Super Smash Bros. Ultimate director Masahiro Sakurai published his latest Famitsu column this week. Given that Sephiroth just joined the game as the latest DLC character, it makes sense that the piece was entirely about the new roster addition.

Sakurai’s column offers insight into how Sephiroth was implemented, including the challenges involved and his “Winged Form”. He also briefly touches on the game’s reveal trailer.

Here’s our full translation:

GameXplain has shared footage of the latest update / DLC for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Have a look at the video below for gameplay of Cloud’s new Final Smash, the Sephiroth Spirit Board, and new Mii Fighter costumes.

Nintendo released the new 10.1.0 update for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate a short while ago. It contains full support for Sephiroth (including spirits), the new Mii Fighter costumes, and latest round of fighter adjustments.

Nintendo has now shared the full patch notes for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate version 10.1.0. We have them in full below.

Update: The patch notes and fighter adjustments are in – see this post.


Original: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has been updated to version 10.1.0.
