Maybe it’s because he made sure they did such an amazing job that I still can’t believe Sephiroth is actually in Smash Bros. Seriously. Still in that disbelief phase.

i missed the part where he said that they scrapped the part where it was one chance any difficulty. i initially thought it was one chance on very hard. kinda wish i unlocked him on very hard and not normal but oh well.

@@orion_shorts I mean lets look at all the other 3rd party characters in the DLC so far from big franchises. Joker brought stuff from P3 and P4 as well as P5 Hero had music from 4 DQ, some costumes not tied to a single game, and every hero not playable is in the FS Terry had 50 songs from across SNK's different games not just from Fatal Fury Steve while more minor still had music from the spin-offs so it wasn't just base Minecraft represented and then Final Fantasy gets nothing from anything other than 7, besides the Chocobo hat which isn't tied to a specific game. And I assume the Sephiroth spirit board will only have FF7 characters on it as well. They even finally implement a boss rush but have it locked to Sephiroth only.
@@GameGodZERO It's not Smash's fault: Square is VERY stingy with their IPs. Cloud almost didn't return for Ultimate and it was likely a pain getting Sephiroth and the other songs, much less songs from other FFs and remixing THOSE too. It's just far too much to ask for. Ungrateful FF fans I swear. Getting angry when a poster game is treated like a poster game.
@@hadouradiance3566 I'm just tired of FF7 being the only game ever recognized for anything.

Ultimate Sephiroth more damage, super armor, multiple phases/stocks and other improved stats. And finally a time limit to kill him before meteor falls.
Sounds awesome. IMO I thought it would’ve been awesome if this mode gave Sephiroth a health bar like the game’s main bosses. Also if very hard had shirtless Seph and at around 25% hp gave him a final smash, just to add that “oh sh-“ intense/final boss feeling. Still a great mode that I wish would sit around in the vault or something because it’s so beautiful to look at and fun to mess around on.

@@jsmaster4779 Same here but still could've been cool to get more but that's selfish of me and honestly, the fact that we got more and were told why music to include was a problem at times satisfies me and that's what matters. :)
I think Sakurai turned Super Smash Bros. Ultimate into an ode to gaming as a whole, every character gets so much love put into it, it's crazy. I truly appreciate how far this series has come to, and I'm already dying in anticipation to know what will become of it in the next iterations.
Super late, but the way I would have done it would have been like this: 1. Beat Easy -- Unlock the music (for use in Cloud's stage) 2. Beat Normal -- Unlock the stage + the music 3. Beat Very Hard -- Unlock everything
This is why I wish Boss Sephiroth has other stuff like: -crazy stats (one f-tilt does 80% damage, for example) -permanent wing mode -Exclusive moves (ie. Meteor)
It always warms my heart to see you get so giddy with excitement when you nerd out on FF7 or the FGC. Sakurai playing KOF'98 competitively is news to me and only adds to my appreciation of the man. I used to play that shit for ages.
I freaking love how the Easy and Normal difficulty have classic One-Winged Angel playing and Very Hard has the Advent version. I didn’t notice till this video, since I went straight to Very Hard like a champ.
This was a treat to watch you play this on Twitch the other day Maximilian dood. Seeing just how ecstatic you were by the music and the stage and the character itself made my day for sure. Sephiroth was one of my wishes back in Brawl and Smash 4. Glad we got him in Smash now!
This is what I wanted since I was a child. All my childhood dreams are coming true. First FF7 Remake, and now Sephiroth In smash. I’m 12 all over again.
Seeing Max smiling and laughing when listening the new arrangements makes me feel better; I thought I was weird for enjoying orchestral soundtracks like that :)
I did Kirby on very hard my first try cause I misread what Sakurai said (thought you had to beat him on very hard to unlock him), came out of it with 0.2%, a mini heart attack, and sephiroth

Jaden Quest That sounds even darker tbh
Specifically, he ate them. Max's comments on Ridley are somewhat of a running gag from a couple of vids ago though.
Insert "but he only did it once" joke here
Yeah. Ridley and Sephiroth have literally killed people on screen. Ganondorf ain't even done that. At least I don't ever recall him doing so.
So you're saying Sephiroth's wing needs to be "clipped?" 😏
Cease
that made me lol
13:02 felt like crying at this point. That camera work with Aerith's theme is SO GOOD
That's not Aerith's theme at character select, lol... That's the main FFVII theme.
Exactly! I was like "did you even play FFVII ???" lol jk jk
I attribute it more to a slip. Max knows, lol
Sometimes fans really just fuck up at the most obvious shit lmaooo 😭
Cut him some slack guys lol he’s freaking out.
"He's a weeb with power." The most accurate description of what's going. Fantastic and I love it!
Max:Sephiroth is not for children
Sephiroth:this puts a smile on my face
"We have to find a way to make it challening"
Oh boy... About 10 hours of Severoth later, I bet he regrets those words.
The osts mixed in with the Smash theme is so hype.
This music was made during the covid era, guys. Phenomenal.
I LOVE that the first three minutes is just Max enjoying the amazing music!!!😂👍🏼
1:23 And thus begins the beautiful expressive display of love. His tears had me in tears
Seeing Max get teased with FFVII remake for years and then getting this much FFVII content dumped on him in such a short timespan really makes me smile, his hype is so wholesome :D
In the intro he got hit with the "Nothing personal kid."
Then at the very end he does the same thing XD Seph doesn't even go flying he just falls to the ground after a quick slash, it was perfect.
“A weeb with power.” I wouldn’t mind a video of Max gushing over final fantasy music in smash bros
Same. Too bad Square didn't give them the SNK treatment.
@@dnmstarsi I’m still happy with what we got. 9 new tracks, 4 of them being new arrangements coming from Square Enix is nothing to scoff at.
@@jsmaster4779 Same here but still could've been cool to get more but that's selfish of me and honestly, the fact that we got more and were told why music to include was a problem at times satisfies me and that's what matters. :)
I think Sakurai turned Super Smash Bros. Ultimate into an ode to gaming as a whole, every character gets so much love put into it, it's crazy.
I truly appreciate how far this series has come to, and I'm already dying in anticipation to know what will become of it in the next iterations.
the music timing at 13:01 is just amazing
Love how they use the Advent Children version of Sephiroth's them for Very Hard
7:35 I swear the Sephiroth dash danced
Super late, but the way I would have done it would have been like this:
1. Beat Easy -- Unlock the music (for use in Cloud's stage)
2. Beat Normal -- Unlock the stage + the music
3. Beat Very Hard -- Unlock everything
Max plays with Cloud: “Ah, I see you are a man of culture as well.”
I think a single tear of joy run down Max’s face during the remix theme ❤️
Max says Sakurai is not just a weeb but "A weeb with power". My kind of weeb.
13:05
Perfect timing with the music
I’ve never heard Max Dood scream like that before... 🤣
This is why I wish Boss Sephiroth has other stuff like:
-crazy stats (one f-tilt does 80% damage, for example)
-permanent wing mode
-Exclusive moves (ie. Meteor)
"He's too easy"
VH Sephiroth
"You gon' learn today"
It always warms my heart to see you get so giddy with excitement when you nerd out on FF7 or the FGC. Sakurai playing KOF'98 competitively is news to me and only adds to my appreciation of the man. I used to play that shit for ages.
I love that Keiichi Okabe (Nier Automata Composer) is the one that arranged that Aerith Theme ❤ GLORIOUS!
«but Max, it’s for children, hehehe»
«Sephiroth is not for children»
Me: well, he’s got a point there
Saw a guy clear very hard by keeping ground slapping with DK
I freaking love how the Easy and Normal difficulty have classic One-Winged Angel playing and Very Hard has the Advent version. I didn’t notice till this video, since I went straight to Very Hard like a champ.
10:27-10:34
Every Kingdom Hearts fan when there's no critical mode.
This was a treat to watch you play this on Twitch the other day Maximilian dood. Seeing just how ecstatic you were by the music and the stage and the character itself made my day for sure. Sephiroth was one of my wishes back in Brawl and Smash 4. Glad we got him in Smash now!
Cool to see CLoud and Sephiroth from Ergheiz: God Bless The Ring make it to Smash
I love the intensity in the "A LOT OF SENSE" I have no idea why it makes me laugh so much 😂
This is what I wanted since I was a child. All my childhood dreams are coming true. First FF7 Remake, and now Sephiroth In smash. I’m 12 all over again.
The very second I heard that remix of the main theme of FFVII, I knew we were in for something special.
Max literally true fan of FF7. I love the remix so much that I’m actually wanted more FF7.
okay 13:05 was just epic. the music lined up perfectly with the background, and Max's reaction was a beauty to behond
“Power Weeb!!!”
Seeing Max smiling and laughing when listening the new arrangements makes me feel better; I thought I was weird for enjoying orchestral soundtracks like that :)
Max’s reactions to FF are always great, he’s like a kid in a candy store. 😅
This man deserves a hug for how giddy he is, gawdamn it’s infectious.
Remembering doing the challenge with cloud. Got seph down to literally 0.4%, then he got ME down to 0.3% and won. >~
'I will never be a memory'
9:44 I appreciate the timing of this moment so much
VERY HARD HAS ADVENT CHILDREN ONE WINGED ANGEL THEME??!!!!!
I would have done the same thing at Stage Select by listening to the music. "Sephiroth is not for children!" Haha
So which character did you guys beat Sephiroth with?
I did it with Terry on easy, Cloud on Normal, and Joker on Very Hard.
Wii Fit Trainer on normal. I started trying with Simon but he's too slow and Seph keeps closing the gap too quick.
I did Kirby on very hard my first try cause I misread what Sakurai said (thought you had to beat him on very hard to unlock him), came out of it with 0.2%, a mini heart attack, and sephiroth
I used Ryu on Very hard. Gotta go hard bro!!
@@Adonis120989 Respect.
Pichu on every difficulty.
Wow, the music really takes me back to Christmas break 1997! Just grinding through disc 1-2 before school starts back up.
