This is so useful. your content is quite well thought out and concise. Keep up the good work!

[@shoxas]

Thanks for the support and will do!

[@iTokyoDemon]

Cool Edit: Actually wow. This was a surprise, different from your usual style. I like it, and support if you plan to do more voice over for certain techs. I like how you showed your training routine for it then showed it in a match. Really well done dude, congrats on the 6k! Hope to see more my dude.

Very cool

I have 2 things to say 1.) you're better than me who has played this game since release and has almost 4k hours on it where I mostly train against CPUs and against my brother 2.) as a sef E broth main, this was very helpful, thank you

[@shoxas]

I’ve also dedicated way too much time to this game so I’m just trying to spread the knowledge. Glad I could help man

[@laurentjanuzaj2281]

Hey Shoxas, will you do a training routine for Cloud aswell? :) I really struggle to find one for myself especially for movement

[@shoxas]

Always more Cloud stuff in the works

[@DiverseStyle]

You know between the whole “Sephiroth is better offline” and WiFi just being WiFi, it’s your content that really helps me not get discouraged to stick to the character.

[@shoxas]

Man this is sick! Glad to hear it

To me, you are THE SEPHIROTH teacher. Wonderful content thank you!

Your pfp is godtier

[@TheEsj3]

Just want to say thank you! I'm new to Smash and Sephiroth is my favorite. I'm having a lot of trouble using his Nair in a combo. I saw top players able to nair 3 or 4 times and sometimes reverse it into a back nair then into a bair, like how Ned did it in a match against lucina I hope there would be a future video that can break down the input.

[@shoxas]

Sure if I can make it simplified I'll look into it!

[@peresso_6836]

Man these vids are sooo good. I would literally pay you to make more sephiroth tech guides. If you could make a video on sephiroth ledge trapping that would be amazing

[@alexv0714]

90% gigaflare at ledge ngl it's so broken, just timing it well it'll cover nearly every option, and if they just fall to avoid the hitbox then regrab ledge you can hell's gate them for it

[@shoxas]

I’ll note it and prob will

@@itsteej5304 Try changing the speed to 3/4 in the training room, and then once you can do that consistently, speed it up. Even 1/2 can help to really break it down too.

Actually when I first picked up ultimate I used m2 so thankfully that time spend has helped with seph. They definitely share some good stuff and you’re welcome!

Excuse me can you tell me if I’m right so you jump backwards press b and flick the stick too b reverse side b

[@alyssakohne883]

You my friend have earned another very happy subscriber! I've always been a fan of Sephiroth though I was never able to play FFVII until recently. My brother-in-law is pretty good at Smash Bros so I figured what better way to instill some fear than to wreck him with Sephiroth the next time we play? All in good fun of course. I was a Ganondorf main before this so this is a huge switch for me. 😂 I love these videos! You do a wonderful job!

[@marklabs4612]

very helpful, but how do you attack cancel double jump up air? I know this was about specials, but I'd like to learn other tech

[@Kebab_2718]

Sorry if this is a year old video, I’m starting to practicing Sephiroth b reverse, but I air dodge every time I try to do it, can someone explain how to do it without miss inputting?

[@stupidw33b52]

Just a little correction a few times in the video you were talking about b reversing shadow flare but you are actually wave bouncing

As a sephiroth main, this was very helpful, thank you!

Sephiroth the goat

[@starmantheta2028]

Been trying to learn the Seph matchup so I've been trying to watch as many vids as I can. I'm curious, is there a good counterplay to the neutral-b cancel bait/ledge trap? It seems like you could avoid it by just waiting to see if Seph throws it or not, but maybe I'm missing something? Does he have some sort of sneaky tech to catch people who don't approach that I'm not aware of? Or is it mostly just a conditioning tool?

[@shoxas]

Mega flare with hit ya if you stay too long, also can cancel into d smash but yeah it’s best for catching onto your getup options/timing

[@starmantheta2028]

@@shoxas ah OK, I see. Does he have any options fast enough to catch people trying to neutral get up or roll through the explosion? Right now I'm trying to practice buffered d-smash but I can't seem to nail it fast enough. Wavebounce shadowflare maybe? Sorry if it seems like I'm grilling you. Just trying to figure out any non-obvious tech that "how to beat" guides invariably miss so I know what to look out for. Didn't know about that nasty aerial octoslash or wb shadowflare gimp tech you posted about recently, for instance.

[@tap7645]

Ah yes, sweaty try-hards.

Jump cancelling can also be done by pressing shield as soon as you land if your struggling.

[@shoxas]

Trueee, just watch out for unwanted air-dodges

[@mikefreaknwalsh]

another thing you can do with sephiroth is putting your opponent in an untechable stage spike with neutral b. if you dont know what i mean, watch Nairo
