 	Name 	Description
Neutral attack 	N/A 	Sephiroth swipes at the opponent with his sword three times.
Forward Tilt 	N/A 	Sephiroth kneels on one knee, then stabs forward.
Up Tilt 	N/A 	Sephiroth quickly slices directly above his head.
Down Tilt 	N/A 	Sephiroth performs a low sweeping spin attack.
Dash Attack 	N/A 	Sephiroth grabs his sword, pauses, and then slashes at the speed of light towards the opponent, appearing before himself afterward. Any opponents caught in the speed will be damaged a great deal, but the move is slow in various areas.
Forward Smash 	N/A 	Sephiroth leaps forward and delivers a strong horizontal slash before leaping back. Deals two strikes, once on the forward leap and once on the backward leap.
Up Smash 	N/A 	Sephiroth levitates with one dark wing showing and delivers a long-range powerful upward slash with his sword.
Down Smash 	N/A 	Sephiroth holds his hand to the sky and says, “crumble at my feet!”, following this, two large dark pillars of stone stab out of the ground on each side of him, dealing large upward knockback to opponents and tossing them up for a follow-up attack.
Neutral Aerial 	N/A 	Sephiroth summons his one dark wing, then puts his hands out as orbs of dark firga circle him rapidly, while saying “perish.”
Forward Aerial 	N/A 	Sephiroth floats midair with his one dark wing and delivers three upward diagonal slashes.
Back Aerial 	N/A 	Sephiroth slices the air behind himself with his one wing, then with a backward stab of his sword allowing for a double hit attack.
Up Aerial 	N/A 	Sephiroth slashes overhead in an arc then does a backflip kick.
Down Aerial 	N/A 	Sephiroth raises his sword above his head and stabs it directly downward. The move is animated similarly to a scene involving him and Aerith from Final Fantasy VII.
Grab 	N/A 	Reaches out with his free hand.
Pummel 	N/A 	A knee strike.
Forward Throw 	N/A 	An elbow strike with his sword arm.
Back Throw 	N/A 	Tosses the opponent over his wing, sending them behind him.
Up Throw 	N/A 	A powerful one-armed upward throw.
Down Throw 	N/A 	Throws opponent to the ground with one arm, bouncing them upwards.
Neutral Special	Black Materia 	Sephiroth extends a hand to the sky and says, “Into the depths of darkness!” His hand then becomes engulfed in Black Magic. A dark cloud appears above Sephiroth where a meteorite falls from the sky and plummets diagonally in front of him. The B button can be pressed repeatedly to send three meteorites each, however, each one has lag in between and can leave Sephiroth open for attacks.
Side Special 	Octaslash 	Sephiroth says, “Shall I give you despair?” as he slashes the air in front of him swiftly, in an attempt to connect with an opponent. Similar to Cloud’s side special, Sephiroth must make contact with the opponent and rapidly press B in order to keep the attack going. If successful, Sephiroth can deliver 8 strikes with this attack, which deals impressive DMG. However, he is wide open to attacks while delivering the octoslash, if he takes any DMG while performing the attack he is automatically canceled out of the rest of the octaslash.
Up Special 	Heartless Angel	Sephiroth extends his one wing and ascends upward (about as high as Bayonetta’s recovery) while saying “Now you sleep!” This recovery is unique in that it is also a sort of counter-attack. If Sephiroth takes melee or short-range (about as large of a field as his down special) DMG while using the recovery, he quickly teleports behind the opponent and grabs them. As he grabs them, he lifts them up about as high as his recovery, while delivering dark fire DMG to them. While the recovery isn’t great, the counter is very deadly. If Sephiroth successfully counters the opponent, he says “Time to end your misery…” as he takes them upward. The opponent then receives twice the DMG they were dealing out from the attack that was countered. Along with that, once Sephiroth reaches his peak height he lets them go and the opponent falls helplessly to the ground. The counter is difficult to pull off, however, and the recovery leaves Sephiroth in a helpless falling state.
Down Special 	Firega Pillars 	Sephiroth yells “Perish!” as he holds his hand skyward, summoning three pillars of fire around him that extend about as high as Palutena’s up smash. These pillars stay in effect for about 2 seconds and have a slight gravitational pull to them. The flames deal great fire DMG, with minimal knockback. But this DMG building allows Sephiroth to go in for the kill shortly after. Sephiroth is left defenseless for a moment after the flames disappear and can take DMG and knockback while the flames are still active.
Final Smash 	Supernova 	Sephiroth fires an orb of dark energy forward a good distance, similar to Mega Man’s Final Smash initiation blast. This orb of dark firega energy sucks any opponents it captures in while Sephiroth is heard saying “I shall lead you to the promised land…” after taking a moment to capture opponents, the reality on the stage seems to crack as the shards collapse inward, revealing a large sun that is exploding with giant chunks of meteorites flying around it. Sephiroth floats in the middle of the path of the sun, saying “All becomes one with me” as he says this, the giant sun flare engulfs Sephiroth as it travels towards the captured opponents who stand on a flat broken platform. They are pummeled by meteorites and engulfed in the supernova blast. As this happens, reality reverts back to the original stage, and opponents are sent launching with massive DMG from the Final Smash.

==Role in The Elemental Labyrinth==
Sephiroth was among the many fighters present during the ceremony hosted by Master Hand and Crazy Hand. Sephiroth was present during the clash between Hearth, Floe, Master Hand, and Crazy Hand. During the clash between the six deities, Sephiroth appeared to be fighting the beams alongside Cloud and Zack, but upon receiving the nod from Balder, Sephiroth sliced both Cloud and Zack into the beams of Amperage. Shortly afterward, Sephiroth launched all 4 of the Heroes into the beams of Alluvium, followed by allowing himself to fall under the control of Amperage by getting vaporized by his beams.
