** This factors into gameplay too. There is ''nowhere'' safe against Sephiroth when he is on the offensive. Below the stage? His down air can slightly pierce the edges of the ledge, meaning when you come up, you get hit by a spike. Above him? Two really strong sweeping attacks that are often used as ''killing blowes''. Taking potshots? Hope you enjoy blowing up when [[WhyAmITicking Shadow Flare]] goes off. Off stage? Sephiroth's favourite killing grounds. Behind your shield? Down Smash = "Pop, goes the shield." TL;DR, Fighting a compitent Sephiroth when on the defensive just plain sucks.

'''Nintendo debut:''' ''VideoGame/TheatrhythmFinalFantasy'' [UsefulNotes/Nintendo3DS], 2012

* TheWorfEffect: His reveal trailer sees him make his grand entrance by instantly killing Galeem with a single hit — the same Galeem that handily eradicated the universe at the start of ''World of Light'' and is one of the two PhysicalGod main villains of said story mode, and the one that not even the memetically powerful Kirby could beat on his own. Though to cut Galeem some slack anyone who's played the games from his home series can tell you that this trope is nothing new for Sephiroth. Especially when he's usually been on the giving end too. At least most of the time

* WorldsStrongestMan: In his home universe, he already qualifies, being the result of an experiment to make superhuman soldiers from alien DNA. He continues to live up to this status in ''Smash'', by killing Galeem with one slice of the Masamune and handing a CurbStompBattle to all the other fighters. He also has the skills to back it up, summoning powerful spells for some of his attacks and demonstrating his master swordsmanship while in combat. Gameplay-wise, if you use certain item and spirit combinations as well as an opponent with the poorest defense against said spirits along with the manual buff and debuff system and do so with an attack raise on the Find Mii stage, then Sephiroth has the highest attack potential in the game with Gigaflare, Coming out to over '''''59,000% damage''''', as seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2plqZpfv4A here]].
