What to expect from Sephiroth
While his combat style in the game remains largely shrouded in mystery, it can be rest assured that this devilish character will bring some darkness to the Smash universe.
Armed with his signature deadly katana Masamune, his melee style combat makes him perfect for brawling. When you add the fact he controls the elements into the mix, it’s pretty obvious that Sephiroth is going to be a force to be reckoned with.
His associated trailer sees him slashing enemies right, left and center, as well as spearing his opponents into walls. It’ll be interesting to see how Smash integrates a more hardcore character into its cartoon style universe, but we’re certainly excited to get our hands on this infamous villain!
