hey everyone zian over here from
nintendo life now sakurai just wrapped
up his presentation on the latest super
smash bros ultimate fighter
which is sephiroth and we just found out
that he is going to be released on
december 22nd for 5.99
us but this time around sakurai decided
to handle the release of the latest
fighter a little differently
and not only is it a super cool way to
release the new character
we can also get him a little early
anyone who's purchased the super smash
bros ultimate fighter's past 2
or even just the separate challenger
pack 8 for sephiroth can participate in
a limited time event
called the sephiroth challenge as long
as you have your game updated when you
boot up the main menu
in the top left screen you'll actually
see an option up there called the
sephiroth
challenge now if you hit the plus button
you'll actually get entered into a
screen
that looks very reminiscent of something
that you would find in final fantasy
on the screen you'll see three different
difficulty settings easy
normal and very hard and once you decide
on a difficulty you get thrown into the
character select screen
and then you're just given the chance to
fight sephiroth one on one
but instead of having percentages or
stock you actually just have a
health bar and as long as you can land a
finishing blow he's yours to fight with
along with his new
stage and new music and in my opinion
this is such
an awesome way to handle a new character
normally when a new character comes out
you just
purchase the dlc or you already have it
purchased and once you update the game
bam you just
have the character unlocked but for
anyone who remembers the good old days
of unlocking characters in melee and
even brawl
it was one of the best parts of the game
especially because i've never
been great at smash i absolutely love
the game to death
but i've always enjoyed the celebration
of the game of the characters way more
than
trying to compete to be the very best
because i'm just not
but in sakurai's latest presentation he
said that they wanted to try and do
something different
and with sephiroth being a boss
character a villain
they thought it'd be a lot more fun to
try and actually make you take him down
instead and i really hope that nintendo
and sakurai continue this
idea in the future now this special
sephiroth challenge event is also only
available from december 17th
until december 22nd so after that point
it sounds like
if you have the dlc purchased you'll
just unlock him on the 22nd if you don't
want to fight
him or or if you can't take him down for
some reason but i'll tell you like i
said i'm not very good at the game and i
managed to beat him on
all three difficulties granted he did sd
in very hard mode but i'll take it it's
fine a win is a win
and then like i mentioned before as well
you do unlock the new northern cave
stage
along with sephiroth and i think nine
new tracks are coming to the game and i
think i
saw i like glanced at it briefly but i
believe there's even like two versions
of one winged angel
and jenova's in there which is the music
we're using in the background right now
there's some good good stuff in there
and i believe four of the tracks i saw
are new arrangements too
so they they put a lot of effort into
this character
i'm so pleased but enough about what i
have to say we want to hear what you
think feel free to let us know in the
comments down below how you think
sakurai and nintendo handled this whole
new release for sephiroth do you like
the idea of fighting
a boss to unlock the character would you
rather just have it unlock on
the day that it's supposed to i feel
like the answer is obvious at this point
but
we'd love to hear what you have to say
and as always if you enjoyed this video
and you want to see more content like
this
then why don't you go ahead and slice
that subscribe button in half with a
masamune
and then ring that notification bell to
be notified whenever we release new
videos
and if you for some reason don't want to
be playing as sephiroth right now and
you want to
watch more videos right now we actually
have a video that john put up yesterday
predicting what me fighter costumes
would be coming along with
sephiroth and he actually predicted
quite a few of them so go give that a
watch
otherwise stay safe out there and we
will see you next time
you
