Super Smash Bros. Ultimate: SEPHIROTH Classic Mode - 9.9 Intensity No Continues

Cloud: Why is he only fighting bosses? Ridley: Beats me! He could do Smash Mode without the bosses. Cloud: I'm his main enemy. I could have shown up before he takes on the bosses or I could have shown up on the last match. Rayquaza: I was not invited. Porky: I had my machine ready. Duon: I was ready to be a boss again. Tabuu: I see why, because Sephiroth is going against every boss, and adding us in would be too much pressure for him. Master Core: Actually, Sephiroth came in as DLC. I do not think this would have been thought of before hand. I was the longest boss to face. I was removed along with y'all. Tabuu: It really does not take long to finish me off. I would have been perfect to be the semi-final boss, and then Master Core could be the final boss.

You might have already noticed this, but Master Hand has always been the final boss in Classic Mode in Super Smash Bros. Original - For Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, and then Crazy Hand comes in to assist the Mastet Hand on a higher difficulty in Melee - For Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, and I have not forgotten the Master Core in For Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, but Master Core has been removed. Sephiroth is fighting every boss, so I'm guessing that's why Master Hand and Crazy Hand are the final boss. You probably found something fitting for Galeem to be Sephiroth's opponent, but for a full boss fight, it seems like Master Hand and Crazy Hand are more likely to be the final boss.

Hmmm... We didn't even see a Cloud boss battle at all, it is part of Final Fantasy VII so why was it left out? A boss rush with only one life (did not like the one life feature in classic mode), not an easy run even if you use a ticket to stop the mural from decreasing in value, it counts as a continue regardless since you see a number at the end. A 0 must be at the end to classify as a full no continue/1CC. However, this was a great replay Beardbear did!

Cursed boss rush! Sure, Sephiroth is like Akuma of this game. He hits hard and has great mobility whether it's grounded or aerial, but his durability & endurance was not as infamous as his source material as he has the same in-game weight of Kirby, Pikachu, Mewtwo, and Olimar. Because of that, I need to remember the bosses' patterns carefully, dodge, shield, or use Down B at the right time to defend, and try to deal a large amount of damage as I can before having to avoid again. This Classic Mode was only for those who have mastered all characters' Classic Mode especially knowing all bosses you've faced before. Thankfully it's nowhere near as infamous as that goddamn finale of that universally hated "World of Light". If only if there's an easy way to get the Boss Spirits without having to go through "World of Light" all over again. I was hoping for the upcoming update that can do that.
