I appreciate all the effort put into your CS! It looks good, although the question of making Sephiroth 'level one' is a difficult one, to be sure.

You did mention how he performs in Smash. In Smash, he's got a lot of power and range, but while his movement speed is fast his frame data is on the slow side, and some of his moves have a lot of recovery. He's also on the lighter side, able to be launched without much difficulty. This could make him into a fighter in World of Light with obvious strengths but also obvious weaknesses, and maybe lead to a personal angle where Sephiroth is frustrated by the damage he keeps taking when he knows he should be better than this.

'Expert Combatant' and 'Superhuman' describe who he is, but not how he'll perform at the beginning. Levels [i]are[/i] power for NPCs, so at the beginning, if Sephiroth were to fight, say, Tora and Poppi, two level eight characters, he would be trounced despite the incredible difference in their canon strength. As cool as it would be, he can't exactly make his entrance by slicing through a boss, either. If this if fine, then Sephiroth is accepted! Post the sheet in Characters tab and I'll send you a PM about an entry point.

This is indeed fine, and as a matter of fact my original plan as I had wanted his connection to the lifestream to be something he had to gradually rebuild by leveling up, how that works given its technically gone I suppose could be handwaved by saying part of it got put into the world of light? That or maybe all of it but again he can't just access it right off the bat due to Galeem.

Again though, I want to make it very clear that I will be doing my very best to display how he's not up to what he should be, which will help fuel his rage for Galeem even further, so hopefully no one gets too put off by his strengths and power as they are written. Especially since I did my best to hint at a significant decrease in ability throughout and imply that maybe most of his feats were merely the result of his puppets or illusions and not actually him.

But yeah, he's a fucking bitch to try and balance as far as writing goes.

In any case, I'll move him on over and start thinking on an IC post for when I can have him join in on the action.
