Strengths	Weaknesses
Zoning. Shadow Flare can pressure the opponent into taking action and follow a pace that Sephiroth dictates. Aerial combat lets Sephiroth fight comfortably without ground, or relying on it. Damage output is great with high attack stat, damaging braveries and HP wall rushes. Sephiroth can shred through bravery with a single assist combo. Meter generation, Sephiroth builds both EX and Assist meter reliably and can be built for it Builds provide ample room to optimize and adjust Sephiroth's strengths. Flexible post-dodge defense with three midair HPs providing evasion or instant guard. EX Mode amplifies Sephiroth's damage, but also lets reset the opponent's bravery to 0 with Heartless Angel with an assist. Easy and reliable at all levels of play.	Anti-Zoning. Bravery Boost on Dodge and long range counters such as Firion's Shield Bash and Exdeath's block followups can limit the effectiveness of Sephiroth's zoning. Linearity. Many of Sephiroth's attacks are either telegraphed or have average to poor tracking. No quick air pokes. Sephiroth has attacks with early dodge cancel recovery and fast startup, but not both on a single move. The only exception is Transience which is ground only bravery.
