This is the closest we'll get to Kenny Omega being in the game.
Cloud started Smashing five years ago, and now his eternal rival is joining the fight.
Sephiroth, the main antagonist of Final Fantasy VII, has been revealed as the third fighter of the second Fighter's Pass. According to the trailer, he will be available this month: no more specifics were given.
UPDATE 8:00 ET: A presentation by Masahiro Sakurai will air for Sephiroth on Thursday (December 17) at 5 p.m. ET / 2 p.m. PT to show off the character and provide a release date.
I'm curious if Sephy will get a new stage, though, considering that we already have Midgar and Midgar is all that the remake has done so far. Knowing Nintendo, the extent of their creativity is that they'll just have another Midgar stage based on the Remake with maybe some floating platforms that move every once in a while.Someone didn’t watch the trailer, a massive love letter to Advent Children which is weird because Sephiroth is barely in it. Sorry, spoilers for a 15 year old movie. I digress. Every DLC character gets a new stage. 1:30 in the trailer shows the new stage for the first time. Looks like the Northern Cave with Lifestream making an appearance. Sorry, spoilers for a 23 year old game.
4/4 so far on disappointing new character announcements in this 2nd Fighter's Pass. I mean, we could have at least gotten a character from a DIFFERENT Final Fantasy game than the one we already had.Let’s not kid ourselves here. You would’ve been disappointed regardless because you’re always disappointed. Have you considered not buying the DLC?

(which, IMO, is what this DLC should be for, since you're catering to the hardcore, but I digress). Still, compared to the 1st Fighter's Pass, the 2nd's felt pretty lacking so far. Hopefully the last 3 characters pick up the slack. I could have sworn we were on character 4, but we're only at 3.The DLC is for straight up squeezing more money from marks like me. Besides Byleth in Fighter Pass Vol. 1 and Min Min in Fighter Pass Vol. 2, all of the choices have been strategically picked to make money by either being a hardcore choice (i.e. Joker, Hero) or too popular to not recognize (i.e. Steve). Byleth and Min Min were obvious marketing choices. Fine, I get it. Min Min needed the exposure more. Fire Emblem is popular enough on its own, but Nintendo picked Byleth, and Sakurai loves him some anime swordsmen.
As for "not buying the DLC", it's Smash. Nintendo's not putting out SP content for it and we won't be getting a new Smash for at least another generation, so you either get the new characters & stages, or you don't play the game.I mean, there are 74 characters in the base game. I don’t know how 12 more really moves the needle from not playing the game to playing the game. Hey, to each his own.
