Ahead of the release of Sephiroth in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate next week, Nintendo is releasing something a bit early for the fans. Players can partake in Sephiroth Challenge, a limited-time mode where you can fight Sephiroth as a boss. Defeat him and you can use him and the Northern Cave stage prior to the release date.

Sephiroth Challenge will be live in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate between December 17 and December 22. Note that you’ll need to have purchased the Sephiroth DLC / Fighters Pass Vol. 2 to access the event.


Today’s Super Smash Bros. Ultimate presentation with Masahiro Sakurai largely focused on Sephiroth joining the game as the next DLC fighter. However, there was a bit of other news as well.

Like previous broadcasts with Sakurai, the latest set of Mii Fighter costumes were unveiled. The lineup includes Barret (Outfit/Gunner), Tifa (Outfit/Brawler), Aerith (Outfit/Swordfighter), Chocobo (Hat), and Geno (Gunner).

All of these Mii Fighter costumes drop alongside the release of Sephiroth. They’re priced at $0.75 each.

Sephiroth was announced at The Game Awards 2020 last week, and we’ll now be getting a proper look at the fighter during a presentation with director Masahiro Sakurai. The broadcast begins at 2 PM PT / 5 PM ET / 10 PM in the UK / 11 PM in Europe.

You can watch the presentation as it happens below. We’ll have our regular coverage going during and after the event.
