At The Game Awards, Nintendo revealed Sephiroth for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Sephiroth from Final Fantasy VII joins the game on December 22 but Nintendo has added a limited-time challenge to unlock him beginning right now. Sephiroth follows Steve from Minecraft who joined in as a new fighter pack in the second character pass that began with Min Min. More details for Sephiroth were revealed in a new video presentation earlier today from Masahiro Sakurai. Watch the full Sephiroth presentation for Super Smash Bros. below:
How to unlock Sephiroth in Super Smash Bros Ultimate before December 22
After you update Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and have purchased either the second character pass or the Sephiroth Challenger Pack, you need to try the Sephiroth Challenge from the main menu. You can select one of three difficulties and you need to defeat Sephiroth here to unlock him immediately. The Sephiroth Challenge is available for a limited time. On December 22, Sephiroth will be unlocked for all owners of the second character pass or the Sephiroth Challenger Pack.
