Game:Sephiroth: Difference between revisions

In the ''Final Mix'' version, there are more options, due to the new Leaf Veil/Leaf Bracer ability, you can time Curaga right to avoid most of Sepiroth's blows and powerful finishers. Thus, you can also avoid and heal at the same time, so if you see a powerful attack coming, don't hesitate to heal if you have the chance. In this version you should keep track of the number of hits you deal, since on the 7th hit Sephiroth will immediately react with one of his attacks no matter what. You may want to use ''Strike Raid'' right after dealing the 7th hit so he doesn't catch you off guard. Only attacks that stagger him do count.-->

|Swings the Masamune from left to right.

|Often used in response to combo finishers, with Sephiroth teleporting behind Sora before performing. Sora can use Lock-On while Sephiroth is teleporting in order to predict where he will reappear. Can be blocked with [[Guard]], dodged with Jump, [[Dodge Roll]], or [[Sliding Dash]], or negated using the invincibility frames of [[Leaf Bracer]] or a Special Attack. It has a slightly shorter pause beforehand compared to Stepping Mow Down.

|''"Meet your fate."'' <br>Leaps forward swinging the Masamune, then springs back to his original location.

|Often used in response to combo finishers, with Sephiroth teleporting behind Sora before performing. Sora can use Lock-On while Sephiroth is teleporting in order to predict where he will reappear. Can be blocked with [[Guard]], dodged with Jump, [[Dodge Roll]], or [[Sliding Dash]], or negated using the invincibility frames of [[Leaf Bracer]] or a Special Attack. It has a slightly longer pause beforehand compared to Rapid Mow Down.

|''"Out of my way."'' / ''"Time to end this."''{{?}}<br>Summons three pillars of fire around himself.

|Can be negated using a Special Attack. Sephiroth is stationary while performing the technique, making him vulnerable to attack, but will not flinch. Sephiroth often performs this technique when close to Sora, making it difficult to dodge.

|Blockable (Recoil:100)

|''"Dodge this!"'' <br>Leaps forward at an angle while spiraling.

{{Atk-m|{{nihongo|'''Wild Dance'''|乱舞|<br>Ranbu}}

|Blockable (Recoil:100)

|''"Come power!"'' / "''Prepare yourself!"''<br>Swings the Masamune several times while chasing Sora, then leaps up and swings it downward while falling<!--KHU desc-->, releasing shockwaves in a cross-shaped pattern.

|Telegraphed by the arena darkening. Sephiroth will occasionally try to flank Sora from the side or rear, usually after he connects with a previous slash. Can be blocked with well-timed [[Guard]]s, dodged with [[Dodge Roll]] or [[Sliding Dash]], or negated using the invincibility frames of [[Leaf Bracer]] or a Special Attack; the final blow and its shockwaves can also be negated using the invulnerability frames of a midair attack. Usually followed with Heartless Angel. If Leaf Bracer is not equipped, Sephiroth will usually interrupt any healing that Sora attempts, so it is more reliable to use a Special Attack.

''"I shall lead you to the Promised Land."'' / ''"The Planet and I ... to be one!"''<br>Drops meteorites around himself, spins them with himself at the center, then fires the energy forward and detonates it.

|The rings of meteorites have gaps between them, which can be threaded with well-timed running or [[Dodge Roll]]s. The final energy detonation can be dodged with a well-timed [[Dodge Roll]], [[Superglide]], or [[Sliding Dash]], or negated using the invulnerability frames of [[Leaf Bracer]] or a Special Attack. Although Sephiroth is stationary, he is invulnerable for the duration of the technique.

{{Atk|{{nihongo|'''Shadow Flare'''|シャドウフレア|Shadou Furea}}

|Blockable (Recoil:100)

|Summons pale spheres in midair<!--KHU desc--> which home in on Sora.

{{Atk|{{nihongo|'''Heartless Angel'''|心無い天使|Kokoronai Tenshi}}

|''"Descend, Heartless Angel!"''<ref>The Bradygames guide for ''Kingdom Hearts'' misquotes the telegraph for Heartless Angel as "Sin Harvest".</ref> /  ""Time to end your misery..."''{{fact}}<br>Summons a halo over Sora's head that depletes his HP to 1 and MP to 0.

|Only used in the second and third phases. Telegraphed by Sephiroth summoning a halo above himself before transferring it to Sora, sometimes teleporting beforehand to gain distance from Sora. Can be interrupted by attacking Sephiroth in between his telegraph and the halo being transferred to Sora, so Superglide or Sliding Dash toward him and attack, or use Strike Raid if Sora is on the ground. If interrupted, Sephiroth will perform Figa Wall. If Sora can't get to Sephiroth in time, he should immediately heal himself with a Hi-Potion or Elixir as soon as his HP depletes. In the third phase, he will not always call out "Descend, Heartless Angel!" when performing the technique.
