Yeah I’ve noticed drop down fair isn’t as safe at low percents, even if you hit it, so drop down side b is a good mix up.

One that I'd like to add is b reverse and wave bounce shadow flare (any character can do this but since Sephiroth can turn his side b around its very good for him) you can jump at your opponent and fake an approach out by b reversing it, then turning it around, its very good since if they're expecting you to jump right towards you they might try using an attack or parrying and they'll just get hit by it

It's always awesome to see Seph love! I've learned the neutral B reverse edge guard from my previous main Joker, which works just as well. One more tech I feel should be included are the different kinds of bairs. You can down throw to attack cancel bair, which sets up a lovely tech chase. The other important bair to Seph's game I feel is IRAR bairs. Sephiroth's back air is too strong not to optimize
@metaking42633 жыл бұрын
Some other advice, for the love of god, Dont dash attack, and Down air after the dash attack near ledge, the momentum of dash attack pushes you forward when you jump and when you try to go for stage spike with Sephiroth you end up falling to your doom.

@@shoxas thanks just figured it out, also ive figured out how to effectivly use his foward air (the front stab) its best used for landing when your opponent is at the front and can be used to prod opponents who go back onto the stage by ledge you have to bait them to either do an attack ledge or just go back onto ledge casually if they go for the longer ledge dodge it can ruin the blades pushback and damage as its upclose, as for jumping that one can really depend if they have a means to fight back but its also really tricky to perform because of timing
