-Seeing a next match in Colisseum, I'm like "Meh, so far every match was easy, where is my competition" -Cutscene : Long haired dude emerges from portal, me:"Hah, that's funny, this guy looks a lot like Sephi-...... "? -One-Winged Angel music kicks in: Me:" Oh........ Shit"
its possible just really hard you need be very strategic in this fight he makes most of the other boss fights other than other secret bosses look like normal enemies 3 hardest i beleive were him the clock tower and the one in agrabah
While this might be unintentional, Sephiroth is pretty consistently left handed, which means in this fight he purposefully uses his right hand just to go easy on Sora which I think is a neat detail.
No wait I thought he was right handed and whenever he uses his left it’s to intimidate his opponent and get into their head that this isn’t even his best
@@Maestoso28 That's Auron, who never uses his left arm because he doesn't need to and lets it sling in his coat even though it is perfectly fine. Sephiroth is straight lefty with enough ambidexterity that he can easily defeat someone with his right hand, but his left is always shown as his dominant.
Weird because I remember wiping the floor with sephiroth even on top difficulty but ironically some of the dumbass tricks from the last few series of "final boss" fights had me trying much harder
As much pain as this fight and the Dark Souls series brought me throughout my life, if there was somehow a Sephiroth boss fight in Dark Souls I would be incredibly erect.
Totally fair, when I first saw that intro scene, I just about shat myself and then one winged angel started and the psychological warfare was complete. I never did beat him on this.
You're obviously as dumb as he is if you think he made that look easy lmfao. From experience I can tell you the way he had to heal and barely fought back that dude didn't go 5 seconds without honestly thinking he was about to die, which is pretty much true. This guy clearly isn't smart or would have learned early game how to atleast tactically avoid damage, go in and swing your ass off if you want but God damn man there's guard and glide abilities along with air combos and shit to put yourself out of danger most times when you understand the attack coming at you lol
He got really lucky, there were several times where Seiphiroth could've RNG finished him with one sword swing. I guarantee you this fight wouldn't happen twice in a row, blindly smashing attack doesn't work in this fight 99/100 times.
I dont wanna a sephiroth fight The fight in kh2 was a joke. I wanna a noctis fight or lightning Or warrior of light That all make more Sense as a sephiroth fight again The sephiroth "saga" is ended in kh 2

Ah, I remember my first time battling Sephiroth. I literally had no idea what ???? was at the Collesium so out of curiosity I chose it. I was in anticipation and wonder at what was going to happen when that light appeared from the sky and to the ground. Then his form started to appear and then it registered who was in front of me. "Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, oh shit" I was in excitment, shock, awe and just wanted to get the hell outta that fight. Good times, good times.
I remember my first time fighting Sepheroth and let’s just say I should have been wearing my brown trousers but I wasn’t. That shit was terrifying and then he hit you with the angel spell for the first time and you were sooooo not prepared for that
Nah sephiroth was in kh1 hard but kurt zisa or xemnas was harder And in kh2 was he a joke even the final boss is harder as sephiroth (Reflega/limit Form spam) And you beat him easily with Level 40 I wanna a fight aka mysterious figure Or like the final boss from 0.2. (One of the hardest boss battles the entire series)
[GS]Naminé But you’re talking about the Final Mix version. In the regular KH2 game, Sephiroth was still challenging, especially if he caught you with his Flash cut attack.
Never played FF7 before this, but I remember this music started playing and I was like "O_O...I have no idea who that it but I'm bloody terrified, right now."
He is but at the same time. depending on your level...you are free to do certain things..you can tell He is at a decently high level because the attacks aren't hurting him that much or it could be the difficulty as well.
One thing is certain...and that's that he has done his research and clearly has the materials for all or the accessory shop items etc..which helps with stats etc
I learned about him from a comment on an _American Dad_ Stelio Kontos video! I finally decided to search him up and watch, and especially seeing his eponymous-like theme song be in gothic I saw it. 😈
I remember this enemy. So far most battles were easy at the coliseum but this was next level. I was 13 at the time, never played Final fantasy (and still haven't). So I didn't know him, but I knew that you have to be hard if you have your own soundtrack saying your name over and over. I battled and lost and tried and tried again. Every time edging closer, learning his patterns, what worked and what not. I had no youtube or guides or anything like that. Took me around a full day of gaming to beating him (7hours in my sofa, trying over and over). The next day, I told my cousin I had taken him down. He didn't believe me.
And my guess is this was around the time that the only way to know that you beat him is if the beginning cutscene of when Sephiroth doesn't happen. No "One Winged Angel" keyblade.
Lance Bass. I didn't mind his voice, it just didn't fit Sephiroth. I always imagined Sephiroth's voice as being a lot deeper and more gravelly, Lance Bass would have been better as Cloud or someone younger.
Ugh hell no to Cloud. No way to say this, but Cloud's VA is undisputed for his character so hell no to anyone who would replace him. I rather see Lance better off as a different Final Fantasy or Kingdom Hearts character. Maybe as Zell or Genesis or Kuja. Also, to admit it, his N'SYNC musics were way better than the nowadays musics.
Technically it was Lance Bass the original VA for Sephiroth. George Newbern is basically a recast for Sephiroth and then ever since he's been playing him for a long time. Hopefully he'll still reprise for the ff7remake and then every of future adaption games that has Sephiroth in it.
Was level 40 when I tried fighting this guy. One basic attack from his sword was a 1 hit KO while it took me 5 whole minutes to drop his first health bar. Took me 57 tries to knock him down to his last health bar only for him to enter that bs god mode... Watching this video made me realized how much time and controllers I could have saved perfecting the art of dodge rolling and guarding if I had only grinded for just a bit longer in every world.
vidant829 LMAO same tho. I remember doing platinum and barely making it to that fight and he hit me once and I died instantly I couldn't stop laughing 😂
People in this comment section: “You’re never getting Sora in Smash bc you lost to Sephiroth in Kingdom Hearts multiple times LUL.” Sora after his Smash Reveal today: “AM I A JOKE TO YOU?”
Plot twist: sephiroth defeated sora in a bet for smash and at this point you're never getting sora for smash Edit: MOM I'M FAMOUS!!!! and yeah I know lol
This was the start for me.... This was my first time seeing him... I was a kid. Couldn’t even pronounce his name. I knew he must have been a big deal considering the big entrance and the badass music.... I didn’t understand how much danger I was in back then.... I understand now...
To this day the crowning jewel to my gaming experience has and always will be my showdown with sephiroth, I played probably over 1000 hours of KH and following a couple victories against sephiroth I figured I should craft the ultima weapon and attempt my best run at him yet. I had fought him so many times that I memorized every animation and move that he could do and it finally happened. With the help of the ultimate weapon and being level 100 I beat sephiroth taking zero damage in the process. I will never accomplish more in a game ever in my life
"He's got syphilis, give the man Mac and cheese. He's got syphilis, give the man mac and cheese, SEPHIROTH" Edit: never had over 100 liked before. Lucky me! And this was just a throw away comment I put
The reason this battle is so good is because even when you level up to 100, he is still fun and challenging. You don't mind playing him over and over again. The developers really hit the home run.
I remember that his HP was too high to display properly so for the longest time me and my brother thought he was just invulnerable and kept giving up instantly. We convinced ourselves that only the Ultima Keyblade could hurt him, spent hours farming materials to forget it, still "couldn't hurt him". Got bored and kept attacking anyway, eventually saw his HP depleting
Maminha Nox Fair enough but, I feel a bat wing sprouting from Cloud for no legitimate or explained reason is a bit weird. But it is also a bit weird that Cloud would purposely handicap himself like that.
Technically speaking he does and he doesn't. It's because the programming between cinemetics and "real time game world" aka when you're controlling and playing are different. During programming certain things are done by different people or at different times or with a different engineer group. So no it's not style or anything childish like that 😆 you just assume the Japanese wanna throw knives and wings onto a guy just for style? Comes across slightly borderline stereotype racist bro lol. It's just the fact the game has many different hands involved and many different heads in various departments of development that don't give the same uniform direction to every single dev so unfortunately the poor guy stick with the last couple minutes here didn't get clouds costume memo
I was 92 born kid. My cousin had a demo of FF7 on the PS1. He was a 87 born. So, I heard of Cloud and such because of the demo. But never heard of Sephiroth before until KH. Maybe because I was too young in the 90s to experience him.
@Jackal Strife To be fair,in all probability the dude`s bi at the very least.I mean the only females he shows any interest in are his "mother"(Whom he worships) and his adoptive sister(Whom he murdered in cold blood)and he`s obsessed with Cloud.
@@AspieMediaBobby nigga what he has no sexuality because first off he's dead and second off he's a God he has no time or need for human pleasures and the only reason he shows a bunch of attention to cloud is because cloud was his friend and ends up becoming possessed and wanting nothing more to kill cloud and anyone related to cloud
@thefreshprincer Sephiroth was never EVER real friends with Cloud tf? He was only a friend to Zack, Angeal, and Genesis. The reason Sephiroth is obsessed with Cloud was because Cloud defeated him in 7. The reason he fucks with Cloud in the game is just so he can get what he wants. Other than that Sephiroth was never friends with Cloud. Cloud simply admired him before the Nibelheim incident.
I remember watching my dad play through kingdom hearts. One day, I got to see him take on sephiroth. At the time, I didn't know who sephiroth was. Funny thing, that same day was also the first time I heard my dad swear.
The first time I came across this, I felt genuine fear. Even knowing that Lance Bass from NSYNC is his voice actor here, I still remember how much time and effort I put into beating him. I didn't ever expect to run into Sephiroth again, and this put me into a real survival state.
I remember the first time I fought sephiroth in kh2 I was so amazed on how op he was and how much I had to grind and gain abilities to actually stand a chance 😭
In hindsight this battle from 2001 was one of the first difficult bosses in RPG games period. Like this was long before Dark Souls, God of War 4, Nioh, etc., yet Square Enix delivered a truly challenging (but still beatable) boss fight.
branj18 sitting there holding guard obviously, guard wasn't meant to just be an impenetrable way to sit there being a bitch taking hits, guard was always more useful when timed and done in coordination with the actual attack rather than pre emptively blocking it. When timed and used as more of a "deflect" it gave the opportunity to either get out of danger with glide or a small window to inflict damage if straight offense was too tricky. This is the style of fighting you needed for the immune boss's who only took damage at certain times or after a certain amount of hits and damage dealt, those bosses were mostly immobile meaning you could run away and heal like a bitch because they couldn't chase you down and then charge back in like a moron and get your ass handed to you some more
branj18 yes. The true purpose of guard is to deflect, stun and make some kind of opening or buy time. Atleast of all my years playing hearts that was always the most proficient way to use guard. I spent most of the fight with sephiroth deflecting to make openings and then basically dodge rolling the rest of the time. Sounds harder but it's really not, when you start dodging constantly the boss "A.I" has to chase you down so you're automatically in the power position despite maybe being weaker. You force him to chase you for damage so that each time he lunges for you he's taking the bait because you know how his moves works, the way to get around it and then hit him, then run and repeat. Takes time but winning the fight barely being touched is alot more impressive than the guys who just buy items to cheat through it.
Me first time playing : Oh hey, this silver haired guy kinda looks familiar, where have I seen him befo- *One-Winged Angel kicks in* Me : *PTSD immediately kicks in*
I remember playing final fantasy 7 on ps1 when I was a kid and with my first kingdom hearts game I wasn’t aware he was in the game. Safe to say when I heard that badass music hit, I froze and died in about 20 seconds. But it was cool he was in KH1 and KH2 even though I had to go ultra try-hard to win
I remember when I first did this fight. I didnt know who Sephiroth was, I just clicked on the fight and thought it was eerie, I ran up to him and got dusted in one hit. It took me so long to eventually beat him.
I dont remember how many times I lost to Sephiroth but I leveled up all the way to 100 with the Ultimate Key Blade and still he was a challenge. Felt so accomplished when I beat him.
Never heard of Sephiroth before KH1, so I remember my exact thoughts the first time I encountered him here: "I think Im gonna die" hahahaha good memories, beat him after gearing up, getting the right set up, and after a few attemps. I wish games nowadays would make me feel the same way this game made me feel back then, but adulting...
I had never heard of him either as a kid. Walked into the Platinum Match around level 60~ thinking I was hot shit for being able to beat the game, then he slashes me thrice in the first few seconds of the fight and kills me. One of the few times a younger me was genuinely humbled by a game.
You know, Kingdom Hearts is one of the few games I ever played in front of my mom. It's one of the few video games she actually really liked and enjoyed. I remember the first time I fought Sephiroth. She actually told me that he scares her. I don't know if it was his presentation, or the music, or both, but yeah, it was a memorable comment from her back then. She also thought some of the giant Heartless were scary too.
My funniest highlight for this game was seeing the question marks, thinking it was just a random mission, and then I randomly fought Sephiroth. Literally dropped my controller, he beat my ass in ten seconds, and then I laughed so hard afterwards for two minutes Literally had no idea he was in the game 😂. I never did beat him, but it was still my favorite moment from my forty hour, first time playthrough
Oh god I remember this. I could beat him using the original key blade. Just block and run basically hit and run tactics. And when he does the hp drain you don't have to keep healing you have to attack him that's a openning. So he can't do it.
shinjieva omg like the one person on here who fought this guy correctly lol. All these people are acting impressed this guy got his ass whooped and took so much damage.. if you need to heal atleast be good enough to have all the magic you need to do it, rather than dumping everything into elixirs and literally pulling the pussy bitch win that took no skill or logic. Just sad
@@donovanfel5660 Why are you acting like some elite that thinks there's a "correct" way to handle a boss fight. It's a fucking video game, dude, get off your high horse and stop commenting all over the comment section like some pompous 'holier than thou' figure. There's no right or wrong way to play a video game. They're to have fun and that's what this guy was doing. Get over yourself. Your attitude is literally an insult to gaming.
Kid in clown shoes and a giant key for a sword: "Yeah, I got this." Sephiroth's lazy bad voice actor with no direction: "time to die" _fire explosion_ (one of my lingering regrets that followed into my adult life: not beating Sephiroth in Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2)
George Newborn on the other hand was an amazing Sephiroth voice actor. I'm talking about the guy that voiced him for KH2, Advent Children, FF Dissidia games, etc. Shame he didn't return for the FFVII remake.
Oh Kingdom Hearts 1 how I love thee, that tagline for the first game _"you'll never know who you'll into next"_ was 100% the truth. Its surprise factors like this boss fight that both Kingdom Hearts 2 and 3 are lacking
Sora would be more concerned if he could hear the music
Yes! 0:27
Lolol foreal he would piss his pants
300th-3rd-3rd-3rd like!!! :3

The moment i realized who it was, i let out one singular gulp
Came here after he kicked me arse. Was like I did no damage and I'm higher level.
*oh boy is he a pain in the ass. Just like terra boi*
I hadn't played Final Fantasy VII before Kingdom Hearts, and when I first fought Sephiroth I thought I was fighting the literal Devil.
The arena ring is small and his sword can reach the moon... Real fair
Messatsu Dragon still not that hard to avoid lol, just avoid his moves? The bosses and fights in kingdom hearts are incredibly predictable
its possible just really hard you need be very strategic in this fight he makes most of the other boss fights other than other secret bosses look like normal enemies 3 hardest i beleive were him the clock tower and the one in agrabah
Rotten Cheerio every KH player has the dodge roll mentality. Roll until safety then atk; then roll away from danger. Repeat until boss is defeated.
I blame Mysterious Figure
I took the OC’s comment at face value: stating something not asking for help or complaining that he/she can’t do it.
While this might be unintentional, Sephiroth is pretty consistently left handed, which means in this fight he purposefully uses his right hand just to go easy on Sora which I think is a neat detail.
oh god
In Dark Soul, there is one boss "knight artorias" who is left handed and have some similarities with sephiros
He definitely doesn’t consider Sora a threat.
How the fuck would that be the case here? He’d only appeared in low poly psx form before this. And he’s in a rock for most of that game anyways.
WHAAAAAAT?!?! HE WAS GOING EASY?!?!?!?! WHAT THE HECK!!!
And then, after 500 failed attempts, you have the revalation:
"Sephiroth is left-handed... he's just toying with you."
and he isnt using his safer form or supernova.
No wait I thought he was right handed and whenever he uses his left it’s to intimidate his opponent and get into their head that this isn’t even his best
@@Maestoso28 That's Auron, who never uses his left arm because he doesn't need to and lets it sling in his coat even though it is perfectly fine.

"See I know something you do not... I am left handed too!!"
Princess bride.
HELLO! My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die!
Sephiroth was 100 times harder than the final boss lol
Yeah, that's how super bosses tend to work in RPGs...
Him and Cloud are on a completely different level than anything else in that universe. every time they fight they warp out of space-time ffs
Anything less would be an insult to the One Winged Angel.
Agreed.
Weird because I remember wiping the floor with sephiroth even on top difficulty but ironically some of the dumbass tricks from the last few series of "final boss" fights had me trying much harder
Imagine this was a fair fight...
where Sephiroth is allowed to heal too.
Lancer where sephiroth can heal and you can enter god mode and throw meteors
id love that, im level 100 with ultima so thatd be awesome
Its often in JRPGs that you can heal and your opponent has much more hp that you.
Goes to show that if Sora DIDN’T heal, he would stand no chance against Sephiroth
Then we would be so fucked lol that why his health are more than 1 full health bar
Sephiroth was the one who trained us for Dark Souls.
Tried beating him at low levels. It’s even harder than Dark Souls bosses.
As much pain as this fight and the Dark Souls series brought me throughout my life, if there was somehow a Sephiroth boss fight in Dark Souls I would be incredibly erect.

All good. You're part of the fandom now. Welcome.
Actually, it's because I didn't know him before this game that I love him now. He was my first real boss fight and challenge.

He is but at the same time. depending on your level...you are free to do certain things..you can tell He is at a decently high level because the attacks aren't hurting him that much or it could be the difficulty as well.
One thing is certain...and that's that he has done his research and clearly has the materials for all or the accessory shop items etc..which helps with stats etc
This pussy is obviously on beginner
Took me 11 years to beat him
you serious
Sterling Raynor I could never beat him as a kid, then I bought a PS4 this year got 1.5 and 2.5 remix and beat him after a few attempts
+sora roxas how old are you now
Sterling Raynor 20
Julian Salerno sure was, doing a proud mode playthrough now
Anyone come here just to listen to One-Winged Angel?
momokol366 i did
I learned about him from a comment on an _American Dad_ Stelio Kontos video! I finally decided to search him up and watch, and especially seeing his eponymous-like theme song be in gothic I saw it. 😈
Sure, if you enjoy hearing HEH! HAH! KAUH! HUH! MYAH! HEAL! HA! HYUH!
If I did, I'd search the song itself.
No since i dont like the kh version of one winged angel. I rather listen to the original or advent children one
I remember this enemy. So far most battles were easy at the coliseum but this was next level. I was 13 at the time, never played Final fantasy (and still haven't). So I didn't know him, but I knew that you have to be hard if you have your own soundtrack saying your name over and over. I battled and lost and tried and tried again. Every time edging closer, learning his patterns, what worked and what not. I had no youtube or guides or anything like that. Took me around a full day of gaming to beating him (7hours in my sofa, trying over and over). The next day, I told my cousin I had taken him down. He didn't believe me.
And my guess is this was around the time that the only way to know that you beat him is if the beginning cutscene of when Sephiroth doesn't happen. No "One Winged Angel" keyblade.
(p.s. not to brag but.. i kinda beat Sephiroth at the age of 5, my brother knows)
@@faeronix if that's true, then you sir are allowed to brag about this feat
Now is the time where playing a final fantasy game for the first time. FFVII Remake is an amazing game.
@@dodid0 the "not to brag" part implies it's a lie lol
The first time I ever met Sephiroth. From the instant that music hit, I knew this man was a legend.
Sephiroth sounded like a surfer dude in the first game but then again his voice actor was a singer in a band.
Lance Bass.
I didn't mind his voice, it just didn't fit Sephiroth. I always imagined Sephiroth's voice as being a lot deeper and more gravelly, Lance Bass would have been better as Cloud or someone younger.
Ugh hell no to Cloud. No way to say this, but Cloud's VA is undisputed for his character so hell no to anyone who would replace him. I rather see Lance better off as a different Final Fantasy or Kingdom Hearts character. Maybe as Zell or Genesis or Kuja. Also, to admit it, his N'SYNC musics were way better than the nowadays musics.
Like Tim Curry voicing Sephiroth?
Well, to be fair, his original voice actor George Newbern came back for Kingdom Hearts II.
Technically it was Lance Bass the original VA for Sephiroth. George Newbern is basically a recast for Sephiroth and then ever since he's been playing him for a long time. Hopefully he'll still reprise for the ff7remake and then every of future adaption games that has Sephiroth in it.
Was level 40 when I tried fighting this guy. One basic attack from his
sword was a 1 hit KO while it took me 5 whole minutes to drop his first
health bar. Took me 57 tries to knock him down to his last health bar
only for him to enter that bs god mode...
Watching this video
made me realized how much time and controllers I could have saved
perfecting the art of dodge rolling and guarding if I had only grinded
for just a bit longer in every world.
vidant829 LMAO same tho. I remember doing platinum and barely making it to that fight and he hit me once and I died instantly I couldn't stop laughing 😂
I respect you for fighting him at level 40, but wtf why would you do that to yourself.
shoulda specced Second Wind, i fought him at max level and still had a super rough time without it.
People in this comment section:
“You’re never getting Sora in Smash bc you lost to Sephiroth in Kingdom Hearts multiple times LUL.”
Sora after his Smash Reveal today: “AM I A JOKE TO YOU?”
Plot twist: sephiroth defeated sora in a bet for smash and at this point you're never getting sora for smash
Edit: MOM I'M FAMOUS!!!!
and yeah I know lol
I feel like next week, Sakurai will announce that Sora is a Mii Fighter costume.

And sora said I give up in kingdom hearts

After all these years, this still gives me chills in both the best and worst of ways.

This did not age well, because.... y’know.
@@athing.7892 y'know what?
@@manuelalbertoromero9528 dbza was canceled.
This was the start for me.... This was my first time seeing him... I was a kid. Couldn’t even pronounce his name. I knew he must have been a big deal considering the big entrance and the badass music....
I didn’t understand how much danger I was in back then.... I understand now...
Same here
Me to
Me too. Never heard of him as a kid
He goes easy on you here don't worry. Sorta like entertainment for him.
After all these years… reunited IN SMASH
YEESSSS
To this day the crowning jewel to my gaming experience has and always will be my showdown with sephiroth, I played probably over 1000 hours of KH and following a couple victories against sephiroth I figured I should craft the ultima weapon and attempt my best run at him yet. I had fought him so many times that I memorized every animation and move that he could do and it finally happened. With the help of the ultimate weapon and being level 100 I beat sephiroth taking zero damage in the process. I will never accomplish more in a game ever in my life
I felt the same way when I played Ace Combat 4 on Ace difficulty and cleared the game without taking a single hit
That fucking moment when Sephiroth fucking rushes towards you as you use an Elixir due to his Heartless Angel attack
That makes you feel greater terror than any horror game ever will.
@@manofdaboijerry7687 You know, for kids!
12 year old me didn’t deserve to be DOMINATED this hard.
😂😂😂I was 12 too good times
"He's got syphilis, give the man Mac and cheese. He's got syphilis, give the man mac and cheese, SEPHIROTH"
Edit: never had over 100 liked before. Lucky me! And this was just a throw away comment I put
Misheard lyrics win
Well that's weird
One word, HILARIOUS!!!😂🤣
I’d pity him if that was the actual lyrics
POV you just saw the Smash reveal trailer, and this is just PTSD flashbacks
Especially after Sora got in Smash too
Sora: My friends are my power!
Also Sora:
*Solo kills Sepiroth*
two times xd
Survives
FORGET IT MY ULTIMA SWORD AND HEAL ARE MY POWER
The power of friendship is bullshit, the power of swords and violence, thats where the money is!
@@thiguy135 "I'll defeat you with the power of violence" now that a great line
The reason this battle is so good is because even when you level up to 100, he is still fun and challenging. You don't mind playing him over and over again. The developers really hit the home run.
*finishes the literal hardest fight in the game”
Sora: THATS THE POWER OF THE KEYBLADE
I remember that his HP was too high to display properly so for the longest time me and my brother thought he was just invulnerable and kept giving up instantly. We convinced ourselves that only the Ultima Keyblade could hurt him, spent hours farming materials to forget it, still "couldn't hurt him". Got bored and kept attacking anyway, eventually saw his HP depleting
That's what I'm thinking, did you eventually beat him?
Now we can do this in smash whenever we want.
We can now have a rematch of this battle in smash bros ultimate
OH THE REVENGE IS COMING
That's the fucking reason why this video is getting so much attention just now
7:46 Does anyone want to talk about why Cloud has a random bat wing for the rest of this fight scene or no?
Sorid Snaked That's one of those things that's better to go along whit, rather than question how in hell happened.
It's just style man, same thing with that buster sword, why the hell would someone do that with a freaking bladed weapon?
Maminha Nox Fair enough but, I feel a bat wing sprouting from Cloud for no legitimate or explained reason is a bit weird. But it is also a bit weird that Cloud would purposely handicap himself like that.
Technically speaking he does and he doesn't. It's because the programming between cinemetics and "real time game world" aka when you're controlling and playing are different. During programming certain things are done by different people or at different times or with a different engineer group. So no it's not style or anything childish like that 😆 you just assume the Japanese wanna throw knives and wings onto a guy just for style? Comes across slightly borderline stereotype racist bro lol.
It's just the fact the game has many different hands involved and many different heads in various departments of development that don't give the same uniform direction to every single dev so unfortunately the poor guy stick with the last couple minutes here didn't get clouds costume memo
Slightly borderline stereotype racist.... What in the fuck did I just read.
Well, you and I know why we are in here today.
Wow, that is one cursed Furby
Aw yeah
Yup sadly
@@aryasecretabsolu665 "Sadly"? What, were you expecting Sora instead, my guy? 🤨
Yes, me and you have a spine exchange to finish.
I feel bad for anyone who didn't get to experience Sephiroth in FF7 first. So iconic.
I was 92 born kid. My cousin had a demo of FF7 on the PS1. He was a 87 born. So, I heard of Cloud and such because of the demo. But never heard of Sephiroth before until KH. Maybe because I was too young in the 90s to experience him.
I’m ready to re-play this after 20 years.
I recently did a replay on the ps2 and I wouldn’t touch that fight until I had the Ultima Weapon and even then it took me 2-3 tries to get it right
I will love this game forever it was way too ahead of its time 😭
Can't believe we've realized that the Sephiroth we just fought in KH1 was a gay member of N'SYNC.
Jackal Strife thamk goodness we got George Newburn. He's perfect for the role.
@Jackal Strife To be fair,in all probability the dude`s bi at the very least.I mean the only females he shows any interest in are his "mother"(Whom he worships) and his adoptive sister(Whom he murdered in cold blood)and he`s obsessed with Cloud.
@@AspieMediaBobby nigga what he has no sexuality because first off he's dead and second off he's a God he has no time or need for human pleasures and the only reason he shows a bunch of attention to cloud is because cloud was his friend and ends up becoming possessed and wanting nothing more to kill cloud and anyone related to cloud
@thefreshprincer Sephiroth was never EVER real friends with Cloud tf? He was only a friend to Zack, Angeal, and Genesis. The reason Sephiroth is obsessed with Cloud was because Cloud defeated him in 7. The reason he fucks with Cloud in the game is just so he can get what he wants. Other than that Sephiroth was never friends with Cloud. Cloud simply admired him before the Nibelheim incident.
@Anarcha Media
Lmao I literally thought you talking about the NSYNC band member murdering his adoptive sister at first 😂
This is literally how his Smash Trailer felt like lol, so fucking surprising
I think you can apply that to Sora's Smash Trailer too now that you think of it.
@@MarcSola7 Absolutely. I thought it was going to be Dark Souls first with that campfire and all that. But then… *Xehanort Voice* Keyblade!
I remember watching my dad play through kingdom hearts. One day, I got to see him take on sephiroth. At the time, I didn't know who sephiroth was. Funny thing, that same day was also the first time I heard my dad swear.
The first time I came across this, I felt genuine fear. Even knowing that Lance Bass from NSYNC is his voice actor here, I still remember how much time and effort I put into beating him. I didn't ever expect to run into Sephiroth again, and this put me into a real survival state.
I remember the first time I fought sephiroth in kh2 I was so amazed on how op he was and how much I had to grind and gain abilities to actually stand a chance 😭
In hindsight this battle from 2001 was one of the first difficult bosses in RPG games period. Like this was long before Dark Souls, God of War 4, Nioh, etc., yet Square Enix delivered a truly challenging (but still beatable) boss fight.
2002*
Play more rpgs please
Bro does not know about other rpgs
Sakurai defeating both sephiroth and cloud with Sora was symbolic of this.
So guard is just not a thing here. Also dodging fire? Not a thing.
I heard guard doesn't help that much.
branj18 sitting there holding guard obviously, guard wasn't meant to just be an impenetrable way to sit there being a bitch taking hits, guard was always more useful when timed and done in coordination with the actual attack rather than pre emptively blocking it. When timed and used as more of a "deflect" it gave the opportunity to either get out of danger with glide or a small window to inflict damage if straight offense was too tricky. This is the style of fighting you needed for the immune boss's who only took damage at certain times or after a certain amount of hits and damage dealt, those bosses were mostly immobile meaning you could run away and heal like a bitch because they couldn't chase you down and then charge back in like a moron and get your ass handed to you some more
Ahhh i gotcha. Now that is a better breakdown of how it should be used.
branj18 yes. The true purpose of guard is to deflect, stun and make some kind of opening or buy time. Atleast of all my years playing hearts that was always the most proficient way to use guard. I spent most of the fight with sephiroth deflecting to make openings and then basically dodge rolling the rest of the time. Sounds harder but it's really not, when you start dodging constantly the boss "A.I" has to chase you down so you're automatically in the power position despite maybe being weaker. You force him to chase you for damage so that each time he lunges for you he's taking the bait because you know how his moves works, the way to get around it and then hit him, then run and repeat. Takes time but winning the fight barely being touched is alot more impressive than the guys who just buy items to cheat through it.
You can guard his sword. You just need a Keyblade that has a high recoil stat, like Ultima, Olympia, or Divine Rose.
*Sephiroth enters*
*One Winged Angel kicks in*
*Boss fight begins*
"Let's fucking go-aaaand I'm dead."
I have played a LOT of games
Ive faced a LOT of bosses over my lifetime
to this day
this is still the hardest boss fight Ive ever faced
Sephiroth’s health finally starts lowering: “….ow.”
Fun fact: You are actually fighting Lance Bass. He is the actual one winged angel
garbage
Ah yes before I played FF7 and was like "who the hell is this guy" as a kid.
For a second I thought it was young ansem when I was a kid...
At least you played the original game and not a emulator
Same. Never heard of him, never really played FF when I was little. But I did remember Cloud because my cousin had FF7 as a demo for PS1.
people before smash ultimate: OMG THIS BOSS FIGHT IS HARD
people now: Sephiroth killed sora and took his invitation for smash
Homie needed to see his boyfriend again
Smash needed more villains anyway. I'm staying positive!
Yeah...... About that....
@@M8RX2176 🗝️👌
The moment I heard this music in the smash trailer I was immediately reminded of this fight. RIP Sora's chances though :'(
Boy.... Do I have news for you..
Aged well
Me first time playing : Oh hey, this silver haired guy kinda looks familiar, where have I seen him befo-
*One-Winged Angel kicks in*
Me : *PTSD immediately kicks in*
6:22 “that’s the power of the keyblade!”
*I almost fucking died :,)*
My god this guy was a trolltastic bastard in KH1.
I can see why he was softened a bit in KH2
be glad they didn't make a fight where you fought him, cloud, squall and axel lol that would be a difficult fight
Blueboy0 did he appear in KH1?
Sora: THAT'S thE PoWER of The KeY BlAdE
Sephiroth: *you only won because of some dumb fruit*
Now I can reenact this in Smash!
Who’s here after sephiroth was announced for smash ?
You all know why you’re here
yes
To see more toxic comments
I remember playing final fantasy 7 on ps1 when I was a kid and with my first kingdom hearts game I wasn’t aware he was in the game. Safe to say when I heard that badass music hit, I froze and died in about 20 seconds. But it was cool he was in KH1 and KH2 even though I had to go ultra try-hard to win
Got to be the hardest sephiroth battle in the kh series.
I remember when I first did this fight. I didnt know who Sephiroth was, I just clicked on the fight and thought it was eerie, I ran up to him and got dusted in one hit.
It took me so long to eventually beat him.
I dont remember how many times I lost to Sephiroth but I leveled up all the way to 100 with the Ultimate Key Blade and still he was a challenge. Felt so accomplished when I beat him.
Never heard of Sephiroth before KH1, so I remember my exact thoughts the first time I encountered him here: "I think Im gonna die" hahahaha good memories, beat him after gearing up, getting the right set up, and after a few attemps. I wish games nowadays would make me feel the same way this game made me feel back then, but adulting...
Go play god of war on god of war difficulty against that mother of valkyries
I had never heard of him either as a kid. Walked into the Platinum Match around level 60~ thinking I was hot shit for being able to beat the game, then he slashes me thrice in the first few seconds of the fight and kills me. One of the few times a younger me was genuinely humbled by a game.
Try octopath traveler if you want a JRPG with the same grinding-felt final boss
Best boss fight in that game, and I did it without cheesing him.
You know, Kingdom Hearts is one of the few games I ever played in front of my mom. It's one of the few video games she actually really liked and enjoyed. I remember the first time I fought Sephiroth. She actually told me that he scares her. I don't know if it was his presentation, or the music, or both, but yeah, it was a memorable comment from her back then.
She also thought some of the giant Heartless were scary too.
I remember how proud of myself I was when I beat him for the first time.
I totally had FF7 PTSD when Sephiroth showed up in this battle.
My funniest highlight for this game was seeing the question marks, thinking it was just a random mission, and then I randomly fought Sephiroth. Literally dropped my controller, he beat my ass in ten seconds, and then I laughed so hard afterwards for two minutes
Literally had no idea he was in the game 😂. I never did beat him, but it was still my favorite moment from my forty hour, first time playthrough
Oh god I remember this. I could beat him using the original key blade. Just block and run basically hit and run tactics. And when he does the hp drain you don't have to keep healing you have to attack him that's a openning. So he can't do it.
shinjieva omg like the one person on here who fought this guy correctly lol. All these people are acting impressed this guy got his ass whooped and took so much damage.. if you need to heal atleast be good enough to have all the magic you need to do it, rather than dumping everything into elixirs and literally pulling the pussy bitch win that took no skill or logic. Just sad
@@donovanfel5660 Why are you acting like some elite that thinks there's a "correct" way to handle a boss fight. It's a fucking video game, dude, get off your high horse and stop commenting all over the comment section like some pompous 'holier than thou' figure. There's no right or wrong way to play a video game. They're to have fun and that's what this guy was doing. Get over yourself. Your attitude is literally an insult to gaming.
To be fair, the guy is really bad at the game
Well boys we did it, we got our Kingdom Hearts rep:
Sephiroth
More like another Final Fantasy rep but I'm not complaining
Now soras here
I bet those no sora in smash people are enjoying the circus with all the other clowns
The top comment is the ring leader lol
3:00 Sephiroth: try bouncing back from this!
Sora: *uses basically a Full Restore*
Sephiroth: *Surprised Pikachu face.JPG*
I remember as a kid, I tried this boss, died in 15 seconds, and never tried him again for almost 18 years
Well looks like they can have their rematch in Smash
Fun fact: Lance from Nsync voiced Sephiroth in this game.
You’re shitting me. Lance Bass? That’s badass
Kid in clown shoes and a giant key for a sword: "Yeah, I got this."
Sephiroth's lazy bad voice actor with no direction: "time to die" _fire explosion_
(one of my lingering regrets that followed into my adult life: not beating Sephiroth in Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2)
George Newborn on the other hand was an amazing Sephiroth voice actor. I'm talking about the guy that voiced him for KH2, Advent Children, FF Dissidia games, etc. Shame he didn't return for the FFVII remake.
I actually really like this voice
4:26 HOLY FUCK I never realised how trully insane this fight was
My man's in smash now
Oh Kingdom Hearts 1 how I love thee, that tagline for the first game _"you'll never know who you'll into next"_ was 100% the truth. Its surprise factors like this boss fight that both Kingdom Hearts 2 and 3 are lacking
Who's here after the Smash reveal?

Yuppers.
shut up smash sucks
Kingdom hearts was Dark Souls before Dark Souls was Dark Souls
