Smash Bros. Ultimate - Kirby Sephiroth

With each new character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate comes another form for Kirby. The character’s copy ability lets him take the form of the opponent he inhales and use a part of their moveset.

Nintendo has now prepared a few screenshots showing what Kirby looks like when inhaling Sephiroth, the game’s latest fighter. Check out the full set below.

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.
