Super Smash Bros. Ultimate: Sephiroth Challenge (Zelda, Very Hard)
Ultimate's patch of 10.0.0 comes with Final Fantasy VII's Sephiroth, as well as more Final Fantasy content that the franchise desperately needed in Smash.
From December 17th 2020 to December 22nd 2020, this patch also came with a limited-time event called Sephiroth Challenge. In it, you have to defeat Sephiroth in a Stamina Battle on either Easy, Normal, or Very Hard. The higher the difficulty, the stronger Sephiroth is and the more HP he has.
When you beat him for the first time, you unlock him ahead of his original release of December 22 2020. If you lose, you can always try again, though the original plan is that you only had one chance to do this.
I'm gonna focus on different characters beating him on Very Hard. More specifically, characters that were conscious to witness Sephiroth's arrival in the CGI moments of his trailer, as well as explaining what they did.
----------
Zelda was among the selection of fighters to witness what was going to be Galeem's final attack upon them to eliminate them all. She was hurt, barely hanging on. "It's now or never!" She said in the World of Light intro, but at this point, she could barely stand her ground, anymore...
Then Sephiroth appears to kill Galeem in one slash. No doubt he was gonna target everyone else, too, though Zelda might trigger a special kind of response.
----------
In both Smash 4 and Ultimate, both games' version of Zelda have been stand-ins for Final Fantasy VII's Aerith, who was tragically killed by Sephiroth during the game. Sephiroth's Down Aerial attack, Hell's Gate, is the very same move he used to killed Aerith.
If you didn't already know this for over 5-23 years, then sorry. That's public domain knowledge, at this point.
