who are the noble nine?
Characters that dominated the gamefaqs character polls tourneys. They would never lose to anyone outside the group until everyone decided to meme the tourney. They were
  • Link
  • Cloud Strife
  • Sephiroth
  • Mario
  • Samus Aran
  • Sonic
  • Mega Man
  • Solid Snake
  • Crono

I mean I would have done Terra given she represents the opus of the franchise on Nintendo consoles, but Seph is just as popular as cloud and is a pretty huge get, even if he's a tryhard edgelord.

It's an old Gamefaqs thing from the Character Battle polls they used to run. The Noble Nine were generally a group of characters that consistently put up the best numbers year after year (Mario, Sonic, Link, Samus, Snake, Mega Man, Cloud, Sephiroth and Crono) to the point that they were generally in a tier all their own and only ever lost to each other until someone (I think Crono?) eventually did.

9 out of 10 characters are in Smash, and we have 3 slots left. I think it has potential.

Getting another FF7 character and not going for Tifa is bullshit.
I mean if another rep should make it in(I'm already mad Sephiroth is the second rep) then it should be Aerith considering she was already referenced with Clouds reveal and they did it AGAIN with Sephiroths trailer.

Either way a second 7 rep is bullshit and it should have been Terra, WoL or Squall.

So all of them are in Smash now except for the one who doesn't deserve to be there (Crono was the first to lose to a character not in that group).

I legit would have preferred someone like Vaan over Sephiroth. FFVII really didn't need a second character.

I love Tifa myself, but why on earth would Nintendo pick Tifa above Sephiroth if they had to choose? Or any other character in the larger Final Fantasy system? Some of you people are nonsensical.

I'm happy for all you FF fans.
The trailer was fun and Sephiroth is undoubtedly an icon, but, you know...peep the avatar lol
I was hoping for my boy Crash T.T, maybe next time...

Love Sephiroth! I'm getting the fighter's pass now, damn I'm so hyped!

Also, really liked the trailer, would've been cool if we could fight Sephiroth as the final boss in the campaign mode. Haha

They better add some more FFVII music. They did Cloud dirty with how little they let Sakurai have.

I love Tifa, but Sephiroth is the most iconic FF villain and one of the most popular gaming characters ever, so of course he would be the second FF rep after Cloud. You can't say no to Cloud vs Sephiroth.

I am very happy. He was one of my most wanted characters.

The one-winged angel, Sephiroth from the
@FINALFANTASY
series, joins #SmashBrosUltimate as a DLC fighter later this month! Tune in at 2pm PT on 12/17 for a presentation from director Masahiro Sakurai all about the DLC fighter, including the release date!

D:

That would be the ultimate "she must be not be forgotten" middle finger to everyone. I kind of would have loved to see that meltdown.

for sure.

it would have been insane. Plus it would have been a big monkeys paw character as well

Smash Fans: We'd love more gender diversity and Square Characters (Looking longingly at 2B)

Sakuri: Wish Granted: She will not be forgotten
