Mew2King released a video a few days back analyzing Sephiroth's abilities from the trailer, and the tl;dr of it is that Sephiroth's range is basically as huge and OP as everyone thought it would be.

Agree. But a lot depends on his recovery and that wall cling.

All bets are off if he sprouts a wing at high damage.

He's been shown to be able to use his sword for both.

He's got amazing range, recovery, and wall cling from the looks of it. I think the deciding factor will be how fast he is.

Early analysis put him around 14 to 25 frames (accounting for the 30fps trailer) for a lot of moves. Like Booty Judge said earlier, he will likely just be good but not great.
 
Tifa, brawler, Barrett, gunner, and Aerith, sword, costumes, a chocobo hat, and Geno brawler are the costumes.

At least I'm not suffering alone. Geno-fags hide my tears with your down pour.

also i stopped paying attention towards the end, did Sakurai say you can unlock Sephiroth early if you beat the Very Hard boss fight, or just his stage early?
 
I'm unsure. I think he said they thought about doing that but decided against it but you can still challenge him.
 
Okay, so...

Pros:
  • Utterly phenomenal recovery
  • Amazing range that can pierce through platforms and stage edges
  • Gains an extra mini-jump and boosted stats when he takes enough damage
  • Has a projectile that he can cancel out of, (I think), and can provide cover for grabbing and further attacks
  • Final Smash gives opponents status conditions like reversed controls, and flower when it hits
  • Decently powerful attacks
  • Incredible wall grab
  • Has a projectile weapon that can also double as a throwable item
  • Shield can block strong attacks, but can't reflect them
  • Seemingly very good melee attacks
  • Has an amazing victory screen
Cons:
  • Is very light and can be launched off screen easily
  • Has average to slower speed
  • Grab attacks are rather weak
  • His range can accidentally backfire on him, and cause him to accidentally KO himself
  • Despite his range, some attacks only have a very precise hitbox
  • His attacks can be countered easily by faster opponents
  • Due to his height, his hitbox is bigger than most other characters
  • Most of his more powerful attacks require a long charge time
  • His projectiles can be used against him
  • His shield cannot reflect projectiles
Anything else I missed? The stream crashed on me a few times.
