in ''Final Fantasy VII'', summoning Meteor to wipe out several planets.
 
In its original appearance, Supernova's animation lasted for roughly thirty seconds. Infamously, the international versions of ''Final Fantasy VII'' extended the animation, where it plays for nearly two minutes. In this game however, it has been shortened to roughly six seconds.
