What an underrated UA-camr. I just wanted to learn the basics and you did it with good quality in less then 10 minutes. Great job, you just got another sub!
you can cancel his neutral b without even shielding, you just have to quickly tap shield (must be released within 4 frames I believe) and your shield wont come out, which can confuse the opponent and easily bait out shield so you can grab them. you can also land with neutral b and cancel it before even hitting the ground, same way as before, just right before you hit the ground. That's all I have to say lol, great vid!
Have to mention this since it is not said in the video. While Shadow Flare will take 5 seconds before activating, if you are fortunate enough to get the maximum amount, 5 stacks, it will actually take longer to activate. The amount of time it takes to activate is roughly 7-9 seconds rather than 5 seconds. This is pretty useful if your opponent is unaware of it and knows how long it takes normally, as it can be used to throw off their timing of blocking or reflecting.
Good info! I just started using him (and just started playing smash after many many years) . Gotta adjust to the controls or set them up in a way that makes sense for me lol
Should I use the tilt stick while doing aerials with sephiroth or use the a regular attack button I feel like fast falling after is easier to use the stick but I wanted to get some advice first
I think both ways are viable. But you’re right, doing aerials with the right stick is technically easier and makes fast falling take less effort. It requires to get rid of habits, though.
Down air is very punishable, I’ve seen someone get punished for landing it, your opponent goes straight to the ground and attacks you before you can get out
Don't want to be that guy but it's important to know, on slashes the strongest hitbox is in the middle, and on thrusts the strongest hitbox is at the tip.
@@andromeda8580 that's kinda how irl katanas work. The tip is mostly for attack, the middle is more for control (weaker than the base but stronger than the tip), and the base is more for blocking. The masamune is essentially an oversized katana
So helpful I’m a Sephiroth main and everything in this video is good I just can’t always master the tilts and I use octoslash for high-damage-last-stock-finish
so this is wrong... as a sephiroth main, i can tell you that all you need to do is spam side b and downsmash, break shield, then just gigaflare. its super mindless.
My play style is very up close and personal like I will use jabs low kicks and then I'll use my katana to sweep across the field not allowing my opponent to escape my reach. Pretty much my whole tire game is up close personal and I'm not letting you escape my reach whatsoever oh you try to back away guess what a big long metal swords coming your way oh you're a little further away okay blue bomb. And the shadows I usually use the shadow fire for when I'm doing my jobs and kicks and stuff while backing away and using down b as a shield like I will run up and look like I'm charging in but then I'll just stop and then I'll down be fainting my opponent and then as they as they get baited Shadow flare and then that's when they get they start freaking out and that's when I start going right deep in and not allowing them to get out of my range. Like I rather have my opponent like chest to chest with me then be very far away from me. Because as long as they're in my little bubble they're not escaping
So, Shadow Flare takes 5 seconds to hit... and Giga Flare takes 2 seconds to charge...
"Seven seconds until the end."
I like to think that was intentional
“Meteor has already touched the doorknob”
I love the fact that you used Kira Yoshikage's theme because Kira and Sephiroth are both voiced by the same person in the Japanese version.
I knew someone would catch on 😉
That's why I use the purple skin
@@guidomista3570 Good thing it's not the fourth skin.
Glad others noticed
But they aint right?I checked and it told me they werent
I was already afraid of Sephiroth when he sawed Galeem in half, then I got him, watched this, and now I am the one they fear
Finally, I can give all the clouds and soras ptsd
Excellent music choice. Love the Kira theme from JoJo!
What an underrated UA-camr. I just wanted to learn the basics and you did it with good quality in less then 10 minutes. Great job, you just got another sub!
So true amen
Make that two subs
Great Sephiroth guide, Xenado! I learned things I didn't know before like jab being frame 5!
1:37 I love how he starts playing the song used for Kars in JJBA.
THE best Sephiroth guide on UA-cam. Hands down.
you can cancel his neutral b without even shielding, you just have to quickly tap shield (must be released within 4 frames I believe) and your shield wont come out, which can confuse the opponent and easily bait out shield so you can grab them. you can also land with neutral b and cancel it before even hitting the ground, same way as before, just right before you hit the ground.

Nice tip
brief and informative. TY sir. You are a gentleman and a scholar

i love how you used the ultimate life form theme for sephiroth
You had me at Kira Yoshikage's theme. Subbed.
I knew I was watching a god tier video when Kar's theme at 1:37 started playing
Ooh that FFXIV Music at the end was a nice fit
Up throw to Nair works at low percents. Can't DI out of it.
The yoshikage kira theme is such a good choice of music lol
underrated channel.
That song towards the end l. Someone plays FFXIV. 👍🏾
How does this not have more likes-
40 seconds in before I realized this wasn’t a guide to use him in Rebirth lol

easy way to deal with rush down = counter/ down b
Holy fuck this is awesome
Dame Dame Dame Dame Dame 💣
So helpful I’m a Sephiroth main and everything in this video is good I just can’t always master the tilts and I use octoslash for high-damage-last-stock-finish
they really need to lessen the lag after it
Sheer heart attack- I mean sephiroth has no weaknesses
The fact you have so little subs makes me angry 》:/. Great content mate!
Doesn’t he have superarmor on his smash attack in the comeback mode
Love the JoJo music
May I point out 0:53 is rong it varies based on your advantage/disadvantage
Nice vid I think I’m just bad
Better title how to master Yoshikage Kira in 8 Minutes
Lol it wasn't 8 minutes because there was a 30 second ad 😂
boy dissed m2k right off the rip LMAO
i'm not really sure but from the music selection i think but only maybe think this guy likes Jojo
Nice vid but I think I’m just bad at
I heard short hop fast fall and gave up
Why? That’s basic stuff
Man i lost hard using my boy. Stupid items gave most of my friends the wins 😒
so this is wrong... as a sephiroth main, i can tell you that all you need to do is spam side b and downsmash, break shield, then just gigaflare. its super mindless.
That doesn't work against someone with a brain
@@cashew429 well, when he was newer, it worked better, but yea. just doing that wont get you anywhere.
@@aidenthecrane2893 Fair enough
So much power, and none at the same time😂
