Official Sephiroth PSA/Move Set Thread

[Aafyre]

Alright, I was told to start up a new thread for the Sephiroth PSA since the s o u l z e r o can't work on it anymore. So far, the only members are myself, ShadowMarth, and Pein0Akatsuki. Since our team is still so small, we could use all the help we can get. If you want to join the team, just tell me what you want to work on and I'll talk to Sumire about adding you.

So far, BigBadBooya already helped us out with the Final Smash. I do think it needs to be weaker and have less range but the visuals are awesome. The only thing left for his Final Smash that would make him perfect is letting him fly around for a little bit with his wing either after he uses the smash or while he's holding the smash ball.

Team Members:

PSA: ShadowMarth
Animations: Pein0Akatsuki
Idea and Moveset Manager: Aafyre (I'd love to help out with anything else if I'm needed)

Move Set Ideas:

  Final Fantasy VII - Sephiroth (over Marth)

This could be a good run for him:

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

Some of Sephiroth's smash attacks could be cool with Ganondorf's shadow effects.

Sephiroth has ridiculous range with most of his attacks, including his grabs. That is the entire point of him. To keep him from being broken, maybe he'll have a tip property like Marth, where the whole middle section of his sword deals very little damage and has very little stunning capabilities.

Sephiroth will have three jumps, allowing him to perform better in the air.

His fall speed should be somewhat slow and floaty, like Melee Mewtwo's. However, pressing down allows him to fall much faster.

Rolling out of his shield could be a teleportation thing, with as much distance as Melee Mewtwo's roll.

If possible, it would be nice for him to be able to both wall-jump and wall-cling. I'm sure this is not possible, but being able to run up walls would be pretty badass too.

Cool quotes that could be ripped from Dissidia:

Weak Attacks:
A Combo
A series of slashes.

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

Forward Tilt
Sephiroth performs a series of attacks with his sword, his fists, and his legs. Like a cross between Ike's Neutral A combo and Snake's Forward Tilt combo. The last strike of this will be the only one with significant knockback.

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

Up Tilt
Sephiroth swings his sword to shoot out some rather weak air blades diagonally up. This will play very similarly to the CoN Naruto PSA's Kunai attack. Marth's Up Tilt animation would work well for this.

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

Down Tilt
Ike's Down Tilt would probably be fine, as long as the range in increased.

Running A
Maybe kind of like Marth's.

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

Allows you to lead into some of your A combos, like so:

Smash Attacks:
Forward Smash
Sephiroth performs a slash similar to Link's Forward Smash animation. But the longer you charge this, the more strikes he performs, which could end up looking a lot like Marth's full Forward B combo, except that he would travel a further distance while attacking. This attack can have Ganondorf's shadow effect.

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

Up Smash
Pretty much the same as Ike's, just faster and weaker. Fast enough so that his Up Tilt can sometimes set the opponent up for it.

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

Down Smash
Sephiroth holds his sword up and stabs it into the ground. Very similar to Ike's Neutral B, even the animation can be the same. But instead of fire, there can be that green lifestream stuff, with bits of earth/rocks cracking up, kind of like this:

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

Specials:
Neutral B
Sephiroth summons a meteor that shoots diagonally down. The longer you charge, the greater distance the meteor travels. For example, just tap B, and it comes down right in front of you. Charge it for a bit, and it comes down like in this gif:

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

If performed in the air, there is no charge up, and it shoots out a bunch of weaker meteors.

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

Forward B
Maybe something like Zelda's Forward B. You will control a little shiny thing, but when you let go, it will explode into shadowy spheres.

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

Up B
Extremely similar to Lucario's. Sephiroth enters a flying state that lasts maybe a second. There will be a brief start-up time where you choose the initial direction you want to go in. You can also attack out of it and use whatever remaining jumps you have afterwards.

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

Down B
Sephiroth summons a giant pillar of fire around him. The longer you charge, the more pillars there will be, with a maximum of three (the second pillar will be in front of him, the third will be in back). These pillars pull the opponent toward them and keep the opponent trapped for a second or two while burning him (like Ness' PK Fire). Good at racking up damage, but little knockback. Maybe Ho-oh or Entai's fire could work for this (though obviously much weaker than either).

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

Grabs:
Grab
Sephiroth pulls his sword back then thrusts it in a given direction (Forward, Up, Diagonally Up, or Diagonally Down), impaling the enemy. This will have a slow start-up time, like Samus', giving the player a chance to choose which direction he will stab in. Marth's Neutral B is a pretty perfect animation for this.

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

Aerial Grab
Works the same as his ground grab, but it will always stab upwards, and automatically fling the opponent downwards. This could be a good spiking move.

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

Pummel
Sephiroth twists his sword while the enemy is impaled.

Forward Throw
Sephiroth pulls his sword back and kicks the opponent off of it.

Back Throw
Sephiroth turns around and performs Marth's forward smash animation (or something like it), flinging the opponent off his sword.

Up Throw
Sephiroth flings his opponent upward off his sword.

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

Down Throw
Sephiroth slams his opponent into the ground, pulls his sword out of him, and then stabs him again.

Aerial Attacks:
Neutral A
Marth's Neutral A in the air could work fine for this. Just up the range.

Forward A
Sephiroth swings his sword downward, very much like Ike's Forward A in the air.

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

Back A
Marth's arial Back A should work fine, just with increased range.

Up A
Sephiroth rapidly stabs upwards. Little to no knockback, but good at racking up damage.

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

Down A
What Sephiroth does when he kills a certain someone. Think Toon Link's. It can even use Link's exact animation. One of his main killing moves. If he hits the ground with it, it can cause the earth to crack up and green lifestream stuff to come out.

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

Final Smash:
Sephiroth enters a state similar to Super Sonic, where he can fly around and perform his attacks (Unlike Sonic, just touching the opponent will not hurt them).

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

His Neutral B becomes a slash attack, and if you connect with it, it leads to a cinematic attack (similar to Captain Falcon's if possible) like this:

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

Also, I doubt this is possible, but if Sephiroth could grow a wing while in this mode, that would be badass.

[Cataly5t]

Looking foward to this! Finally, sephiroth being made into brawl hopefully. I support this project all the way. ^^ Make this as epic as he can be.

[tenkashi]

what do you guys have done so far? also his Final smash! very badass! im making people mad everywere!

[BlueBrain]

could i ask u guys to not make him overpowered?

[Link40]

could i ask u guys to not make him overpowered?

Balancing phase comes normally afterthe creation of the PSA. It is easier to do this way.

[fighter20brawler10]

Since Sephiroth has the huge sword i was thinking in the PSA they could make his weapon range bigger

[BlueBrain]

yeah but they already talked about balancing him, by making his close range ttacks a LOT weaker...

i just dont want a god psa...

[Ultraxwing]

well i officially cannot wait, i just hope the sword hit's where it's supposed to...

[BlueBrain]

btw, the up smash idea would fit better in a up throw...

[Ultraxwing]

actually yeah, it would.

[Ct.OWN]

Well this'll be interesting.

[ShadowMarth]

Ill help with the PSA but if you want me to do something U will have to PM me because im still working on my Ultimate ShadowMarth V3 PSA

[Aafyre]

Okay, it's cool to see that we're getting some feedback here. If we changed his Up Smash to his Up Throw, what would you do for his new Up Smash?

[Ct.OWN]

Hmm. Make it something more sephirothy. IDK what since I never played the FF games with him in it. In fact, the only one I have it the first chrystal chronicles. -_-
